Welcoming Three New Sale-A-Bration Items!

Sale-A-Bration, Stampin' Up!'s biggest promotion of the year, is officially half over. Yesterday we said good-bye to three limited time SAB rewards, although there may still be a few left as supplies last. Today we are welcoming three new SAB items and I wanted you to have a good look at them. I'm going to post them in the order of my favourites and I will also post the Stampin' Up! videos that explain them all to you.

During Sale-A-Bration, which goes from Jan. 5 - Mar. 31, 2016, you can earn rewards in different ways. Firstly, for every $60 you spend during this period, you can choose a free reward from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

Secondly, you can host a workshop or private class and if your sales meet the qualifying total, Stampin' Up! will add an extra $35 in Stampin' Rewards, over and above what you would normally receive. If you would like to book a date for your event, email me.

Finally, if you join my team, Stampin' Up! is adding an extra $40 in free products to the Starter Kit, with free shipping. That's $195 worth of any current products for only $125. This is a great option for anyone (like me) with a huge wish list. You don't ever have to do anything else after purchasing the Starter Kit, and you'll enjoy 20% discounts on our great products for at least 4 months. If you can sell to a few friends, you can start earning some extra money for holidays or a new summer outfit, and you can enjoy the discounts, the friendship of our team and great resources from Stampin' Up! for as long as you can make the minimum sales in a 3 month period. There is no risk at all, and so many amazing benefits. To join Stampin' Up!, click on Join My Team here or in the top menu and follow the prompts. Email me if you'd like me to walk you through it.

But let's get to the new products:

1) Why did no one ever think of this before? Metallics Glitter Tape = Washi Tape with glitter on it! I love it!

Listen to Holly Ellefson show you the features of my favourite Sale-A-Bration product:


       

2) Pedal Pusher Photopolymer stamp set: This set is so cute! A bicycle built for two with all sorts of things you can add to the basket!

And here is adorable Carrie Cudney, to tell you more about this adorable set:

        


3) Party Pants Stamp Set: I love the sentiment: Put your party pants on! And that balloon coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet Punch from the Occasions Catalogue.

Now listen while Brandi Barnard show you the versatility of this set:

Don't forget that anyone who earns at least one Sale-A-Bration item this year will receive an exclusive invitation to my Celebrate Sale-A-Bration Party in April, with games, food, make & takes and gobs of Sale-A-Bration door prizes!

To place an order, email me or go to my On-Line Store and place an order anytime 24/7!

Flowering Fields for Mojo Monday

A quick post today with a sample from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue using Flowering Fields stamp set. I wasn't sold on this set at first, but I've seen so many beautiful designs using these images, that I thought I would try it out.

• I've been doing a lot of water colouring lately as well, and these designs were coloured using a Blender Pen and ink pads. 
• I also used the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper from the SAB brochure and it determined the colours I used on my images. 
• Finally, I used some of the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum stack on the the sentiment flag, stamping the greeting in StazOn Jet Black ink. (The greeting is from the Rose Wonder stamp set.

The layout is from the Mojo Monday Challenge sketch this week:

Remember, during Sale-A-Bration, to earn these free rewards, you only need to order $60 or more from any of the current catalogues. For every $60 you spend, you get one reward item.

Hello for Freshly Made Sketches

Almost everyone has done a cover or a parody of Adele's new hit, "Hello", so I figured why not get in on the action here, especially when one of the stamp sets that you can earn for free during Sale-A-Bration is called Hello! I also wanted to get in on the action with Freshly Made Sketches, because I just love their unique challenge sketch this week:

When I first saw the sketch, I thought it would be perfect to use with the Botanical Gardens Suite, and I decided to use Basic Black as the main front panel, so I wanted a bold sentiment to emboss in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. And the Hello Stamp Set is perfect for the job!

You can earn this set in either wood mount or clear mount for free simply by purchasing $60 worth of Stampin' Up! products during the first half of Sale-A-Bration. Why only the first half? This is one of three Sale-A-Bration rewards that is available only for a limited time, through Feb. 15, 2016. After that these three will be replaced with 3 new products that none of us has even seen yet! So if you want this great set, make sure you don't wait too long.

• The unique strip on the top of the design was made from a piece of Designer Series Paper in the Botanical Gardens collection. The Botanical Gardens DSP features a palette that includes Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, Old Olive and Mossy Meadows, so those are the colours I've used for this card.
• Using those same colours of cardstock, I made the card base, the card front and I used Botanical Builder Framelits to die cut the tropical looking flowers and leaves at the top.
• As I mentioned before, I heat embossed the greeting from the Hello Stamp set in White Stampin' Emboss Powder.
• If you purchase the Botanical Blooms Bundle, which includes the Botanical Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set, Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper and the Botanical Builder Framelit Dies, you would have ordered enough to earn the Hello Stamp Set for a Sale-A-Bration reward! How cool is that?

I'm planning to be back tomorrow with my top 10 products from the new Occasions Catalogue, just in case you need a little guidance to help you streamline your wishlist a little! Happy Monday!
