Sale-a-Bration Starstruck Embossing Folder

Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration 2025 Starstruck embossing folder Valentine card ideas with Celebrate Love Mix & Match ephemera pack. Cards by Patty Bennett

As I mentioned during my live video… my eye sees this embossing folder more as flowers, but since the centers of the Starstruck embossing folder ARE stars.. .I guess the name is totally appropriate 🙂 This fun embossing folder is a free Sale-a-Bration gift with qualifying purchase, while supplies last this year!

I had fun embossing the Bloom Impressions paper with the Starstruck folder, then adding ink with a blending brush. I also paired the ephemera pieces from the Celebrate Love Mix & Match package, profiled on my video to create Love You and Valentine cards!

Sale-a-Bration Love you more than French Fries

Friendly Seagulls Stampin' UP! Sale-a-bration 2025 stamp set card idea for Valentine's Day for our son by Patty Bennett

Did you enjoy the story I shared during my live video on Friday? Feeding french fries to the seagulls holds a special (silly) place in my heart as something fun my son loves to do. So, you can see why “I love you more than fries” is the perfect Valentine card for him this year! My goal = make him smile. 🙂

The Friendly Seagulls stamp set is a FREE gift choice when you have a $60 or more order during Sale-a-Bration 2025. Watch the video for more details.

Friendly Seagulls Stampin' UP! Sale-a-bration 2025 stamp set card idea for Valentine's Day for our son by Patty Bennett

I built my focal point on a die cut tag. And I also embossed the background with the swirly folder after adding a little Azure Afternoon ink with a blending brush.

Watch the video for all the details, but as you can see above, you can use the Soft Waves or So Swirly embossing folder to create a wave look. I used the “back side” of the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions paper for the blue waves.

The Timber embossing folder is great for a woodgrain look. After embossing, I brushed a little Pecan Pie ink on them with a blending brush.

After stamping the seagulls with Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock, I colored them with Gray Granite, Smoky Slate and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends markers.
