Celebrate You during Sale-a-Bration

Hi everyone - don't you love the samples shown on my newsletter earlier this week? The Stampin' Up! artists sure know how to create some awesome ideas using the new dies and stamp sets!

Here's the Sale-a-Bration flyer picture to remind you . . . . . . and you can get the dies and stamps FREE with your qualifying orders but only until March 31st!

and here's what I made after looking at their ideas, and making my own version . . .  the background wash is Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Peekaboo Peach inks, added with the Aqua Painter.  The greeting add-on is from Picture Perfect Birthday - a really fun stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue!

Once I made this card, it was a quick step to create a second card with the watercoloured die cut - and some of the DSP from the Picture Perfect Party Birthday Stack -

Here's what you will need to make the cards with a link to my store so you can recreate the cards at home!

Card #1 - Whisper White cardstock base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4 + 1/2" x 3" strip for greeting ; Bermuda Bay cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"; Watercolor Paper 3 3/4" x 5" + 1 1/2" x 6" strip to stamp bows. Ink colours are Pool Party + Bermuda Bay; Peekaboo Peach + Pumpkin Pie; Daffodil Delight + Pumpkin Pie. Add some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to the bows, and Rhinestone Basic Jewels for your bling!

Card #2 - Whisper White cardstock base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at  4 1/4"; Basic Black cardstock 2" x 4 1/4" + scrap for die cut "You"; Picture Perfect Party Paper Stack 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" + plus a 2" x 6" strip to decorate your envelope flap, and some Rhinestone Basic Jewels for your sparkle!

You can see all my ideas up close when you come to my Catalogue Launch party next week - either Thursday January 25 from 1 -3 pm or 7 -9 pm; or on Sunday January 28 from  1 - 3 pm. You can pick up the new catalogue and flyer, make a card, nibble on some treats, visit with friends and have a great break from your routine day/evening! I can't wait to show you how you can earn both the dies and stamps just by getting products you need to have to create your own cards or scrapbook layouts!

Meanwhile take a look at the video from our Stampin' Up! trainers to show you how to get the most from the Amazing You stamps and Celebrate You Thinlits -
