Home to Roost Friendship Card

Today’s friend card highlights the Home to Roost stamp set and Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (black gingham).   Both are level 1 Sale-A-Bration gifts and can be earned FREE with a qualifying order (see below).  With just a few strokes of color from my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends, the rooster from Home to Roost stamp set comes to life.  No wonder this stamp set has become “the darling” of the Sale-A-Bration promotion. 

GET THEM NOW before Sale-A-Bration ends!  These links include all available Sale-A-Bration  products in “real time!”  Products are available through March 31 or while supplies last.

  1. I love the selective coloring – and the beautiful texture from this embossing folder. Great pairing! ♥

    • I love the hexagon folder embossing for creating a cover over the bumps and embellishments of handcrafted cards. Reminds me of bubble wrap but in coordinating colors!

  2. The WOW factor is turned up quite a bit. I LOVE the colors, especially the Calypso Coral layer. I couldn’t see the embossing in the first photo and I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Thank goodness you did a close up because the hexagon is awesome! TFS.

    • and that is the second photo I took of the first one. texture can be tricky. glad you could see it in the close-up, Juanita.

  3. I love everything about both of your rooster cards! The hexagon background is my favorite! I feel a case coming on!!

  4. Love, Love both of your cards. The layers and textures are wonderful. Can’t wait to give them a try.

    • Thanks, Roberta. This little stamp set has surprised me with it’s versatility.

    • Thanks, Kadie. It was a bit of a challenge photographing the hexagon texture! Glad you noticed.

  5. Oh WOW!! this handsome Rooster can look awesome in any color, love both of these cards, your layout really shows off the beautiful image perfectly.
