The Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration promotion has started and something a little different this year is there are a few items in the back of the brochure that are only available for a limited time! Two stamp sets and a paper pack that will be available as a free choice through Feb. 15th. These are on pages 16-19 in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. They are the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper, Hello stamp set and Sky is the Limit stamp set. Today I’m going to share a few cards I’ve made with Sky is the Limit.
Choose $50 in product (before shipping and tax) and you can select this stamp set for free. The supplies used for this card would get you to that limit.
Here are a couple of other card ideas using this stamp set – it works as a Valentine, for birthdays, for graduations and congratulations on a new job or opportunity. It’s a nice masculine set.
For the birthday card I added the Sweet Lil’ Things washi tape, the small star punch, and the circle framelits. Colors are Baked Brown Sugar, Hello Honey and Pool Party.
On the congratulation card – I made this one for Tyler when he graduated college in December – I added Linen Thread and the Circle Framelits. Colors are Soft Suede with the Very Vanilla.
Be sure to order now while you can get this set before its gone. Just click on one of the products up above and it will take you to my online store.
I wanted to show you an idea with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Die. At the OnStage Local event in November the Make&Take that I showed was how to cut the new heart thinlit from Designer Series paper. So everyone had the opportunity to cut one out and then to stamp on it with the coordinating stamp set. We were able to use the Precision Base Plate and the new Big Shot Die brush. Our Make&Takes this time were just elements and not full cards or projects. I turned the heart into a full card and it ended up looking like this:
Here are some tips for you when using this new die – it is the most intricate and detailed thinlit that Stampin’ Up! has released so far and in order to have it come out nice you want to follow these tips.
You have to use the Precision Base Plate to get a clean cut instead of your bottom cutting pad
Pass the die through the Big Shot back and forth 2 times
While in the past SU has not recommend this when cutting something thin like Designer Paper or Vellum use the Magnetic Platform on the bottom of your sandwich instead of the Multi-purpose Platform. Just be careful that you don’t pinch your fingers!
Use the Big Shot Die brush and pad to remove all the pieces.
Here is a video from Stampin’ Up! –
Another tip I have for you is with the stamping. If you look at the stamp set the little flowers have tabs on them to help you line them up for two step stamping. What I decided to do was to create a template to help with stamping on the cut heart each time. I marked on a cut heart where the tabs from the stamps should be in order to line it up. Create your own template so you can use it as a guide each time you stamp.
The little flower dies also match up to the die cut heart. Notice there are 2 larger and 3 small flowers – use the cut or stamped flowers in those spaces. If you look carefully there are also cut out flowers within the heart that you can layer a cut flower underneath. There are 2 large ones and 2 small ones. I need to take a picture of that – apparently I don’t have one.
This bundle doesn’t have to be just for Valentine’s day either. Here I took the same layout for the card I made above and created a birthday and Mother’s Day card with this collection of products.
These were some of my displays at the OnStage event. The birthday card uses the little flower dies and the other card uses the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper.

The December Kit was a 2016 Calendar! It is so cute and the most popular kit yet. As soon as the refills were available for sale they sold out! If you are local to me and you want to make one of these cute calendars you are in luck – I have a limited number of kits available and will be having a little class this Sunday, January 10th to make them. See the information HERE and let me know if you want to come.
Once you are done with the month these would be perfect to add to a scrapbook – especially a Project Life Scrapbook. Each month could be the first card for that month’s pages.
With the left over pieces I had from my kit I decided to create a little note card by adding some Designer Paper. Here is how it turned out:
Here are the supplies that I added to the Paper Pumpkin One Great Year refill to create the notecard:
Don’t forget – order your prepaid subscription while it’s on sale. Update your account and join me for my class on Sunday if you missed this great 2016 Calendar in the December kit.
Let me introduce you to the new Love Blossoms Suite from the 2016 Occasions Catalog.
I actually had the opportunity to introduce this suite of products to about 400 demonstrators at the Tampa On Stage Local Event in November. I was on stage in front of everyone and extremely nervous – but I did it!
There are lights and cameras and screens and timers and so many different things to remember when you get on that stage including what in the world I was supposed to be saying! I introduced all the products that are included in the suite and showed how to cut out the new Bloomin’ Heart Thinlits Dies along with the new Big Shot Die Brush.
I made a few samples for a display board here are a couple of those:
I’ll share some more of the ideas and info from my presentation in another post – this one is getting long.
Thanks for stopping by and have fun drooling over that new Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration free items!
