Make the Most of Sale-A-Bration - My Tips and Tricks

 


Hi Everyone,

It's time to Sale-A-Brate, Come on! I always think of that great song everytime Stampin' Up! has a Sale-A-Bration Promotion. 

Today begins the start of the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration. I know it can be overwhelming with all the new products and FREE products, so I'm here to share suggestions on how to make the most of Sale-A-Bration. 



This Level 1 (minimum $50 order), Island Vibes Stamp set has 3 wonderful stamps and no sentiments. The card I made today uses the Special Moments Level 2 (minimum $100) Stamp set. I would suggest that you purchase the Timeless Tropical Stamp set and the In the Tropics coordinating dies. These 2 items are just a bit over $50 and would qualify you to get the Island Vibes Stamp set FREE. It would be a great addition to the Timeless Tropical Stamp set, which has many sayings. 


Let's continue on with some other Level 1 FREE picks. There are some wonderful designer series paper and the Daffodil Afternoon 12" x 12" DSP is stunning! This designer series paper is so bold and the other side of the paper has great patterns and more soft tones to make mixing and matching of the papers so easy!


In the January-June 2022 Mini catalog, I would suggest you purchase the Daffodil Daydream Bundle for perfect coordination. This is a great bundle with daffodil building dies for eye catching projects. The purchase of the Daffodil Daydream Bundle qualifies you for a FREE Level 1 pick and the Daffodil Afternoon DSP is the perfect pick!


One of my favorite Level 1 Sale-A-Bration picks is the Sunshine and Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Series paper. It is such a bright and happy feeling with this paper. 


Once you see this DSP, you will not hesitate to know what you need to buy. The Rainbow of Happiness Bundle in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog is the best! This is a $44.00 bundle, so you will want to order the Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment to get you over the $50 needed for the FREE Sunshine and Rainbows DSP. There is also the Cloud Punch that you need to get to have with the bundle. The Cloud Punch is an $18 item, so you don't have to get the Sequins assortment, but why not right?


The next few Level 1 FREE Sale-A-Bration items were created to be colored. If you like coloring, you will love these stamp sets. The sets are, Catching Butterflies, Driving By, and Awesome Otters. The stamped images in these sets are perfect for cxoloring. See pages 128-129 in the Annual Catalog for a complete line of coloring tools. To make a $50 purchase for any of these three Sale-A-Bration sets, I would suggest the following:
  • Assorted package of Cardstock $9.00
  • Stampin' Write Marker Assortment $30.00
  • Stazon Black Ink Pad $10.00
  • Stazon Black Ink Refill $7.00
This brings you over $50 to choose anyone of the 3 Level 1 stamp sets designed for coloring. I would also suggest a package of Shimmery white or Basic White Cardstock.


The Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" DSP is a Level 1 FREE pick too

Let's move on to the Level 2 Sale-A-Bration picks. There are two level 2 options, and I have suggestions for both.

The Special Sentiments Level 2 FREE pick was used on my card today. This set has so many wonderful sentiments with varying fonts and sizes. It will be the one sentiment set you will want in your stamping supplies. I always seem to be looking for that perfect sentiment and sometimes the set I'm using or other sets just don't have the right one for that moment. This is where Special Sentiments comes in. 



On page 39 of the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, there is a set called Oceanfront. It's a $22 stamp set. It has wonderful stamps to build beachy scenes. I would suggest you purcase this stamp set and then purchase the On the Horizon Bundle which is $50.25. This is a perfect complement to the Oceanfront Stamp set. I would also suggest the Tailored Tag Punch $18. This leaves $10 more dollars to spend, so I would pick out a package of Shimmery White Cardstock $10. This cardstock would be so beautiful with the oceanfront scenes. Wow these are wonderful products to qualify for the Level 2 Special Sentiments. 


The Friendly Hello Stamp set and 12" x 12" Designer Series paper is the next Level 2 Sale-A-Bration offering. This is a great Level 2 choice with the stamp set and coordinating DSP. Coloring tools would be great for this pick, but I have some other suggestions on some stamping staples you should have in your crafting space.
  • Stitched So Sweetly Dies 
  • Layering Circle Dies 
  • Double Oval Punch 
  • Everyday Label Punch
  • Heart Punch Pack
  • Banners Pick a Punch 

I hope you love all the wonderful FREE options there are during Sale-A-Bration. Remember it only lasts through February 28th.

Create a New Year's Tea or Chocolate Pouch with Symbols of Fortune Suite

 


Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year's Eve! Today is the perfect time to wish your friends and family much luck and good fortune. I've created a wonderful little tea gift to wish my friends and family just that.


The pouches I've created use the Symbols of Fortune Suite products that become available on January 4th. I've focused mostly on the beautiful Symbols of Fortune 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper.


Other projecrs in the suite include the Mother of Pearl Paper (just stunning) and the Soft Succulent Satin Ribbon (just beautiful)!


To make this pouch, you simply need:
  • A piece of 4" x 9 1/2" designer series paper or cardstock
  • Score at 3 1/4" and 6 1/2"
  • With the shortest panel, cut from the top corner of the fold to the opposite bottom corner. Be sure to have the inside of your paper facing up. Be sure to watch my video if you are unsure.


  • Use a bit of Tear & Tape at the corner to secure the flap down
  • Cut the ribbon to 18" or so
  • Secure the ribbon to the back of the panels
  • Tie a bow to close the pouch
My video shows the steps for this tea pouch if you need help.



I hope you enjoyed my project today. Remember that the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog comes live on January 4th for customers. Sale-A-Bration also begins, so get ready to earn FREE products.

Stamp Set Spotlight with More Love and Sweet Conversations



Hi Everyone,
Thanks for stopping in today. I'm sure you are feeling the rush of last minute gifts. I know I am. Today it' all about love. I wanted to share a wonderful new stamp coming in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog by Stampin' Up!


This is a large stamp that is beautifully scripted! I love the floral accents too. Today I decided to do a bit of a watercolor wash and have bold colors to have it all pop. The designer series paper is also upcoming. It is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration FREE item with a minimum $50 order beginning January 4th. It is called Daffodil Dreams. You will love the large bold florals and soft patterns on the back sides.


Because the More Love Stamp is a Ala Carte stamp, I paired the Sweet Conversations Stamp set for the inside sentiment. I love the shading of the different hearts in this set. 


Thanks for stopping in. Leave a comment and let me know if I can help you in your crafting journey. You can see this card in action in my video.



The January-June 2022 Mini Catalog becomes live on January 4th. It is filled with wonderful new products and you can earn FREE Sale-A-Bration items during January and February. So many stamping possibilities!
