In my Facebook Live on Monday, I shared two cards featuring two different Saleabration products that are free with a $50 order – the beautiful Heal Your Heart stamp set and the Field and Floral DSP.
The first card I shared was the beautiful Heal Your Heart Stamp set paired it with the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. Does this card look familiar to you? I copied it directly out of the Saleabration brochure – it is simple and very elegant looking! Our catalogs are a source of amazing project ideas – don’t be afraid to use them in your crafting!
If you missed my FB Live, you can watch it on replay below!
I LOVE the font used in the Heal Your Heart stamp set – for this card I stamped it in Night of Navy on a Basic White Stitched Circle.
The second card featured the Flower and Field DSP – I punched 1 1/2″ circles from the DSP and added them to my card front. I used the largest Stitched with Whimsy Dies to create a stitched border around the card front.
I pulled out my new favorite tool – the Blending Brushes – and added some Pool Party ink to my daisy – pulling this idea from the DSP – the daisys have a touch of Pool Party towards the center. I love the colors in this card and in the DSP – it sure brings a touch of sunshine to my day – and hope it brightened your day as well!
My team and I would love to have you join our We'd Rather Bee Stampin' family! Joining during Sale-a-Bration is the perfect time! The additional 200 sheets of Sneak Peek 6x6 Designer Series Paper from the next Annual Catalog, a $57.50 value, is just the icing on the cake.

It’s so hard to believe that Saleabration ends on February 28, this coming Sunday! This week on my blog and on my Facebook Lives, I will be featuring products that you can earn for free with a qualifying order! First up is this striking card using the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper and the Poppy Moments dies.
To create this card, I used my 1 1/2″ circle punch and punched out some different patterns from the DSP, and attached them to a panel of Basic White that I’d embossed with the Subtles Embossing Folder.
The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set – a must-have for any birthday occasion!
Tutorial:
Start with a panel of Basic White, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.
Emboss a 4 x 5 1/4 panel with the Subtles 3D Embossing Folder and adhere to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
Use a 1 1/2″ circle punch to stamp out six circles – attach to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.
Wrap Linen Thread around the card front and secure with a knot.
Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the solid floral dies, using Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Crop the detailed Floral Dies with Rococo Rose cardstock.
Use Basic Black Cardstock to crop the floral centers – and adhere all of the floral pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Attach to the card front with dimensionals
Stamp the greeting on a small strip of Crumb Cake cardstock with Cherry Cobbler ink. Punch a small hole in the Crumb Cake panel and tie it to Linen Thread securing it with a bow.
To finish the card, add a few Black Matte Dots.

This week I am focusing on the beautiful True Love Designer Series Paper – it is gorgeous – who doesn’t love a great black and white DSP?
My hope is to share some ways to use up your stash of Designer Series Paper – As paper crafters, we all have that stash – and we should use it!
Today’s card goes together quickly – I just adhered a strip of DSP to the side of the card, and then cut the beautiful flower from the Designer Series Paper – there are several different flowers that can be cut from the paper – of varying sizes. All work great on a card front! I added color to my flower with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends.
My greeting is from a wonderful new word set called Happy Thoughts – found in the January – June catalog. I love this set because the greetings are great – and because it includes greetings perfect for both the front and the inside of your cards.
MEASUREMENTS:
Basic White Thick Cardstock: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
True Love DSP: 1 x 5 1/2
Happy Thoughts Stamp Set
INSTRUCTIONS:
Adhere the strip of DSP to the card as shown.
Use Paper Snips to trim the flowers from the True Love DSP.
Color with Stampin’ Blends.
Loop and adhere the Black and White Baker’s Twine as shown.
Adhere the snipped flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Embellish with three Matte Black Dots.

Yesterday was my Facebook Live “Take Two” and I made two more projects featuring all the cute chick bundles! First up was a fun fold card – that stands up – fun for the recipient to put on their desk or windowsill for their birthday!
Look how cute the corn stalks are – and even the detail on the corn cobs! So cool! These are from the Chick Dies and what is great is that the dies contain several of the dies corn cob and husks for the corn – making it so easy to crop out several at once!
My next project was a really cute candy holder – the base of which is one of our Acetate boxes – sized to fit a full size card – but when you cut it in half – as I did, it becomes a cute little candy holder – I found some peanut butter eggs to put in my sample! I added some crumb cake colored shreds to make it look like a nest!
This mama hen is walking across the picket fence to check on her little chick! Isn’t she cute? And can I tell you again how much I love the fence die!

Today, Stampin’ Up! released dies to coordinate with the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set found in our January – June catalog. The dies aren’t in the catalog – but are available starting today! Also today, Stampin’ Up! has brought back the Hey Chick stamp set from Saleabration 2017 – and also a set of coordinating dies for that stamp set as well!
I made these two cards on my Facebook Live yesterday and am sharing below the recording if you’d care to watch. You’ll be able to “see” how I put these cards together – neither are difficult at all to make, and pack a punch of cuteness!
This first card uses the picket fence die – probably my favorite die in this set! And I love the pop of color when it’s done in red!
The designer paper behind the chick is from the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper Stack which is one of our current FREE offerings through Saleabration – (get it for free with a $50 product order.)
I wanted to add a Real Red dot to the card – and simply used my Dark Real Red Blend to color one of our In Color 2020-2020 Dots – to make it red and match my card! Of course, you can do this with any blends – so you will always have an embellishment to match your card!
This next card has a fun pop up when it’s opened. Don’t miss the Stitched With Whimsy dies – they are what I used to create the stitched border on the card front (and inside panel, too). They reminded me of chicken scratch! These dies are found on page 72 of our January – June Catalog and I feel like they are getting overlooked! They are a great set of dies and go along perfectly with these whimsical chicks!
Here’s the pop up!
