Make the Most of Sale-A-Bration Part One - Level One FREE Picks

 

Hi Everyone,

This is my favorite time of year being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. It's Sale-A-Bration! For two months, you can earn FREE products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. There are so many wonderful things to choose from. One thing I always think about is how to maximize getting all these fantastic FREE products and purchase what makes the most sense, so I  can create stunning products? Well I've taken some time and have suggestions for each and every FREE product. 

Today's Post will go through the Level 1 Sale-A-Bration products. Level 1 products are FREE with a $50 purchase before shipping and tax (USA).

I'll be sharing through the brochure from the beginning. Watercolor Melon is the first Sale-A-Bration FREE pick. This set has 9 stamps and is a photopolymer set. Here are the products I would suggest you purchase to earn this free set.

• Modern Oval Punch (#162234) $22
• Filled with Happiness stamp set (#162915) $20
• Notecards and Envelopes (#159232)$8

This purchase is right at $50. Why these products? The Modern Oval Punch coordinates with the melons in the stamp set. You will want a sentiment stamp set, so the Filled with Happiness set is perfect. Stampin' Up! Notecards & Envelopes are a great buy! Only $8 and you get 20 Notecards with envelopes. 

I know I have the same picture showing, but now focus on the cute cards with clouds and DSP strips. This is the Sunny Days 6" x 6" DSP and it's FREE! Let's see how I coordinate this.

• Bright Sky's Bundle (#162794) $48.50
• Baker's Twine 3-Pack (#162759) $8

This is a quick idea and adds up to $56.50. The Bright Sky's Bundle is in the new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. It would work so well with the Sunny Days DSP and the springtime colors of the baker's Twine is perfect. 

If you like soft colors and nature, you will love the Flight and Airy 12" x 12" DSP! In this picture, the sweet birds on the samples are cut right form the DSP. You also see a Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon which is also a FREE pick. There are so many great bundles that work coordinate with the Flight and Airy 12" x 12" inch DSP. Here are some ideas.

• Everyday Details Bundle (#162865) $52
• Thoughtful Expressions Bundle (#162822) $55.75
• Timeless Arrangements Bundle (#161526) $54

Any of these bundles would work so well with the DSP and the Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon. Everyday Details and Thoughtful Expressions are in the New January-April 2024 Mini.

Did you notice the pretty cradle card above? This is the Cradeled in Love FREE stamp set. Since this pick is focused for babies, you might be interesed in the Just Kidding Suite (#162843) $74.50 in the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog as coordinating. Cute right?

Okay there are still more Level 1 FREE picks. Wow, can you believe it? Ready for the next idea? Let's talk about two more Designer Series Picks. First I'll share my coordinating ideas for ordering to earn the Softly Stipled 12" x 12" DSP.

• Stipled Roses Bundle (#162647) $54

That's an easy order for some beautiful project possiblilities. Now you may have noticed the Opaque Faceted Gems in the picture. These are also a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration FREE pick. Here are my suggestions to earn these FREE. They also coordinate well with the Softly Stipled DSP.

• Inspirational Sketches Stamp set (#162684) $25
• Package of Subtles Assorted Cardstock (#161706) $10
• Basic White Cardstock (#159276) $10
• Gold Faux Leather Trim (#162644) $9

This totals $54. I decided that getting an assortment of cardstock was needed since DSP and embellishments are the FREE picks. 

Those plaid hearts are super cute! I love hearts and the Most Adored 12" x 12" Specialty DSP is another Level 1 FREE pick. The metallics that run through the DSP is great. I have a great suggestion for this order.

• Adorning Hearts Bundle (#162570) $53

I was thinking that you might want to focus on the brayering techniques, so you might not want the bundle with the stamp set. Here is another idea.

• Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder (#162569) $39
• Stampin' Brayer (#162936) $16

There are so many creative techniques you can do with the new Brayer. It's a great tool and designed so well. I'll be offering a Brayer Technique class in March too. 

We have made it to the last two Level 1 Sale-A-Bration picks. One is a Stamp set and the other another DSP. Let's start with the Heartfel Hellos Stamp set.

• Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle (#162889) $39
• Any Specialty DSP $16

This totals $55. Wow, we have almost earned all the Level 1 Sale-A-Bration picks. there is just one more to highlight. It's the Trusty Tools 12" x 12" DSP. There isn't a lot to say. This was designed to coordinate with;

• Trusty Tools Bundle (#162723) $54.75

This bundle and DSP togther will make such fun projects. Stampin' Up! often designs DSP that can be die-cut with the dies from the bundle making quick cards.

I hope you have enjoyed my suggestions for what to purchase to coordinate with your FREE Level 1 Sale-A-Bration pick. Now there is one more Level 1 pick, but I'm saving that for my next blog post because it coordinates with a Level 2 FREE pick. What? I know right? 

I hope you join me next time to see what products I suggest for the Level 2 Sale-A-Bration picks. I would love for you to shop with me, so during the month of January, when you purchase a minimum $25 order (before shipping and tax) you earn double Café Coins. It's a Win/Win.

Happy Stampin',
