Sale-a-bration is now in full swing! What a fun time of year to be a stamper and a Stampin'Up! customer! I made time to stamp this past weekend, even though I had a million other things to do. Valentine's Day is sneaking up on us, and I wanted to be prepared with some cards ready to go. Having some fun Valentines tucked away in advance is almost better than having money in the bank. Almost.
Here's one of my Valentine creations...
This card is called a Triple Z Fold card. If you would like the directions, just type "triple z fold card" into the google search box and you'll see several sites that will give you the measurements.
Note: The small heart DSP that you see is not part of the card. I just used it for the background of my photo. It is part of the Painted with Love Specialty DSP on page 19 of the new Occasions catalog.
That cute panda is part of the Party Pandas stamp set that you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase. You can see it on page 15 of the Sale-a-bration Brochure. The base of the card is Powder Pink, and the inner Z fold is cut from Smoky Slate card stock. The Powder Pink base is embossed with the Polka Dot Basics embossing folder on page 210 of the annual catalog. The inside sentiment "I just love you" is part of the new Petal Palette stamp set that's on page 23 of the Occasions catalog. The ribbon is 3/8 inch Shimmer Ribbon. I used Powder Pink to match the card stock. You can find this silky and sparkly ribbon on page 199 of the annual catalog.
I hope that more of you will join in my 2018 Card Challenge. I'm challenging you to make 2018 a kinder and more loving year by making a commitment to send one card a week. It can be a birthday card, thinking of you, thank you, get well, etc. The point is to give those who might be going through a difficult time a little encouragement and love. Please sign up for the Card Challenge by January 15th to have your name put into a drawing for a free host stamp set of your choice. I think we can all manage one card a week, don't you?
FREE shipping continues throughout the month of January! This offer is from me, not from Stampin'Up! I will send you a check via snail mail for the amount of your shipping charge.
When you place your online order for $50 or more and use the Host Code HTZ4RFVG, I will add your name to my January Host Code drawing. And of course your name will go on my 50-50 board, for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate from me! And you'll get one Sale-a-bration item for each $50 you spend!
I hope I've inspired you to get started on your own Valentines! Valentine's Day is more than a romantic occasion to celebrate love with our husband/wife/significant other. Valentine's Day is much more than that! It's a day to spread love around like confetti to everyone... brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, moms, dads, friends, neighbors, children, grandchildren, grandparents... everyone!
May the week ahead find you busily creating some cards to spread love and affection to everyone you hold dear!
Happy creating!
Susan
