Sale-a-Bration starts today!

Sale-a-bration begins today and goes thru March 31, 2012.  Just keep in mind that for every $50 you spend you get a free gift.  I will be uploading the SAB catty to my sidebar soon.  I have a club meeting tonight tho so check back tomorrow maybe.  I love this years FREE gifts!  Also great gifts for being a hostess during this time so if you are interested please contact me.



Sale-a-Bration is ending soon!

In today's post I am going to post some cards that were made with SAB sets that you can find on the back page of the SAB brochure.  These are sets from the regular IB & C and the page numbers to find them are listed there on the page.  Sale-a-Bration is winding down and will come to an end on the last day of this month.  I am going to do a Sale-a-Bration promotion here on my blog to end the promotion so stay tuned to see what you could win.  These are some swap cards from gals that I swap with on a regular basis.

This card was made by Mary Ammar and uses the Thank You Kindly set, which is a four piece set of "thank you" sayings.  And you can get it for FREE until the end of this month!  The espresso and blut together are a fabulous combination.

This card was made by Jan Cramer and uses the single stamp called On the Green which is SAB as well.  It also uses Perfect Punches from page 131 of the IB&C.  You can see the dsp that is layered to always artichoke and the gold brads add a lovely touch.

This card is made by Mary Hall.  Mary used the Ornate Blossom which is another single stamp that is available as a SAB pick.  I love the pearls--they add such a nice wow factor to this card!

Here is another card made by Jan Cramer.  It uses the Christmas Greetings stamp set which is a SAB pick from the back page of the brochure.  This card is very pretty in real life.  I LOVE our new cherry cobbler color.  The focal point was sprayed with a shimmer spray I think she made from mixing rubbing alcohol with the champagne mist shimmer paint from page 195 of the IB&C.  The glimmer brad comes from our occasions mini catalog.  You can see that she used the petals a plenty embossing folder as well with our Big Shot. 







Punch Bunch 2

Sorry I have been absent for so long.  Busy here with calving and we have had some computer problems as well which hasn't helped things out any.  Today's post is done with Punch Bunch set which is a Sale-a-bration set currently.  It is available until the end of this month of March.  Don't delay--get it now!

It uses the owl from the punch bunch set and I stamped it in pear pizzazz and punched it out with the owl punch from the IB&C (page 201).  The branch comes from the two step bird extra large punch.  Base card is baja breeze with a white layer.  Then a smaller early espresso piece that was punched with the scallop edge border punch.  The white piece was stamped with so saffron in the dot, dot, dot stamp found on page 140 of the IB&C.  This is also available as a SAB selection.  I added some baja breeze dsp from the subtles dsp pack found on page 175 of thte IB&C which added the punched pieces to the owl and the little heart.  The greeting for this card comes from another SAB set called So Happy For You.  The ribbon is early espresso grosgrain.

Sale-a-bration time is winding down so don't wait too long and miss out on getting some of these fun sets for FREE to add to your collection.

Have a great day and I'll try to not be sooooo long between posts.  Thanks for stopping by.



Bliss 3

Good Monday Morning to all!  Today's post is similar to a post from previously.  Same colors, just changed the layout a touch and the stamp set to Bliss.  Oh, how I love this set and time is running out to get it.  So with a $50 purchase of other stamp goodies, you can earn this one for FREE.  Go to my website at http://www.rheastamps.stampinup.net/ to place your orders.  After you are there, just click on the "shop now" button.  The colors are concord crush and sahara sand.  I used white craft ink and a sponge dauber to ink up the cs that I embossed with the tulip folder and the Big Shot.  It really adds a nice touch and is kind of hard to see in the picture.  The victoria crochet trim ribbon across the bottom and the greeting mounted with dimensionals.  The scallop trim border punch along the one side is in cocord crush cs.  Thanks for stopping by today.



Mmmmmm--Candy!

I just made this for the door prize for today's workshop--some lucky person is going home with CANDY!  I wrapped the little nugget candies with the springtime vintage dsp from the occasion's mini.  Then used the Punch Bunch SAB set to make the tag.  I colored it with markers in pear pizzazz, blushing bride, and rose red.  Punched it out with the scallop punch which matches perfectly as do all the images in this set; they all match punches carried by SU!  Wrapped it with some vanilla satin ribbon and tied the tag on with some linen thread.  I hope whoever wins this today loves chocolate!  Thanks for stopping by.



Punch Bunch

Today's post is made with another SAB set called Punch Bunch.  It is a really quick and easy card to make. 

It uses dsp from the SAB dsp & quick accents pack found on page 7 of the brochure and as with all SAB items, it is FREE with a $50 purchase of other goodies!  I used a pink pirouette for a base and then added the strip of dsp with a white satin ribbon.  The 2 ½" circle punch is out of melon mambo textured cs then distressed it with the cutter kit.  The scallop piece is colored with melon mambo, pink pirouette, and old olive markers stamped on white and punched out with the scallop circle punch.  I added this to the card with dimensionals.  Thanks for stopping by today.



So Happy For You

Today's post is a quick and very easy card done with another of the Sale-a-bration sets called So Happy For You.  It also uses the dsp & quick accents pack that is one of the picks for SAB as well.

The base card is pacific point cs and I stamped with pacific point, melon mambo, and daffodil delight the flowers on a strip of white cs and then sponged some of those colors over the top.  This was then mounted to a strip of paper from the pack mentioned above.  The greeting was punched with the decorative lable punch and tucked behind that.  I put a few randon flowers on the base card before assembling it together.  I used the scallop border punch with the dsp for a trim at the top edge of the card.  Quick and easy!

Thanks for stopping by today!

CCMC138~~ Bliss Again!

Happy Tuesday to all!  Today's card is again made with the SAB set, Bliss.  I just love this set!  This is a card that I made to do a challenge from Create with Connie and Mary CCMC138.

I used cherry cobbler, baja breeze, early espresso, and crumb cake (stepping out of my comfort zone--not a combo I usually use).  Also used was the dotted scallop ribbon border, 2½ inch circle, and decorative label punches.  Some of the embellishments include linen thread and basic pearls.  Base card is early espresso with a crumb cake layer.  The scallop ribbon border is out of early espresso cs and layered beside a piece of cherry cobbler dsp from the regals dsp stack.  The first edition dsp is torn first and then sponged with early espresso ink and has some of the flowers in cherry cobbler on it. The baja breeze circle was ran thru the Big Shot with the polka dot folder.  I LOVE my Big Shot!  I haven't regretted that purchase for one second; I use it all the time!   I colored the basic pearl with a marker to match.  The greeting comes from teeny tiny wishes sponged with early espresso ink.  The focal piece is distressed with the cutter kit and mounted to the card after adding the greeting with dimensionals.  All of these items are SU and can be found in either the occasions mini, Sale-a-bration, or our big Idea book and catalog.  If you have questions please feel free to contact me.  Have a great day!

Sale-a-bration is still going!

We are still celebrating with Sale-a-bration time with Stampin' Up!  You can check out the little catalog here: http://204.228.150.61/20102011catalogs/SAB11_US.pdf

Today's post uses one of these sets that you can get for FREE and is probably my favorite out of this little catalog.  It is called Bliss.

It uses baja breeze cardstock for the base card, vanilla cs embossed with tulip frame embossing folder thru the Big Shot, first edition dsp from the occasions mini catalog, chocolate chip cs that was embossed with the tulip frame folder and then punched with the photo corner punch.  The seam binding and the flower adornment come from the occasions mini catalog as well as the decorative label punch that I stamped the word bliss on.  I used some dimensionals to raise it up.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your week!
