Farewell to Sale-A-Bration 2016!

This is the final day of Sale-A-Bration 2016! I can't believe it is here already! I wanted to share one last Sale-A-Bration project with you. The final project is a CASE from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. It is the gift bag from page 14 featuring the Honeycomb Happiness stamp set.

Craft with Beth: Sale-A-Bration Honeycomb Happiness You're So Sweet Gift Bag

 I wanted to say thank you to all of my customers! I have the best customers! Thank you for helping me achieve and far exceed my Sale-A-Bration goals! I am so appreciative of all of you! Without you this would not have been possible!

I changed the gift bag into a coordinating card. The color scheme is Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron, Whisper White, and Blushing Bride.

The card base is stamped with the balloon stamp using Versamark ink then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The striped banner is from the 2015-2017 In Colors DSP. I cut the striped paper on the diagonal to make the stripes look vertically oriented instead of diagonally oriented. The strip is 2" x about 8". Once the strip was cut, I punched the end using the Triple Banner Punch. I glued the banner on the cardbase, leaving the excess cardstock hanging off the top. After the glue dried, I trimmed the excess cardstock with paper snips.

The ice cream tag is a 2" x 8.5" strip of Whisper White cardstock. I punched one end with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch. I stamped the ice cream in Crumb Cake ink. I stamped the sentiment in Blushing Bride. Once I was happy with the stamping, I trimmed the excess cardstock with the Stampin' Trimmer. To complete the tag, I added a honeycomb embellishment, a little Crumb Cake circle at the top, a bow, and a few rhinestones.

I was so excited about this project, I completely forgot to use the Embossing Buddy. I had a few spots of errant embossing powder. I covered them with rhinestones! Rhinestones make excellent mistake covers!

The inside is matted with Whisper White cardstock. The thank you sentiment is from Many Thanks in the Annual catalog. The bottom is lined with Mint Macaron washi tape from the Occasions catalog hostess section and Silver Glimmer Paper.

I hope you have enjoyed Sale-A-Bration as much as I have! There are a few more hours to place your final Sale-A-Bration orders. Click here to start shopping!

The Final Days of Sale-A-Bration 2016!

Today and tomorrow are the last days of Sale-A-Bration! These are the final two days of earning free products with every qualifying order! I am sad that Sale-A-Bration is coming to end for this year, but I also truly enjoyed using all of the free products! I love the Wildflower Fields DSP (Item #141022). I wanted to showcase it one more time before it's gone.

Sale-A-Bration 2016 Wildflower Fields DSP

As you know, one of my goals this year is to improve my gift packaging skills. On my last order, I purchased the Gift Bag Punch Board (Item #135862). I made seven gift bags using the Wildflower Fields DSP and the Gift Bag Punch Board!

The first gift bag is a medium sized bag. To make the folded over edge, score 1/2" or 1" from the top edge of the bag using your Scoring Board and fold it over to reveal the other side of the DSP. The bow is punched using the Bow Builder punch and Blushing Bride cardstock. A metal rimmed pearl accents the center of the bow (and on sale this week!). The bag is held closed with hook and loop tape.

The second gift bag is a large sized bag. I made a taller bag by adding two inches to the width, making the DSP dimensions 8" x 12". If your bag is too tall, the scoring lines on the Gift Bag Punch Board will not fully extend across your DSP. Just flip the DSP around, line up your scoring lines, and complete them. Or, you can use your Scoring Board to complete the scoring lines.

The bag is tied with a cotton ribbon in Island Indigo. A tag stamped with congrats from Perfect Pairings and confetti from Party Pants completes the bag. The congrats is stamped in Island Indigo ink. The confetti is stamped in Tangelo Twist and in Cucumber Crush ink.

The third bag is a medium sized bag. I added Basic Black satin ribbon handles. I added 1/2" circles to reinforce the handles. This is not structurally necessary. I thought it was a cute addition. The balloons are punched using the Balloon Bouquet punch. The sentiment is from Balloon Celebration. It is difficult to tell from the photo, but the sentiment is embossed with black embossing powder. The sentiment banner is made with the Triple Banner punch.

The fourth bag is another large sized bag, but the starting DSP dimensions are 6" x 12". This makes a slightly shorter bag. The bag is tied with a satin ribbon in Pacific Point and also holds a thank you tag. The thank you tag uses the stamp set What I Love.

The fifth bag is a small sized bag with a 1/2" folder over edge. I added satin ribbon handles in Blackberry Bliss.

The sixth bag is a medium sized bag with a 1" folded over edge. The bag is closed with a satin ribbon in Basic Black.

The seventh and final bag is a medium sized bag with a 1" folded over edge. The bag is closed with a satin ribbon in Hello Honey. The banner tag is punched using the Triple Banner Punch and stamped with a sentiment from the Perfect Pairings stamp set.

I am working on a few more gift bags and will be sharing them shortly!

The Metallics Glitter Tape was so popular that it has sold out completely and is no longer available. However, these Sale-A-Bration Products are still available as of this post.

New Sale-A-Bration Products!!

Stampin' Up! introduced three new Sale-A-Bration products today!! Woohoo!! They are available from today, February 16th, 2016 to March 31st, 2016. Click here or the graphic below for the digital brochure.

SAB new items

I'm excited for all of the new Sale-A-Bration products! There are two stamps sets and one embellishment set. The first stamp set is called Party Pants and comes in both clear mount (Item #41327) and wood mount (Item #41324). It features a multitude of stamps to create your own celebratory collage! It also coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet Punch!
 



The second stamp set is called Pedal Pushers. It comes in photopolymer. Pedal Pushers is also a build your own scene stamp set. I especially like these types of mix and match sets because I can choose the elements I want according to the occasion.


The new embellishment is a trio of Metallics Glitter Tape (Item #141020). This set comes with three rolls of glitter tape in gold, silver, and white. Glitter tape all by itself is thrilling. However, the white glitter tape can be spritzed and sponged to become any color you imagine! I think I'm in love!



These products are available for a limited amount of time for free with each qualifying order. Be sure to place your order early! Remember this is an excellent time to stock up on all of the In Color 2014-2016 products before they are gone and will earn you free Sale-A-Bration products!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Sky is the Limit

Time is running out for three amazing Sale-A-Bration products! These Sale-A-Bration products are only available until February 15th! Place your order before they're gone!
  • Item # 141349 Sky is the Limit (Clear Mount) Stamp Set & Item # 141282 Sky is the Limit (Wood Mount) Stamp Set
  • Item # 141021 Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper
  • Item # 141243 Hello (Clear Mount) Stamp Set & Item # 141240 Hello (Wood Mount) Stamp Set

Sky is the Limit is hands down my favorite 2016 Sale-A-Bration stamp set! I have used it for Valentine's Day, card swaps, and a demonstration. I have a list of ideas waiting to be made with just this stamp set. I think it could be for graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, words of encouragement or hope, Father's Day, etc.! You could even put a little banner trailing behind the airplane to spell a cute message!


Sky is the Limit pairs perfectly with the World Traveler Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper! World Traveler TIEF embosses a map of the world. Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper has tunning marbled swirls! The marbling adds just the right amount of texture and depth to your projects without overwhelming it. The variety of colors makes it perfect for a multitude of occasions.


What a darling airplane! It makes me want to get up and explore new places! This set reminds me of my traveling adventures with my friends. Last year we all went on a cruise to Scandinavia, Greenland, and Canada.

To me, Sky is the Limit is personal and versatile. This is one stamp set not to pass up!

Thanks for stopping by!
