Sale-A-Bration Banner Blast Birthday Card

We had a special birthday here last week - my daughter turned 10!  Every year she gets a card made with the gorgeous new Sale-A-Bration products.  This year I chose to use the Banner Blast stamp set & combined it with one of her all-time favourites, the cupcake punch & stamp set.  The best thing is you can get this stamp set free when you order $90 worth of product.  In fact if you ordered just 3 of the products I used on this card you would be there already!

I really like the new Hardwood background stamp from the NEW Occasions catalogue.  It is quite versatile & looks great as a background, don't you think?  The Occasions catalogue is jam packed full of lovely new stamps, tools & bundles, plus there are a few carry over items from the Holiday catalogue too.  If you would like your very own copy of the new catalogues feel free to contact me so I can get them in the mail for you.

Something Old, Something New - 2014 Occasions Catalogue Sneak Peek

A nice big box full of Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue product arrived 2 days ago, but life got in the way..…until now.   I managed to finally get creating with my lovely new products today. Nicole, (from Nic Nac Lovelies) & I had a lovely craft day creating lots of new sneak peeks just for you.   The Occasions catalogue goes live 28th January, so not long to wait!

One of the many reasons I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is we get to preorder & play with all the new catalogue products a whole month before they are released.  I loved the So Grateful stamp set right away & could see lots of great uses for it.  Today I chose to water colour it using my blender pens & markers.   I could have sworn I saw a card just like this recently but it seems I may have dreamt it.  I looked high & low today & I could not find anything like it.  So, it seems it may just be my very own creation.

I don't often use subtle colours.  Those of you that know me, know I am far from subtle ;) I am a more bright, In Colour type of girl.  For this card I wanted to use the Venetian Romance DSP and for some reason Baked Brown Sugar & Blushing Bride.  They work well together don't you think?

I have used 3 new sneak peek products here - can you pick it?  That twine is a Sale-ABration item coming very very soon & the striped flag is from a new Occasions Catalogue stamp set called Perfect Pennants.

I have lots more sneak peeks in store for you.   Sale-A-Bration is just under 3 weeks away so for the next few weeks you will be seeing my countdown creations to this very special event.  Once again this year I am holding my Sale-A-Bration day event on the 23rd February.  Last year's event was an all day saga, however, this years will run 10:30 am - 4:00 pm & will be held at my house.  More info regarding this day will be released next week.  But for now, keep that date free if you would like to attend.
