The last two days of Sale-A-Bration are upon us! So do you have FOMO? FOMO stands for fear of missing out. If you have FOMO you need to go shopping in my online store NOW! August 31, this Wednesday is the last day of Sale-A-Bration and your last chance to pick up free Stampin’ Up! products with each $50 you spend on products from our annual catalog and July – December mini catalog. Or…..you could prepay for 3 months of Paper Pumpkin, Stampin’ Up!’s monthly subscription kit. Check it out here.
In addition to the items you can choose from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, you can choose from these additional items that were added the first of August. All the available choices can be seen and ordered here.
Since the last two days of Sale-A-Bration are here, you won’t be able to get these items for free after August 31. The items added in August are in the current catalogs but have different numbers and aren’t free. Shop now and don’t miss out!
This is the second month of Sale-A-Bration and there is more to celebrate! The Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes and the Tree Lot Dies have already sold out! But never fear…there are still many more items from which to choose. In addition, Stampin’ Up! has added a new set of items. You can find these are items in the annual catalog but are being offered for free during Sale-A-Bration with different ordering numbers. Check them out! This link gives you a full-size version of the flyer.
I’m excited that Stampin’ Up! included dies in this new More to Sale-A-Brate offering of products. By ordering the matching stamp set and enough products to make your total $100 you can get the dies for free.
Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Subscription
One way you can increase your total to $100 is to order a 3 month prepaid subscription (137859) to the Paper Pumpkin. This subscription is $67.50 US. If you are already a subscriber, the three months will be added to your subscription and used first. Once the three months are up, your account reverts to a monthly billing.
If you are not familiar with the Paper Pumpkin, it is a monthly subscription program offered by Stampin’ Up! Each month you receive a kit in the mail with all you need to complete a project including an exclusive stamp set. All you need to add is a pair of scissors. Stampin’ Up! is generous with the amount of supplies and you generally have enough left over to create a few more cards of your own design. Complete directions with photos are included. Generally the project is greeting cards but sometimes it is party favors or some type of 3D project. The element of surprise and receiving fun mail adds to the benefits of subscribing to the Paper Pumpkin. Subscribe here for a month by month subscription. However, I encourage you to order the 3 month prepaid subscription and receive Sale-A-Bration awards.
I love this waterfall card with Kindest Gnomes. Waterfall cards are such fun to play with and the gnomes are so cute. The Kindest Gnomes bundle is in the July – December mini catalog and has a wintry feel to the images so it makes a perfect Christmas card. However, gnomes stay around all year so this month I will be featuring projects with the gnomes in all four seasons.
In fact, my August Bundle of the Month is the Kindest Gnomes bundle (159626). Purchase this bundle from me during August and I’ll send you a free bundle of 5 tutorials for projects you can make with this bundle.
There a variety of waterfall cards as the technique has been around for years. Most of the cards have the same-sized pieces for the waterfall so that you see a part of the layers lying underneath the top one. I like this style because the subsequent layers are hidden and a surprise as they flip up. The products I used for this card along with cutting dimensions are below. When you have your pieces cut, follow along with me in the video I made during my Facebook Live today.

Kindest Gnomes Bundle (159626)

Tip for Using Detailed Dies
When using detailed dies like on the evergreen trees. Apply adhesive sheets to the back of your cardstock/glimmer paper/foil sheets before you die cut your images. It will make adhering the images much easier than trying to put small dots of liquid glue on them. In fact, I recommend that you have at least a 5 1/2″ x 4″ piece of each color cardstock backed with an adhesive sheet in your stash so it will be ready when needed.
Thank you for stopping by to read my blog. I’d love to have you first order the supplies to make this card for yourself and then to leave a comment so I know you have been by.
I had such fun creating this Trees For Sale with Trailer greeting card! I used the Trees For Sale stamp set and the coordinating Tree Lot Dies that are one of the free Sale-a-bration choices when you purchase $100 or more during Sale-A-Bration.
The background of this is one of the patterns in the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. It is perfect for backgrounds like this. I hand printed the sign. I used Basic White cardstock that I lightly colored with a Smoky Slate marker to simulate a reflection on the glass for the windows of the trailer. The trees actually were a reject from another card I created with this combination of stamp set and dies. I stamped the solid trees on Basic White cardstock with Evening Evergreen ink. Then I stamped the details with Basic White ink, hoping for a solid white color. However, I like the end result as it blends nicely with the background. A bold solid white would have stuck out.

Making this Rings of Love Fancy Fold card is really quite easy! Start with a Crumb Cake cardstock base. Then add a layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and the beautiful Rings of Love designer series paper that will be free during Sale-a-bration for a $50 purchase.
I stamped the branch, leaves, and nest on crumb cake cardstock with Soft Suede and Parakeet Party ink and fussy cut them out. The bird was stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Starry Night ink stamped off once and the wing with full strength Starry Night ink. I stamped the belly with Daffodil Delight ink and colored the beak with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. When I finished coloring the bird, I punched it out with the Songbird Builder Punch. Next I adhered the branch with the nest and the bird to the front of the narrow upright strip of cardstock. The finishing step was to stamp the greeting and then adhere this piece to the cardbase.
