Today's card demonstrates how you can use your Free Sale A Bration Stamp Set to create a beautiful Mothers Day card that can be made quick and easily for all ages .... my 4 year old granddaughter can stamp something like this with little assistance, although I trim all the cardstock to size, she chooses the stamps, inks and cardstock, as well as the placement.
So if my granddaughter can do it, so can you. Card Making can be as simple or as complex as you want it to by, but whatever your skill, the recipient of your card will be touched that you have gone to all the effort.
Anyhow, I digress! Today I have used the Free & Exclusive Sale A Bration Stamp Set
FLOWERING FIELDS &
I have coupled it with the Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set, and the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.
So should you need to purchase the stamp sets, cardstock, ink pads and embellishments, the chances are you have already spent the £45 you need to qualify for this (or any of the Free Sale A Bration Products). Sale A Bration is a great time to stock up on your supplies, stamp sets etc, because you continue to qualify for further free SAB products for every £45 spend in the same order!
If you are putting in an order of £99 or more, perhaps you should join the ranks of Stampin Up! Demonstrators since your starter kit costs £99 and during SAB you get £160. of products of your choosing (except the business pack) .... there are so many 'Hobby' Demonstrators taking advantage of the generous discount you get on your craft supplies, AND you only need to get your supplies from one place, with a few exceptions. On top of that, you become part of an amazing 'Family', networking with fellow demonstrators worldwide and sharing ideas, tips and techniques

Tutorial
1. Trim a piece of
Thicker Whisper Cardstock to 21 cms x 14.8 cms; score the long side at 10.5 cms; fold & burnish
2. Trim a Piece of Perfect Plum Cardstock to 14.4 cms x 10.1 cms
3. Trim a piece of regular Whisper White Cardstock to 14 cms x 9.7 cms
Select 3 of the Floral Stamps from the Flowering Fields Stamp Set, ensuring they are of differing heights. Stamp each flower using a different Regals Classic Ink Pad for each stamp (I used Always Artichoke,Crushed Curry & Elegant Eggplant) - stamp each one 3 times without re-inking the stamps (i.e. 1st to 3rd generation stamping technique)
4. Stamp the Sunburst Stamp from the Kinda Eclectic Stamp Set in one of the top corners, stamping off the page (so you only get a partial image on the card)
5. Mat (layer) the stamped cardstock onto the Perfect Plum cardstock you trimmed earlier
6. Trim a piece of Perfect Plumb Cardstock to 14 cms x 2 cms and adhere to the stamped panel at the bottom of the cardstock
7. Trim a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 1.5 cm wide, stamp this with your sentiment of choice from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set using Basic Black Classic Ink Pad; create banner ends by feeding the cardstock in through the top of the punch, and guide it between the cutting plates, and punch. Rotate by 180 degrees and repeat with the other end. Apply Stampin dimensionals to the back of the label and mount onto the perfect p;um strip of cardstock.
8. Finish by adding some sparkle with a few Basic Rhinestones & mount onto your card front
