Hello! 

This is it. It's the last day of SALE-A-BRATION! I can't believe it's over 🙁 but as they say, all good things must come to an end! So make sure you get your orders placed by end of today to get your Sale-A-Bration freebies!

Today's card is fun and super easy Faux Dry technique and actually doesn't use any stamps! 

How To Make It:

1.    Take Real Red card stock and punch out 7 large stars and 7 small stars with the Medium Star and Itty Bitty Star punch. 
2.    Run remaining Real Red through Big Shot using the Mini Thinlit Bag die – ‘For You’ sentiment. Repeat this step so you have 2 ‘For you’ sentiments. 
3.    Adhere these 2 ‘For You’ sentiments on top of each other using the 2-Way Glue Pen. Then adhere the sentiment onto the Real Red card front in the bottom right hand side. 
4.    Adhere all the Real Red stars onto the Real Red card front using 2-Way Glue Pen. Adhere stars in a random order. Some stars will overlap the edge of the card front. Trim any overhanging stars. 
5.    Adhere Real Red card front onto the Whisper White Card Stock. 
6.    Adhere the Real Red & Whisper White layers to another Real Red mat layer.  Then place a good covering of Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this now 3 layered card front and mount on the Real Red card base.
