Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sale TOMORROW, September 15!

One Day Only!

Yesterday we got word to make out our lists to get ready for the 24-Hour Stamp Sale at Stampin’ Up! tomorrow, Thursday, September 15, 2022! What do stampers love more than a sale on any of the products we use?! Each stamp set is 15% off.

I was under the impression this very long list of stamps was a “select” collection of sets on sale, but as I went through my catalog last night I realized that it was EVERY stamp set in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog except for the Host stamp sets in the back of the catalog. Maybe there is some other exception, but this is what I understand now.

The Holiday Mini Catalog is NOT included in the sale.

SEE THE LIST OF STAMP SETS ON SALE HERE!

In the photo above are some cards I made with current stamp sets that I still had in my stash. Some of these may be your favorites too or ones that you just haven’t purchased yet! Tomorrow is the time!

Here are the stamp sets I used on the cards above, starting at the top, in case you want to know:

Cup of Tea, Amazing Silhouettes, Celebrate Sunflowers, Sending Smiles, (maybe this one is retired), Color & Contour, True Beauty, Art Gallery, Jar of Flowers, Forever Fern, Beauty of Friendship, Hello Ladybug, Blessings of Home, Biggest Wish.

Hope I got those all right except for one! So many more to choose from, too!

Enjoy the day browsing through the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog and make a list for tomorrow! Don’t forget you can stack other bargains with the Stamp Sale, like the Perfect Partners Dies, the Weekly Deals, any Bundles you may want for World Card Making Day plus the FREE pearls (add to your order and they should come up free), the Clearance Rack, the new Gifting Christmas Kit Collection, and whatever else you want!

Happy Shopping!

“We created six new dies that coordinate with stamp sets in the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog and the July–December 2022 Mini Catalog. These coordinating dies will only be available during this promotion and will not be offered in any catalog.”

Stylish Sketches Duck Card

Stylish Sketches Duck Card

I’m not sure if these are ducks or geese on this Stylish Sketches Duck Card so you can think of them as whatever you like! I thought they were geese, then I saw several stampers calling them ducks! Whatever they are, you can get this Stylish Sketches stamp set FREE during Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration! With every $50 purchase of Stampin’ Up! products, you can choose a free Sale-A-Bration product. Not only do we have some remaining ones in the Sale-A-Bration brochure, but now we have some extra annual catalog products we can choose from!

This card is made with a card base of Soft Suede cardstock and is layered with another Sale-A-Bration free product with a $50 purchase. It’s the Silver & Gold 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. There are 24 sheets, 12 each of 2 designs. Half have silver foil in stripes or polka dots and the other half have gold. My paper is the gold stripe but I added some Stampin’ Blends stripes! I used Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, and Soft Suede. I drew them in just very casually and not carefully! Stampin’ Up! had a video showing ways to add more to this paper.

The ducks/geese were stamped in Memento Black on Basic White and colored in with Stampin’ Blends. Then it was die cut with one of the circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also cut out a Soft Suede circle to be a layer underneath. This piece is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The greeting is stamped in Soft Suede ink from the Lovely You Stamp Set. This is layered on the smallest scalloped rectangle die from the Scalloped Contours Dies. This would make a good masculine birthday card or Father’s Day.

Here are the extra current Sale-A-Bration Choices, while supplies last!

Stylish Sketches Fox Card

Leave a reply
Stylish Sketches Fox Card

Happy August! August means one more month of Sale-A-Bration at Stampin’ Up! so I thought I would post this Stylish Sketches Fox Card made with a FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set. There are a few things sold out in Sale-A-Bration choices but I expect to hear something about that today or tomorrow so stay tuned.

I wasn’t quite sure what to do with this fox, but I know my son likes foxes so I’m sure I can send this card to him! I initially thought there isn’t much to this Stylish Sketches Stamp Set, so maybe I should make the stamped area a little smaller. This stamp set has “sketches” of the fox, two geese, leaves, and if you happen to notice, some tiny dots that are good for texture for the ground, perhaps.

The card base is Cajun Craze and after working on the card for a while, and noticing those tiny dots, I decided to stamp those around the border on the card base. The front of the card is stamped on Basic White and layered on Granny Apple Green cardstock.

The Basic White piece is 4 1/4″ x 3″. The Granny Apple Green layer is 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″. That makes for a smaller stamped area for the fox and a wider border on the card base. The fox is stamped in Memento ink and colored in with Light and Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends. The grass on the stamp plus the area underneath is all colored with Light and Dark Granny Apple Green Blends, plus stamped with those little dots in green also. I colored around the fox with Light Pool Party Blend marker to resemble the sky. There is nothing artistic about it, I just scribbled back and forth! It matches the “sketchiness” of the way the fox was drawn! I felt it still needed something, so I stamped the bundle of leaves in Granny Apple Green ink and colored it very lightly with ink and a Blender pen. I wanted the leaves up there in the corner to add a little something to the picture but be very subtle.

For a greeting, I decided to tie around a piece of Linen Thread underneath the fox, two times around the Basic White piece, and tied on a greeting. Obviously, I needed a small greeting and I found one in the Cup of Tea Stamp Set. I stamped the little tag shape and the greeting, then just cut around the tag rather than diecut it. I put a Stampin’ Dimensional underneath it to hold it in place and face up.

Sale-A-Bration runs through the end of August! With every $50 purchase, you can choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item and with a $100 purchase, you can choose two $50 level items or one $100 level item. With a $150 order, you can choose Stampin’ Rewards of 10% PLUS Sale-A-Bration items!
