Stampin' Up! Vintage Sycamore Street Card

This 3-1/2" x 5-1/2" card features not one, but three different Sale-a-bration products that you can get for free when you order $50 or more during Sale-a-bration.

I made this card for our group's Sale-a-bration swap. I love that we organize swaps whenever a new catalog is released. I can do the work of designing and making one card and then end up with a bunch of different cards to show off new products to my customers. We also swap at our monthly meetings. Wanna swap with us? Join my team and participate in our next swap!

Tip: Dying Flower Trim with Stampin' Up! Marker

Did you see my post earlier with the Stampin' Success article about dying embellishments? Here's another way to dye the new Flower Trim from Stampin' Up! -- use a Stampin' Write Marker!

I love the look of just coloring the edges of the flower "petals". It's easy to achieve by simply brushing your marker tip over the flower. Use a Paper Piercer or Paper Snips to hold the flower in place as you color with the marker.

This is one of the cards in my Stamp of the Month Club series for January. I had so much fun designing these cards with the brand new Spring Catalog products. Can you spot all of the new goodies I used on this card?

There are 19 free gifts to choose from during the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration promotion. Which one is your favorite?

I truly can't decide. I love that they are all so different! Vintage Verses is definitely at the top of my list. On this card, I used it with Feeling Sentimental stamp set, also a Sale-a-bration gift choice. I stamped the phone booth in Jet Black Staz-On Ink and then used Real Red ink and an Aquapainter to watercolor in the lines.

More Amore Scallop Envelope Valentine Treat

These Valentine treats come together quickly with the Scallop Envelope die and laser-cut More Amore hearts!

Remember the Christmas Scallop Envelope Treat I posted in December? I dressed up this version for Valentine's Day using products from the new Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog. This was one of the projects we made in Stamp Club this month.

The new Designer Builder Brads are so pretty! And very easy to use! We stamped the heart from Itty Bitties and punched it out with the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shape Punch Pack. A Mini Glue dot holds it on the brad and then we placed the clear "bubble" over it.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Itty Bitties, Itty Bitty Banners, Real Red ink, Party ink & cardstock, Very Vanilla cardstock, More Amore Designer Paper (including laser-cut hearts), Full Heart Punch, Bitty Banners Framelits (Big Shot), Scallop Envelope Die (Big Shot), Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Designer Builder Brads, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Patterned Occasions Party Favor Box

This favor box may not be big enough for a cupcake, but it's the perfect size for some candy or a small gift!

The sanded chevron-embossed Core'dinations cardstock adds just the right texture to this clean and simple box. The Fancy Favor Box is cut with the Big Shot, and assembly requires just a few pieces of Sticky Strip. It's fast and easy! That's my kind of project!

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Patterned Occasions (Sale-a-bration), Melon Mambo marker & cardstock, Crumb Cake marker & cardstock, Pool Party marker & Core'dinations Cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Soft Suede marker, Fancy Favor Box die (Big Shot), Chevron Embossing Folder (Big Shot), Stampin' Sanding System, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Melon Mambo Striped Ribbon, Rhinestone Jewel Accents, Sticky Strip, Stampin' Dimensionals

Sale-a-bration Favorites: Vintage Verses Just Because Card

Pop Quiz: Can you spot all the new Sale-a-bration products I used on this card?

Do you see them all? The obvious one is the Sycamore Street Designer Paper. I think this pattern is my favorite! And the "Just Because" is part of the Vintage Verses stamp set. The Rich Razzleberry Button is part of the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack. And did you catch the little bit of embossing on the right side? I used the Vine Street Embossing Folder to add some texture and balance out the card.

During Sale-a-bration, you can get ALL of those products for FREE! One for every $50 that you order. Click here to shop in my Online Stampin' Up! Store now!

Note: The card size is 3" x 5-1/2". I used a leftover piece of cardstock and folded it in half. It's okay that the flower sticks over the edge of the card because it will still fit in a regular Medium size envelope.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Vintage Verses, Whisper White cardstock, Summer Starfruit Cardstock, Rich Razzleberry ink & cardstock, Pool Party cardstock, Crumb Cake cardstock, Sycamore Street Designer Paper, Vine Street Embossing Folder (Big Shot), Blossom Punch, 1-1/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals
