Ink it! Stamp it! Design Team Blog Hop: Sale-A-Bration/Occasions 2018

Welcome to the Ink it! Stamp it! Design Team Blog Hop - we hop every month so be sure to pop back and visit us again!  Today our theme is Sale-A-Bration and the Occasions Catalogue - such an exciting time in the Stampin' Up calendar!

You are currently at my page - Stephanie Fischer, The Crafty Thinker.  At the end of my post there is a full line up of team members, please click on the name after mine in the list to continue the hop.

As soon as I saw it, I completely fell in love with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set and confess that I bumped up my purchases a bit so that I could get my hands on it!  It's one of the AMAZING products exclusive to the new Sale-A-Bration Catalogue that are free with qualifying orders.

Most of the products in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue are (as usual) free with a purchase of $90, however, this year there are also a few that require a spend of $180.

I made easel cards because I happened to be demonstrating that fun fold in class and I've teamed that glorious image with a variety of Designer Series Papers from the current Annual Catalogue.

The little heart-shaped embellishments are discarded remnants from using the Starlight dies in another card!

I used a combination of Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green inks
Fresh Floral paper and Tranquil Tide cardstock

The simplicity of this ombre Color Theory paper really sets off the detailed beauty of  the Heartfelt Blooms

I hope you've enjoyed these cards and I welcome your comments.
