  • Sale-a-Bration KickOff Cards–Sweet Sorbet, Banners, & More

    You may have noticed that earlier this week, was the start of Stampin’ Up’s big spring promotion – Sale-a-Bration.  It is a really fun promotion that basically gets you free stuff no matter what you do!  You can

    So yeah, basically everyone wins!

    Anyway, I always like to throw a party when a new catalog comes out and at the beginning of Sale-a-bration.  It is a great excuse to hang out with friends, share samples I go at recent events, let everyone see and try out a TON of new products from the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, and STAMP!  (what kind of party would it be if there was no stamping? Winking smile )

    Wanna see what we made?  Here you go!

    This was the first card we made and inspired loosely by a card I saw from a German demonstrator named Ines.

    I’ll admit, when I saw Petal Parade in the Sale-a-bration catalog it looked a little boring to me, but let me just say I have been having a blast playing with it and think it may be my favorite stamp set from SAB!  Plus, got to add in that little detail with the cork and the twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessories bundle.

    Stampin’ Up Supplies Used
    Stamps – Petal Parade (SAB), Perfect Pennants
    Ink – Summer Starfruit, Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Canteloupe
    Paper – Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party
    Accessories – Sweet Sorbet Accessories – Crisp Canteloupe twine & cork stickers (SAB)

    I also really wanted to use the Banner Blast stamp set and Banner punch and so we made this card:

    This card is a more direct CASE from my friend and look-alike, Julie Davison.  I made a few adjustments like changing up the sentiment, making it a standard size card, and using the Decorative Dots embossing folder for the starfruit trim.

    So cute, huh?!

    Stampin’ Supplies Used
    Stamps – Banner Blast (SAB), Sweet Essentials
    Ink – Pool Party, Basic Black, Summer Starfruit, Crisp Cantaloupe
    Paper – Sweet Sorbet designer paper (SAB), Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, Summer Starfruit
    Accessories – Banner punch (SAB), Big Shot, Decorative Dots embossing folder (SAB), stampin’ dimensionals

    The girls who made it to the party enjoyed them and hopefully they give you some ideas to try when you order and get your free Sale-a-Bration goodies too!
