  • Papers: Watercolor Paper (122959), Bermuda Bay Card Stock (131197), Shine On Specialty Designer Series Paper (140579), 
  • Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Pad (132708), Smoky Slate Stampin’ Pad (131179), your choice of Stampin’ Write Markers
  • Other: Bermuda Bay 1/8” Stitched Ribbon (140569), Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim (137910), Paper-Piercing Tool (126189), Stampin’ Pierce Mat (126199), Updated Essentials {Paper Piercing} (138371), Aqua Painters (103954), Tear & Tape Adhesive (138995), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Stampin’ Trimmer (126889) & Paper Snips (103579)
Measurements:
  • Card base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
  • Watercolor paper: start with piece 4-1/4” x 3-1/4”, then use trimmer to diagonally slice off a piece so right side is 2-1/2” high
  • DSP piece: 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” 
Instructions:
  1. Stamp a bicycle on Watercolor Paper piece and center as shown. Add extras that you like (basket, basket contents, bird, etc.) Color in bicycle with markers of your choice. Lighter markers work best to allow the definition of the image to show.
  2. Take Smoky Slate ink pad and, while closed, gently squeeze lid into ink so ink will pool a little on it. Open pad. Using slightly damp Aqua Painter (no need to fill, just wet the tip), dab the Smoky Slate ink and lightly brush under bicycle for shadow. My brush was almost dry and it created a cool streaking/ shadowing.
  3. Stamp your favorite sentiment with Memento Pad.
  4. Affix DSP to corresponding colored card base using SNAIL.
  5. Pierce one straight line across bottom of watercolor paper; tie ribbon around just above pierced area; adhere to card front allowing a little of the top of the DSP to peek through and scatter/adhere sequins on front.
  6. Now get out an envelope and mail or give it to someone!

Three New Sale-A-Bration Items

Great news! There are three brand new Sale-a-Bration products available now and I just know you’re going to love them! They are:


Metallics Glitter Tape
This is SUCH a fun product. It’s a bit like washi tape in that you can tear it and use it in almost the same way but... it’s glittery! It comes in a pack of three rolls: gold, silver and white. Best of all? You can color the white tape with sponge daubers or aqua painters to create glittery tape in any of our fabulous colors!


Party Pants
Now stop it, “pants” means “trousers” in this case, but if you have special party pants, too, that’s entirely up to you! This is a fun word set, with the fun addition of a balloon stamp, which co-ordinates with the new balloon punch. What’s not to like? Available in wood- or clear-mount.


Pedal Pusher
Another great stamp set, this time featuring a really cute tandem... and lots of accessories you can stamp on top... oh, and it’s photopolymer so it’s really easy to line things up, too.

How do YOU get hold of these great products? That’s easy: all you have to do is place a $50 order between now and the end of March, and choose one as your free gift. You can start shopping at my online store HERE.
