Stampin' Up! 2014 Sale-A-Bration {Studio-Sara} Countdown: Banner Blast & Banner Punch

Welcome to another installment of my Sale-A-Bration Finale Countdown...  I *LOVE* the Banner Blast set (SAB page 13, 133551) and coordinating Banner punch (133519)!  Receive either for free with a $50 merchandise purchase or *BOTH* for a $100 merchandise purchase.

This card was created for the Runway Inspired Challenge #54 and Simon Says Stamp challenge.  Runway Inspired challenged us with a lovely Diane von Furstenberg dress.

I love a little peekaboo detail inside!

The little heart comes from the Owl Builder punch (AC page 183, 118074).  The fun flags are cut from Kaleidoscope DSP, found in the Occasions Catalog (page 27, 132995).

This project was made for challenges at The Shabby Tea Room and Seize the Sketch.

The DSP is from the In Colors 2012-14 Paper Stack (AC page 152, 130137).  The heart stamp and polka dot pattern (in the yellow flag) come from Banner Blast (SAB).

The Gumball Green card stock was run through my Big Shot (AC page 184, 113439) using the Arrows TIEF (OC page 26, 132187).  The Primrose Petals circle was run through my Big Shot twice; it was cut into a circle using the Circles Collection Framelits (AC page 186, 130911) and again to add texture with the Perfect Polka Dots TIEF (AC page 191, 117335).

My Simply Scored Tool (AC page 178, 122334) was used to make the flags' poles.

My Banner punch made perfect rays for my sun.  Read more about this project {HERE}.

I had so much fun making this card for the Mojo Monday MOJO337 and Colour Me Card Challenge #12.  Read {THIS POST} about it for more details.

Stampin' Up! 2014 Sale-A-Bration {Studio-Sara} Countdown: Sweet Sorbet DSP

We are in the final days of Sale-A-Bration, the annual promotion from Stampin' Up! which gives you a freebie with every $50 in merchandise spent.  Click {HERE} to view the Sale-a-Bration ("SAB") brochure to see the freebies.

Today's post is dedicated to some projects using the Sweet Sorbet DSP (SAB page 11 133521).  I *LOVE* playing with this DSP and will be so very sad when it is no longer available.

This card was created for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #212.  I used Sweet Sorbet DSP in the Sahara Sand vertical piece as well as in the dotted Scalloped Circle (AC page 182, 119854) piece.  

Another Sale-A-Bration freebie, the Decorative Dots TIEF (SAB page 12, 133520), gives texture to the Pansy Punch (AC page 183, 130698) flower in Pool Party.

In the following project, I used the same elements, but reversed the pieces that had been run through my Big Shot (AC, page 184, 113439) with a TIEF.  I used the Fancy Fan TIEF (AC, page 191, 127751) on the Crisp Cantaloupe piece and the aforementioned Decorative Dots on the Pool Party bloom.

This next project was created for the Mojo Monday MOJO333, Shabby Tea Room 206, and Seize the Birthday 307 challenges.  Love the florals mixed with the dots.  Both patterns are free in the Sweet Sorbet DSP, available as a SAB freebie with each $50 merchandise purchase.

I made the vertical piece with the hearts...

Finally, I just created this card for the Runway Inspired #56, Freshly Made Sketches #128, and Seize the Birthday #310 challenges.

The variety of images and color combinations makes Sweet Sorbet such a versatile package of DSP!
