Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop -- SAB edition

Hello friends!

I hope you are enjoying our February Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop highlighting products from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration (SAB) and the new Occasions catalogs. During SAB you can earn for FREE items with every $50 order...and new free items were just added! Fellow Stampin Up demonstrators from all over the globe are participating in this hop.....we have many wonderful projects to share with you!

You may have arrived from Darla Roberts' blog. Her Lasting Lily project is fabulous!

I was inspired by a pop up slider card Louise Jarosz posted on a closed demo site. I had intended to use the Well Said stamps and Well Written thinlits on this card. I can't quite remember why those plans were tossed aside....but in the end I did create a pop up slider (shout out to Barb Mullikin for her tutorial! click here). I love cards with a movement element. This card is also a full sized card, with the pop up feature attached to the card front providing plenty of space inside for a personal message. Bonus!

My project features the SAB Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the SAB Organdy ribbon combo pack, both available only during SAB. I love Barb's idea of using the rectangle stitched framelits to cut the opening and guesstimating where to score....these framelits are my latest obsession, I can't seem to make a card without them! The framelits and the Beauty Abounds stamp set (featured in this project) are from the Occasions catalog, another reason to love this catalog!

Without further ado, my pop up slider card.....

Sale-A-Bration 2018 Blog Hop

Hello friends!

Happy New Year! I'm celebrating the new year, Stampin Up's newest catalog, the Occasions catalog, and the best time of year, Sale-a-Bration (SAB)!

Welcome to the 2018 Sale-A-Bration blog hop. We have lots of creativity to share with you featuring Sale-A-Bration 2018 products.

For those who don't know me let me introduce myself. I attended my first Stampin' Up! workshop in 1996 and have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator since 2010--I am passionate about stamping! I live in central Maryland; if you ever find yourself in the area, look me up and come stamp with me!

My projects feature the SAB set Party Pandas. These pandas are too darn cute, especially when paired with other SAB items and designer series paper (DSP)!

Party Pandas stamps with Tutti Frutti DSP

I stamped each panda with Tuxedo Memento black ink on Whisper White cardstock then outlined them using the Light Smokey Slate Stampin' Blend marker--it really makes them pop, like they are 3D! I dressed each card up with the Tutti-frutti adhesive backed sequins from the Tutti-Frutti suite in the Occasions catalog for easy-peasy embellishing.

Want these pandas? Here's an easy SAB shopping list for earning the Party Pandas stamps for free:

Check back tomorrow for a full ingredients list and measurements.
