 Hi Stampers,

The Stampin’ Up!®️ January - June 2021Mini Catalog sales period is underway, and Sale - A - Bration (SAB) is underway! SAB will be a bit different this year.  You might have noticed  it runs for only two months as opposed to the usual three months, but ..... this year there will be another two months of SAB during July and August! So... four months total! Now that is something to celebrate,

What is SAB? It is one of Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotions. During SAB you can select items for free from the SAB brochure when you reach the price points of $50 or  $100.(excluding shipping and tax).There are 7 items to choose from at the $50 level and 2 items at the $100 level. Remember orders of $150 or more also earn Stampin’ Rewards.  During SAB orders (single orders or workshop orders) of $300 + are eligible for the SAB items, Stampin’ Rewards, and earn the Party Punch stamp set shown on page 17 of the SAB brochure.

For those of you new to SAB here are examples of the number of products you can earn based on a product order. Remember, shipping and tax are excluded.

A $50 order means you can select one item at the $50 level. A $100 order means you can select either 2 items at the $50 level or 1 at the $100 level.

Products.

Let’s take a look at one of the SAB offerings. The Berry Blessings Stamp Set and the coordinating, Berry Delightful DSP is an option at the $100 level. The stamp set is photopolymer and is a Two Step®️ set. This offering coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle on page 44 of the January - June Mini. Here is a look at the stamp set:

And here is a look at the DSP. As you can see one side of the paper has a berry pattern, the other side has various patterns.

Here are two cards I made with these products:

For this card I stamped the images on a 5 1/2” x 4 1/4” piece of Whisper White cardstock using Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, and Blackberry Bliss inks. To get lighter shades of a color (like to fill in the blueberries) I inked my stamp, stamped off on scrap paper, then stamped on the cardstock. I cut the focal point down to 4” x 5 1/4” and adhered it to a piece of Rich Razzleberry cut at 4 1/16” x 5 5/16”. I adhered that to an Old Olive card base. The greeting is stamped on Whisper White with Old Olive ink, and cut out with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies. (Annual Catalog page 179) The little bow is a piece of Whisper White Baker’s Twine (found on page 55 of the Mini Catalog) I dyed with the dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend.

Here is the inside of the card. The “Happy Birthday” is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (page 28 of the Mini Catalog). 

For this card I used two of the patterns from the DSP. The greeting is stamped on Whisper White with Poppy Parade ink, and cut out with another die from the Tasteful Labels Dies. The Poppy Parade mat for the greeting was cut with one of the Layering Squares Dies (Annual Catalog page 181). The embellishments are Pearl Basic Jewels (Annual Catalog page 156) I colored with the bullet end of the Poppy Parade (dark) Stampin’ Blend.

Here is the inside of the card. It features a 1/2” strip of the DSP and a berry I fussy cut from the DSP. Once again the sentiment is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set!

That is it for today. Until next time...

Stamp Happy!
