I have THREE cards for you today and three cheers for Sale-A-Bration! I sat down to play with my free sets from Sale-A-Bration and it was so much fun remembering how easy it is to make a cute and fun card. In light of keeping things quick and simple, my post will do the same.
Enjoy seeing these whimsical cards that are flat and easy to mail to someone you love. I love the bright and happy colors of the Ice Cream Parlor Designer Series Paper & Quick Accents Pack, and it is featured on every card. Here you go!

After I took my photo, I went back and added some color for his nose and popped up another layer for his eyes. The Owl Punch and the branch and border strip from the Quick Accents made making this card a cinch!
The next card used the same layout but what a difference a change of colors and images makes.

TWO new uses for our products here. I hand-cut a triangle for the cone and added texture with the Square Lattice embossing folder and the Big Shot. Square lattice = waffle cone, isn't that fun? The best part is the scoops of ice cream with a cherry on top using the Cupcake Punch! This is not my original idea, just my take on things I've seen on the net.
The next card uses a new technique that has many names, I like "pressed flowers". You may want to click on the photo to see the larger version and details.

The technique involves cutting out an image, flowers or whatever - and adhering it to your card stock. In my case, I adhered it to a patterned paper from the Ice Cream Parlor pack, you can see the subtle pattern of flowers down the left side that is from the paper. Run it through the Square Lattice folder, and your image presses into the paper meshing into one subtle design with fabulous texture.
Beginning by stamping the stem and leaves in Always Artichoke craft ink, I next adhered flowers from the Accent Pack. So easy! After embossing, I added another flower and border strip from the pack for more definition. This is definitely a fun and easy technique!
