Fun with Sale-a-bration’s Awesome Otters

Did you know that during Sale-a-bration you can choose free products with a qualifying purchase? It’s true for every $50 or $100 purchase in your favorite products you can choose a exclusive Sale-a-bration product for free! That’s a great deal. When I saw the Awesome Otters stamp set (Sale-a-bration 158087) I just knew I had to get it. I fell in love with these little guys the first time I saw them at Sea World in California as a child. Fun and playful this stamp set is a great choice for your FREE Sale-a-bration item when you order.

Cute, right? Check out these lovely cards using the stamp set. This first card teams up the Awesome Otter stamp set with the beautiful Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 158128). This Designer Series Paper comes in 6×6 packs and is another of your FREE Sale-a-bration choices.

You’re going to love this paper as it comes in 12 different patterns and colors. All these card use our Stampin’ Blends to color the little fellas. This next birthday card uses our Layering Diorama Dies (155565) to create a fun layering feel.

Texture has been added to the different layers with the Bark (155431) and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folders (154317). And today’s final card uses another of our FREE Sale-a-bration products, the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 158126).

Wedges of fun patterns create a fun and colorful backdrop for the otter and the Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ Ribbon (155816) adds a bit of texture too. Don’t you love how just a change in color can give your project a different feel?

So what do you think? I think you’ll fall in love with our Sale-a-bration choices, but remember they are only available for a limited time and with global shipping and supply issues you’ll want to order early to get the best selection possible so you don’t miss out.

The Bumblebee and it’s Gingham Ribbon (153658) just draw you into this nature inspired card. And this next card was combines Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight. Two colors that are part of our 2020 In Color Collection.

Timeless Tropical Treats

Love quick and easy treats? If so our Ombre Gift Bags might be just the think you are looking for since they make creating a treat quick and easy. I was inspired to create my own little gift bag by a swap that I received (you can see it HERE).

Make them up ahead and simply slide your goodie inside when you’re ready.

Bags are 4 3/4″ x 7″ so they’ll hold quite a bit too. This batch I whipped up for a little Team gift for our Meeting, I filled them with a sweet little treat for my along with a little something I picked up on the Maui Incentive Trip in May.

They were a hit for sure.

Want to see how I made them? I’ve got a quick little video tutorial and PDF for you.
