Sale-a-bration January and February 2022

We are nearly three weeks in to the January and February 2022, have you seen the gorgeous items available from Stampin’ Up!? There are some gorgeous items which are available for FREE with a £45 or £90 spend. As with previous Sale-a-brations there is a gorgeous mix of papers and stamps.

Some of the items are stand alone and some of them co-ordinate or compliment items from the Annual or January to June Catalogue. There are some gorgeous items out there using all the new items and freebies.

The Sunshine and Rainbows DSP is something that I have seen so many gorgeous items created on Pinterest. They are definitely one of my favourite items in the Sale-a-bration offering

I am also loving the Friendly Hello Bundle which I can not wait to play with when I can get back into my craft room.

Sale-A-Bration Foil Sheets

Over the last few weeks I have discovered the beauty of the Sale-a-bration Foil sheets. It is one of the choices available in the sale-a-bration deal! Until March 31st you can choose the Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove foil sheets for free if you spend £45 (before postage and packing). I love the way it catches and reflects the light especially if you use an embossing folder. Another reason to choose this as your free item is that you get four sheets of each colour Lovely Lipstick and Grapefruit Grove in 12” x 12.”

I have to confess I did struggle at first, I don’t use a lot of foil, but after spending sometime pining pins on Pinterest and CASEing a few designs, I then created some items I love. The video below shows my creations.

It is a must have for your stash and works on cards all year round, from Valentines to Christmas.

But it is not Saturday!

I apologise that the Lovely Lattice Video was not uploaded on Saturday, it was a crazy day and I ran out of spoons (I am a not so secret Spoonie!)

As I mentioned last week, one of the gorgeous Sale-a-bration items is Lovely Lattice. I love the gorgeous floral stamps and have been making some examples using the 3 stamps in the stamp set.

I have been pinning ideas on pinterest for weeks before I made some cards. I love the inspiration, I loved the embossed cards although I had to hide my heat gun or all the cards would have been embossed.

I did struggle coming up with ideas for the smaller stamps, but overall I am very happy with the cards I created. The video below shows the cards I have made.

Do you ever want to make lots of cards using the same technique? What is your favourite?

Botanical Butterflies

I adore this Sale-a-bration item, I may have a few packets of this 12"x 12”  designer series paper. The pack contains twelve sheets, two each of six different double-sided designs.

I love all the sides of the paper, they are Coloured on one side but black and white on the other, so you can add colour if you wish to. I have used Blends, Stampin’ Write markers and Water colour pencils, they all look amazing!

Some of the papers also have designs with butterfly which co-ordinate with the Butterfly Duet Punch. The punch is still un-orderable, however, it should be orderable soon. The images are quite simple to fussy cut. I don’t normally fussy cut images but these were simple. Alternatively you could use a cutting machine if you have one.

The videos below give an overview of the suite and also shows some of the examples that I have made using the papers.

I have another video showing how to make the Hershey holder, it is so cute. I hope that you like my examples I adore this paper.

Elements and Butterflies

I have to confess I have really enjoyed playing and designing items including the Butterfly Elements. I loved them from the first time I saw them. The Butterfly Elements, are FREE with a £45 spend, before postage and packing. They were at the top of my free Sale-a-Bration item list along with the Botanical Butterfly DSP.

Although they correspond with the Butterfly Gala bundle, both the stamps and punch, they also can make gorgeous cards without them. As they are available as one of the Sale-a-bration items they are available until the 31st March or whilst stocks last. Stampin’ Up! Have advised Demonstrators that the Butterfly elements are going fast and that they might not last until the end of Sale-a-bration.  So stock up now if you like them, if you haven’t got the Butterfly Duo punch yet, it will should be orderable again in March, but the elements might be gone by then so don’t miss  out!

On Thursday I explained a few ways you are able to add colour to these Wooden Elements, there are 84 pieces on 5 sheets in this Sale-a-bration item. The elements include fabulous flowers, foliage and different sizes of butterflies and butterfly outlines.

The videos below show the items I have made and an overview of the elements.

I love these elements as you can see from my examples, not only do the elements look amazing on cards.  You can add them on to gift wrapping, 3D projects or you may have seen the amazing examples, where they have been made into scissor charms. I have some left, so you may see them popping up in my examples over the next few weeks!
