Have Sale-a-bration stamps…must USE Sale-a-bration stamps! The Avant Garden, part of the Sale-a-Bration 2017 promotion, is such a pretty stamp set! I made 4 different cards with it last night and I will be posting each one so you will have the products I used if you want to create your own. Maybe you want to join one of my classes? I do offer some of my classes “to go.” I am working on adding OnLine Classes to my schedule, so stay tuned! When I do, like the rest of my schedule, it will be posted under “My Events” in the menu bar.
Like most of my creations, the first thing I grabbed after deciding on the stamp, was my Sweet Sugar Plum Ruched Ribbon (InColor from the 2016 collection.) Next, I paired it with Chocolate Chip. I could of easily picked Early Espresso but I felt that color was too dark. I am happy with my choice! To create the flower, I stamped the flower on Whisper White card stock and added the stem and leaves in Old Olive. Cut the flower and place it the Chocolate Chip Paper. I then added an extra flower and leaf to give some dimension. The oval framelits were a nice touch for the saying in the stamp set. The background stamp is also from the set! Isn’t it great! It is hard to see but I did add Wink of Stella to the flower that is popped up with dimensionals.
The Avant Garden stamp set, you can have for FREE with a $50 order! That’s right with the Sale-a-bration promotion, for every $50 you spend, you can pick from several items, one for FREE.
Staying with the Chocolate Chip as a layering piece, all the cards are unique and show all the stamps! I don’t have a favorite, I love just having a variety! Endless possibilities, one of the BEST things about Stampin’ Up!

I am so glad you are enjoying my website 🙂 Glad to have you following! Thank you for your comment!!!!
Can you tell me the name of the paper you used in between the two chocolate chip pieces?
Hi, I used the “spotty” stamp within the stamp set. It was a plain piece of whisper white stamped with chocolate chip.
Omg, those are beautiful cards! I’m so happy impressed by creative people!! What colors did you use on the green cards in the bottom left of the collage? Thank you for sharing. I will definitely CAS.
Hi – thank you for both your comments 🙂 on the bottom of the collage, I think you are referring to this post https://bonniestamped.com/2017/02/new-avant-garden-sale-a-bration-stamp-set/ I used old olive and yes I did cut out the top flower by hand. CASE away!!! <3
Also, did you cut the flower out by hand? I don’t see a die cut that matches this set.
Thank you!
yes I did – it’s not bad at all.
