Sale-A-Bration ends Today!

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, it is so sad to remind you all that Sale-A-Bration ends today! It has been a fabulous three months with lots of wonderful free items to chose from with every qualifying purchase. It’s probably no surprise to read that the Party Pandas stamp set and the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Papers were my favourites. I have loved creating with them and will be sorry to see them go. If you have had your eye on one of these limited edition items, don’t delay, they will be gone after today!

For every $90 you spend, you can select a FREE Level 1 item from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. You can see the awesome items here. For every $180 you spend, you have the option to choose TWO FREE items from Level 1 or ONE FREE item from Level 2. You can see the fantastic Level 2 rewards here.

Don’t forget, if you order more than $400 worth of goodies you will also receive 10% Stampin’ Rewards as well as an extra $40 in Stampin’ Rewards!

Lots of Lavender Sale-A-Bration

Happy Wedding Day (Lots of Lavender)

written by Kylie

Hi, for the most part, I only make cards and scrapbook pages (and I haven’t really scrapbooked in a while) but I know some of you like to make 3D items. When I received the newsletter from Stampin’ Up! today I just had to share it with you as it is so very pretty. I think any recipient would be thrilled to receive such a gift. It has been made using the Lots of Lavender stamp set which is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item and the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set.

Here’s the project…

Isn’t this gorgeous! You could always adapt the basic design to a card front but if you love making 3D items then you will love making this little box.

Orange Blossom Sale-A-Bration

Thank You {a lot} (Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack)

written by Kylie

Hi, with the end of Sale-A-Bration rapidly approaching – *sob* – I thought I would share another couple of cards using the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack. This is one of the items you could select as your freebie if you make a qualifying order before Sale-A-Bration ends on 31st March 2018. The Memories & More Card Packs are fantastic not only for scrapbooking but also cardmaking. They make it so easy to make quick, easy and cute cards. If you are a fan of the Clean & Simple style, you will love these cards.

Stampin’ Up! loves to share ideas with its demonstrator base in its regular newsletters and quarterly magazine (which I think is a fantastic perk)! The cards below are two which Stampin’ Up! shared in a recent newsletter. I think you’ll love them like I did.

For the first card, I selected three different cards. I cut the flower out of one card. I stamped a sentiment from the Orange Blossom stamp set in Old Olive ink on another card, tied some Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine around the card before layering the flower on top (using Stampin’ Dimensionals). This was then attached to an Old Olive card base.

Here’s the card…

The second card is even more simple. You only need two cards. Cut a strip off the larger card and adhere it to a Marina Mist cardstock base. (Save the rest of the card to make another card). Tie a length of the Berry Burst Metallic Edge Ribbon along the seam of the card. Add the sentiment card to the top. Finish off the card with a heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes.

Here’s the card…

(Apologies for the quality of the photographs).

I love these cards and cannot wait to make up more. Just think how many cards you could whip up using the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack!

Memories & More Occasions Sale-A-Bration We Must Celebrate

We’re Behind You All the Way (We Must Celebrate)

written by Kylie

Hi, today I’m sharing a variation of the card I shared earlier this week. I so love creating scene cards with critters and the We Must Celebrate critters are just too cute! Once again, I have used quite a lot of products but you really don’t need to get as carried away as I have. The other thing to be aware of is that while this card might look a little complicated, it really isn’t. There’s no masking or fancy techniques. Just stamp, colour, cut, die cut, emboss, adhere and voila! you are done!

The critters were stamped in Memento ink and coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I created the scene using a circular background rather than a rectangular shape. I cut out the sky and grass using a circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits die set and the clouds and grass mound were cut from the dies in the Up & Away Thinlits die set.

I had layered a Memories & More card from the Petal Garden Card Pack onto an Olive Green cardstock base however when I placed the scene on top it just didn’t fill the space as I had hoped. It needed a bit of extra texture and a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock sent through the Big Shot in the new Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder (which you can currently earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration) was the perfect addition. I did sponge a bit of extra ink along the edges to make it look less stark. I finished off the card with an embossed sentiment and some silver metallic enamel dots.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t these critters adorable! Can you just imagine the different scenarios in which you can place them? The rabbit would be fabulous for Easter, for example. Have you used the critters in different ways?

Eclectic Expressions Photo Card Sale-A-Bration

Thank You Photo Card (Eclectic Expressions)

written by Kylie

Hi, as regular readers of my blog will know my dog Zac recently passed away. I wanted to send a note to the Vet Clinic for taking such good care of Zac during his life, and particularly in the week leading up to his passing. I thought it would be a lot more personal to include a photograph of Zac. Instead of including the picture inside the card I decided his picture would be the focal point of the card.

You don’t need a lot of supplies to create a card like this, nor do you need a lot of time. The other cool thing about this design is that you could also use this technique for scrapbooking (and pocket page scrapbooking in particular).

Simply take a photograph you like and adhere it to a card base. Emboss a sentiment on a strip of coordinating cardstock. Trim to size and use the Banner Triple Punch to flag the end. Add the silver heart from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack. Add the sentiment to the photograph and you are done!

Here’s the card…

Now firstly, wasn’t my Zac a cute dog? Miss him terribly and cannot believe it has been 6 weeks since he crossed the rainbow bridge. I know a few of my readers have recently been in a similar situation. It is such a heartbreaking time. I hope you are getting through as best you can.

Secondly, isn’t it a nice and simple way to create a greeting card (or to use on a scrapbook page). I hope you’ll give it a try!

Sale-A-Bration

Hello (Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Park)

written by Kylie

Hi, today I am sharing the easiest card to make but one which looks so lovely! You only need a handful of supplies – some card stock, a Memories & More card, ribbon and adhesive. I’m CASEing a card shared by Stampin’ Up! to demonstrators this week. I thought you’d all love it! Sometimes you need to whip up a card very quickly and this is the perfect card for such an occasion. I am using the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack (which you could earn for free with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration).

Here’s the card…

I’m sorry the card has a golden tinge – the light wasn’t great when I tried to take photos.

I added some Wink of Stella to the Hello just to give it a little more sparkle. You could also step up the card in a few ways such as using an embossing folder on the card base, or stamping some images on the card base. You could add rhinestones. Another idea would be to use Stampin’ Dimensionals and pop up the centre panel. You could also stamp an extra sentiment and mount it under the ‘Hello’ such as “I love you”.

I hope you’ll give it a try!

One Big Meaning Sale-A-Bration Stampin' Blends

Thank You (Springtime Foils/One Big Thanks/Petal Garden)

written by Kylie

Hi, I love it when things come together effortlessly…as it doesn’t always! I had taken out the Petal Garden Card Pack to work with and came across a gorgeous background of leaves which was stunning. I had placed it on the table to find other things to go with it. It just so happens I still had some coloured floral images from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper lying on the table. They looked so good together so I had to make another card!

I also can’t stop colouring the floral images from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is truly gorgeous! I love that you can use the sheet as is, or colour it and use it as a background, cut out images from the sheet, or colour in and then cut out the images. So many options.

Here’s the card…

I LOVE how pretty the Springtimes Foil Specialty Designer Paper is. It is impossible to make a horrible card using it. lol Don’t you just love the fabulous background Petal Garden card too? Gorgeous!

Occasions One Big Meaning Petal Palette Sale-A-Bration Stampin' Blends

A trio of cards (Springtime Foils Specialty DSP)

written by Kylie

Hi, just when you thought I had stepped away from using the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, I’m back with not one, but three cards! I love this paper! I’m sure you can tell that!

This is another set of cards where they are similar but different. Cards like these are great because all I do is vary one or two items (such as the design, colour, sentiment, or embellishments) and the cards look completely different. It shows that you can use the same supplies and create a never-ending number of cards. Of course, when you then throw in other card designs, use different stamps sets in combination you can make even more cards. It really helps you get the most out of your crafting investments.

For all three cards, all I did was colour the Floral design from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper with my Stampin’ Blends. I picked out different colour combinations as I was curious as to how the different colours might look. (And forgive the colouring, I did so in low light and hadn’t realised it was a little ‘rough’). Next, I mounted each panel on gold but I positioned them in different places on the card bases.

I stamped my chosen sentiments in Versamark ink and gold embossed them so they would coordinate with the gold foil sheets. I then adhered them all to card bases. Quick, easy and they look so good!

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Here’s the third card…

I love this look and I have really enjoyed creating with the gorgeous Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper (which you can earn for free, with a qualifying order, during Sale-A-Bration). I really love all three colour combinations but today I think the Pool Party card is my favourite. Do you have a favourite?
