I would describe the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration exclusive stamp set called Make a Medallion as sophisticated with countless, creative layering possibilities. I used it on both the card and envelope today! Earn it FREE with a $50 product order during Sale-A-Bration. Ends March 31.
I opted to use the French version on today’s card, Médaillon Sur Mesure (#144285), for a little added pizzazz to the sentiments. Amitié means friendship. Nice. Take a peek at the Sale-A-Bration stamp set options in French here. These stamp sets are available as FREE Sale-A-Bration gifts for qualifying orders, too!
JUST 10 MORE DAYS remain to earn Sale-A-Bration free gifts (see them here). The gifts are only available while supplies last!
Last Friday, I offered you a poll and opportunity to vote on your favorite retiring Stampin’ Up! 2015-2017 In Color. Here are the results. Mint Macaron was your clear winner! Thank you for your amazing response! THE POLL IS NOW CLOSED.
MY PICK? Of the retiring In Colors, I will miss Watermelon Wonder. I love the rich, coral red, which is beautiful for spring but transitions beautifully with the right color mix year round!
I paired Watermelon Wonder with Tempting Turquoise for today’s card!
GET THE THE RETIRING IN COLORS NOW! Don’t wait for these colors and coordinating inks, card stock, embellishments and more to officially go on the retiring product list on April 10, since they may sell out quickly. Learn more on my “If You Love Them, Get Them Now” post here.
