Welcome to Birdwing Paper Design and the March Artisan Design Team blog hop! I can’t wait to show you what I created using some of the amazing products from the Stampin’ Up! January-June Mini Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration… Second Release.

Sale-A-Bration is an exciting time of year – and it just got better with more fantastic products to earn! More products mean more creative possibilities and more to experiment with! With the purchase of $60 or $120 CAD worth of product from the January-June Mini Catalogue or any other current catalogue, you can earn free Sale-A-Bration products!!

For this month’s blog hop, the team is showcasing the Best Dressed Suite, So Sentimental Stamp set, and an item from the Sale-A-Bration Second Release.

The first card I created used several products from the Best Dressed Suite and a Thank You stamp from So Sentimental.

I was inspired by the bright, beautiful florals of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and created a Mother’s Day card with a sweet surprise inside!

And the surprise… a pop up gift card holder!

I saw this idea for a pop up card from Jennifer Mcguire Ink (visit her blog for video tutorial) and adapted it to hold a gift card!

Isn’t this a fun way to give someone a gift card, especially Mom for Mother’s Day!

The next card also used product from the Best Dressed Suite, but this time I combined it with a new stamp set, Rise and Shine, from the Second Release for Sale-A-Bration!

The Rise and Shine stamp set is free with orders over $120 CAD. For example, if you purchase the Best Dressed Suite ($109.75 CAD) and the So Sentimental stamp set ($30.00 CAD) you would earn the Rise and Shine stamp set for free!

By combining these stamp sets, I created a beautiful cup of spring flowers!

The Rise and Shine stamps are photopolymer with reversible stamps, similar to the Cup of Christmas stamps from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue. This new stamp set even coordinates with the Cup of Cheer Dies! I used the stamped and die cut cups to create another cute pop up.

I loved combining the Best Dressed Suite and So Sentimental stamps with the free Rise and Shine stamp set. Mixing and matching your sets is the best way to get the most use out of your Stampin’ Up! products. What products do you like to mix and match?

Sale-A-Bration is on right now, but don’t wait too long to get your free product… it only runs until March 31, 2020.

Thanks for stopping by and reading more about these cards. Hope you liked the surprise pop ups inside!!
