3 Days Left to Earn FREE Sale-A-Bration Products

The end of Sale-A-Bration is approaching FAST!  Friday is the last day to earn FREE products during Stampin' Up!'s biggest sale of the year.  Click on the image below to learn more.

Each day this week I am featuring one of the products you can earn for FREE during this special promotion.  Today I am featuring my favorite Sale-A-Bration stamp set; So Very Much.

This is a really quick and easy card to make.  I cut a strip of Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper and adhered it at the bottom of a Thick Whisper White card base.  Then I tied Blushing Bride baker's twine around the the card.  I stamped the "Thank You" image in Blushing Bride ink - then I used the Stamp-a -ma- jig to stamp the "Thank You" again just to the left and a little above the Blushing Bride words - but this time using Rich Razzleberry Ink.  Below is a close up of the "shadow" look you get from stamping in the two different colors:

It just adds a little something extra - although the card would still look great if it was just stamped once!

Below is the same card just using a different patterned paper and different ribbon:

SOUPer Bowl Bingo - Stampin' Up! Style

Sunday was my 6th annual "SOUP"er Bowl party.  It was a fun filled afternoon that started with homemade soup for lunch.  This year we added the fun of BINGO.  We played 3 games of bingo then took a break to make 4 cards.  Then we played 3 more games of regular bingo before finishing up with the jackpot game

Here are the first three winners:

Or should I say the first TWO winners.  Diane won the first two games!  Her first prize was water color pencils, blender pens, water color paper, and a roll of ribbon.  Her second prize was a card kit and Fast Fuse adhesive.  Debbie picked a past paper pumpkin kit for her prize.  The kit makes little Valentine treats and inside the tote bag was a bag of M&Ms to fill the bags!

Here are some photos of busy stampers making their cards:

We had 19 people join us for the afternoon.  These are the cards everyone made:

Card 1

or

Card 2

or

Card 3

or

Card 4

 

We had a table set up for people who finished their cards early.  We encouraged everyone to write a note to someone who might appreciate a "thinking of you" card.  We will make sure these cards get delivered and I'm sure they will be greatly appreciated by everyone who receives one.

After everyone finished making their cards, we played three more games of  regular bingo.  Here are the winners with their prizes.

Elizabeth won a package of Pumpkin grid sheets , a collapsible trash bin, Wink of Stella, and a Fast Fuse adhesive.  Nanette won a Perpetual Birthday calendar, a set of birthday cards, and a #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp set. Cathy won the retired "Sweet Centers" stamp set, several boxes of treat cups, and three pages of printed ideas for using the stamp set.  Everything was stashed in a Paper Pumpkin bag for easy carrying.

And the grand prize winner of a $140 gift certificate for Stampin' Up! merchandise was Sarah:

It was a fun filled afternoon - and to top it off we collected $74 to donate to the church's food pantry!  If you were not able to attend this time - I hope you will try to join us for the next Bingo - Stampin' Up! style!

A Tiny Treat

This is the 3D project we made at my stamp club meetings this month.  We used the Designer Series Paper, Sweet Sorbet and the Envelope Punch Board to make a 3x3" envelope. 

Then we tucked a Ghirardelli Chocolate inside and finished it up with a cute bow made using a few punches.  Really cute and simple.

You can receive a package of Sweet Sorbet designer series paper for FREE with a $50 Stampin' Up! order during the greatest sale of the year: SALE-A-BRATION.  The sale continues through March 31.  There are lots of other FREE products you can receive with each $50 you spend!

SWAPS!

 This was my SWAP card from a recent Stampin' Up! team meeting I attended.  It is the same design that I used for our "Soup"er Bowl Stamp Camp.  See those cards BY CLICKING HERE.  Besides changing the color to Pretty in Pink, I used the Adorning Accent Edgelit (with the Big Shot) to cut the scallop edge of the card.  I also used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch instead of using real ribbon.

Below is the card that my down line, Connie, made for her SWAP.  Isn't it beautiful?!

You can receive many of the supplies Connie used to make this card for FREE, with a $50 catalog order from Stampin' Up!

Thank you!

This is a 3x3 card that I made to tuck in with some orders last month.  The card base is Pretty in Pink.  The bottom of the card is embossed using the Big Shot and one of the Adorning Accents Folders- item #125601/$8.95.  You get three different folders to emboss card edges.  The "thank you" is stamped with the Sale-a-bration set, "Pretty Petites" which you can get FREE with a $50 purchase by March 22.  It was punched out with the Petite Curly Label punch, another item you can get for FREE during Sale-a-bration.

MY FIRST VIDEO!!!!

I have to thank Ben for making my first video.  I thought it was just a practice run.......but he turned it into a pretty nice video within an hour.  I will be showing you how to use a stamp-a-ma-jig.  I don't use mine very often because I usually don't worry about whether an image is exactly centered on my card.   But when I was making a card using the Patterned Occasions stamp set, some of the images barely fit on the card stock I had cut, so I needed to pull out my stamp-a-ma-jig.  It comes with a reusable plastic sheet to use as a guide for where to stamp your image, but I make my own permanent image sheets by cutting up thin chopping mats that I buy at the Dollar Tree.  You get 2 in a package, and they are big enough to get quite a few out of each mat!  Below is a picture of the packaging, in case you want to go on a hunt at your local dollar store.

Feeling Sentimental

I have given up making New Year's Resolutions about losing weight or exercising more.......and went for something that would actually be FUN and possibly achievable.  This year I decided that I was going to blog daily (so far so good!) and that I was going to actually SEND the cards that I make!

This is the card I made for my brother-in-law's birthday.  OK, I was a little late, but I did send it!  I used the stamp set "Feeling Sentimental" and the retired designer series paper, Well Worn (which was still available on the CLEARANCE RACK for only $4.39 the last time I checked.)

The card below is how I intended for the card to look, but when I was putting it all together, I forgot to use the blue layer of card stock.

I love this stamp set, mainly because of the image that I did not use - which is a London phone booth.  It reminds me of the three years that we lived in London.  Look for another card made with that image soon.

Would you like to get this stamp set or lots of other fabulous Stampin' Up! products  for FREE?
Just place a $50 order between January 22 - March 22 and you can choose from a wide variety of exclusive products for FREE!

Check back NEXT TUESDAY to see what those products are.  Or CONTACT ME NOW to get a copy of the Sale-a-Bration brochure and the new Spring Catalog!
