It’s almost time to Sale-A-Brate!!!!
Can you feel the excitement in the air???? Our biggest sale of the year is just around the corner. Ever year Stampin’ Up! has a Sale-A-Bration (SAB) sale where you can get FREEEEEEEEEE stamps!!! How fun is that?!
As a customer, for every $70 you spend- you’ll get to pick out of 5 different stamps sets or a package of awesome rub-on’s for free. You can see the SAB flyer HERE. Our hostesses also get to earn more free stamps than usual…for every $400 in workshop sales, they get a free SAB stamp set too. Can I hear…whooohooo for free stamps!
I’ve started to play with my stamps and did I forget to mention as a special touch, SU has die-cut all the SAB stamps. You’ll be stamping in minutes when you get them!
The 2 cards below are using the stamp set called Friendship Blooms, a set of 5 fun stamps.
This first card was so fun to make! TIP ALERT: I used post it notes to mask off the portion of the white cardstock that I didn’t want inked and then used a dauber to pick up the ink off the pad and added it to the middle of the white. I stamped all my images before removing my post it notes. I then colured with marker and added glitter to the flowers…all flowers have to sparkle, don’t you think?!
This second card uses the same flower and stamped on vanilla cardstock. I coloured the flower using a aquapainter and the ink from the lid of my ink pad. I added some more glitter and one of my favourite accessories- Rhinestone Brads!
Let me know what you think!!!! Josee
Creative Scrap Page
This scrapbook page created by Sue Teed (one of my club members) uses the Creative Licence Simply Scrappin’ Kit from the last catalogue. What I love about the Stampin’ Up! Scrappin’ Kits is how all the colours in the die-cuts coordinate with the cardstock in the package. Everything is meant to coordinate beautifully and it really does make creating scrapbook layouts so easy.
All the cardstock in the packages included are textured which adds that special touch to your page. 
Isn’t Sue’s son absolutely adorable!!
Thanks for sharing! Josee
Out of the Box Stamping
Today, I thought I’d share 2 great examples of how fun it is to use your stamps in unique way’s!
The first sample uses the heart from our Level 3 Hostess Set- Time Well Spent. Don’t you just love it? (Shared by Tracie St. Louis)
The second sample used the stamps from Pick a Petal. Who would of thought of using the flower petals as ears?! (Sample shared by Linda Palisek)
Time to go look at your stamps and find unique way’s to use them!

Cards by my 7 year old daughter
My 7 year old daugher just got some pen pals this past week. They’ve agreed to hand stamp a card for each other each month and write a small note. She’s so excited. She loves to stamp and always wants to join my card swaps. I thought this would be a good alternative for her.
She even looked at splitcoaststampers to find a card to case this idea. So cute!
This card she designed all by herself. I think she’s going to be a future demonstrator some day, don’t you?! lol
PLEASE leave her a comment and let her know how great they are, she’d love to hear!
Have a HAPPY STAMPING DAY! Josee
