Sale-a-brate with Counting Sheep

Posted on August 11, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

With Sale-a-bration in full swing I thought I’d share some of the Sale-a-bration products that you can earn for free when you place a qualifying order during August and September. It’s our first time doing Sale-a-bration in the fall and I think Stampin’ Up! has given us some really great options, like the Counting Sheep stamp set (156591) and the coordinating Sheep Dies (156600).

Adorable, right? And these dies add some fun images too, giving you even more options.

Check out these fun cards made using the stamp set. This first card is done in our bright primary colors Pacific Point, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight.

A bit of color was added to the background with our Blending Brushes on the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560). And how about this next card? Can you guess the Designer Series Paper stacked used as a back drop?

If you said In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494) you’d be right and the Mango Medley and Granny Apple Green used for a pop of color give this card a bright happy feel. Last but not least is this little lamb. Done in Garden Green and Basic Gray

this card uses another Sale-a-bration product, the Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper (156628) and the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders (153126) for some quick and easy texture.

Sale-a-bration ends in 48 hours!

Posted on February 26, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Sale-a-bration ends Sunday, February 28th, that just 2 days! So why not check out these projects using some of the free Sale-a-bration goodies before they are gone?

This first card uses one of my favorite stamp sets, Darling Donkeys (Sale-a-bration 155264). These adorable little faces are too hard to resist.

This card teams up this sweet face with the For Every Season Designer Series Paper (152486) and Ornate Layers Dies (152726) for a bright cheerful spring card.

And how about this next card using the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper that is part of the Berry Blessing Bundle (Sale-a-bration 157613) found in the Sale-a-bration line up.

I love the fact that it coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle (154394) found in our Mini Catalog. Making it a sweet choice. And how about that adorable Ladybug Trinket (154299)? Coordination one of the great things about Stampin’ Up!

And these next two cards use another favorite, the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) for two completely different looks.

This first card is bright and cheerful card teams up the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (156224) with the Dandy Wishes Die (154315) cut images and Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317).

While this next card uses the Oh Snap (154486) stamp set and Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (150646).

The dry embossing not only adds texture but give a cool reptile look to the card.

And finally I think this is my favorite Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Oh So Ombre (Sale-a-bration 155225) since it is a stack filled with 4 colors in each pattern it is great for multiple projects like I shared with you yesterday.

This card was stamped with the Back to Back Blooms (152597) stamp set found on page 63 of the Mini Catalog. It’s a Reversibles stamp set giving you a ton of choices since when you reverse the stamp on your block you have a second stamping option. Cool right.

This monochromatic card uses the simple outline images to create a soft and lovely card for someone’s birthday. The vellum and Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (146912) adds that soft look. Do you recognize the sentiment? It’s from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (154507).

Whew! Lots of great Sale-a-bration products to choose from. Get yours before they are gone for good. Sale-a-bration ends on Sunday at 11:50 pm (MT).

Happy Thoughts to you!

Posted on February 16, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

Well I don’t know about you, but I woke up to the wind howling early this morning announcing the latest cold front has arrived. The good news it it helped the roads dry before the cold temps arrived. Weather likes this makes me want to stay inside and craft. How about you? So today I thought I’d share some wonderful cards with you using our fabulous Sale-a-bration papers that you can earn through the end of the month for free with a qualifying order.

This first card uses the Happy Thoughts stamp set (154507) and teams it up with the Field & Flower Designer Series Paper (155223).

The sentiment has been punched out using the Story Label Punch (150076) and has been layered onto another that has been punched out of Basic Black card stock for a shadow effect. A bit of shine has been added with the Basic Rhinestone Jewels (144220) and Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon (144213).

This next card uses our beautiful Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155222) and the Best Plaid Builder Die (152720).

Our Layering Ovals Dies (151770) and Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon (154283) highlight the sentiment – a beautiful card.

And finally a card created with our Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (155225) that has tons of texture.

Three embossing folders were used to give the banners different looks, Meadow Moments (153126), Ornate Floral 3D (1524725), and Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folders (152702) were used. Can you see them? The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay Classic Ink and cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690).

If you haven’t already you’ll want to check out this fun sentiment set, Happy Thoughts (154507).

It is filled with wonderful sentiments using some versatile fonts that coordinate with several punches too.

Sale-a-bration’s A Touch of Ink

Posted on February 14, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

The A Touch of Ink stamp set (Sale-a-bration 155233) is another great option for you when you place a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration and you get to pick your free product. A Touch of Ink combines a set with wonderful all occasion sentiments, images and give you a 2 step option for adding color too.

You’ll want to check out these wonderful cards created with this stamp set – after all who can resist butterflies and hummingbirds! This first card uses our Blending Brushes (153611) to add a simple band of color as a backdrop of these lovely sketched images.

A bit of texture has been added to the Granny Apple Green layer with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (153200) and the sentiment has been punched out with our new Double Oval Punch (154242) and added to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals to add some depth.

This next card uses the fun polka dot pattern from the Field & Flower Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 155223) and sets the color pallet for the card.

I love the water color look the 2 step stamps in this set have – the shading is done for you with one quick and easy stamp.

How about a soft and sweet look? Done in Purple Posy and Blushing Bride this next card has a completely different feel due to the colors chosen. The sentiment has a shadow effect since the sentiment has been cut out with the Ornate Frames Dies (150664) and popped up for a bit of color behind it.

The hummingbird has been colored using our So Saffron and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends for a bit strong coloring effect.

And how about the focal point being the flowers? I love the way this gives us just a hint of the hummingbird dropping by for a quick meal.

And today’s final card uses just the 2 step stamps to create this collage effect for this bright and bold card done in Gorgeous Grape, Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

Quick and easy the Gorgeous Grape 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon (154572) adds a bit of color and texture to the card. So what do you think? Which card is your favorite? There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to card making. It’s part of what I love with stamping our color choices an create such different looks with the same stamp set and our options are unlimited since the coordination Stampin’ Up! gives us allows for endless options based on what we like!

More Berry Blessings

Posted on February 6, 2021 by Stamp with Jini

During this cold winter weather it’s always fun to see the bright reds and blues of berries in my local grocery stores. It’s a sign and promise of what is to come and warmer weather. I’ve had blueberry bushes in my yard for years and always enjoy seeing those little bell shaped blossoms. I was surprised years ago while sitting in our local extension service class learning how to install the bushes to learn all the benefits of those little sticks we were going to pick up. After a few years not only did our bushes at our old house beginning give a bounty of berries they were pretty year round too. Even in the fall the leaves turn bright red before they fall off. How about you? Are you dreaming of soft summer breezes and fresh sweet berries from the yard?

Check out these lovely cards made using the Berry Blessings Stamp set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 157613). This first one uses a fun fold and our Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue.

And this next one uses Real Red to create these yummy raspberries. A bit of our Champagne Foil sheets and Basic Pearls adds a bit of shine.

And this last card is a fun way to use scraps,

So what do you think? Which card do you like best?
