Perfectly Plaid Christmas Card With Trees

Perfectly Plaid Christmas Card With Trees

This Perfectly Plaid Christmas Card With Trees is one you can make with two stamp sets that will on sale at 15% off tomorrow, September 23 during the Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sale! This sale will only last 24 hours!

You can check out the list of select stamp sets that will be on sale on my blog post from yesterday HERE.

The sale will last basically for 24 hours on Wednesday, September 23, 2020—from 12:00 AM to 11:50 PM (MT) Remember, just select stamp sets but there are a lot to choose from.

For this Christmas card, I chose Garden Green for the card base with a layer of paper from the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. So many great patterns to choose from for cards in this collection!

The stamp set that will be on sale is the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set. This is a great Christmas set from last year that is now in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. There is a coordinating Pine Tree Punch that works great with the stamped trees if you want them to be cut out. I owned this Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set last year and used it a lot.

While that stamp set has lots of great holiday greetings, I also used another stamp set that will be on sale tomorrow for 24 hours, the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set. I LOVE all these Itty Bitty stamp sets! Sometimes you need a small greeting to fit on the card and these sets always have something I can use! In this Christmas set, I chose “Season’s Greetings” and then punched it out with the Classic Label Punch. To help offset it, I added a piece of Real Red behind it and snipped the ends to match the punched ends.

I stamped each tree and punched it out, then layered it on a small piece of Heartwarming Hugs DSP. Those are layered on a strip of Real Red Cardstock. To help that stand out, I added a strip of Whisper White top and bottom on the Real Red strip. The trees are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, the Minis and the Black ones.

If you need some stamp sets, make your list and check it twice! Save 15%! It’s something!

You also get a clear block for the stamps and two ink spots. If you wanted a gift for a crafter or potential crafter, you could even add some cardstock or notecards, maybe some adhesive, and you’ll have a great gift that the recipient can really get some good use out of!

The tin itself is 8″ x 8″ x 3″ and the colors are Gold, Grapefruit Grove, and Night of Navy. Tie a ribbon around it for a gift and it will be perfect! Or just treat yourself! At that price, you can get several if they are still available.

Flowering Foils Colored Flowers Cards

Flowering Foils Colored Flowers Cards

These Flowering Foils Colored Flowers Cards were so easy and fun to make, coloring with my Stampin’ Blends! I think coloring almost anything these days is good therapy to calm us from all the news in the world. And Stampin’ Blends really makes it fun!

We are at the last TWO days of Sale-A-Bration 2020! Today and tomorrow are the last days to earn FREE Stampin’ Up! products with a qualifying purchase. Spend $50 and choose one free item. Certain items have a $100 qualifying order. With a $150 order, you can choose Sale-A-Bration items PLUS Stampin’ Rewards. And with a $300 order, you can choose the Little Ladybug Stamp Set in addition.

The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is a beautiful choice for Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase. These papers are beautiful on their own, as in this card, with Rose Gold and Silver Foil accents. If you like, you can color the papers with various coloring methods. You can use the Aqua Painter and ink, markers, brayer, sponges, Sponge Dauber, and Stampin’ Blends.

For the cards I made today, I simply colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends markers. You can actually do it rather quickly because you don’t have to be perfect. The Stampin’ Blends do cover the foil outlines a little bit but that’s ok. For a lighter coloring over the whole area, use the Sponge Brayer. Or use Stampin’ Sponges (I cut mine into smaller pieces) or Sponge Daubers to apply ink in more specific areas.

Thoughtful Blooms Punched In Color Flowers Card

Thoughtful Blooms Punched In Color Flowers Card

Here’s another springtime card for you, the Thoughtful Blooms Punched In Color Flowers Card. Almost everything on this card is free with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration. In fact, the inspiration for this card started with a sample in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

In case you are new and have never heard of Stampin’ Up!’s big promotion called Sale-A-Bration, this is a favorite but is going to end on March 31. With every $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase, you can choose a free item in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. There are some higher value items, like the Small Bloom Punch that I used for this card, that are free with a $100 purchase. So with a $100 Stampin’ Up! purchase, you can choose either one $100 Sale-A-Bration item or 2 Sale-A-Bration items designated with a $50 emblem. No limit! And once you reach $150, you also get to choose Stampin’ Rewards!

This card starts with a bright yellow base, Pineapple Punch, one of the outgoing In Colors from 2018-2020. I decided to only use this group of In Colors since they will be retiring soon. On the Whisper White top layer, I have flowers of Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, and a Pineapple Punch flower also.

The Thoughtful Blooms Stamp Set, free with a $50 purchase, is the stamp set I used to stamp the flower stems and leaves and greeting. The flowers were stamped with Versamark Ink and then punched out with the Small Blooms Punch. Before I stamped the stems, I cut a strip of the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper, also free with a $50 purchase in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! It is a green backside of one of the lily designs and looks just like someone painted it with a watercolor brush. I thought it would be an interesting representation of grass!

To finish off the flowers, which were popped up on Mini Dimensionals, I added a Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel on each one. You can still purchase these, which came out in the Holiday Catalog, under the Holiday Favorites Category in the Online Store.

The sentiment also comes from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp set and has two rhinestones added also. All you have to do is change the greeting for another occasion because you can use a floral card for lots of things!

If you are interested in these In Colors, I would suggest ordering what you need, particularly ink refills NOW before the panic begins when the retirement list comes out. Sometimes the In Colors sell out quickly.

Also, don’t forget today is the last day to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin to get the March paper-crafting kit which has notecards to make and a very cute box! JOIN PAPER PUMPKIN HERE!

Lily Pad Flowers

This Stampin’ Up! card is made with the Lily Pad Dies, available during Sale-A-Bration for FREE with a $100 purchase. Just because something says “lily pad” doesn’t mean it has to look like lilies in a pond! If you have an order of $100 or more, you can choose two free $50 items or you can get this higher valued $100 selection.

These dies go with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper and the Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set. These are also Sale-A-Bration choices at the $50 level! So lots to choose from! The Lovely Lily Pad stamps are extra-special because they are reversible! This whole collection of products is really quite interesting. Wait until you hear about the designer paper!

Watch the Stampin’ Up! video below to learn about the Lily Pad products!

Just purchase $50 in Stampin’ Up! products and you can earn one FREE Sale-A-Bration product! No limit to the number of products you can earn so think of your order in $50 increments. You don’t want to get to $48 on your order and miss out on Sale-A-Bration! Sale-A-Bration is going on now through March 31.

Free Shipping Ad with Info Dec 2019

Stampin’ Up! surprised us this morning with the news that they will offer FREE SHIPPING on Wednesday, December 11th! Isn’t that something we all dream about when we are placing our orders?!

This special offer is ONE DAY ONLY! The good thing is you have time to think about your order until Wednesday and then be sure to get it in!

Details:

  • Orders, before tax, must be $50 or more in order to receive free shipping.
  • December 11, 2019 12:01 am (MT)–11:59 pm (MT)
  • If you are using a coupon code, please remember that the order amount must still meet the qualifying threshold (above) to be eligible for free shipping.
  • With the exception of month-to-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions, all Stampin’ Up! products qualify for the promotion, including year-end closeout.
  • Free shipping only applies during the 24-hour period the promotion is live in each market; this means that the order must be opened and closed on December 11, 2019. (This means do not start your order before the appointed time or the computer might not take the free shipping.)
  • Prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are eligible for FREE shipping under the same rules as all other Stampin’ Up! items during the promotion. (Even if you have a month-to-month subscription, you can, at any time, purchase a prepaid subscription in the Online Store which counts toward hostess rewards, if you are going to reach that level ($150 or more). Your month-to-month subscription will resume as soon as the prepaid subscription is used up.)
  • Month-to-month Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are NOT eligible for free shipping. Subscriptions billed and shipped for December will be charged for the normal amount ($22.00 usd shipping included) + tax. Important note: December Paper Pumpkin billing and shipment will be delayed until December 16 due to increased workload in the distribution center.

I think my blog FINALLY got fixed yesterday with one person fixing one thing and miraculously it was back! At least a test worked yesterday, we’ll see if this post publishes as soon as I push the button! So if you wondered where I was, my website was down! Hopefully, everything is back to normal today! Just in time for FREE SHIPPING from Stampin’ Up!
