Ready for Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration in 2018?

  • Cheers to a New Year
  • Last Chance at Year End Sale
  • Occasion catalog items available January 3

Happy New Year


I haven't posted in a while as I'm spending time with family over the holidays, and working hard to prepare samples from the new Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure when the catalogs go live on January 3.  I'll show some sneak peeks tomorrow.   

I wanted to share these final holiday items before its, sadly, time to put these sets away.  If you still haven't pick up your favorites, you only have a couple of days left -- until Jan 2 -- to pick up discounted and retiring holiday items on the Year End sale.  

These cute little treat boxes using the Cheers for the Year set, were a topic in a previous post, where you can also find the dimensions and the product list.  However, they seemed appropriate today.        
  
  



Silver ribbons, Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, and Holiday die cut make these fast and simple.  These are perfect for filling with candy wrapped in silver, like silver Hershey Chocolate kisses.  






.     

One other set I used for Holiday projects were these cute clear plastic square treat boxes decorated with the Cat Punch.  If you thought the Cat punch was only used for Halloween, these cute treat holder prove differently.  For the treat box on the right I punched the cat from Red Glimmer paper, and trees punched using dies from Carols of Christmas.  I used some retired Glimmer paper from last year's Sale-A-Bration catalog for the treat box on the right, and added coordinated color candies.  





This punch will carry over from this year's Holiday catalog, so if you're looking for cute ideas for Valentine's Day and love cats, this will continue to be an item you can purchase in 2018.  You'll want to use item number 144666, as this is a Holiday Catalog carry over item and isn't in the Occasions catalog coming out in January.

I had Stampin' Up! send new catalogs to customers who have recently purchased from me, and I know you're finding new items you can't wait to purchase January 3.

Hanukkah Cards

  • New Clearance Rack Items Added - Save up to 60%
  • Everyone can Pre-order Stamparatus until December 30, 2017

Finishing Holiday Cards


Today's project is a Hanukkah card using a retired set, called Jewish Celebrations, that I updated by using current Stampin' Up! products. 

I know, I'm late in getting these cards in the mail, but last week kind of got away from me.  Could be that I've spent too much time playing with the 26 new stamp sets I pre-ordered from the new Occasions catalog and earned from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. . . a pre-order is one of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  More about these wonderful sets in an upcoming post.      
  
  



The basecard for these Hanukkah cards is Pacific Point, then a layer of Whisper White, then another layer of Pacific Point.  On top of the Pacific Point I layered a silver acetate sheet from the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate.    

The white snowflake is the back side of one of the Foil Snowflakes.  The image was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  The image was die cut using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. 

    







The banners are 1" wide and were cut from Basic Gray and Whisper White.  A small, silver Metallic Foil Dollie is placed between the two banners.  

I added a small bow of 3/8" Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon, adhered with three glue dots.  






The silver embossing, Silver doilies,  and silver acetate design didn't show well, so I took several photos to try and capture the beauty of this card.
