There are SO many great goodies in this years Sale-a-bration! One of the most recent to land in my craft room is the Mixed Medallions card kit… I think that this is really easy to miss the brochure, but its great for a few quick cards.
The kit comes loaded with 8 gate fold card bases, pre-printed sentiment pieces and die cut embellishments, and the cards it makes are really cute.
I have plans to make some alternatives for this kit (because I LOVE pulling a kit apart and seeing what else I can create!) but I haven’t had time to do that yet, however, I didn’t want you to miss out on this one… it’s SO good! If you have made an alternative project with this kit, I would LOVE to see them. You can share projects with me over on my Facebook Page!
There are two levels for Sale-a-bration this year; Level 1 items are redeemable with a £45 spend, while Level 2 require a £90 spend…. and you can of course get an extra item every time you hit £45 in a single order. For example, if you spend £90 you could choose one Level 2 item, or two Level 1’s. You can find all the free goodies in my Stampin’ Up! Webstore.

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Yay! New free goodies are here!
Yes… this morning Stampin’ Up! have released 3 fabulous new goodies to add to this years awesome Sale-a-bration line up! There is a gorgeous stamp set, a pack of Designer Series Paper and a fabulous bundle including an embossing folder!
I was so excited about these when they arrived last week I HAD to jump onto Facebook Live to share them with you!
These items are available for FREE during Sale-a-bration. The Eclectic Expressions Stamp Set (totally in love with this one…) and the Springtime Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper are avaiable for FREE with a £45, and the bundle is FREE with a £90 spend.
What is Sale-a-bration?
Sale-a-bration is my absolute favourite time of the Stampin’ Up! year! We are treated to free products just for shopping, extra Stampin’ Rewards for hosting, and the Starter Kit is the greatest deal ever!
Stampin’ Up! are giving away heaps of stamp sets, dies, Designer Series Papers and more… all you have to do is spend £45 and Stampin’ Up! will ask you which of the Sale-a-bration items you would like for FREE… there are 13 items available for free with a £45, and 3 that you could choose when you spend £90.
The next part of Sale-a-bration is designed for those hosting parties… but also applies to any order over £200. Orders over £200 get Stampin’ Rewards to the value of 10% of the order, PLUS an extra £20 during Sale-a-bration! That means that you get to spend an extra £40 on anything on the Stampin’ Up! webstore!
For me though the greatest part of Sale-a-bration is the joining offer. Grabbing a Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is always a great deal, but during Sale-a-bration not only do you get to choose £130 worth of goodies and pay just £99… but you then also get to choose an extra TWO stamp sets for FREE!

StampinByHannah Techniques How to create a dimensional sentiment with Celebrate You from Stampin’ Up!
I have a quick and fun Techniques video for you today. I am just LOVING the Celebrate You thinlits that are currently available for FREE during Sale-a-bration. Actually, before I forget Stampin’ Up! added some extra Sale-a-bration freebies this morning… you can check them out in my Online Store!
So, today’s technique… I have been having heaps of fun stacking the die cuts from this thinlit set, and I thought I would share some of my top tips that might help you create some fabulously dimensional die cut sentiments!
This card is so cute! It’s a fun 4 x 4″ size, with a 3-3/4 x 3-3/4″ piece of Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper and a large die cut Stitched Circle in Vellum. Both the die cut and the Glitter Enamel Dot are strategically placed to cover the Mini Dimensionals I used to adhere the Vellum to the card. I LOVE adding Vellum with dimensionals, just because the Vellum is lifted slightly off the front of the card and it creates a lovely shadow effect.
Top Tips;
Use Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheet on the back of your card stock before you start to die cut your sentiment
Die cut 3-5 pieces to give you a nice thick sentiment
Use your Silicone Mat to help you ensure that die cuts are lined up
It is easier to line up shorter words… so try a word like YOU before you head for something longer and swirly!
The ‘Thank’ is taken from one of the stamps in the All Things Thanks stamp set, and I selectively inked it with a Stampin’ Write Marker in Night of Navy to ensure that I just had the portion of the stamp I needed.

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight Want more from Sale-a-bration?!
I am LOVING Sale-a-bration… I love getting Free products and extra rewards, but I’m sure you’re like me and you have almost all of the Sale-a-bration items already?! Well, Stampin’ Up! are releasing 3 fabulous extra items on Friday! Yay!
I did a very quick Facebook Live last week sharing the fabulous new items. I had planned to share a creative project, but I got a text message from my mum halfway through my Live and I didn’t get chance to make anything. Mum’s been poorly this past fortnight, she dislocated her shoulder playing Golf a couple of weeks ago and has had surgery this week, so I STILL haven’t managed to get creative! That WILL be changing today, and I hope to share some fabulous ideas really soon.
The new items will be available for FREE when you spend £45 between Friday and then end of March, although I would note that all Sale-a-bration items are likely to be While Stocks Last very shortly… and I wouldn’t be surprised if that gorgeous foil paper sells out fairly quickly!
To get your Free gift from Stampin’ Up! all you need to do is add £45 worth of goodies to your basket, and Stampin’ Up! will prompt you to make your freebie selection before you can check out.

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight Why did I join Stampin’ Up!?
This weeks Sale-a-bration Spotlight post is a little different from the rest… I want to tell you a story.
I want to share part of my Stampin’ Story.
Why did I join Stampin’ Up! in the first place?
I have written before about why I continue with Stampin’ Up! and why I LOVE it so much. I adore being a part of a group of passionate crafty women, some of whom are my best friends in the world. I love being able to get a discount on crafty goodies I would have bought anyway, the ability to Pre-Order from new catalogues (I have some pre-order goodies coming this afternoon actually!), and being able to access a mountain of inspiration, including Facebook groups, the exclusive magazine, and weekly emails.
However, the reason I joined in the first place, I’m not sure I have ever shared before.
I was searching for a creative business; I had considered setting up an online shop, I had thought about making custom wedding stationary, I had thought about selling handmade cards and boxes at craft fairs. Years before I had come across the website of a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, and the idea came back to me as a way of getting quality products, cheaper. I discussed it all with James, he set about doing a heap of research, and came up with the suggestion of me joining and running a Stampin’ Up! business rather than travelling around the region for fairs.
My first email to my team leader included some very strange questions like “What do I do about Tax?!” and I think I signed up the very same day, 1st June 2014! Best. Decision. Ever!
I now have an online store, have made wedding stationary for myself as well as other people, and have done a couple of craft fairs (which I hated, and don’t plan on doing another!). But I have even more than that… I have the opportunity to earn free stamps, events and trips, I have a blog that I love, I have a wonderful team of stampers, and a growing business.
So, why am I waffling about this today?
Well, Stampin’ Up! have a fabulous joining offer during Sale-a-bration… a bumper Starter Kit that is totally customise-able by you! The perfect way to start a crafty business, get an increased mark-up on those items your already making for craft fairs, or just a fabulous discount off your crafty purchases.
The Starter Kit is just £99! I mean, lets just stop a moment, you can start your own business for £99… can you think of any other business you can start and be successful at for just £99 worth of investment?! Nope, I can’t either! So, the Starter Kit is just £99, PLUS during Sale-a-bration you can add an extra 2 stamp sets from the Annual or Spring Summer catalogue for FREE (that could be £90 if you pick the right sets!), you also get to pick £130 worth of Stampin’ goodies, and get FREE postage and packing on your kit! There are heaps of benefits of being a part of Stampin’ Up! The discount, events, magazine, inspiration, opportunities, friendships, coordinating products, pre-order periods, to name just a few

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight How to get more from Sale-a-bration…
There are so many ways to get more out of Stampin’ Up! The most obvious being being able to choose a fabulous free gift just for spending £45, but that isn’t really want a want to talk about today. I do have another 3 fun cards using the Sale-a-bration freebies… I have noticed that all my cards this week seem to be Casing someone else… and the theme has continued here too!
Amazing You Stampin’ Up! Catalogue Case Card
So… How to get more from Sale-a-bration!
Well, there are another 2 ways… the first being the Hostess offer (which sounds like you have to host something, but you really don’t!). So, you can get MORE just by shopping… during Sale-a-bration Stampin’ Up! are giving us extra Stampin’ Rewards to the tune of £20 when you place a £200 order. The is in addition to the 10% that you would earn normally, so if you put in an order of exactly £200 (before P+P) you would get £40 worth of Stampin Rewards… that’s £40 extra to spend on anything in the catalogue. PLUS you will also get to choose 4 Sale-a-bration goodies too! Awesome!
Heartfelt Blooms Cathy Collins Case using Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration stamps
The 3rd way to get more is of course to take up the Joining offer!
I chatted about this one last week, so do go back and check out my Myth-busting Joining post! The joining offer gives you extra in your Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit; choose an extra 2 stamp sets (from the Spring Summer or Annual catalogues) for FREE.
Ok… I hope that you are enjoying Sale-a-bration as much as I am… what freebie is at the top of your wishlist?

StampinByHannah Pootlers Team Blog Hop Celebrating Sale-a-bration!
Welcome to StampinByHannah for the second Pootlers Team Blog Hop of 2018. This week we are sharing a heap of Sale-a-bration inspiration, and I cannot wait to see what the other ladies have made. You can find out first blog hop of 2018 HERE, where we shared Spring Summer catalogue goodies!
Sale-a-bration is awesome this year! There are so many great items that you can choose for free when you shop, my current favourite (it changes from week to week!) is the Amazing You stamp set and the Celebrate You thinlits. I LOVE when products coordinate, which is why I love Stampin’ Up! so much, and these two pair together wonderfully.
I used the Celebrate die twice, once to cut a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper and a second time to cut a piece of watercolour paper I had already coloured using Brusho. I am really enjoying playing with Brusho at the moment and am embracing the mess that comes along with it! There is one top tip for using the dies in the Celebrate You Thinlits… make sure that you back your card stock with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet BEFORE you die cut it. This makes the words SO much easier to adhere to your project, as they are then basically fancy stickers!
The Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets also work really well sticking to the Glimmer Paper (please don’t ask how many times and different adhesives I used in the making of this card, how many Celebrates I die cut!), and it sticks well to the ribbon too! The Night of Navy Crinkle Seam Binding is attached to the card stock with a strip of Fast Fuse, and I ruffled it a little as I stuck it down to create this effect.
Do check out the other projects created by the Pootlers… and thank you so much for checking out StampinByHannah today!

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight How to Join Stampin’ Up!
There are 3 fabulous parts to Sale-a-bration; Shop, Host and Join. I chatted about the Shop part last week, but I really wanted to talk about the fabulous joining offer this week.
The Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is the gateway to joining Stampin’ Up! Grabbing the Starter Kit gets you so much…
£130 worth of Stampin’ Up! products of your choice, and pay just £99
2 Stamp sets of your choice extra for FREE
20-25% discount on your Stampin’ Up! purchases
An exclusive quarterly magazine
Stampin’ Up! events, trips and more…
Pre-order for new products and catalogues
Plus, a fabulous community of like minded crafters, inspiration, and fun!
So, What does a Starter Kit look like?
Your Starter Kit is totally customisible, it contains items of your choice. I have a couple of suggested kits here…
The Daisy Delight kit… (perfect for a new crafter)
How do I continue to receive all the great benefits?
Stampin’ Up! do have a minimum that they do ask you to meet. However, it is very reasonable, just £225 per quarter. They don’t include the quarter that you join in, so if you sign up before the end of March (and so get those extra stamp sets as part of Sale-a-bration!) you have until the end of June to meet that minimum. PLUS Stampin’ Up! don’t mind if your only shopping for yourself, or if your selling to your family and friends, or if you holding great big classes… as long as that minimum is met.
What happens if I drop?
Nothing, Stampin’ Up! do not ask for anything back, I’m not about to come after you… you just return to being a customer rather than a member of the team. You do loose access to Team groups, Stampin’ Up! events, discounts and the other benefits to being a part of Stampin’ Up!
I don’t want to sell, blog or do parties, is that a problem?
No. I would LOVE to welcome you to the team whether you want to be a happy shopper or a business builder. We all love to craft and share… and that’s all that I ask! However, if you do decided to take Stampin’ Up! on as a business I will support you, offer advice and more. I have recently set up an email training series available to every team member when they join (or later on if they choose) to go through business basics, guide you around the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator website, and more…
Where do I sign up?!
You can sign up right now HERE, or if you have more questions do check out my Joining FAQ page, or the Join my Team page.

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Sparkly Amazing You…
Oh I am so excited about today’s blog post! You might remember last year, I took part in a monthly blog hop called Simply Sketched Saturday? Well, I co-run this monthly event with my lovely friend Sam, and we have changed things up a bit. (Can I just take a moment to look at our awesome new logo… its so damn pretty!)
This month’s theme is Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine… and I CANNOT wait to see what the girls on the team have made! We have 17 InspireINK blogs taking part this month, and you can see them all by clicking the NEXT button at the bottom of this blog post.
Ok, so I have a confession to make about this card… it wasn’t my first creation for today’s blog hop, but I am SO glad that I didn’t settle for the card I had, because I LOVE this one! You can see the first version (very quickly) in my Make It Monday video this Monday, when I might just be making another version of this fabulously sparkly number!
There are two stamp sets at work on this card; Heart Happiness and the lovely Amazing You, as well as the Celebrate You Thinlits which coordinate. The large hearts are simply stamped in Night of Navy while the stamp does all the work to get that multi-tonal effect. The little hearts are then stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder
The sentiment is the star of the show here though, with Amazing die cut from Gold Glimmer Paper (I cannot get enough of Glimmer paper, or this die, at the moment!), and the other words taken from Amazing You heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
I hope that you have enjoyed stopping by StampinByHannah today, and hope to see you here again soon! Please do hop along and see the rest of the InspireINK team…

I am loving Sale-a-bration this year! Sale-a-bration is the biggest event in the Sale-a-bration calendar… it has 3 fabulous parts; Shop, Host and Join.
Each week on a Wednesday I am focusing one a Sale-a-bration goody, and this week it’s Heartfelt Blooms!
This stamp set is special stamp set, not only can you choose it as your free item when you spend £45 before the end of March, but also it is part of a brand new line of stamps from Stampin’ Up! Disinktive stamps are a brand new style of stamp that layers ink down at different opacities, giving you a fabulous dimensional image.
This card uses a fun technique I hadn’t tried for a while; Spotlight Stamping (see what I did there?!). I stamped the Heartfelt Bloom twice, once in Smoky Slate and one in Rose Red. Then, I took the 1″ circle punch to the Rose Red one. These punch outs are then lined up with the Smoky Slate image, to create spotlights! Fun yes?!
This gorgeous stamp is is available for FREE during Sale-a-bration. All you need to do it spend £45 in the Online Store (that’s the Spring Summer or Annual catalogues, or even the Clearance rack!). There are 12 other free items if this one does float your boat, 2 of which are extra special and require a spend of £90 before you can choose them for free. When you shop using the Online Store, Stampin’ Up! will prompt you to add your Sale-a-bration items, and tell you how many you can have. They call the items you can choose for a £45 Level 1, and those requiring a £90 spend Level 2. You will earn a Sale-a-bration item every time you hit £45 in an individual order, meaning that if you spend £90 you can either have TWO Level 1 items or ONE Level 2. If you spend £135 you can choose THREE Level 1 items or ONE Level 1 item PLUS ONE Level 2!
This gets even better when you spend £150 as you will get to choose your Sale-a-bration items AND then spend at least £15 worth of Stampin’ Up! Rewards on anything in either the Spring Summer or Annual catalogues including the Hostess Exclusive stamp sets. But, when you place an order of £200 you get 4 Level 1 items, PLUS 10% of your order in Stampin’ Up! Rewards AND an extra £20 to spend on anything in the Spring Summer or Annual catalogues!
Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE goodies!
