It’s a Sale-a bration!  I’m soooo excited…Sale-a-bration (SAB) starts on TUESDAY and I always LOVE getting FREE STUFF!  So when I saw The Paper Players challenge today was to do a CAS (clean and simple) card using a tag, I just KNEW my Sprinkled Expressions set was FINALLY going to see a little ink!

Now I will have to admit that Fresh Vintage (and that whole collection) is my VERY FAVORITE of the SAB catalog.  I like the other stuff but LOVE that set…probably because it has EVERYTHING…stamp, dsp and embellishment.  But I love the fun, fresh look of the Sprinkled Expression and just new it would be perfect for a tag card.

The base of the card is Whisper White.  I took another piece of Whisper White and ran it through the Polka Dotted Embossing Folder and added to the card front using dimensionals.  I took a piece of the Big Top Birthday dsp, rounded one corner and added to the card front.  Next I took a piece of Real Red red and snipped off the top corners to make it a tag.  I stamped the star using Versamark and embossed with Whisper White Embossing Powder.  I took a 3/4” Whisper White circle, folded in half, added to the top, punched a 3/8” hole in it and then added a Tempting Turquoise 1/4” Grosgrain Ribbon.  I stamped just the words of the ‘matching’ word stamp using Versamark and White Embossed on Tempting Turquoise.  I cut the left side into a ‘banner’ and added to the Real Red tag using a white neutral brad.  I added the tag to the card front using dimensionals.  To add just a little extra…I added a couple of Basic Rhinestones.
