If you don't know about Sale-A-Bration then let me tell you about it right now! It's the best time of the Stampin' Up! year because you can easily 'earn' some FREE STAMP SETS (or ribbon or DSP) during this promotion. What's not to love about FREE (most of the time) anything?
For every $50 order you place you will earn one FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration mini-catalog. You can also earn free Sale-a-Bration product/s by hosting a workshop or becoming a demonstrator. Sale-a-Bration runs from February 1-March 31, 2009 so there's still plenty of time to take advantage of this opportunity.
How about some samples? My stampin' friend, Kimberley Morris, came up with this cute Valentine Treat Holder using the Yummy stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration mini catalog. (And how can YOU get one????)
Then I changed it up for a "Meet & Greet" shower favor that we're going to have for Zion and his mommy and daddy next weekend (which was his 'due' date but he decided to arrived early and wipe out the originally planned shower!) The only M&Ms I have in the house right now are pink Valentine ones and I just didn't have the heart to put them in this little bag. I'll be getting some before the shower though.
I almost forgot to tell you what the ingredients are for this bag! You really need your Big Shot for this one! I used the new Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I Texturz Plates (114512, p. 203), the Bigz Stampin' Up! Top Note die (113463, p. 196) and the new Stampin' Up! Movers & Shapers Curly Label Bigz XL die (114506, p. 195). Of course, I used the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439, p. 193).
Additionally:
Stamp Set: Yummy (S-A-B)
Cardstock: Kraft, Baja Breeze
Ink: Baja Breeze
Other Accessories: Baja Breeze Striped Grosgrain ribbon, Crop-a-dile, medium cello bags (when I add the M&Ms I'll be using that cello bag!), SNAIL adhesive
I'll prepare a tutorial to walk you through the steps for this project because it's not quite as it appears. Look for it tomorrow or the next day.
Do you remember the card I showed in mid-January using the same colors? I just love the Manchester Designer Seriers Paper.
You can order online at anytime via my Stampin' Up! demonstrator website or by contacting me directly via email. Take advantage of Sale-a-Bration!
I'll be back tomorrow with a step-by-step tutorial on making these great treat bags.
Still snowin' in Mi Wuk Village......
