Sky is the Limit - Sale-a-bration card

Oh My Goodness. . . . .it has been WAY too long since I have posted to my blog.    It's not that I haven't been creating projects, just seems like I have no time to do anything else.    Working pretty much fulltime in the schools, kids, and life in general have taken over.    Still trying to find a way to organize my "life". . . .  LOL. 

Anyway, our most favorite time of year is here!!!   SALE-A-BRATIONS!!!    For every $50 in product (prior to s/h and tax) you spend you get something for FREE!!!  Who doesn't love FREE stuff?!?!?     

My favorite stamp set in the Sale-a-bration (SAB) catalog is by far the Sky is the Limit stamp set.   Unfortunately you only have until February 15th to earn it.   I made the card below for my January classes and they LOVED it!   I hope you like it as well.

Hello everyone!   Long time no posting right. . . . . having the three kids at home during the summer definitely takes up a lot of my "free" time for Stampin Fun!   Luckily I am having classes this month and wanted to share one of my projects with you.

Open Sea Masking Card

Almost forgot to post my last sample for my upcoming classes.   This is a modified case card from Pinterest (sorry forgot who made the original).    This card is very simple to make but just LOVE the final product.  I added a crumb cake card base where the original used Very Vanilla.   

Masking doesn't always have to be used with a stamp and/or image.   You can mask over a portion of your cardstock and sponge/stamp inside or around the masked area.  Don't you love this technique?  

I think my Stampin Ladies will really enjoy making this card.   I typically do not make two masculine cards in one class, but I just HAD to make this card.  Are you as excited as I am that The Open Sea stamp set is not retiring?!?!?  :)  They will have a choice of making it Father's Day, Birthday or Thank you card.   Another reason I like this card, very easy to change the occasion.  

Hope you enjoy my project!
