Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Sale-A-Bration!
So happy you are hopping through our January Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring projects using Sale-A-Bration exclusive products! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.
My card features the Bloom Impressions 12″ x 12″ DSP (#164944), free with a $60 purchase, and Heart Shaped Bundle (#164953) free with a $120 purchase. Both grabbed me as soon as I saw them!
My card base is Melon Mambo, with a layer of Bloom Impressions 12″ x 12″ DSP (#164944) and then a 3-3/4″ square of Basic White. On the square, I stamped the wreath from the Heart Shaped Bundle (#164953) in Melon Mambo and then 3 times in Flirty Flamingo. Another 1″ x 4″ strip of DSP was added to the left of the score line and a bow of white Baker’s Twine (#155475) tied over it. I used the die to cut the shape for the sentiment and finished the card with 3 Adhesive-Backed Pearl Trio (#163319).
I also stamped 2 corners on the inside panel.
Thanks for hopping with us this month. Next go to –> Julia’s blog to see what she has created.

Stamping Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle – New Products!
Welcome to our January Blog Waddle! We call ourselves ducklings, so we waddle from blog post to blog post, instead of hop!! We are featuring products from the just released Sale-A-Bration brochure, January-April Mini-Catalog, Online Exclusives, January 2025 Scrapbooking brochure, and Kits!
Here is a sneak peek of my card.
I was going to focus on a Sale-A-Bration item, but when I woke up to snow this morning, I wanted a small sign of Spring!! So I grabbed the Delightful Wishes Bundle (#164710) found in the new Mini-Catalog! I started with a Pool Party card base 4-1/2″ x 8-1/2″.
Next is a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Pool Party, embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (#163414). The branch was die cut in Pecan Pie. I stamped the flowers in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Old Olive, then die cut them. Wishing was die cut in Daffodil Delight for the background and Basic White for the word. The sentiment was stamped in Daffodil Delight, die cut, and adhered with small strips of Mini-Stampin Dimensionals (#144108). Thank goodness for Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) to adhere everything else on this card!! I added a bow of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (#164715) to complete my card.
All participants in this month’s waddle:
1. Sheryl Diemer 2. Lori Helvick 3. Sue Boerner
