I can’t believe Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration has been underway for a month already! Just one more month left to earn free exclusive rubber stamp sets and Designer Series Paper packages with minimum purchases.
SaleABration has always been my favorite time of the year. When it first started years ago, I saved my Christmas money and my birthday money and splurged during this promotion. I received all of the offerings as well as the host set.
Earn any of the first seven products free with a minimum $50 purchase (before tax and shipping). The last two items on the graphic can be earned free with a minimum $100 purchase before tax and shipping. Collect them all.
Do you have a long wish list from Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog or January-June 2022 Mini Catalog? Have you thought about purchasing Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit? Choose $125 worth of ANY product free and pay just $99 + tax (shipping is included). In addition, during SaleABration, choose two additional stamp sets free. This is a great value and a chance to get more for your money.
After purchasing the starter kit, you receive a 20 percent discount on your future purchases. No need to host parties or workshops or sell to anyone — unless, of course, you want to. Just enjoy your discount.
When you buy the starter you kit, you also join a community of like-minded people who share your love of paper crafting. Stampin’ Up! offers a host of benefits to its demonstrators. And, you get to be a member of Kim’s Paper Krafters, my awesome group of demonstrator friends. Contact me to learn more. Or click this link to start the process. This offers ends February 28, 2022.

Welcome to Team Stamp It’s January Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us. This month, we feature Valentine and love-themed cards and projects. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop and leave a comment with the #hashtag #stampitcontest. You could win a Lots of Happy card kit. See the list of hoppers at the end of this post. Prepare to be inspired!
When I moved to Arizona more than 2 1/2 years ago, I had no idea how beautiful the cactus plants are here in the desert. It’s amazing to see all of the different varieties and their beautiful blooms. Now, I like to include cactus images for a variety of greeting cards, including Valentine’s Day.
Cactus Cuties Valentine Card
In addition to the Cactus Cuties Bundle, I also used the:
Sweet Conversations stamp set and the Sweet Heart Dies. (Buy these as a bundle and save 10 percent.)
Daffodil Delight 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (free with a $50 order before tax and shipping during SaleABration
Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder
I stamped the cactus with Old Olive ink onto Old Olive card stock and fussy cut it. And, I stamped the pot with Real Red ink onto Real Red card stock and punched it with the coordinating punch.
See this blog post for additional Valentine’s Day card samples using the Sweet Talk Suite.

I just love treat packages! From boxes to bags and more! So, I purchased many packages of Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Little Boxes available in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. You receive 10 boxes for $10.
They are about the same size as the little boxes filled with conversation hearts. And you can decorate them any way you want. Fill them with anything you want — from chocolate to gift cards.
Today, I share four of the boxes I’ve decorated. Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post.
My first box draws on my love of cactus as a rather new Arizona resident. Stampin’ Up!’s new Cactus Cuties Bundle makes this really fun.
I also used the:
sentiment from the Sweet Talk stamp set;
heart from the Sweet Hearts Dies;
patterned paper from the Daffodil Afternoon 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (available free with a minimum $50 purchase before tax and shipping during SaleABration). This piece measures 7 inches by 3 1/4 inches.
The above box uses the same supplies except for the Designer Series Paper. This comes from the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper, available in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog as a host selection.
The box above uses elements from the Sweet Talk Suite as well as the Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain and the Supple Shimmer 12 x 12 Specialty Paper.
For the box above, I die cut a circle with Stampin’ Up!’s Layering Circles Dies and added a Window Sheet before I put the box together.
