More Free Product from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Catalog


This is Watercolor Month and to celebrate, I used some Watercoloring Techniques with Painted Poppies and the Silver & Gold Specialty paper from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.



I love how this turned out. I'm using Poppy Parade to watercolor the flowers and create the watercolor background.  By using the Water Painters from Stampin' Up! I could easily turn a stamped image and a piece of lovely paper into a masterpiece.



I simply stamped the flower images on Shimmer White cardstock. Then I used the fine tipped Water Painter to spread the ink from the outline image into the center of the flower to color it. 



For the background, I cut a strip of the Silver and Gold Specialty Paper that is 5 1/2" by 2". I used the Water Painter to pick up ink and swished it onto the paper to create the color "wash" across the strip. You can press the stamp pad onto a clear block to create a palate of ink to use or you can use the ink refill to drop a bit of ink into the lid of the stamp pad. Either method works great for picking up ink with your Water Painter. 



I used the Poppy Moments Dies to add the bits of Olive Green leaves to my card. A bow of Baker's twine to add definition to the edge of the painted paper. A greeting from the delightful Limited Edition Stamp Set and....

The finishing touch is the darling Heart Pearls.



You will want to try Watercoloring - it is fun! And EASY!

Lots to LOVE about the Tree Lot Dies from Stampin' Up!

These Tree Lot dies are so much fun to work with!  Three are so many ways to use them. Check out my fun in the sun rendition!


I used some retired stamp sets to create my beach scent. I think I will head for the mountains next - the Mountain Air Stamp set will be perfect for this.




I used the Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check ribbon to create a "road". Such a fun touch.


And - the Stipes and Splatters embossing folder brings more of the road and beach element to the card.

Can you imagine you having one last trip before school starts?

Rings of Love Designer Series Paper is a Marvelous Addition to Sale-a-bration


I used the Rings of Love Designer Series Paper to create this card. And the paper is free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' UP!

It's fun to create with just paper and ink, and this designer series paper makes it easy and I love the results! Don't you?


I used Versamark ink to create the background and I stamped the background on Soft Succulent cardstock. Then I simply cut out the houses and trees from the designer series paper and popped a few up on Stampin Dimensionals. What a fun card to send to a friend or loved one.

And don't forget to decorate the inside too!

Amazing Phrasing is One Of My Favorite Free Sets by Stampin' UP!

 You will find it so easy to create fun and clever cards with this darling stamp set. And it's FREE with a $100 purchase!


Check out all the fun greetings you can add to your cards. 




I paired the greetings set with Countless Trees, a darling stamp set. This is a reversable set that is so fun to work with. To get the solid shape use one side of the stamp and then turn the stamp over to get the detail image. Super Fun! I also used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to cut the hexagon shapes. This is  a very versatile set of dies.




I used the stamp with the leaves on it to stamp the "polka dots" on the cut out leaves - just for fun. And I stamped the same image on the ribbon although it's hard to see in the picture. Stampin on RIBBON - what fun.

Nature's Harvest by Stampin' Up! lights up the Day

 This wonderful layout was designed by Jacque Williams at Stamp Happy. 

I hope you will visit her YouTube channel to see more of her wonderful ideas.

Jacque Williams at Stamp Happy

 and I want to give a big shout out to her for sharing her ideas


Its fun and easy to make this card. You can see a list of supplies that I used for this card at the bottom of my post.  Measurements for the card :

So Saffron Card Base - 11 x 4 1/4 folded in half
Night of Navy layer - embossed with your favorite folder - 5 1/4 x 4
So Saffron Layer - 3 1/8 x 4 1/2
Whisper White for Stamped Layer - 3 x 4 3/8




After stamping the flower - cut off the two pieces at the bottom. This measurement is subjective. Try different cuts to see what you like best.

I popped the stamped pieces up on Stampin' Dimensionals and attached them to the So Saffron layer . 




The bow is awesome! Jacque showed how to do this - just make some loops of ribbon or as in this case, Linen Thread, and tie it in the middle. Attach it with a glue dot - it is so elegant!

I wanted to highlight the embossing around the edge. I used a sponge dauber to spread some White Pearlized Enamel Effects over the embossed image.

If you purchase So Saffron Cardstock ($9.25), Night of Navy Cardstock (9.25) Nature's Harvest Stamp set ($21.00), Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder ($10.00) and Linen Thread ($5) for a total of $54.50 you will earn a free level one Sale-a-bration item of your choice. Who doesn't LOVE FREE?

Sale-a-bration ends 8/31/22 - while supplies last.
