See Ya Later SAB

 Well today is the last day of another successful Stampin Up Sale-a-bration.  You have until midnight Mountain Time to place an order to receive the free SAB items.  I thought I would say goodbye to SAB with today’s card featuring mostly SAB items.  For the swampy effect, I used the Gorgeous Grunge #130517 to stamp the background of this card using monochromatic color-pool party ink on pool party cardstock.  I added a strip of sweet sorbet DSP #133521  (free SAB item) to create a “lily pad”  I then created the alligator using the Petite Pennants Builder #122362 punch for the head, the teeth were cut using the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die #120893 and the eyelids were punched using the Owl Builder #118074 punch.  For the body I used the Chalk Talk #129983 and stamped the See Ya Later #133533 (Free SAB Item) and then textured the head and body with the Decorative Dots #133520 (Free SAB item) to give it the alligator feel.  I got really creative by wrapping the DSP around the back of the card and added his tail punched from  Petite Pennants Builder punch. I think this made for a cute surprise and a fond farewell for the  Stampin Up Sale-a-Bration.  See ya later!

Many Mustache Birthday

 Cammie was clowning around with the many mustache stamp #122917 and created a darling and simple birthday card.  The mustache is embossed and the clown hat is made using the Petite Pennants builder punch #122361 and the coordinating pennant parade stamp set #122742.  Oh and a happy 50th birthday to my dear friend Lisa!
