The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.
Today features projects use products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. You can choose a free item from the brochure with every $50 ordered during from Sale-a-Bration! Select items require a purchase of $100 or more. This promotion is from 3 August - 30 September, 2021.
During the Demonstrator Pre-order, I earned the Counting Sheep (1st order of $50) and Sheep Dies ($50 more on same order) I know I've already shared a few cards using this set, but it is such a fun set, I'm sharing another one!
I CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) this card from Heather Parratt. The background paper is from Beauty of the Earth. The paper looks like sky and grass, making look like the sheep are out in the Barn yard! I really like this layout and found it easy to duplicate. I tested some coloring on the sheep as well.

These beautiful cards are de using the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. This set is free with a $100 purchase or more. It is really a beautiful set. It uses the 2-step technique - stamp the outline image first, stamp the filler image 2nd. A stamparatus tool works great to help line up the stamps if your not confident with your stamping technique.
Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, site back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects. Leave a comment below to share your thoughts.
