Saying good bye to Counting Sheep!

Tuesday, 28 September 2021

It is so hard to believe that we are almost at the end of September and another Sale-a-Bration event!  One of my favourite stamp sets from Sale-a-Bration is Counting Sheep and the fact that there are coordinating dies to go with it make it even better.  You can still get your hands on the stamp set, dies or both until September 30th.  They are available with a $60 CDN order or $120 CDN order if you want both!  Don't miss out as they may disappear before September 30th due to their popularity!

I shared this card on a recent Facebook Live Sketch Challenge that I did.  I love how it turned out!  

Instructions

  1. Cut Basic Black card stock 5 1/2" x 7 1/4" and score at 3".  Fold on scoreline to form card base.
  2. Cut Bermuda Bay card stock 1/2" x 5 1/2" and adhere on the right hand edge of the inside of the card base using Stampin' Seal.

  4. Cut Basic White card stock 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the inside of the card using Stampin' Seal.
  5. Cut Basic White card stock 1" x 3".  Stamp sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Adhere to the card front using Stampin' Seal about 2 1/4" from bottom
  6. Cut Designer Series Paper 1/2" x 3" and adhere below Basic White strip using Stampin' Seal.
  7. Stamp sheep on Basic White card stock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colour using Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends.  Cut out using Die.
  8. Adhere to card base above sentiment using Dimensionals.
