Sunday Share - Sale-a-Bration is Almost Over!! Only 4 Days Left!

It's almost time to say farewell to this year's Sale-a-Bration products but there is still a few days for you to shop for your basics or bundle you've got on your list, and then add some of the amazing FREE items in the Sale-a-Bration list . . .don't delay as the last day to order and get your FREE items is Thursday, February 29th. Here's the latest add-on items you can get, as well as those in the flyer.

Check out my online Spring Mini catalogue and Sale-a-Bration flyer on my sidebar for some sample ideas - then shop away!! You will also want to check out the Online Exclusives that are available and not in any printed catalogues or brochures! 

A great way to maximize your value is to pick up a Paper Pumpkin subscription, earn FREE products, and then watch for those fun boxes to come to you each month . . . you can also "suspend" any month that the kit preview shares something you don't think you can use, or if you will be away. Another bonus of subscribing is you have access to past kits (usually refills without the stamps and spots) so you can add kits later to use with your own stamps.  The picture below is a sneak peek of the March kit and you have until March 10th to get it! It includes a bonus extra stamp set for your collection - always a good thing to have!

I have a closing February workshops order going in on February 29th with my Host Code AVTJW7BV, so if you'd like me to add your order, just shoot me a message or email and let me know what you'd like, and how you want to pay. I'll do the rest 😉💕

Happy stamping,

Sunday Share - Happy Family Day Long Weekend Sketch

It's Family Day in British Columbia today and I must admit the weekend has kinda got away from me so this post is a day late, but it is in time to celebrate Family Day - do you have a holiday today? If yes, what's going to make it special for you??  We are hanging out at home, enjoying the sun and I'm doing some crafting (surprise!!) and working on my crafting area organization.

I shared a sketch and card idea in my weekly newsletter and wanted to show you how you can change it up with different papers and have a variety of cards ready to send . . . . I really like this DSP that you can earn for free with the current Sale-a-Bration promotion - only until February 29th and then it's gone forever!  

This is fun card for a birthday and inside you can add your personal touch . . . 

And this message would be perfect to let someone know you are thinking of them! Love the happy birds on this Flight & Airy paper and did I mention that it's FREE with any $60 purchase?? Both greetings are from Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in the Spring Mini - link on my sidebar if you don't have a paper copy handy.  

Love this stamp and punch bundle. Sadly the punch isn't available again until mid April but that shows how popular this bundle has been!!  Watch for it to come back so you can get it too!

Shop now while the specials are on and get rewarded for ordering - each $60 pre-tax and shipping gets you a pick of the items in the list so don't delay!  And if your order is under $200 use my current Host Code AVTJW7BV to get in on the end of month draws for sharing Host Rewards - easy and fun if the wheel calls your name! 

Want the ultimate shopping bundle - join my team and get so much extra free product and no shipping on your started kit . . . it's a great deal for budget shoppers as you earn discounts on all your purchases, and if you don't meet the next quarterly minimums, then no big deal - you are done with no regrets. See more info in the video above, or connect with me to get you started on your fun crafting journey 😉💕

Happy stamping,

Sunday Share - A Sweet Springtime Kit from Paper Pumpkin

I know we are all looking forward to spring and some warmer weather and according to the groundhog on February 2nd we are in for an early spring so Yay! for that news . . . . and this meme for us crafters really says it all LOL!!

All kidding aside, the next Paper Pumpkin kit is going to be perfect for spring greetings and gifts to anyone in your circle - family, friends, co-workers or for RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) little reminders. You can subscribe for the current kit up to the end of the day on February 10th - so don't delay if you'd like to start with this spring-like kit!! 

While the details are always a surprise, here's what we do know about the upcoming kit:

Celebrate Easter and Spring with adorable cards and treat boxes!

• Makes 9 projects: 3 each of 3 designs

• Projects include printed cards, coordinating envelopes, and gift boxes

• Precut paper pieces, baker’s twine, and embellishments

I'm in for this kit and I sure hope you are too!  Yu can sign up here for a month to month subscription, or buy pre-paid subscriptions on line here and earn FREE Sale-a-Bration products at the same time - win! win! Remember that Sale-a-Bration ends February 29th so don't miss out on the FREE stuff!! 

Here's a quick graphic so you can see the values and how many items you can choose for free with the different subscription levels:

I usually buy during Sale-a-Bration so I can choose some FREE products, then enter the code I get in an email on the Paper Pumpkin site, and each month I decide if I want the kit based on the previews I get from Stampin' Up! or if I want to suspend that month because I'll be away or I'm sure I won't be able to use the kit (I'm warning you though - that hardly ever happens). It's so easy to manage your subscription your way! And once you are a subscriber, you can get past kits and special promotions too 

Any questions - please connect with me and I'll be glad to help you! 

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Colour Inspiration For SAB Detailed Dogwood Stamps

For my share today I decided to play off the Colour Inspo in my last newsletter using a new stamp I got FREE with the latest Sale-a-Bration flyer. I had to get the Detailed Dogwood stamp as it's our provincial flower and I love watching the blooms come out in the spring around our neighborhood.  Here's the colours I'm using again for this post:

Here's all the pieces I used to make my cards - I started with the Embossing Folder in the Softy Sophisticated Bundle (another SAB item) and stamped my image to colour with Gray Granite - a bit softer look than my regular Memento Black. The strips of Designer Series Papers came from Inked Botanicals DSP in the Annual Catalogue. It was hard to find a DSP with Crushed Curry!! 

I'm not sure the colours are traditional for any dogwood I've seen, but I do think they came out really pretty don't you? I added some small bits of Shaded Spruce cardstock with the greeting background and the punched leaves. 

I did this card with a greeting that can be used for any occasion when I just want to say Hi to a friend and I flipped the embossing to the back for a flat design. The flower colours were done with my Blender Pen and the Pool Party background with my Small Blending Brushes. 

Here's my other card with a Happy Birthday greeting - and the embossed piece shows off the texture in this card.  Both sentiments are in the Notes of Nature stamp set in the Spring Mini p 43 - it's a great set too (probably my favourite in the Mini!!). I added a bit of Linen Thread to the middle strips to create a bit more texture. 

I'm closing my January workshop with Host Code NUDKGRFU on the 31st (Wednesday) so if you've got a small order you want to add then let me know. Orders over $35 go into my draws for sharing Host Rewards each month (unless your order is over $200 then you earn your own rewards).  

Drop me an email or message with your shopping list - or go online here and have it come direct to you (quickest and easiest).  Remember that Sale-a-Bration gives you FREE product for every $60 you order so watch for the prompts and don't miss out!!  

Until next time - Happy stamping!

Sharing Sale-a-Bration With FREE Products Flight & Airy

Today I'm sharing two cards I made recently using the sketch from my newsletter on Saturday.  It's such a great sketch to use and works for any papers and any occasion . . . . give it a try and I know you'll be keeping it handy!!

I grabbed my FREE pack of  Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper and picked one pattern that made me think of spring (while we are still feeling the effects of last week's snow!!).  I thought Boho Blue Cardstock would be a good contrast and was pretty happy with the way it looked even when it was cut up on my workspace. The other side of the paper was perfect in Pecan Pie for the contrast strip I wanted. 

I stamped both greetings from the Layering Leaves stamp set in the Annual Catalogue with Boho Blue Ink, and added some Garden Green leafy trim bits that were still on my desk from Christmas (great way to use up and clear off my desk too!)  

I thought the Copper Clay Jute Trim was a close enough match for the colours in the DSP so it got wrapped around the cross piece of Boho Blue cardstock and then I made a small bow and stuck it on the side with a couple of glue dots.  My envelopes got a bit of the DSP on the back flap - what do you think of my Flight & Airy cards?? 

I hope you like this alternate from my project last week - I'd love to see your cards so please share them on my Facebook page or in a quick message!
