Lasting Lily Sale-A-Bration
Hello Stampers!
Give or take, there’s just about 20 days to take advantage of Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration Sale. Remember, you earn FREE items when you make purchases of $50 or $100 (before tax and shipping). There a lot of awesome selections including stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, and more.
This card uses the Lasting Lily photopolymer stamp set. It’s available FREE with a $100 purchase. Just imagine yourself creating beautiful cards with this set. The sentiments are geared toward sympathy and get well, but I can see using the lily images for Easter and spring cards, as well.
Kellie Mallam created this sympathy card using Petal Pink and Soft Seam Foam. One item to note is that she stamped the image on Whisper White Card Stock and ran the piece through the Subtles Embossing Folder. This folder gives the card just a nice bit of texture.
Did you know this set also has coordinating framelits? The framelits are available until March 31 for $27. Framelits for other Sale-A-Bration offerings have been in high demand, so you’ll want to order them soon if they are on your wish list.

Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks for stopping by today!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Cups (#1148573)
Hello Stampers!
Stampin’ Up! Sweet Cups have been available in the Occasions Catalog since early January. But until recently, I hadn’t given them a second look. Now, I can’t get enough of them! (They come in a package of 10 for $8.50.)
The Sweet Cups offer a clean slate so you can decorate them anyway you like. See this post for a cute dog treat packet.
I created this container to celebrate a birthday. This would work well at a birthday party filled with any kind of favor, including the chocolate pictured here. (This chocolate is a Nebraska product, Baker’s Chocolate. The different colors signify different flavors.)
The wrap around the bottom comes from the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. I added a Pearlized Doily (did you know you can get two packages of these free during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 order?) and a hat stamped from the Birthday Cheer stamp set, colored with select Stampin’ Blends. I added a layer of Wink of Stella to make the hat pop!
Stampin’ Up! has created a sleeve template, making it easy to trace and adhere any Designer Series Paper to the cup. Contact me, and I’ll send you a PDF file to print your own.

#simplestamping for baby
Hello Stampers!
With all of Stampin’ Up!’s coordinating stamps, ink, paper, and embellishments, it’s easy to create beautiful cards. But there are times when you need a quick and simple card.
Here, I’ve created a #simplestamping card. Just rubber stamps, ink, paper, and a touch of ribbon.
I’ve used the Little Elephant stamp set and the coordinating colors of Night of Navy and Smoky Slate and added the Night of Navy Gingham ribbon.
See the photos at the end of this post for a list of the products I used to create this card.
Last Month of Sale-A-Bration
If you like free products, Sale-A-Bration is a great time. There are more free products available than ever with $50 and $100 purchases (before tax and shipping).
Here’s a link to the brochure with the offerings. (Sorry, a few items were so popular, they sold out: Butterfly Elements, foil paper, organdy ribbon, and Parcel Post Kit.)
On Friday, Stampin’ Up! announced a third round of items. See that list here.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Please let me know if you have questions.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Tails Bundle. Item number: 150631. Bundle Price (save 10 percent): $31.50.
Hello Stampers!
I’ve been having a lot of fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Happy Tails Bundle found on page 33 in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. From treat packets to cards, it lends itself to a variety of projects, including dog sympathy cards.
Purchase the Happy Tails Stamp Set and Dog Builder Punch as a bundle and save 10 percent. The bundle price is $31.50 before shipping and tax. If you’re a dog lover, I know you’ll get your use out of these products.
- The card base is Crumb Cake card stock stamped in Crumb Cake ink with the Crackle Paint background stamp.
- I adhered a scrap piece (3 ½ inches x 2 ¼ inches) of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to the base.
- On a piece of Very Vanilla, measuring 4 x 1 ½ inches, I stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink.
- I punched the dog from Basic Black card card stock and adhered to the Very Vanilla.
- I added a red heart and Black Baker’s Twine.
- I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the Very Vanilla piece.
That’s it! Done!

Happy Tails Treat Cups
Hello Stampers!
I had a really fun in-home class this week featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Happy Tails Bundle—the stamp set and coordinating Dog Builder Punch. For each class, I love to give everyone a welcome treat. Most often, it includes chocolate. But dogs can’t have chocolate, so I prepared a treat for all of our four-legged friends out there.
This project uses Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Cups. There are 10 undecorated cups in each package for $8.50. That’s a great bargain. You can then decorate them any way you like. To help you add Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the cup, Stampin’ Up! released a PDF template. Contact me, and I’ll send you one via email.
I printed the template (recommended at 100 percent), trimmed out the pattern, placed the pattern over my Designer Series Paper, and then hand cut. I rolled the piece around the cup and adhered with Stampin’ Up!’s Tear and Tape.
For this cup, I used the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper, available free as a Sale-A-Bration item with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping). At first look, you might think this paper features only butterflies, but the flip side offers some great basic, black-and-white designs.
For a look at all of the products I used in today’s treat for your pup, look at the thumbnail graphics below. Click on any of them to be taken directly to my online store where you can shop 24/7.
The Happy Tails Bundle is offered at a 10 percent discount (for $31.50) when you purchase it as a bundle.
Please let me know if you have questions. I’m happy to help!
