Stampin' Up! Third Sale-A-Bration Release

These items are in addition to the items that have already been released with this year's Sale-A-Bration item.  Download a copy of the previously released items here.  

I'm so pleased to see these fantastic products introduced as free Sale-A-Bration selections during the last stretch of our annual Sale-A-Bration promotion.  Take a look at the new items and place your order today.  Sale-A-Bration ends March 31, 2020.   

One of my favorites from the Third Release are the Mini Shipping Boxes.   They remind me of how happy I am every time I see a Stampin' Up! box arrive on a UPS truck.   I found a super cute UPS truck on Amazon to use on my display table along with these Mini Shipping Boxes. 




A  fun coordinating item to go with the Mini Shipping Boxes--from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog--is the Follow Your Art washi tape where one of the tapes is a Stamping' up! Logo tape, which I use to seal the mini logo boxes.  The Follow Your At Washi Tape is item #149490. I keep my washi tapes organized by putting them on a ring and include the labels from the packaging so I know which washi tape family each roll belongs to.  Don't want to use a box with a Stampin' up! logo?  Cover your mini box with a cardstock belly band in any color you choose.  These make such cute gift boxes for small items.

Braided Border Card with Inspiring Iris images from Stampin' Up!

  • Stampin' Up! Inspiring Iris Stamp Set
  • Braided Border Punch
  • Sale-A-Bration ends March 31 - Order today to earn free selections

Stampin' Up! Inspiring Iris


Today I felt like I needed to use some bright colors to match the beautiful Spring we're having in Houston.  I started by punching the edges of the Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Braided Border Punch.  Then I used the Inspiring Iris Stamp Set to add lovely shades of purple to create the Iris images.   I wanted to show you a close up of the Iris image because it is created with two-step stamps that also creates textures.   The Inspiring Irish stamp set from Stampin' Up! is from the Annual Catalog.  

 





The basecard for today's card is Granny Apple Green.  The trick to aligning the punching on both edges is to use the Border Punch one one edge, punching on the right side of the card front, turn the card front to the back side and punch the opposite edge from the back side of the card front.   Then I added a small layer of Highland Heather and a slightly smaller layer of Purple Posy.  

  
      





I stamped the Iris image from Inspiring Iris in Gorgeous Grape.  Then the I used the two step stamp for the leaves using Granny Apple Green Ink.  There is another two-step stamp for the iris heads, which I stamped in Highland Heather.  .  

I added a knotted Purple 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon to the base of the Irises.  The Happy Easter sentiment is from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.  However, this could just as easily be a Happy Spring card or a Happy Mother's Day Card.  I added some of the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins to the top of the card to balance it out visually.   
   
  


     



  
This is the perfect time to use your current stash of craft supplies as you spend some time in your Happy Stampin' Place.  Make a list of  friends, neighbors, and family that need a note of cheer, a friendly hello, or a note of appreciation to help them pass the time.  This is a great time to start your Easter Cards, Mother & Fathers Day Cards and any upcoming Birthday Cards you'll need.   Let's keep stampin' to take our mind off the news while we enjoy our time at home.  Sending handmade cards is a great way to stay in touch when you can't be with distant loved ones and will be greatly appreciated during trying times.     

If you don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the January-June 2020 Mini catalogcontact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
