This Special Reason Bundle (stamp set and Stylish Stems Framelits Dies) is so versatile. I decided to make this card very simple with just a few extra touches.

I used So Saffron card stock and Subtles DSP along with a piece of Whisper White that I ran through the Big Shot with the Softly Falling embossing folder, before sending it back through with the larger flower detailed die from the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies.

I ran a few pieces of scrap paper through with the smaller leaf dies along with stamping a few leaves and then cutting them out with the dies. I used the Sahara Sand ink for the large leaves.

I used the Happy Birthday Wishes stamp from the Avant Garden stamp set (free from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) because I wanted to use the frame stamp and die from the set and I needed a sentiment that would fit – and it did – perfectly! I stamped the sentiment in Sahara Sand to match the leaves. I finished it with a few strands of the Linen Thread and that was it!

I hope you liked today’s card! Check out my ‘Special Reason’ Pinterest board for more inspiration and ideas… (it’s where I get much of my inspiration!) If you would like to purchase any of the products I used for this project, I hope you will give me the opportunity to shop through me. I have the products listed below.

Feel free to browse the catalog here, or let me know if you would like a hard copy of any of the catalogs. Stampin’ Up! has just added new free items to choose from with your $50 purchase in the second-release Sale-A-Bration catalog. If you click on the Sale-A-Bration catalog in the sidebar of any blog page, you will see both catalogs come up. Let me know if you would like a paper copy and I will be happy to send you a free copy.

Don’t forget – Sale-A-Bration ends next week! Last day for free stamp sets is March 31st! So many great new products…and when you spend $50 on either the Annual or Occasions catalog, you choose any FREE item out of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog!

Just a note on the SAB catalog items…some of the items are selling out, so keep in mind that all the free items are only ‘while supplies last’!

 Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments! I would love to hear from you!
