The end is near ….

The end of Sale-a-bration that is!

Sale-a-bration, the biggest Sale of the Stampin’ Up! calender ends next Tuesday – 31st March 2015. Sale-a-bration allows you to select a free gift with each £45 you spend. There are a whole heap of stamp sets and embellishments available, as well as a few items from the Annual Catalogue – Fast Fuse refils, and Embossing folders! Please note that the stamp sets are while stocks last.

To qualify for a free item you just need to spend £45 (or multiples of £45) before the 31st of March – the online shop will give you the available options for you free gift before checkout.

So, I have a card today featuring the gorgeous Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper – Best Year Ever!

Stampin' Up! UK Easter Sale-a-brationThe sentiment is taken from Indescribable Gift, punched with the Decorative Label punch. I then also punched a label from Hello Honey Cardstock (the same colour as the card base), cut it in half and attached it on either side of the sentiment. Finishing the card with some loops of Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

Before I get into this card, I have a confession to make (actually its two!) firstly, I made a mistake in the video, please use the measurements posted below – do as I type and not as I say!, and I’m sorry but I only have the metric measurements for this this card – imperial was just too much for my brain!

I also cannot take credit for this card – the design is totally down to the gorgeous Catherine Pooler – you can see her Imperial version of this card HERE

This card uses the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper – Best Year Ever, and Stamp set – Simply Wonderful, but today isn’t really about that, its about that fabulous swing!

Measurements:

Cardstock – 14 x 17 cm

On the long side first score at 7 cm from the top down to 3.5 cm and from 10.5cm to the bottom, repeat this at 10cm

Then turn your cardstock so that the short side is on the top and cut at 3.5 cm from 3 cm to 7 cm, and from 10 cm to 14 cm. Then cut at 11 cm, from 3 cm to 7 cm and 10 cm to 14 cm

Turn your cardstock back so that the long side is at the top, and cut at 3 cm from the top cut line (at 3.5 cm) to the bottom cut line (at 10.5 cm), and repeat this at 14 cm

You then need to matting layers:

Stampin' Up! UK Best Day Ever Sale-a-bration In Colours

I love this stamp set! It doesn’t look like much in the catalogue, but once you get stamping, it makes it so simple to create really stunning inky projects! I’ve used a couple of the stamps to create a sort of stamped Bokah effect (more on that later in the week!)

Fancy Fold Friday – TeePee Card

I’ve seen a lot of this card on various facebook groups recently, and I had to have a go at making one.

When I had a look through Pinterest looking at this type of card, I found two methods of making it. I prefer the method I will demonstrate here, I have tried it both ways.

Stampin' Up! UK TeePee cardThe other way is to cut 3 squares of cardstock, and fold diagonally in half. Apply glue to one half of each square, and stick them together. You should end up with a sort of chain of square that wrap around to form the TeePee.

Stampin' Up! TeePee card Sale-a-bration

Here I have used Basic Black cardstock, and the Best Year Ever Sale-a-bration designer series paper, and Pink Pirouette with the same DSP.

The stamp is from Big Day, another Sale-a-bration, offering, and is punched out using the Extra-large Oval punch.

Measurements:

Cardstock – 8 1/4 x 5 3/4″

Score on the long side at 4 1/8″ and fold, as if creating a standard fold card

place this folded card base onto the Simply Scored with the short side at the top, scoring at 4 1/8 down to approximately 2 1/2″

Cut this score line, and then cut from the end of that line to the bottom corner of the card – forming a triangle.

Open the card out, score from the middle score line to the outer bottom corner on both sides

DSP = 3 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, cut into two triangles

Mini Egg Basket

Ok, so I have a confession to make. I am a chocoholic! and seeing as I am currently on the biggest Wedding diet of the Century my chocolate intake is very very limited! So, I’m making boxes and bags to put chocolate in instead! lol, have to get my fix somewhere!

So, this is my Mini-Egg basket

Stampin' Up! UK Mini Eggs Basket Easter Sale-a-bration

It’s it cute! I love it! Not only is it adorable in the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (part of Sale-a-bration) but its super quick to make, AND they fold flat for storage! awesome!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper = 6 x 5″

Score on the long side at – 1/2, 1, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 5 and 5 1/2″

Score on the short side at – 1 and 4″

To enable this basket to fold flat you need to create some extra score lines. Holding the paper with the long side at the top, fold the two horizontal scores in wards. The two score lines in the centre need to fold to meet the score lines you have just folded. The video shows this better than I can explain it.

 

The basket when assembled holds 6-9 Mini Eggs, yum!

Sale-a-bration on Sunday – Best. Day. Ever.

I’m loving Sale-a-bration this year! As always Stampin’ Up! have brought us some truely awesome items! but this year, the coordination is fantastic!

I was playing around with some of the stamp sets yesterday, and I realised I hadn’t really done much with the Designer Series Paper – Best Year Ever!

So I had to rectify that!

Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration on sunday Best day ever

Its this card just fab! I grabbed the Best Year Ever Designer series paper, and looked at the colours – Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry – I stopped there (there are more) what a lovely colour combination! and something I would never have come up with myself! I do this quite often, I’ll grab some DSP and check what colours are in it, reach for my Stampin’ Write markers and see where I end up!

The stamp, Best Day Ever, is coloured with the Stampin’ Write Markers in Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry – stamped onto a piece of Whisper White measuring 4″ x 2″, and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.

What a simple and effective card for our Sale-a-bration on Sunday!

 

Sale-a-bration is the biggest Stampin’ Up! sale of the year – not only can you choose a FREE item (from a selection) for every £45 spend, but you can earn more Hostess Credits by holding a party, AND get some great free items by choosing to become a demonstrator!
