Final Week of Sale-A-Bration!

Well, all good things must come to an end, and Sale-A-Bration is one of them. *sniff* There is only one week left of this promotion and to entice you Stampin' Up! is making a few products from the catalog available as SAB rewards.

One of the new additions is the Shimmer Detailed Laser-cut Specialty DSP. It makes card-making so quick and easy!

Since many of us are stuck at home now, this is the ideal time to build up a stash of ready-to-send cards, or just send them right out to brighten someone's day! I plan to send a ton of happy mail, and I thought the greeting from the Tags In Bloom stamp set (another SAB item) was perfect to use for this purpose. On the inside I will write "from a safe distance, of course!"

After trimming the piece from the specialty DSP, I adhered it to a piece of Perennial Essence DSP. Before adhering it to the card base, I added a strip of Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon so it would peek out the side. Then the greeting was stamped (Mossy Meadow) on a Very Vanilla scrap and punched with the Label Me Fancy Punch, and popped up on dimensionals.

Sale-A-Bration 2nd Release

Can you believe there are only three weeks left of Sale-A-Bration? It sure flew by, didn't it? In addition to the initial items in the flyer, there were new products released last week, and I wanted to showcase a couple of them here.

The Tags In Bloom Sale-A-Bration stamp set coordinates with the Label Me Fancy and Label Me Lovely punches found on page 41 of the mini catalog. It is so easy to make a quick card with these photopolymer stamps - just stamp the outline, use the filler stamp (or markers) to color, and punch it out with the punch. The floral background label has to be fussy cut, of course, otherwise you'd be chopping off the blossoms and leaves.

I paired the stamps with the enchanting So Very Vellum that is also part of the second release. And, I couldn't resist using the annual catalog pre-release Ornate Layers dies... oh, my heavens, they are so lovely! And since I used Highland Heather for the flowers, I added some Highland Heather Gingham Gala adhesive-backed sequins, too!

The Stamp Review Crew - Sale-A-Bration!

Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew's Sale-A-Bration edition! The "Crew" is made up of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who pick a stamp set or bundle to highlight on the first and third Mondays of each month, with a bonus hop if there is a fifth Monday. If you landed here from Linda Callahan's blog, Stampin' Seasons, welcome! There are eleven of us today, and I can't wait to see what everyone chose to highlight!

My choice is something coming in a couple weeks - the Sale-A-Bration Second Release! I really like the Tags in Bloom photopolymer stamp set, and positively adore the new specialty DSP, so that's my share today. This is the stamp set...

And here is the first card made with it. The floral tag was stamped in black, with Lovely Lipstick as the filler stamp for the blooms and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

Soft Sea Foam So Very Vellum is the background, with Pear Pizzazz DSP as the mat behind the image. I did fussy cut the floral tag and single blossom, but the stitched tag was punched with the Label Me Lovely punch. Another bit of Sale-A-Bration product is the So Saffron metallic baker's twine, part of the first SAB offering.

The next card uses a greeting from Tags in Bloom, and both specialty DSPs! The Pool Party vellum is the background on this card, and I must say, this vellum is fabulous - you can't see the adhesive! No more trying to hide glue dots behind embellishments, LOL!

I used sponge daubers to add Bermuda Bay and Mossy Meadow to the Flowering Foils DSP, then fussy cut and popped the blossoms up on dimensionals. The greeting was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die, and some sequins from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins were added to complete the card.

Up next is Kelly Kent at My Papercraft Journey. I can't wait to see what she made!
