Open House Sausage Sizzle Cards

Hi everyone

Have been meaning to post these cards here for the last couple of months so here they are at last. Back in January I held a sausage sizzle (meant to be snagger - aussie slang for a sausage - in wrapped in a slice of bread but it ended up a bit bigger than that!) open house to launch saleabration and the summer mini and as usual I do two cards for my lovely customers to make.

The first one was using the For Father Stamp Set from the Summer Mini and I have embossed the image (and also the greeting) before only colouring in certain parts of the image - basically spotlighting!

Anyway here is what I have used is:

CARD : Basic Gray, Black, Watercolour Paper and Gable Green & Green Galore Textured Card

STAMP SETS : For Father and Weathered/Antique Cracking Background Stamp

INKS : Going Gray, Versamark and Basic Black

ACCESSORIES : Clear EP, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Watercolour Crayons - colours and neutrals, aqua painters and stampin dimensionals.

For the Saleabration card, I used the Botanical Blooms and Yummy stamp sets. You'll see that the face of the card is not a full face - it is only roughly two thirds. One tip to keep in mind is scallop edge punch the back side of the card before folding over the face card, as this will make it easier to place the choc chip card on the back to enable you to get a full size card.

Here is what you'll need:
STAMP SETS : Botanical Blooms and Yummy SAB sets

CARD : Kraft, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate and Pumpkin Pie.

INKS : Sahara Sanda, Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and Old Olive.

ACCESSORIES : Scallop Edge Punch and Sponges.

Take care
