It’s great to send a card for no reason other than to say hi or offer some encouragement. Stampin’ Up!’s stamp set, Part of My Story is perfect for that! It’s got some great friendship quotes that are perfect for your handmade cards. Bonus – it’s a Level 1 Sale-a-Bration reward! That means that you can select this set for FREE with a $60 product order! This week’s Sunday’s Swap share is a gorgeous sample using this set, created by Andrea Eagleton.
Love it! There’s a number of freebies featured on this card, actually! One of the great friendship quotes from the Part of My Story stamp set, the black and white butterfly print paper is from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Level 1 Sale-a-Bration reward), and yet another freebie is on the bottom of the card – part of a Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet – you get a package of 4 Lovely Lipstick and 4 Grapefruit Grove sheets in a package! She’s embossed the foil with the Dot to Dot Embossing Folder for some awesome texture. More “bling” factor from a Rhinestone Basic Jewel, the Black Shimmer Ribbon and Silver Glimmer Paper, and the overall effect is WOW.
The small butterfly is from the Butterfly Duet Punch – which has been SO popular that it’s sold out for now! Stampin’ Up! is currently awaiting shipment of more product, but anticipating delays in receiving due to shipping port congestion and Eastern shut downs for Chinese New Year…but I will be sure to let you know when it’s available to order again! In the meantime, there are a number of pretty smaller size butterflies in the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies (which is available in a discounted bundle with the Beauty Abounds stamp set).
A great way to grab some of these freebies is by hosting a cardmaking party for your friends. It’s so much fun to get together and do something creative while spending some quality time together. The most popular choice is the standard cardmaking class – each person pays a class fee of $20, and I bring all the supplies and tools needed for each person to create 4 different cards. Contact me to book a date, or discuss other class options! I’m off to do a private class this afternoon for Susan and her friends – will share some of the projects here on the YamStamps Blog in the coming days!
