Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

January 25, 2023

We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend. As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen. She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set. It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

Save

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud! She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly. Genius! I plan to share her technique soon.

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

Save

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping. My favorite types of stamp hands down!

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are:

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you. She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?

Save

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front. It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges. I love this idea! You could add a bookmark in the same way.

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

Sponge Brayer on an embossing folder? Cool effect!

January 24, 2020
Have you ever used a sponge brayer? Did you even know we carry them? We do! On page 181 of the annual catalog. Click here to see them.

Save

I used Pool Party ink and the sponge brayer to add ink to the flat side of the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. Then I inserted my card stock or envelope flap into the folder and ran it through the machine. Super easy! Then just rinse the ink off your embossing folder when you're done. Our ink colors are water based so it comes off easily.

Click below to watch the video; it's at the end of this one below:

I used another 'stitched heart' on the front of this card using the Heart Doilies seen here. The few die-cuts are from the Stitched Be Mine set of dies in the annual catalog. See those here.

Save

I shared how to do this stitched heart doily in a previous FB live video. Click here to see it. It took me about 8 minutes to stitch and I do NOT stitch by hand much at all. Maybe once a year. That should tell you it's easy!

Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

January 23, 2020
I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep. I rarely do that! Do you?

Save

I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday. My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week. It's so simple! And you could do this with many of our dies too! Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!

Save

Details:
- The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch. I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards.
- The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily. The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here.
- I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite. See them here
- You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.
Cutting:
- I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long. The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope. When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet! It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'.
- The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".
I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve. I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

January 22, 2020
This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month. People are loving it!

Save

I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters. We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers.

**Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads? They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.

See the stamp set here. It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

Details:
- Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
- The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
- 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
- two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
- The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!
