Sale-a-bration 2019 - Stamp By Stamp Creations

Who likes card kits? Stampin’ Up! card kits are great! They are the perfect way to make a bunch of cards without all of the design work!

Today I’m highlighting a fun kit that you can get for FREE….yes FREE! during Sale-a-bration. The Precious Parcel Card Kit (#149750) is one of the Sale-a-bration items that you can choose for FREE with a $50 order! Woo Hoo!

This kit is absolutely perfect for the beginner crafter because there is no stamping involved and you don’t even need adhesive! The pieces already have adhesive strips on them! Wow!

I put this card kit together while we were driving to MN right after Christmas. Piece of cake! I can’t wait to get another one with my Sale-a-bration rewards!

As you can see from the pictures there is a little piece that slides into a slot in the front. You can write a little note on this piece but you can also open the card up and have another space to write. So cute! Don’t you love the “air mail” envelopes too?!

Don’t judge this kit by the pictures. It’s much cuter in person. We watched someone put the kit together at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event in November and I knew I had to at least give it a try. I’m so glad I did!

This kit will be perfect for my “Mail a Card Monday” challenges. What’s that you say? I mentioned on my Facebook Page (which I hope you all visit and “like”) yesterday but I forgot to mention it here!

I am challenging all of us to mail a card every Monday this year! How easy is that? If you’re like me, you make lots of cards but you kind of don’t get them into the mail. I know…I’m terrible! I need to mail all of these beautiful cards that I make! Just think…if you mail one card every Monday that’s 52 cards that you’ve sent! Let’s do it!

Since I didn’t tell you about this challenge until today I would like you to mail your Monday card today. Just do it! Grab a card and send it to someone. You know you’ll make their day! When you do pop your card in the mail be sure to leave a comment on this post or on my Facebook Page so I know you did it! Let’s flood the mail system and make someone’s day!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping! Make someone’s day!

Happy Monday to you! It’s Make it Mine Monday today! On these special Monday’s I will share with you a lovely card that I’ve seen somewhere and show you how I changed it up to make it my own. Sometimes I change just a little bit and sometimes I change a lot!

Today’s card is made with the Sale-a-bration stamp set Lovely Lattice that you can choose for FREE with a $50 purchase. We demonstrators have a Facebook Page where we can share ideas with each other and this is where I saw today’s lovely and simple card. Thank you Priscilla for sharing it.

I received this stamp set as a door prize at November’s On Stage event. I like coloring but I get a little overwhelmed when there is a lot of it like with this stamp set. I was pretty excited to see this simple card that Priscilla made with it and it gave me hope that the stamp set wouldn’t just sit on my shelf. Ha!

The first thing I changed when making this card my own was to change the card size. Priscilla used a Notecard for her design and the image and sentiment fit perfectly on it. Since I was designing cards for my next class I decided to go with a regular 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ card front size. I then heat embossed my image so that it would stand out a bit more.

Then, since I was using a larger size card I needed to add a few layers. I know…shocker! I can never have enough layers on my cards. The strip of Basic Black cardstock in the background is embossed with of the small embossing folders from the Petal Pair Embossing Folders set.

To really make my image pop I finished off the piece of Whisper White cardstock with the stamped image by punching the four corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. Ta-da! The Make it Mine project is complete!

See how easy it is to transform someone else’s idea to make it your own? My challenge to you is to give Make it Mine Monday a shot. Find an idea that you like and make it your own. Of course, I’d love if you’d share that idea with me. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
