All Adorned Best Ever Linked Border Cards

Hi Stamping Friends,

I wasn't sure whether I would like the All Adorned Sale-a-Bration 2nd Release stamp set because, truthfully, the images by themselves seemed a little underwhelming. But once you layer them…WOW! It's definitely one of those stamp sets that you have to play with to fully appreciate!

Designed with the Stamparatus in mind, these intricate photopolymer images layer beautifully and visually link together to create lovely borders and backgrounds! I enjoyed creating today's cards so much and can't wait to try the images in even more color combinations! I created this card design for my Too Cool Team make & takes last week and was surprised at how quickly everyone stamped this seemingly complicated pattern. Stampin' Up! makes it easy, once again!

All Adorned Best Ever Linked Border Cards

The intricate geometric images in the All Adorned Sale-a-Bration stamp set layer to create marvelous medallions! I had some fun playing with different color combinations on this linked border layout.

Background Basics—This card begins with a 4-1/4" x 2" strip of Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper mounted onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base. You can earn the DSP as part of the Painted Seasons Sale-a-Bration Bundle when you place a $100 order through March 31.

Medallion Layers—I stamped the All Adorned layered border onto a 2" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock. It helps to stamp the three images in a certain order:

Start by stamping the largest image in the center of the strip in Bermuda Bay ink.
Stamp the medium round design over the top in Balmy Blue, lining up the 4 dots inside the 4 circles of the previous stamped image.
Stamp the small linking circle in Lemon Lime Twist on the top and bottom of the medallion.
Repeat stamping the large and small medallion layers on the top of the strip and bottom of the strip.

Awesome Accents—I colored three large Rhinestone Jewels with the Dark Granny Apply Green Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the centers of the medallions for some sparkle.

Sparkly Sentiment—I stamped the All Adorned sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink onto Balmy Blue cardstock, then punched it out with the new Story Label Punch that will be available for a limited time in March. Check out the sparkle on the word "best." I brushed on some Wink of Stella to draw attention to that word and create some balance with the jewels. I love this subtle shimmer! The sentiment is popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Two Cool—I couldn't wait to try out different color combinations for this card! This time, I used a Poppy Parade pattern from the Painted Seasons DSP and mounted it onto a Petal Pink card base.

Pretty Border—This border begins with a Poppy Parade large design, Mango Melody medium design and Petal Pink small linking circle. The jewels were colored with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends.

Sparkly Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade onto a Mango Melody Story Label shape and added that Wink of Stella shimmer.

Three Cool—Ready for one more? This time I paired the Pool Party pattern from Painted Seasons DSP with a Soft Sea Foam card base.

Lovely Layers—I stamped the large image in Highland Heather, the medium shape in Pool Party and the small circle link in Soft Sea Foam. I added colored Rhinestones altered with Dark Highland Heather and Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Markers.

Sweet Sentiment—This last one has a Highland Heather sentiment stamped onto a Pool Party label.

I demonstrated how to stamp and assemble this card during my 2nd Release Sale-a-Bration sneak peek Facebook LIVE video. Here it is in case you missed it!
