“Extra” Sweet Favor (and EXTRA rewards)

February 6, 2024February 6, 2024Leave a comment

Have you ever stayed overnight where a candy or special small gift was left on your pillow? Those little touches are called “pillow gifts” and makes you feel fancy!

When I saw watermelon-flavored Extra gum while checking out at the grocery store, it made me think of the Watercolor Melon Sale-a-Bration stamp set, and how I could create along a theme:

A perfect size to drop off as a “thinking of you” gift- or leave on a pillow for guest – you pull on the ribbon and out slides the pack of gum:

This do-it-yourself project is simple and sweet, and I’ve got the video to prove it:

Slider box dimensions: 7-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ piece of card stock, scored at 1/2″, 1″, 3-1/2″ and 4″

Sale-a-Bration continues through February 29th; since it’s leap year, you have an “EXTRA” day to earn free products with each $50 purchase in my Stampin’ Store!

Did you also know there are TWO “Extras” you could choose from when you invest in the Starter Kit?

OPTION ONE: The first is that you may choose the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio,

~OR~

OPTION TWO: Choose an EXTRA $30 in products in your Starter Kit! Usually you get to choose $125 of product in your kit for just $99, but through February 2024, you may select $155 (and pay only $99) if this is the option you decide on.

The Starter Kit is an offer ANYONE may select, and you will get a 20% discount while you also get to peek behind the curtain of being a demonstrator. There are no obligations to try it, so why not??

Watermelon Bites & NEW SAB Choices

February 2, 2024February 2, 2024Leave a comment

If you can’t find fresh watermelon during February, watermelon sour bites may satisfy your cravings:

The Scalloped Gift Card box can also hold things aside from gift cards, so I designed this one for a treat box with the Watercolor Melon set (a free option with $50 order from my store through February).

You stamp on the box while it’s flat, then assemble and fill it. Since there are no words in the set, feel free to find the one that fits from your collection! I added the sentiment from the Sweet Citrus stamp set, or anything “sweet” will work! I just learned that you can punch out the WHOLE watermelon *AND* the slice from the Modern Oval punch:

It’s the midway point of Sale-a-Bration – Stampin’ Up!’s biggest party of the year – and they have added NEW options to choose at the $50 and $100 spend threshold. Remember you can mix up your options to equal the total of your order:

Water(color) Melon for Sale-a-Bration

January 20, 2024January 19, 2024Leave a comment

Many of our 2024 Sale-a-Bration freebies coordinate with a new product in the January-April mini catalog, so today I’m showing you how the Watercolor Melon SAB stamp set (an option you can choose free with a $50 order) coordinates with the Modern Oval punch, and that punch *also* matches the Filled with Happiness stamp set!

Let’s say you purchased the Modern Oval punch and Filled with Happiness stamp set and a set of Stampin’ Blends markers, NOW you qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration product…like the Watercolor Melon stamp set!

Hey look! They work interchangeably!

Let’s get a close-up look at these two similar-but-different cards:

Lay down your card stock strips and stamp the “It’s a Good Day” stamp on the white layer BEFORE you emboss it with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid 3-D Embossing Folder.

Stamp the same image again, color in with Stampin’ Blends and punch out the center with the Modern Oval punch to lift up in the center with dimensionals!

Moving on with a similar idea…

Use the slices and wedges of watermelon as your background, then turn your card stock stripes vertically. Use the full watermelon (punched with the Modern Oval) as the place to put your sentiment, which came from the Filled with Happiness set! Isn’t it nice how they all coordinate for bright and beautiful card making?

I guess you could call this one a “Thanks-a-Melon” card! Remember the inside- stamping a little slice of melon with seeds carries the theme through the card.

What are you waiting for? Choosing something free NOW with your qualifying order gives you time to order AGAIN before Sale-a-Bration ends on February 29th, and everyone loves a gift-with-purchase!
