Fresh Vintage for the Scrapbook

Hello!

Here's a set of 6" x 6" scrapbook pages made using a couple of the great products you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration combined with two of the awesome new tools for the Big Shot that you can find in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This project was designed for the January meeting of the SASS Stamp Club just over a week ago.

These pages begin with a base of Very Vanilla Textured cardstock.  The medallion image from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was randomly stamped around the outside edges of both pages using Peach Parfait ink; then the edges of the pages were sponged with Peach Parfait ink.  The top edge of the pieces of Peach Parfait cardstock at the center of each page were die cut with the wide wavy edge from the Adorning Accents Edgelits dies for the Big Shot.  Each of the die cut edges were embossed using the wide wavy edge embossing folder from the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions embossing folder.  The small five-petal flower from the Fresh Vintage stamp set was randomly stamped below the die cut/embossed edges of the Peach Parfait cardstock pieces using Peach Parfait ink.

A piece of Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper was adhered along the bottom edge of each piece of Peach Parfait cardstock.  A piece of Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon was adhered along the top edge of the Designer Series Paper and two gold brads were inserted at the outside edge of each page.  Finally, the edges of each piece of Peach Parfait cardstock were sponged with Peach Parfait ink.  The Peach Parfait cardstock pieces were adhered to each page with the bottom, left, and right edges of of the Peach Parfait cardstock approximately 1/4" away from the bottom, left, and right edges of the Very Vanilla Textured cardstock.

Page embellishments were created for each page by choosing colors from the strip of Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper adhered to the bottom edge of the Peach Parfait cardstock pieces.  The medallion image was stamped twice on scraps of Very Vanilla cardstock:  the first time using Pool Party ink, and the second time using Poppy Parade ink.  This process was repeated for the five-petal flower image.  All of the stamped images were cut out using Paper Snips.  The Poppy Parade medallion was combined with the Pool Party five-petal flower and the Pool Party medallion was combined with the Poppy Parade five-petal flower.  A hole was pierced through the center of each combined page embellishment, a gold brad inserted at the center, and the edges of each five-petal flower pulled up with the fingertips.  The completed page embellishments were adhered to the scrapbook pages using Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the ladies in the SASS Stamp Club who don't scrapbook, here's the scrapbook page design translated into a greeting card.

Be sure to stop by at the end of the week for the Stampin' Addicts Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop.  I'll be joining a talented group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators featuring ideas for using the great products you can earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration.

I look forward to seeing you then!
