Sale-A-Bration, one of Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotions of the year, begins Jan. 28 (thru March 31). Today’s card shares a look at one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration gifts (“You’re Lovely” stamp set) you can earn for every $50 you spend (total before shipping and tax). Very lovely, indeed!
My card layout was inspired by this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA188, sketch by Margaret Moody). Check out what the rest of the PPA Design Team created with this sketch HERE and play along!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Perfect! The label stamp from You’re Lovely stamp set (available as part of the Sale-A-Bration Promotion starting Jan. 28) coordinates with one of the dies from the Deco Labels Framelits Collection.
- I paper pieced the flowers and popped them up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Each little blossom in the row of flowers is dotted with one of the tiny Pearl Basic Jewels.
- Even the interior gets a finishing touch with the same stamp.
- A flirty polish is accomplished by tucking the Coastal Cabana 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim under the patterned paper (Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper, Occasions Catalog)

Hi Amanda: Great question! I attached the ruffle ribbon with Sticky Strip on the back side of the DSP. I didnt pull on it so there wouldnt be any added tension, potentially pulling on the paper or detaching. Its not going anywhere 🙂
so – share your magic for getting that super cute ruffle stretch trim to stay on your cards!
