Salea-bration! Promotion August 3 - September 30, 2021 - Host and Join benefits

Hello JH Stamping Studio Crafters! I promised yesterday I would  provide a sneak peak of projects I made using products from the Salea-bration! brochure. 

Stampin' Up! is offering a 2nd Salea-bration! promotion for the first time starting August 3rd with the roll out of the Mini Aug-Dec catalog. Those of who are familiar with the annual Jan-Feb Salea-bration know this is a great opportunity to earn some free product. With each $50 in orders, you can earn one item from the Salea-bration brochure, select items require $100 in orders. 

I was immediately drawn to the Counting Sheep stamp set. I'm so happy they added die cuts to go with the set!! These are two separate items in the brochure, so $100 or more in orders will get you both the stamp set and dies. 

The die cuts come with a fence that is so cute!! There is also a balloon, flag, sun and clouds die cuts in addition to the 3 sheep and birthday hat included in the stamp set. 


I chose to stamp one of the sheep images onto the 2021-23 6x6 designer series paper in Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia. How cute did they turn out?!? I put strips of the same colors behind the white layer which is adhered with dimensionals. The balloons are die cut with coordinating paper  Melon Mambo, Mango Melody an Gorgeous grape. The same ink colors were used to stamp the birthday hat. I die cut them to adhere with mini dimensional onto the sheep's head. Lastly, I used the Create With Friends stamp set for the sentiment in the same inks. 

I thought I would use this design to make 15 swap cards to trade with my fellow DO Stamper Stars, but the card had more work to it than I wanted to duplicate on that many cards. Thinking of creating a similar card design, but without die cutting the sheep, I created the below card. 


This time I used all 3 sheep images and their birthday hats stamped onto basic White cardstock in different ink colors - left to right: Mango Melody, Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape. Same color in balloons displayed behind the sentiment. The Mango Melody layer behind the white really helps pop the colors. Base card is White thick cardstock. How fun is this!! I think of a young (or old) girl giggling when she receives this birthday card!! 
Salea-bration also adds additional host rewards. An exclusive free stamp set is free when you reach $300 or more in workshop sales, (see pg 17 of the Salea-bration brochure) Exclusive host only priced products have also been added in the Mini catalog, (see pg. 78). The exclusive host only priced products in the Annual Catalog are also available to choose from (see pg. 170-171). Workshop host rewards are highlighted below. You still earn a 50% off item on sales $450 and up (subject to limitations).

 
I'd love to work with you to schedule a creative workshop with me in the next two months. Contact me to discuss availability. I will do my best to create a successful workshop in order to help you maximize the eligible Host rewards. 

Joining the Stampin' Up! creative Community during Salea-bration always has its perks. You will still build you starter kit by selecting $125 in products for $99. The kit also incudes FREE business resources ($50 value) like catalogs, brochures, order forms, and postcards.


In addition to getting $26 in free product and $50 in free business resources, you are eligible to choose a free bundle from a selection of 12 bundles in the new Mini catalog. That's an additional value of $31.50 - $60.25, depending on which one you choose. See pg. 18-19 in the Salea-braton Brochure, highlighted below. That's a total value of $107.50 - $136.25 in free items! Additionally, your kit items are shipped to you free of charge, another 10% savings!

Stampin' Up! August- December 2021 Mini Catalog - Sneak Peak

Hello from JH Stamping Studio! I'm excited for the new Aug. - December Mini Catalog to go live in a little over 3 days. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is being able to pre-order items 30 days+ prior to the catalog going live. I've been busy playing with the items from my preorder and want to share.

While not every product in the new Mini is holiday related, the majority of items are. After all we have the major holiday of Christmas/Hanakkuh/Kwanzaa, the Thanksgiving holiday and let's not forget Halloween, which is becoming more and more popular to send cards or handmade items to hold treats for young an old alike. 

Page 53 of the new catalog has an adorable Halloween set called Clever Cats. I just could not resist the cats. On pg. 51 you'll find the Cute Halloween 6x6 designer series paper, perfect for any Halloween card. How cute is this card?? 

Next up is Thanksgiving. I went outside of my comfort zone and purchased the Sparkle of The Season Bundle which includes die cuts that coordinate with the stamp set (pumpkin, bats and stars in the Halloween card are from this bundle). What I like best is that I can make cards for all 3 holidays from this bundle. Additionally, I really liked the 3 different wreath die cuts. The Black and white gingham ribbon is also a new item from the catalog. The brick looking paper is from the Bloom Where Your Planted designer series paper. I can't wait to show you a Halloween and Christmas card using this bundle. 


Last and of course not least, the Christmas card. I had so much fun putting all these elements together. The Whimsy & Wonder 12x12 Designer series paper found on pg 25 in the catalog is stunning. The catalog photos really do not do it justice. So many non traditional colors to create holiday related projects. I used the iridescent silver paper for my background paper. I then added the Wonderful Snowflakes, also on pg. 25. These snowflakes are a must have for any of your winter creations!  


The stamp set is Holly Jolly Wishes, sentiment only set found on pg. 29 of the catalog. I love all of the sentiments in this set and plan to use many for my holiday cards. See the glittery paper behind the sentiment? This is the Be Dazzling 6x6 paper you can receive free with an order of $50 or more during Salea-bration, August 3 - September 30. There are many choices during Salea-bration, but this is one of 3 items that have limited quantities and will only be available while supplies last. 



Don't forget the inside of the card. The Whimsy & Wonder designer series paper has the cutest image of presents that I cut out and used on the inside. The sentiment is from Perfectly Plaid stamp set found on pg. 93 in the annual catalog. 

Watch for tomorrow's post sharing a sneak peak of products from the Salea-bration brochure. I will also highlight the incentive for hosting a workshop, along with a new incentive for joining the Stampin' Up!  demonstrator family, both promotions available during Sale-abration (3 August - 30 September 2021)
