Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop!

Greetings, stamping enthusiasts!  Thank you so much for joining the Stampin' Addicts Sale-A-Bration blog tour, where 21 creative, talented people each showcase a different item from the new Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration Catalog.  The hop should be fully linked by noon Eastern time Saturday, and runs until midnight Monday, so tell all your friends!

What is Sale-A-Bration, you ask?  Only the biggest, bestest Stampin' Up! event of the year, where you can get fabulous freebies (with a qualifying purchase)!

I am number 8 on the tour, and if you've been following in order, you just arrived from Marie's blog, From Boots to Stamps, where she showcased Whimsical Words.  Don't you just love her creations? I love what she made for her daughter!!!

For my projects, I'll be showing you a few things you can do with the uber cool Scallop Trim Border Punch.  First up is a card, perfect for showing a friend how much you appreciate them. I layered the Scallop Trim Border on the side, and used it at the bottom of the mat under the image, as well.  Simple and easy-peasy.

For my second project, I just had to use the adorable Sweetheart Treat Cups.  I think the lacy border is just right for this little confection of a card!  You'll note the corners are punched, too.  There's a matching Scallop Trim Corner Punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog! A little slider window behind the candy makes for easy access without destroying the card. ;-)

The final project is a little votive candle holder.  What a great way to set a romantic mood for you and your honey, and it was quick and easy to make!  (Note: Use battery powered LED flicker lights to reduce fire danger.)  CLICK HERE FOR TUTORIAL

Next stop on the hop, is the lovely and talented Holly, of InkPaperStamps.  If her dog hasn't eaten her one of projects (it happened last hop!), she'll be showing you her creations using Bella's Bloom.  The cottage is to die for!

Thanks again for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed your stop here, and continue to be inspired by the other stops along the way.  Card ingredients are listed below.
