Jan 11, 2017 | 2017 Occasions Catalog, Birthday, Sale-A-Bration 2017, Thinlits |
It’s time to get carried away with all the cute items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. And one of those is the Carried Away Designer Series Paper!
It coordinates perfectly with the Life Me Up Bundle in the Occasions Catalog. I used those plus the Designer Tee Stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration brochure to make this fun swap card.
- I stamped the little clouds from the Lift Me Up stamp set on the Watermelon Wonder card base.
- Next I added a piece of the Carried Away Designer Paper.
- I stamped Happy Birthday from the Designer Tee stamp set in Night of Navy on a strip of Whisper White card stock and added that across the front.
- Tied a piece of Night of Navy Baker’s Twine around the front of my card.
- Die cut the large hot air balloon from the Up & Away Thinlits dies from Night of Navy card stock and used little bits of dimensionals to add that to the front.
This is what it looked like with all my pieces as I was making a stack of these.
I love how it turned out. You can order the Lift Me Up Bundle and save 10% (the wood bundle is over $50 or add a little to the clear bundle) and get the Carried Away Designer Paper for Free during Sale-A-Bration. Shop Now in my Online Store here.
Our snow and ice has finally melted (mostly) and everything should be returning back to normal now. The schools around here have been closed the past two days because travel was hazardous around here – think ice!
Thanks for visiting!

Hey, Chick – did you hear that Sale-a-Bration has started?
Which came first the Chicken or the egg? In my case I think it was the egg – the Occasions catalog has some fun new mini egg cartons which I have here in my craft room. Now I just need time to play with them. Then there is the Hey, Chick stamp set. I keep thinking I ordered it but then I can’t find it. So I finally sat down and went through my orders yesterday and Yes I really did order it (demos get to pre-order in December). And then I had to go on a hunt to find it – it was like hunting for eggs – ha ha! Finally I found it!
This fun stamp set is one of the FREE items you can choose during Sale-A-Bration. Spend $50 in product and select this as your freebie.
| Read what our illustrator, Lori Sume, has to say about her inspiration for the Hey, Chick stamp set: |
| When I was a child growing up in Canada, I remember some family friends who had little chickens that I thought were so cute. A couple of summers ago here in Utah, I stopped at a friend’s ranch and saw all their cute animals including their chickens. They had typical chickens but also another kind called Polish Frizzle Bantam White Chickens. I think they are so funny with all those feathers flopping around on the top of their heads and how they like to stare straight at you and cock their heads. |
| So when I was assigned to create the Hey, Chick Stamp Set, I was so excited. I wanted to exaggerate the rounder chickens and really make them round, and I also really wanted to draw one of those funny chickens I saw at my friend’s ranch. It was a really fun set to create. |
