Hello and welcome to this month’s Stamptastic Friends blog hop ! We are sharing our favourite Sale-A-Bration products this month and I know you are going to love what we have created…. I’m so happy to be back blogging with the team after a stressful few months with a website re-build with the amazing support of Louise Sims Web Services.
What is Saleabration?
It is Stampin’ Up! ‘s annual sale where for every £45 you spend you earn a free SAB product. The Sale_A-Bration products are split into two categories: some are free based on £45 spend and some are free based on £90 spend.
Today I’ve used the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set (free with a £45 spend) and the Small Bloom punch (free with a £90 spend). I earned both of these when I ordered the Birthday Bonanza suite bundle and the Layered with Kindness stamp set and co-ordinating punches. I will be sharing some makes with those products soon.
I’ve made a more detailed card which uses two step stamping and some heat embossing for the sentiment. I opted to use Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Rococco Rose ink pads but you could use any alternative colours.

Quick gift box with paper trimmer
I was enjoying myself so much I made a co-ordinating gift box to accompany the above card. I made it using the new paper trimmer and at 8 centimetres square it is perfectly sized for wrapping up jewellery.

You will find a list of the products I’ve used below the blog hop list in case you’d like to order them a have a go too.

Now let’s see what everyone has created today!
