Julie's Creative Stamping: Bling Bling! Happy Birthday with Shaded Summer by Stampin UP®

If you like bling you are going to love this card! This was a fun card to create! I brought in a couple of Sale A Bration products from the August - September 2021 catalog!

If you have never heard of Sale A Bration it is a special that Stampin Up® runs where you can receive free products called Sale A Bration items when you make a minimum purchase of $50. Unfortunately they are only offered for a limited time and only while supplies last so if you read this blog after September 30th some of the products that I used will not longer be available.

Don't forget if you'd like to see more of my card designs add you email to the right under the "Follow Me" section and you will be notified each time I add a new card!

I'd love to hear from you so if you like this card consider leaving me a comment below!
