2016 SALE-A-BRATION LAST CHANCE BLOG HOP

On the 5th of January, Stampin’ Up! demonstrators around the world were super excited.  In just a few days we will be super sad as we are about to say……. Goodbye! to all of the wonderful goodies (freebies) within the 2016 Sale-A-Bration catalogue.  So, just in case you have been sleeping under a rock, Sale-A-Bration is the time of the year where for any purchase of $90 (in Australia) you can choose a free product.  These products are exclusively chosen and brand new for the Sale-A-Bration festivities.

I have again joined the Team at ESAD for a blog hop.  You may have started at my post, or you may have hopped on over from Jackie Noble.  What did you think of her project, wasn’t it snazzy?  I have been following Jackie’s blog for a little while now and always find a lot of inspiration.

 

I think this Sale-A-Bration promotion has been my favourite in my 4 years of being a Stampin’ Up! (c) demonstrator.  If I was to create a list of my favourites from the 2016 promotion, it would look something like this:

•  Botanicals For You Stamp Set

•  Memories in the Making Project Life Specialty Card Collection

•  Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper

•  Hello Stamp Set

But, my most favoured items are the Honeycomb Happiness and the Metallics Glitter Tape.  My project today is going to use both of these items (and I hope it spurs you on to think about different ways to use Washi Tape of all descriptions).

Seeing as this blog is going live on Good Friday Eve, I immediately thought of creating a cute Easter card, with the chick being the centre of attention.  Now, isn’t the chick just the cutest thing you have seen in a long time?

Although she is stamped onto Shimmery White Card Stock, I have been reading and seeing projects where you can also use the Winks of Stella pens just like Aqua Painters.  I am really happy that the photo has picked up the sparkles left by the Winks of Stella (clear) pen.  I picked up Daffodil Delight and coloured as if I was aqua painting.  It is a bit clever, because my Winks of Stella has not held onto any of the colour.

And seeing as I was unable to choose just one favourite items from the 2016 Sale-A-Bration, I also included the Metallic Glimmer Tape to add a special sparkly border to my card.

As explained on a previous blog, I am making a concerted effort to also decorate the inside of my cards.  On this occasion, I have carried through the theme, although, I didn’t include any Winks of Stella this time, I used the Aqua Painter with the Daffodil Delight.

Well, thanks for visiting, and I would love to hear your thoughts, so please feel free to leave a comment.

Your next stop on the hop is Barbara Williams.  I wonder what she has in store for you.
