Welcome… we have a swketch challenge today… and I have chosen to work with some new OINE EXCLUSIVE and Sale-a-bration products for this card.

Notice how the rectangles go from light to dark – and that’s what I tried to do with this new Bloom Impressions 12×12 DSP from the 2025 Sale-a-bration catalog. It goes live Jan 7, 2025.

The stamped images are from the new ONLINE EXCLUSIVE Mixed Labels stamp set. (it’s also a bundle – meaning it has accompanying dies, but I did not use them here) I used Melon Mambo ink. The sequins are also a Sale-a-bration product and are Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins. (this packet has four shades of purple – these look more pink to me and I thought they went well with the DSP) The baker’s twine is from the 2024-2025 Annual catalog and is Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack.

The rectangles are all 3 7/8 x 1 1/4 and adhered to the Basic White panel (4 x 5 1/4). I wrapped the twine around the panel twice and tied a bow, securing it with a glue dot, then attached the panel with dimensionals to the Melon Mambo card base (4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2).

On the inside, I stamped this cute floral image and the ‘thank you’ in Melon Mambo ink on the Basic White panel – both from the Mixed Labels stamp set – and the card was complete. Oh my goodness, so simple. I kept wanting to add ide cuts to the front but was reluctant… wanted to follow the sketch challenge. :O}
