Last Gasp - Sale-a-Bration

Last Saturday I held a pop up class - Last Gasp of Sale-a-Bration.  Despite the fact that I got the times wrong (been doing that a LOT lately!) I was in fact home when people arrived - and ready.  (I thought they were coming half an hour earlier!)

Sale-a-Bration finishes at the end of the month so I wanted to remind them of what they could get for FREE (and also remind you!)

Two of the most popular items from the first release are Party Pandas and the gorgeous Tutti Frutti notecards.  They partner perfectly to contrast the colourful with the black and white!

By far the most popular item in the second release is the Springtime Foil DSP.  Yummy!  For this card we brayered it with Basic Gray Archival Ink which really makes the metallics pop.

I love this DSP so much that we used it on another card which also featured the Blossoming Basket Bundle.  This bundle is free with a $180 order and featured the gorgeous flowers in a basket stamp set and the Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder.

The centre flower was stamped and fussy cut then popped up on Dimensionals.  We added some Wink of Stella and tiny pearls to finish off.  I love this card!

The last stamp set we played with was Eclectic Expressions.  This is one of those fun stamp sets where you build up the images on top of one another and the results are beautiful and soooo versatile.

To view the 1st and 2nd release SAB items, it's best to view the PDF by clicking HERE.

Stampin' Up! has also announced a 3rd release of products.  These are existing items from the catalogue but during SAB you can earn them for FREE.

Sale-a-Bration ends in two weeks!

Our most fantastic promo of the year ends in just two weeks.

To finish strong, Stampin' Up! has released a 3rd round of SAB offerings.  All SAB items are still available and these extras are catalogue products that might just be on your wish list...

One of the beautiful second release products is the Blossoming Basket Bundle.  So many of the samples show the basket coloured in but in my 'SAB Last Gasp' class tomorrow, we are making this card with NO COLOURING!  (not that I don't love to colour!)

This card uses the beautiful Springtime Foil Specialty DSP (another SAB item) and the Blossoming Basket stamp set - stamped in Soft Suede.  The middle flower is stamped again, fussy cut and popped up on dimensionals and then "Wink of Stella-ed" to give it that gorgeous shine.

And you might spy in the background the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder:  part of the Blossiming Basket Bundle FREE with a $180 spend during SAB.

If you'd like to place an order let me know.  You get freebees for every $90 spent.  And if you have a big wish list the best value is to JOIN UP!  It's a no brainer with more details HERE.

I would love you to join my team and I would LOVE  you to receive a great discount on your products every time you order!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper Angels Team Day! A Classy Event

Twice a year I team up with my Stampin' Up!® buddy and fabulous friend Bec to run a combined team day.  And we invite others from our wider team along too!

Here's Bec and I.  We dress like this all the time and carry silver letters. #wheatbix

Our aim is to provide a day of fun and inspiration where demonstrators can get together and STAMP!

We held three sessions of make and takes....

We had a couple of information sessions...

Participants would join in swaps of card fronts and or 3D items.  Here's one attendee's collection of 3D swaps.

Here are the make and takes in their sets...

These cards, using the Truly Tailored stamp set, went from clean and simple, to stepped up, to and "Outside, Inside, Envelope" card.

A set of notecards in a box is always a winner...

And these cards explored a variety of techniques with one stamp.

All up we had a fabulous day of "funraising."

Don't forget that joining my team during Sale-a-Bration gives you two extra free stamp sets AND you'll become part of a fabulous group of women and join in fantastic evens like this one!

What would I choose for the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit?

The Stampin' Up!® joining offer is always fantastic value and it's even better during Sale-a-Bration.

You pay $169! And you can choose anything from any of the current catalogues.

Here's an idea of what I would choose as a beginner stamper.

A set of the newest In Color Ink Pads (#114081) $47.50

 Add the matching cardstock pack (#144253)  $14.00 and you have a great colour range to start you off.

Some of our Whisper White card stock is a must - it's beautifully smooth and a dream to stamp on.

Whisper White A4 (#106549) for $15.75.

 And then some Memento Black ink (#132708) for crisp images. It's just $10.

Our glue runner or 'snail' (#104332) as we call it is a fast and easy way to adhere layers of cardstock.  It's refillable and costs just $10. 

 Blender Pens (#102845) are a wonder for water colouring and can pick up the ink from any ink pad.  $21

And we all love our Stampin' Trimmer (#129722) for precision cutting and scoring.  It sells for $50.

That's $169 worth of product!  But for your $169 you get to choose $66 more so that your total of product reaches $235.

I would add Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for $8.

A pack of Whisper White Envelopes (#106588) for $11.50.

Every stamper's essential tool - a Bone Folder (#102300) for $12.

A pack of Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) for $6. 

Paper Snips (#103579) for $17 - super sharp and perfect for fussy cutting.

And to embellish, some Linen Thread (#104199) for $8.00.

All of these items come in under $235 AND I get free shipping!

But wait, there's more!  During Sale-a-Bration I can also choose two stamp sets....for FREE!

I would go for the Letters for You stamp set (#141968) valued at $85 (but FREE for you!).  It's great for all sorts of occasions and to personalise cards and envelopes.

And the wonderful Petal Palette stamp set (#145788) which is worth $61.

Both of these stamp sets have matching framelits which I could add to my next order and receive 20% off!

All up my order contains goodies totalling $376! and I have paid $169.

Don't forget that you can choose ANYTHING you like for you starter kit and free stamp sets.  The offer is fully customisable.

The joining offer runs all year but the two extra stamp sets are only during Sale-a-Bration which runs till the end of March.  If you are interested in joining, you can jump online and join my team by clicking this link or copying and pasting it into your browser.

Below are some FAQs from a previous blog post!

Does joining sound scary?  I assure you it's not.  Here's some FAQs.

Q:  What do I get in my Starter Kit?
A:  Anything you want - make up a list of products you would like up to $235 from the NEW catalogue.  You pay $169.  A great way to get a HUGE discount!  During Sale-a-Bration you also choose two extra stamp sets (go for some biggies!) for FREE!  If you just want to order the starter kit, that’s fine.  Stop there if you want.

Q:  What happens after that?
A:  A brown box of fun stuff will arrive at your door about a week later.  And then you start playing.  Yippee!!

Q:  Do I have to sell a lot of products?
A:  Nope.  It’s up to you.  Many people sign up as Hobby Demonstrators - i.e. for the discount.  That's why I signed up originally.  You can purchase for yourself  or sell to friends and family.  As little or as much as you like.  If you want to try to sell more widely that's up to you.  You can try running classes or parties if you want. I will help you with this if you like.

Q:  What happens if I don't sell anything?
A:  Nothing:  there are no penalties for stopping or dropping.  If you were to sign up during Sale-a-Bration, you would have till the end of July to enjoy a 20% discount on any products.  If you buy/sell enough, you will then be an active demonstrator for the next quarter.  If you don't purchase or sell anything more, that's fine.  It really is up to you!

Q:  Why join?
A:  Cardmaking and scrapbooking are two of the best hobbies in the world!  By signing up to Stampin' Up! you become part of generous welcoming family of like minded people.  You are also welcome to be part of my team activities.  For me, it's my job and I have made so many friends and had so many wonderful experiences!

That new Sale-a-Bration bundle

Sale-a-Bration continues throughout February till the end of March.  The second release of products has begun and I have been playing with this beautiful bundle.

The Blossoming Basket Bundle includes the stamp set and the Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder.  I have inked up one side of the folder with a sponge brayer and Soft Suede ink before sending it through the Big Shot.

I love adding some shimmer with Wink of Stella!
