Sneak Peek of Stampin' Up! Lasting Lily Sale-A-Bration set

Stampin' Up! Lasting Lily Stamp Set


I'm showing another sneak peek today of another free Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration selection; the Lasting Lily stamp set.  This is one of the two selections that is free with a $100 order beginning January 3 as part of Sale-A-Bration; and well-worth it!  The lovely stamp set includes this beautiful lily and 10 different sentiments.  I've used two of them on the two versions of the cards I created today.  You'll want to save some of your holiday gift money for January 3, when the new Occasions catalog is released and you'll be able to select free Sale-A-Bration gifts -- like the Lasting Lily stamp set -- with your $50 or $100 order.  




The Stampin' Up! Lasting Lily stamp set is a Distinktive-style stamp set.  That means it uses the special technology patented by Stampin' Up! to make the stamp look like it has been stamped two or three times to crate realistic shading.  



I used my Stamparatus and stamped both Grapefruit Grove lilies at the same time.  Then I use the stems on clear blocks to stamp the stems and the sentiments.  




The ink and papers used were Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White and the polka dots are one of the 6" X 6" In Color 6 X 6" prints from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  The stems and sentiment were stamped in Pear Pizzazz.





The accents in the right hand card are the Grapefruit Faceted Dots form the Accessories section of the  Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  I can't wait to try this beautiful stamp set in more colors.  It is so lovely in real life. 

Recipe

  • Stamps: Lasting Lily available Jan 3
  • Paper:  Grapefruit Grove, Whisper White, In Color 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper
  • Ink:  Grapefruit Grove, Pear Pizzazz
  • Accessories:   Faceted Dots 



Year-End Closeouts continue through January 2 2019



We all love year-end bargains.  Stretch your holiday budget by purchasing discounted merchandise now, while supplies last.   A few surplus items from the annual catalog are also included in this sale.  Don't wait, as some items have already sold out.  

This is also a great time to pick up your retiring favorites from the Holiday catalog that will go away January 2.

If you're like me, you want a complete list of the retiring Holiday catalog items so you can mark up your Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog for easier reference.  Here's a pdf of the Full Year-End Closeout list, including which items are discounted.

Winter Woods bundle will carry over


I love that some of my favorite Holiday Stamp Sets will carry over beyond the Holiday catalog period.  Winter Woods is one of my favorite new stamp sets from the Holiday catalog, and it ties back and works well with the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set and the Rooted in Nature Bundle from the annual Stampin' Up! catalog.

The advantage of purchasing the Winter Woods Bundle now as part of the Year End-Close out is that you can still purchase the stamp set and coordinating dies at a 10% savings when the stamp set and dies are purchased as a bundle.  However, although you'll be able to purchase Winter Woods after the Year-End Closeout, beginning January 3, you won't be able to purchase the set at the 10% bundle savings.  Take a closer look at this fun bundle in the attached video.  Winter Woods - (wood-mount, 149991; clear-mount - 149992).  I recommend the clear mount, as it works with the Stamparatus, if you choose to use it.  Wood-mount stamps don't work with your Stamparatus.

      Stampin' Up! Lovely Lattice Stamp Set

      • A Sneak Peek at the Lovely Lattice Sale-A-Bration set
      • Stay home and shop Stampin' Up! Year-End Closeouts on-line
      • Stamparatus Bag now available for customers to purchase

      Stampin' Up! Lovely Lattice Stamp Set


      Today's card is a sneak peek at one of the free selections from the Sale-A-Bration brochure customers will be able to select with a $50 order beginning January 3.  Demonstrators can order early so we have time to showcase these new products and make samples for our classes before they are generally available.  




      The Stampin' Up! Lovely Lattice stamp set was one I almost passed up in the Sale-A-Bration selection brochure.  I'm so glad I added it to my order at the last minute before I hit the "order" button.  I'm working on Thank You cards for after Christmas, and decided to play with this set .  Wow!  I love stamp sets that are fast and easy to use.  This card came together in a matter of minutes.  I was so tempted to add embellishments or a ribbon, which I'll probably try in a later card, but I'm so pleased with the simple look of this card I'm glad I didn't add anything.  




      This card used the sentiment from Butterfly Gala.    The main image is the from the Lovely Lattice Stamp set.


      available beginning January 3, 2019



      Cardstock is Crumb Cake.  Ink is Night of Navy.  So very simple, you'll have your after-Christmas Thank You cards stamped in the blink of an eye.  This is a great card if you're a new stamper since it uses limited supplies.  I can't wait to try coloring this stamp set with blends or colored pencils.


      Recipe

      • Stamps: Lovely Lattice, Butterfly Gala (Sentiment) Both available Jan 3
      • Paper:  Crumb Cake, Night of Navy
      • Ink:  Night of Navy
      • Accessories:   None, But a simple ribbon of Night of Navy or Crumb Cake  Classic Weave Ribbon would easily step up the look of this card, if you're looking for more punch.

          Share What You Love Embellishment Kit on Year-End Closeout

          • Stampin' Up! Thank you Card Pack using Year-End Closeout items
          • Stampin' Up! Share What You Love Embellishment Kit 50% off
          • Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon at 50% off
          • New Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag Available to customers

          Stampin' Up! Christmas Gift Idea


          I was soooo excited as I finished looking through all the items on the Year-End Closeout sale to find that a few surplus items from the Stampin' Up! Annual catalog made the Year-End Closeout sale.

          The timing couldn't be better.  You're looking for easy hand made gift ideas, and with the What You Love Embellishment Kit and the 1/4" Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon -- both at 50 percent off -- you can create a very thoughtful pack of Thank You cards for someone important to you for the Holidays.  

          Everyone needs Thank You cards following the holidays.  This card uses the Love What You Do Stamp Set, Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and items on Year End-Close out.  Create four of these cards, and then use the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit as a matching gift box for your 4 cards.   

          The die cut labels are from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.  I selected a Crumb Cake Base Card and added a strip of Rich Razzleberry cardstock on the left side of the card, and Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper for the majority of the card face.  This beautiful paper has a beautiful shimmer to the lighter-colored areas.   
                  

            



          I used a piece of the 1/4" Rich Razzleberry Velvet ribbon down the seam between the two paper.  The sentiment from Love What You Do is stamped on the die-cut label in Rich Razzleberry ink.    

          Click for a larger image
               

          The cover of the Share What you Love Embellishment Kit matches the print in the designer series paper paper I chose for the card front.  And the box includes the Stampin' Up! Statement of the Heart.    The embellishment kit includes two sizes of labels you can use on different projects, Tranquil Tide Bakers Twine, pearlized thread, adhesive backed metal roses, and Silver and Grapefruit Grove paper clips.  This is a beautiful box to use as a gift box after you remove the accessories. It holds your finished cards perfectly.  

          The best news is that the Share What You Love Accessory Kit is on Year-End Closeout at 50% off!  This normally $11.00 kit is on sale now for US$5.50, until supplies run out.  Item number 146928.





          The other amazing item used to make this a stand-out Thank You card is the 1/4" Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon,  I can't stop touching this beautiful ribbon.  Best news yet is that this ribbon is also on the Year-End Closeout list.  It, too, is 50 percent off.  This ribbon is normally $8.00, but if you purchase it between now and January 2 on the Year-End Closeout, you'll pay only US$4.00 for 10 yards of this gorgeous velvet ribbon.  Item number 147016.   
            

              


          Take advantage of the Year-End Closeouts and purchase these items to make a few Thank You card gift packs to have on hand as hostess gifts, for a special friend, or as a last-minute gift for your hair dresser or the UPS lady who delivers your Stampin' Up! order. 


          Before finalizing your order for these products, scroll through the Year-End Closeout items on my online store that are part of the Holiday Catalog Retiring products, and pick up those items you've had your eye on before they sell out.   To view other products in the Stampin' Up! product line that can be included in your total order, download both the annual and holiday catalogs
