So I have a story for you today....a frustrating almost unbelievable story....but with a very happy and creative ending.
I pre-ordered some of the new Sale-A-Bration items so that I could get them and make a few samples BEFORE they came available to customers.
My parcel arrived in Winnipeg on Thursday, February 27th. It was not delivered on Thursday, I got a notice from UPS in my email stating that it would be delivered on Friday. Great!
Friday, February 28th comes....no parcel! Frustrating!
Saturday, February 29th.....no delivery available!
Sunday, March 1st....no delivery was available!
A totally wasted weekend where I could have been cranking out samples! Geez!
Monday, March 2nd.....I got another notice from UPS in my email stating that it would be delivered Monday......no parcel!
Tuesday, March 3rd....I got yet another notice from UPS stating it would be delivered Tuesday.....no parcel!
Wednesday, March 4th.....You guessed it....another email notice from UPS stating it would be delivered Wednesday....
I FINALLY got my parcel Wednesday at 3 pm.......yep it sat in Winnipeg Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and I finally got it Wednesday.
Yah...isn't that great service? NOT!
Sat here in a UPS warehouse for SIX DAYS!!!! GRRRRRRR......
But now for the upside.....one of the items in the box was the new FLOWERING FOILS Specialty Designer Series Paper... OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This stuff is WONDERFUL!
So when I got home I had to make something.....here is what I came up with:
I was going to cut out one of the big floral images and these were along the side....which would typically be scrap as they were not full flowers....and I thought, wait a minute.....lets put them along the edge and use them!
I grabbed my ink blending brushes and added some Rococo Rose and some Mossy Meadow Ink. The berries were filled in with a Merry Merlot Marker.
Here is a close up of the flowers:
And a close up of the ribbon and bakers twine....the ribbon is the Merry Merlot/ Copper Reversible Ribbon and the baker's twine was colored with a Stampin Blend Mossy Meadow marker.
The Champagne Rhinestones were the perfect finish!
This gorgeous foiled paper does all the work for you.....and it is a Sale-A-Bration FREEBIE! Woo HOO!!!!!!
Here is a video so you can see this gorgeous paper close up:
