Also starting today is the annual Sale-A-Bration promotion which runs from 3rd January until 31st March 2020.

Just in case you aren't sure how the Sale-a-Bration promotion works, for every $90 you spend (before shipping) on any Stampin' Up! products (either from the Annual Catalogue, Mini Catalogue or Clearance Rack) you get to choose a free product from the Sale-a-Bration promotion selection. There are a couple of bigger free items on offer that you can redeem if you spend $180 or more which includes framelits, a punch and a stamp set/embossing folder bundle.

There is also a recruiting special during Sale-a-Bration, where you will get a bonus Free mini paper cutter, a sample pack of 6"x6" Designer Series Paper from the Mini Catalogue and a free stamp set of your choice. If you would like more information or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You don't need to sell, you can join just to get a discount on your Stampin' Up! purchases.

For more information on joining click here.

Click here to head over to my Promotions page for more details on Sale-A-Bration and the current joining promotion.

If you prefer hard copy catalogues to look through (like me), over PDF on screen catalogues, there are a couple of ways you can get your hands on some.

All of my wonderful customers who made a purchase within the last 6 months, should have received their complimentary copy of both the 2020 Mini & Sale-A-Bration Catalogues in the post during December (if you haven't received your copy yet, please let me know).

If you haven't placed an order recently and would like to get your hands on a copy of these catalogues, there are 2 ways to get them. (Sorry, Australian Residents only)

1. Place an order during January and you'll receive your complimentary catalogues in the post.

2. If you aren't quite ready to place an order, I'm happy to provide the catalogues for free, but would just need you to pay $5 to cover postage costs. You'll receive a $5 credit on your first order placed during Jan-Mar 2020.

Please get in contact if you'd like to organise the catalogues to be posted, and I'll send through payment details.

Ink it! Stamp it! Design Team Blog Hop | Theme: 2020 Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues

Welcome to the Ink it! Stamp it! Design Team Blog Hop. This month we will be sharing projects inspired by the new 2020 Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogues. The full line up below will guide you through all the projects.

I have chosen to #loveitchopit some of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper available in the 2020 Mini Catalogue and teamed it with some favourites from the 2019-20 Annual Catalogue.

The sheet used in my card today comes from the Best Dressed 6x6 Designer Series Paper (151319), available from 3rd January 2020 in the 2020 Mini Catalogue.

My card layout was inspired by the latest Sunday Stamps #SSC220 Keep It Open Sketch Challenge

***********************

A super simple yet pretty card, made using only a few products.

The card base is Lovely Lipstick and I cut a panel from my sheet of DSP and layered some Petal Pink cardstock underneath prior to adhering it to my card front.

My sentiment comes from the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set and is stamped in Old Olive ink on some Whisper White cardstock which was cut out using the label from the Frosted Bouquet dies.

Using some Old Olive, Petal Pink and Lovely Lipstick cardstock, I die cut some leaves and flower buds stems using dies also from the Frosted Bouquet dies. These were adhered to my card front, prior to attaching the sentiment panel with some Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)

Notes of Kindness | All Inclusive Card Kit

Do you need a few Thank You / Birthday / Encouragement / Any Occasions cards for your stash or for a specific event/project, but don't know where or how to start in creating them from scratch......

Or perhaps you don't have all the "bits" you need.....

Or are you in a bit of a creative mojo slump and need to just make something without having to design it yourself......

If this sounds like you, then you should consider trying out one of the Stampin' Up! all-inclusive card kits.

These kits include everything you'll need to create 20 cards. The only extra things you'll need are scissors for any ribbon/twine and your favourite adhesive.

********************

Late last year I showed you the pretty Lots of Happy Card Kit (click here to checkout my post), which I am excited to say is still available to purchase as it carried over to the 2019-20 Annual catalogue - YAY!

Today I would like to show you the Notes Of Kindness Card Kit. This kit includes everything you'll need to make a total of 20 cards - 5 each of 4 different designs. Plus you get a pretty kraft storage or giftable box that it all comes in.

The cards in this kit are all Note Card sized (so a little smaller than a standard A6 card) - the folded card size is 8.9cm x 12.7 cm (3.5" x 5").

Here is what you'll get in the box:

Here are the contents opened up and spread out:

The kit includes an instruction booklet showing what components to use on each card and how to put each one together.

********************

Here are the stunning cards you'll end up with once you have put the kit together. You get 5 each of 4 different designs.

Each card comes with a stunning envelope decorated on the inside/flap.
