#DOSWTS379 - Sale-A-Bration Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today I’m sharing a simple birthday card using the Calming Camellia host stamp set to show you how simple it is to earn FREE product during Stampin’ Up!’s January – February 28, 2022 Sale-a-Bration Promotion. This card is CASE'd (Copy & Share Everything) from Mary Fish of Stampin' Pretty. I thought it was so pretty, I altered very little of her design and color choices.

The Calming Camellia Stamp Set (158117) is the FREE Host Set from pg. 17 of the catalog. It is earned for FREE with a qualifying order of $300 or more.

Additionally, in this card I used the SIMPLY MARBLEOUS designer series paper! The pack includes soft, pastel, realistic marble imagery, with one side revealing a more realistic marble and the other side a more artistic marble. The Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper is only available for a limited time and is FREE when you spend $50 (before shipping & tax).

I cropped a piece of Highland Heather Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the largest Scalloped Contours Die. Additionally, a piece of Basic White card stock has been cropped with the 2nd largest Scalloped Contours Die.

The tips for stamping this beautiful Camellia floral image from the stamp set in Highland Heather ink is to use your Stamparatus to position the flower for stamping on the die cut piece of basic white. After inking up the stamp, dab the outer edge every so lightly with a sponge dauber which removes the ink to help create softer lines on the edges of the image. Layer onto the Marbelous layer with dimensionals and layer both onto white card base with dimensionals

Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Highland Heather card stock. Cover with White Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool. Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the All Dressed Up label die. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Embellish with Clear Dots from the Sliver & Clear Epoxy Essentials and you've got a beautiful birthday card!!

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration to create a card the new products from Sale-A-Bration.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop January 2022 - Decorative Borders

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today's theme for Decorative Borders is brought to you by Sherry Roth.

I'm back to my favorite subject to scrapbook, my granddaughter. More often than not, the photo inspires my layout. In this instance, I ended up figuring out what to do with my border theme first and then selected the photo I thought fit best with the border.

I was searching through Pinterest, a favorite site to look for ideas, and saw a patchwork type of layout that had stitching on it. I do not sew/stitch, but it got me thinking how could I used the stitched dies to give it that look? I also recalled that I recently created a bunch of square like paper scraps from creating cards and thought maybe I had enough to use in a layout. I pulled out all my scraps, started die cutting with the smallest shape in the Stitched rectangle dies and I had enough to create the border!!

Once the border was done, that's when I recalled this photo of my granddaughter at the Teddy Bear Park. I thought it was neutral enough to work with all the different patterns/colors in the paper squares. However, it still needed something behind the photo and in the blank space around it. The Polished Pink DSP color worked best. Looking through my new stamp sets I recently bought for sentiments or decorative stamping options, the Calming Camellia was perfect. Note: This set is free to the host with an order or workshop of $300 or more! I recall seeing the curly que image and I absolutely loved the sentiments. Pool Party seemed to be the other best color to compliment the layout and so I stamped 2 colors each in the corners.

I also thought it needed some ink flecks and decided to use my black marker to fleck some off the tip with the cap. This allows for smaller, random flecks. The sentiments are inked in black onto pool party paper that I trimmed and laid as a diamond, keeping with the background to the photo.

Last but not least, I added some in-color gems and basic rhinestones. I'm really pleased with how this layout turned out along with figuring out another way to use up scraps that don't seem to get used, yet I can't make myself toss them- LOL

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration for your projects.

See product list below. Note: I did not include a list of the variety of Designer Series Paper scraps I used in this layout. Shop my store 24/7. Orders under $150 use the January Host code AJ4JTRBQ or give me a call to place your order in this workshop. Orders of $50 or more will qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration item. Orders at $65 or more also qualify for my VIP gift of Classic Matte Dots.

DO Stamper Stars 2022 Jan- June Mini Catalog Card Swap Inspiration

Hello Crafters!

After sharing the Sale-A-Bration product card swaps, I thought I'd share the card swaps we exchanged using product from the new 2022 Jan - June Mini catalog. This catalog has so many products to love, I don't think I've bought this many products from a catalog in a long time. It features many products to cover the major holidays over the next 6 months: Valentines, Easter, Mothers day, etc. It includes many beautiful floral stamp sets and papers along with several stamp bundles incorporating landscape/nature/water elements and cute critters. I'm sure you'll find something to love that you'll want to create with.

The majority of us do not have an unlimited budget to purchase new product. By participating in a card swap, we receive other samples from other demonstrators that sign up of other product we do not have. It also gives creative ideas for using the product.

First up is the Artfully Composed Suite found on pg. 32 -33 of the catalog. These swaps highlight the Artfully Layered Bundle and Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper. Note: The white frayed ribbon is currently not orderable until week of 1/24, therefore the suite cannot be ordered.

These next 2 cards are from the Hello Ladybug bundle found on pg. 20 of the catalog. This ladybug has lots of options for decorating and adding to really any type of card. I'm sure we'll be seeing lots of creativity using this bundle.

Next is a fold card using the Love & Happiness bundle found on pg. 11 of the catalog. This bundle has both a set of dies and the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing folder that you can use the main heart die inside the embossing folder to cut out an embossed heart. This card also uses paper from the Sweet Talk designer series paper. Note: the embossing folder and therefore the bundle is not orderable until sometime after 1/24.

You can see how she used the heart die to cut the designer series paper so that the embossed heart peeks through the front of the card.

Open the first fold and see all the beautiful embossed features.

Open the 3rd fold and the die cut heart from the front paper is added as an accent. What a clever design!

Keeping with the love theme, since I already highlight my Viking Valentine card swap in a prior post, I created a simple card and Sweet Little Box from the Sweet Talk Collection of products found on pg. 8-10 of the catalog. This suite is so versatile for valentines and love themed cards. I am having a lot of fun creating with it. Ghiradelli has mini heart shaped chocolates, packaged up in 3 flavors. I found that 3 of them fit in a box. Note: The Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon and Iridescent Rhinestones from this collection are on low inventory.

Next is the Tulip Fields Bundle found on pg. 17 of the catalog. This also belongs to the Flowering Fields Suite of products on pg. 14-17 to purchase all of these gorgeous products in one suite to create with. This windmill really is a fun element on the card as you can turn it, albeit carefully. I also love the added touch of the small bike.

Next is the Paradise Palms stamp set, that also has a bundle price with the Palm Dies, found on pg. 25 of the catalog. This set has a sentiment for Retirement, which is not an easy sentiment to locate and the theme fits perfectly. I think it could also coordinate well several of the other landscape sets. Namely, On The Horizon pg. 43 and Oceanfront pg. 39.

Speaking of which, I did not receive any swaps using the Ocean Front and/or New Horizons Bundle but I received these products in my first order after the catalog went live. This type of stamping/design is totally outside my comfort zone, but I really loved it and will be highlighting this card in a future blog post and possibly a video.

This next card swap used the Sentimental Swirls stamp set found on pg. 56 of the catalog. This set has a lot of versatility to it and coordinates with the Flowers & Leaves punch on pg. 148 of the annual catalog.

Last, but not least, is a card using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle found on pg. 18 of the catalog and coordinates so well with the Sunshine & Rainbows 6x6 designer series paper in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Buy this bundle for $44, add an embellishment for $6 or more and you can get the paper free with your order. Note: This card was ripped during mail delivery processing.

This is just a sampling of what is in the catalog. I'm certain I'll be highlighting more cards form products I have bought from this catalog. Contact me if you need a demonstrator and do not have a catalog, I am happy to provide you with one and inspire you to create with your products.

Place an order for $50 or more from any current catalog during Sale-a-Bration to take advantage of choosing select products from the Sale-A-Bration brochure for free. Orders at $65 or more also qualify for my VIP gift of Classic Matte Dots.

Orders under $150 use the January Host code AJ4JTRBQ or give me a call to place your order in this workshop.
