I was so silly when choosing my free items from the Jan/Feb 2023 Sale-A-Bration catalog! Usually, I place a large supply order in January ( I stock up on my envelopes, adhesives, dimensionals, card stock and other consumables) to earn free Sale-A-Bration items on purchases I would normally make throughout the year. A 6 month Paper Pumpkin subscription always gets added to my order so I can earn a Free Sale-A-Bration item on that too! When choosing my free items, I really thought I could live without the Favored Flowers DSP. To be honest, I thought the paper was ‘too busy’ for me. I wound up selecting it anyway thinking I would only use the ‘other’ side with the subtle geometric patterns.

My first choice was the Dainty Flowers and I was waiting very impatiently for that to arrive! Well my order came today, and as I was unpacking it, the first thing I went to was the Favored Flowers DSP. Those flowers! They were so striking I just had to cut that gorgeous paper up to use those flowers! Those flowers I thought I didn’t like. They are just so gorgeous! Silly me! Turns out that I can’t live without that paper!

The first card I made was using the Calypso Coral hues. I did balance the busy floral side with the more subtle geometric side to create the perfect blend to really make those gorgeous flowers stand out without overwhelming the whole card. The sentiment and label shape are from the Potted Geranium bundle. I hope you like this as much as I do!

Let me show you what I made:

I used the same layout for the 2nd card I made:

This time I used the Blackberry Bliss colored flowers and a sentiment from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set which you can also get for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I added a ribbon here so I could play along with the #TicTacToeChallenge, #TTTC194. I used the Diagonal line of Patterned Paper, Flowers & Ribbon/Bow for my entry.

You can check out all the TicTacToeChallenge entries at their website.

Lastly, I fussy cut a flower from this DSP and propped it against a black background textured with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

The Favored Flower DSP (# 160833) is a 12×12 pack that is FREE with a qualifying purchase of $50 or more. You can shop my online store here to stock up on essentials, or treat yourself to something on your wish list, and get this paper just as quick as you can! I was so silly to think I could live without this paper, but you don’t have to be also!

Sale-A-Bration Shopping Improvements 

As this year’s second Sale-A-Bration event approaches, we’d like to provide clarification about the checkout process.

To enhance the shopping experience, we’ve made improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping. When shopping the Online Store during Sale-a-Bration from 3 August to 30 September—the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.

Once a customer has finished shopping and reviewed their cart, they will be alerted about their Sale-A-Bration earnings. When they proceed to checkout, they will then select their Sale-A-Bration items. They will not be able to continue the checkout process until they have either selected their free products, or acknowledged the option to proceed to checkout without free products. This was adjusted in order to prevent customer confusion and ensure customers pick their free products.

For more information about this change, please watch the walkthrough video below.

Yes, today is the day you can start ordering from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. Click here to access my online store and place your order.

What do you call a group of Butterflies? Some people call a group of butterflies a Kaleidoscope, but at Stampin’ Up! we are calling it a Butterfly Bouquet! Yes, you’ll get a kaleidoscope of colors and butterfly species, AND you’ll get a sneak peek of new products from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog AND a few exclusive products during the Butterfly Bouquet Promotion now through May 3rd (or while supplies last). Let’s take a look:

The Products…

Take a look at some sample cards…

So, let me ask…what do you call a group of butterflies? I’d call it a limited time offer that you don’t want to miss! Order your Butterfly Bouquet bundle today! You can order the whole collection here.

Then, when I ask what do you call a group of butterflies? You can call it your own!

So I was asked if I offer Gift Certificates by relatives of one of my customers, and of course my answer was YES! OF COURSE I OFFER GIFT CERTIFICATES! Not only do I offer Gift Certificates, but I usually make a special Gift Certificate Holder to go along with it. So I made 2 special gift certificate holders and I’d like to share one of them with you today. I waited until I knew my customer received her gift before revealing it publicly here. So here goes;

I love the Sentiments in the Peace & Joy Bundle – you can cut out skinny words and 2 sizes of backgrounds for each word, plus there are other words that you can combine to make all sorts of phrases. This bundle is retiring and may sell out so if you are considering it; now’s the time to grab it! The Gold Hoop Embellishments are a great way to make a focal point stand out even more so! The Heartwarming Hugs DSP is a great background for this card. If you enjoy fussy cutting, then you’ll have as much fun making this card as I did! The leaves and holly berries were cropped out with a quick snip from my paper snips!

You can shop my online store here to snag this bundle and the DSP before it’s gone.

The 2021 Jan-June mini catalog and the Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-A-Bration catalogs begin in just a few short days. If you haven’t gotten your catalogs in the mail as of yet, they will be available to view online right here on Jan 5th.
