It’s time for another Be Inspired Blog Hop and this month we are featuring all things about celebrations. There are so many things to celebrate and that’s what card making is essentially about – making cards to celebrate a friendship, a birthday, a wedding, memories, a graduation – you name it – there’s a reason to make a handmade card! I took this month as an opportunity to also use a Sale-a-Bration stamp set called Day to Celebrate. It literally says it in the name!
You can earn this stamp set for free only until Friday with a $100 order! You can find this and many more Sale-a-Bration products in my store here.

Here’s a close up look at the finished card. I had fun playing with a bright and fun colour combo combining; Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo to create this celebration card and had fun also incorporating the brand new Online Exclusive Painted Stripes Background stamp << this is a must have!

You can see some of the fun detail and additional embellishments like the white ribbon and Tinsel Gems which helped to give this card a bit of extra pizzazz!
