Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring Sale-A-Bration products. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of inspiration from them. You may have started here or arrived from Krissi Hannah’s fabulous blog. Either way, you’re in the right place.
I was inspired by a trifold card on Sharon Burkert’s blog here. I loved Sharon’s project and, like her, I am fond of Black and White and a touch of red. However, I couldn’t just copy her card for this hop, so I used the design but different elements.
I started with the Bermuda Bay Card Base and then added the Lovely Lily Impressions DSP. Then I had to choose between using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and the matching Dies, and the Power of Hope Bundle. I chose the latter, then I realised that I had used Bermuda Bay and the Stone 3D Embossing Folder last Hop. Oh well, I did say that I love both!
After I had put the stone texture on the top flap, I swiped that panel with a Whisper White Inkpad to bring the panel to life. I then paper-pieced the kimono with a slightly different pattern of the DSP. From there, I just kept adding elements like the twine and sequins.
Theses pics show how the circle panel sits inside the circular “hole” in the top flap.
And finally, I added the greeting panel with a strip of DSP, sequins and a little lantern. Can you see how I made a fringe on the lantern with the twine?

At my last card class we made a collection of cards using the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack, paired with the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set, the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper, the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories and More Cards and Envelopes, and the Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder.
We mixed and matched this coordinating suite of products with other products and everyone loved the results. Such pretty cards. The Memories and More Card Pack has printed vellum and sticker sheets, as well as 50 double sided cards with Images and Words – the cards come together so easily.
I will be holding my next card class on 11 February and we will be creating cards with some of the Sale-A-Bration products you can get FREE with qualifying purchases during this promotion.

Earlier this month I held an open house event in my home to launch the Stampin’ Up! January – June (J J) Mini Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I prepared lots of samples using some of the new products and we had Make N Takes, Prizes, Nibbles, Bubbles and everyone got to take home a copy of the Mini Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.
We had lots of fun and I wanted to share some of the projects from that day. It was a small group, maybe something to do with the fact that it was 42 degrees, although the aircon did a great job of keeping us cool.
I think this card is just gorgeous. I particularly love the combination of the petal pink with the champagne foil, ribbon and champagne rhinestones.
Suppliesused:
Stamps: –Forever Blossoms (151457- p16 of the J-J Mini Catalogue ) Beautiful Day (151257- p131 Annual Catalogue)
Tools: –Stitched Stars Dies carried over from 2019 Holiday Mini Catalogue), Stitched Rectangles Dies
Embellishments: – Silver Thread.
I hope you like the cards I have shared. I would love to hear what you think.
