It’s that time again! What time? Time for another Tour de Freaks Blog Hop!
With Sale-a-bration in full swing, the Freaks decided to celebration Sale-a-bration! Are you ever in for a treat! The freaks REALLY know how to Sale-a-brate! If you are going forward through the hop you arrived here from Mindy Backes’ blog and her EXCELLENT projects!
I had REALLY wanted to use the Hello set but since that is now retired and I don’t have any of the ‘new’ items I decided to go with the Botanicals for You set. This is a fun set and I decided to keep the look simple but use a lot of cutting things out (my VERY FAVORITE thing to do) to give it that little extra!
This is such a FUN color challenge – Pear Pizzazz, Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay. I added in the Smoky slate and this was easy as can be!
Here’s the details –
- Pear Pizzazz – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
- Pear Pizzazz – 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, run through Butterfly Embossing folder, add to card front
- Bermuda Bay – 1/2 x 5 1/2, add to card front
- Whisper White – 3 x 5 1/2, stamp greeting using Smoky Slate
- Blackberry Bliss dotted (Farmers Market dsp) – 5/8 x 5 1/2, add behind Whisper White Panel and add to card front using dimensionals
- Stamp large flower/Bermuda Bay, medium flower/ Blackberry Bliss, leaves/Pear Pizzazz, cut everything out, layer ’em up and add to card front.
- Add Basic Rhinestones to center of each flower to finish

Okay…so I made a little bag to go with my card…
Here’s the details –

- Whisper White – 2 1/2 x 5 1/2, cut out bottom using Banner Framelit, stamp greeting using Smoky Slate
- Stamp flowers/leaves as describe above, cut out and add to tag
- Blackberry Dotted – 1 1/2 x 2, cut out with smaller Banner Framelit, add behind Whisper White banner, add to front of bag
- Punch holes in top and tie using Bermuda Bay Thick Twine.
- I didn’t on this but you could add Basic Rhinestones to match card
