Eight Days of Sale-A-Bration - Day 6 - Happy Wishes Stamps with Springtime Foils.

Welcome to the sixth of a series of posts called Eight Days of Sale-A-Bration, where I will be featuring some of the gorgeous products you can earn when you place a qualifying order from either of our two current catalogues - the 2017/18 Annual Catalogue or the Spring/Summer 2018 Catalogue (see my previous post about SAB for full details).  But you'll need to be quick, as the promotion ends on 31st March 2018!



The two cards for today's project are made using two of our SAB items - the Happy Wishes Stamp Set (Level 2) from the first release and the Springtime Foils (Level 1) with the second release.  The Springtime Foils are printed on heavy card with a plain white back so if you wanted to, you could make the card base for the Happy Anniversary card just from the foil sheet, but I prefer sticking a panel to the front of a coloured card base as it means I have more card to play with on another project.  You can also cut elements out from a sheet like I have on the Best Wishes card - you can even make great boxes with it.

Instructions for how to make these cards can be found by clicking the ''Print Recipe" link above each Supplies List below.

As with all my projects, if you give them a go yourself, I'd love to see what you create - just leave a photo in the comments 😍

Happy Stampin'

Eight Days of Sale-A-Bration - Day 5 - Let's Celebrate You Card Pack

Welcome to the fifth of a series of posts called Eight Days of Sale-A-Bration, where I will be featuring some of the gorgeous products you can earn when you place a qualifying order from either of our two current catalogues - the 2017/18 Annual Catalogue or the Spring/Summer 2018 Catalogue (see my previous post about SAB for full details).  But you'll need to be quick, as the promotion ends on 31st March 2018!



Today's project features FOUR Sale-A-Bration products!!  I do realise that to earn these items, you would need a huge investment, but it would be easy to swap out the ribbon and glimmer paper for a choice from our catalogues.  That leaves the Amazing You Stamp Set (Level 1) and the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies (Level 2) - well, the good news is that the dies will be carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue 2018-2019 😁  However, the Stamp Set will not, so if you only earn one Level One Product, I'd go for the stamps then buy the Thinlits later.

So - onto the actual project.  This is a pack of 5 cards with stamped envelopes all in a Decorated Acetate Card Box.  These are great to give as a gift to someone so they always have cards on hand.  And with the 'Let's Celebrate You' Sentiment, they can be used for almost any occasion, not just birthdays (apart from the one with Birthday Candles on it 😜).

I've written instructions for one card and envelope, so you just need to repeat the first 11 steps for another 4.

I made two different packs as there were 10 designs in the DSP pack that I felt would work well with this card.  I'm really chuffed with the finished result, as I'm sure you will be if you give this a try.

"So, where are these instructions?" I hear you cry!  Well, you can find them by clicking HERE

Here are the full contents of Pack One.....



and Pack Two.




I hope you like today's project - as usual, if you give it a try, I'd love to see what you created.  Just post a photo in the comments on here, and on the blog if you want to 😍

Happy Stampin'
