Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration

Well, I promised yesterday that I would be back today, and can you believe it? Here I am :)

I'm going to start by sharing with you all of the stamp sets and papers that form part of the Sale-a-Bration package.

First up is the Fresh Vintage set which consists of the following 5 stamps. Take special note as you will see that some of these designs match the patterned paper pack that is on offer too!

So, next we are onto another lovely set. It's called Elementary Elegance and consists of the following 7 stamp sets.

Next up is Outlined Expressions - a great set for colouring in and with some great useable sentiments too. 6 stamps in this set.

And finally for the stamp sets, it's Sprinkled Expressions. This set comprises of six stamps. This was probably my least favourite set to start with but I've made some of my favourite cards with it so far, so watch out for those coming soon!

And last up is a new addition this year to the Sale-a-Bration offerings - it's called Everyday Enchantment and with the base colours of blue and green with a splash of coral, what's not to love? Having been playing with this now for over a month, I have to admit that I think that this is my favourite patterned paper out of ALL the current Stampin' Up! sets - can you believe it's that good. Well look out for lots of great samples coming up with this including one below!

So, yesterday I gave you your first sneak peek and here it is again with some more details....

Of course, my first card had to be a blue and green one. I thought I'd start by showcasing some cards using the Fresh Vintage stamp set. I've only used one stamp from the set (the postage stamp) but see that first splash of the SAB papers too?

The base card is Lucky Limeade which has a panel of embossed Pool Party using the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. A panel of the Everyday Enchantment paper mounted onto some more Lucky Limeade. Two knots in some of the new Mini Catalogue velvet ribbon down the left hand side adds some dimension and texture. On the right hand side you've got three of the postage stamps stamped in Lucky Limeade ink and mounted on three Pool Party squares punched using the Mini Catalogue Postage Stamp punch - how perfect a fit is that? Some Dimensionals to add some height and you're done! Easy and lush, lush, lush :)

So, I think I'll spoil you with another card tonight too!

This card starts with a More Mustard base card. Stamp over a strip of the First Edition Speciality card with three of the stamps from the Fresh Vintage set (flower spray, medallion and small flower) in Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Pear Pizzazz and mount to your card. Add some velvet ribbon to the top and the bottom of this strip. A Cajun Craze stamped medallion, Pear Pizzazz border punch and a More Mustard Thanks (from the Hostess Set, Tagtastic), punch them all out with various circle punches and add them to the strip with Dimensionals. Three self-adhesive pearls to the top right hand corner and you're done!

Right, that's it from me tonight, I think I've spoilt you enough and if you are really lucky, I'll be back tomorrow with two more samples from this Fresh Vintage set. Are you feeling the "need" for this set yet?

Let me know if you'd like this set - a £45 order gets you it for FREE!

See you tomorrow,
