18Send a little friendly happiness to those around you. This is a unique card. Although it was created with card stock and Framelits, it was not created with a stamp set or ink. The beauty of this card is how switfly it comes together. When you can simply add the elements together, you get a neat look with no fuss. The enamel dot above the “i” is my favorite accent.

I love a nice cup of tea on a chilly Saturday morning. I always know it’s tea time when I need to recharge my battery in the winter. So I was immediately drawn to the Tea Time Framelits dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. They are the coordinating dies to the Tea Together stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. It’s certainly a great thing to be able to earn the framelits during Sale-a-Bration. Below is a video from Stampin’ Up! featuring these framelits and how we can use them.
Be sure to pick up your items before Sale-a-Bration is over.
You can visit my online store here and pick up the framelits with a qualifying order. Sale-a-Bration ends on March 31st.
