One more week of Sale-A-Bration

Did you know that the easiest way to qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration item is to order a 3-month Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscription?  It’s on sale for $55 and you get one Sale-A-Bration item for free – like the Metallic Glitter Tape that I used on this card.  And if you activate your code by April 10th then you’ll get the April Paper Pumpkin kit and guess what – it’s going to include a FREE bonus stamp set!!

Paper Pumpkin is celebrating its third birthday and ONE MILLIONTH KIT!  To celebrate and to thank all the subscribers a special gift will be included in the April box.  An exclusive stamp set call All About Everything!  So don’t miss it – make sure your Paper Pumpkin account is active by April the 10th – if you have questions just ask me.

Now here is today’s card – I combine the Pocketful of Cheer stamp set from the March 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit and added a few supplies including the Metallic Glitter Tape.

The glitter tape comes in a 3-pack that includes Gold, Silver and white.  And the white tape can be colored!  I used a sponge dauber and my Silicone craft sheet and colored mine with Bermuda Bay ink.

I added it to the front of a Whisper White note card.  Stamped a greeting (did you notice the Just for You is the same font as the Sale-A-Bration set Botanicals for You – just smaller!).  Used a couple of punches and stamped some flowers.  I thought it turned out adorable!!

Sale-A-Bration Countdown – 7 days

After today you’ll only have 7  more days to take advantage of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration offering.  One of the cutest stamp sets is the Honeycomb Happiness set.  It has an adorable little chick, and the balloon and ice cream cone in it.  I used it here for some little treats that I gave out at my Tin of Cards class back in January.

honeycomb-treat E

This idea came from Erica Cerwin.  It’s a little 2″ wide box that uses the Ornate Tag Topper punch to punch the flaps that cover the front.  The twine holds the box shut and the tag is stamped with the ice cream cone from the Honeycomb Happiness set.  I did some paper piecing by stamping the cone on the colored card stock too – and cutting it out to layer on the card.  The adorable Honeycomb embellishments are in the Occassions catalog (and so is the twine).

You need $50 in product to get this stamp set for free – here is a suggestion – the punch, the honeycomb embellishments, the Baker’s Twine, Sponge Daubers (those make the polka dots on the box), and 2 ink pads.

Here is the supply list:

Sale-A-Bration Countdown Continues – 8 days left

I’m continuing with countdown to the end of Sale-A-Bration.  Today I’m sharing with you a cute card using the Flowering Fields stamp set.  I think it is probably my favorite from this years Sale-A-Bration collection.  At least its been the one I’ve used the most.  And it coordinates with the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper I used in yesterdays project.  I love all the different flowers and being able to color them either with Stampin’ Write Markers or with an Aqua Painter like I did for this card.

flowering-fieldsE

Since the flowers are pretty delicate with not much coloring needed I was able to use just plain Whisper White card stock with my Aquapainter for the watercoloring.  I used both the Tangelo Twist and the Hello Honey on the flowers.

My Stamper’s Club made this card this month and everyone was able to choose the word they wanted to use.  The Expressions Natural Elements include three different 3D greetings – Congrats, Thanks and Celebrate.  These wood veneer words are really fun to use and I just put them on my card with glue dots.

Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too:

9 More Days of Sale-A-Bration

Can you believe it is almost the end of March?  There are only 9 more days left after today.  March and Sale-A-Bration are coming to a quick end.  Today’s project features two items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure – Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper and the Botanicals for You stamp set.

just-for-you-boxE

It’s an adorable box filled with a set of cards.  This will be one of the projects for my April Botanical Gardens class.

The Botanical Builder Framelits Dies are part of the Botanical Gardens bundle.  For this project I used the Wildflower Fields Designer paper for this project instead of the Botanical Gardens Designer paper.  The colors are Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Blackberry Bliss.  I love how it turned out.  And the little Botanical Garden Jewels are the cutest little things to add just a little bling to a project.

The Botanical Gardens Bundle is priced at $51.75 and earns you a free Sale-A-Bration item – the Botanicals for You stamp set would be perfect.  But that ends on March 31st so hurry!

Only 10 more days of Sale-A-Bration!

There are only 10 more days of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration promotion.  Don’t miss out on limited Time stamp sets, Designer Papers and even Glitter Tape!  For the next 10 days I’ll be featuring a different Sale-A-Bration item on my blog.  These items are available for FREE for each $50 product order that you place between now and March 31, 2016.

Today I have the Party Pants stamp set.  It’s a Limited Time set that came out in mid February as a supplement to the original Sale-A-Bration offering.  It coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet Punch from the Occasions Catalog.  Here is the cute card I made with it this weekend.

party-pantsE

I used a sponge dauber to color the dots that were embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.

The balloons were stamped with Hello Honey – some are full strength and some are stamped off. I added the little confetti stamp on each balloon.  You can’t really see it on the photo but I did put a little clear Wink of Stella on each of those dots.  The balloons are tied with Linen Thread and floating through the clouds!

You need to spend $50 in product to get the Party Pants stamp set for free – for this card here is one idea – order the two punches, the embossing folder, sponge daubers, and Linen Thread – that’s $53 and you can choose the Party Pants stamp set as your freebie.

Here are all the supplies:

Pedal Pusher meets the In-Colors

Have you seen the new Sale-A-Bration products that were released in February?  My favorite one is the Pedal Pusher stamp set.  An adorable tandem bicycle with accessories to dress it up.  Add a basket and fill it with flowers, bread & wine, or hearts.  Add a flag and some cute little birds.  Plus it has several cute little greetings with it.  Here is a quick card that I created with it showing off the 2014-2016 In Colors which will soon be retiring!

pedal-pusherE

The card base is Hello Honey and I die cut a large white circle with my Circle Collection Framelits.  I stamped the bicycle on the circle, added the basket and some flowers and colored those in with the 2014-2016 Stampin’ Write Markers.

I used the 2014-2016 Washi Tape to add two strips across the bottom of the circle and stamped my greeting on a strip of Whisper White card stock – flag the ends with the little banner punch and add to the card with some dimensionals.  I finished the card with some Linen Thread.

I want to remind everyone that you need to go ahead and order your ink refills for the 2014-2016 Stampin’ Up! In-colors.  Also card stock, markers and any of the other coordinating products before they sell out.  They will soon be retiring and  these items tend to sell out quickly!  My favorites are Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon.
