Welcome to the Stampin'
Addicts Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop, each blog will be featuring different products
from the free items available to you when you order during Sale-A-Bration.
If you are traveling forward in the blog hop you
just came from Kim's blog, Stitchin’ and Stampin’ on Paper, where she
featured the rad cool Extreme Dirt Bike!
I will be showcasing A Flower
for All Seasons. This stamp set includes
four images, one for each of the seasons, and is carried in the big Idea Book
and Catalog. In case you didn't know, this year Stampin' Up! will
be letting you pick from a limited list of stamp sets from the big Idea Book
and Catalog. These sets are listed on
the inside back cover of the Sale-a-Bration brochure. There are also 6 WOW products (stamps, a punch, and paper) in the Sale-a-Bration brochure available
only through March 31st, 2010.
My first projects are cards that I've created for two of my favorite holidays, Easter and Christmas. The Easter card features a spring basket filled with tulips. The greeting is from the new set, Well Scripted, shown in the current Occasions mini catalog. The Christmas card features the Scallop Trim Border Punch which is one of this year's Sale-a-Bration selections and is featured on another stop on this blog hop! I also wanted to draw your attention to the printed paper I used on the Christmas card. This paper if from the new Country Living special, Cards a la Carte.
I put together this next project so that I could show you how to earn A Flower for All Seasons for FREE! Yes, you can earn this set for free with a $50 purchase. Here's how! The basic components of these cards are cardstock, pastels, ink and blender pens. This bundle, plus some envelopes will add up to $64.80 before taxes and S&H. These are enough materials to make 40 cards with some materials left over.
Whisper White Cardstock (40 Sheets) 100730 $7.50
Whisper White Envelopes (40) 107301 $6.50
Rich Regals Assorted Cardstock (36 sheets in 12 colors) 105567 $7.95
*Stampin' Pastels 105542 $24.95
Blender Pens (3) 102845 $9.95
Jet Black Stazon Ink Pad 101406 $7.95
$64.80
* Includes all of Stampin' Up!'s core colors plus three neutral
colors.
Optional items I used for these cards include Whisper White Organza Ribbon and the new Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions Folder Polka Dots. These cards are blank and can be used for whichever occasion might be appropriate - holidays, get well, thank you.
My last project is a really cool box filled with all kinds of goodies for scrapbooking. Come back to my blog on Monday, the 18th, for an added link to the tutorial for this little beauty. This project is something I might give to my hostess as a booking gift. If I get a booking at her workshop, she gets this little package.
And here are all the wonderful contents: photo mats, journaling tags, die cuts, punch art, buttons, brads and ribbon! Everything to finish off a few pages in your scrapbook.
Don't forget to check back after January 18th for
the how-tos on some of the projects I created. I hope you enjoyed seeing the projects made with the products that you can get free with a $50.00 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. Contact your demo to find out how.
Next on the blog hop is Holly’s
blog, Rubber Redneck, which will feature Forest Friends. Forest Friends is another
stamp from the limited list of sets from the big Idea Book and Catalog that you
can select for your Sale-a-Bration extras.

Trina, these projects are splendid, but it's the assorted cards that are making me yearn for this set. Great job, girl!

Gorgeous cards and that box is out of site as we used to say a million years ago - LoL! What a wonderful idea to put together a scrapper kit - perfect for a quickie brag book or bigger project. Helpful too to see what materials will earn the free set and to know they will all make more than 40 cards. Beats Hallmark prices all to heck!

Those tags and that scrapbook embellishment box is just precious!I might borrow one of your card ideas for a stamp a stack. Then customers could use any sentiment they would like on the inside if they want to change it around a little.
