Beautiful Sale-A-Brations for 2024
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Sale-A-Bration. We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
A new year, a new catalog and a new chance to earn free products from Stampin’ Up! A great time for a blog hop. The beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper as well as the Stamp Set used to create the projects below, are available for free during Sale-A-Bration.
Believe it or not, these two cards use the same “sketch” and basic elements. Do you have a favorite?
And, the insides…..
Nuts & Bolts Basics:
Paper Cuts:
- Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″, score at 3-1/4″ on the long side.
- Top Panel Layers:
- Red Cardstock – 3″ x 5-1/4″
- SDSP – 2-3/4″ x 5″
- Bottom Panel: 1-1/8″ x 5-1/4″
- Inside Panel: 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″
- Banners (from point to point)
- Portrait Banner: Red – 1-1/2″ x 3-1/2″; White 1-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
- Landscape Banner: Black – 1-1/2″ x 4-1/4″; Red – 1-3/8″ x 4-1/8″; White – 1-1/4″ x 4″
Decorate as desired.
Tools:
- Bee Builder Punch (New!)- I used the little heart
- Triple Banner Punch (retired)
- Stampin’ Trimmer
- Take Your Pick Tool with Crafter Tips
Tip: Use the left over pieces after punching the flag end of the banner to create the point. You’ll find them underneath the punch.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be “Love is in the Air” on February 14th.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.

Beautiful Sale-A-Brations Product Showcase:
Very pretty Valentine’s Day cards.
Thanks a bunch Lisa.
Perfect Valentines, Rae! This paper is so pretty! Love them both.
Thank you Karen.
Sweet Valentines! And these papers are just perfect!
Thank you Mary
Oh, Rae, these cards are so wonderful! I like that you used both the white and red papers together. I haven’t gotten the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set yet since there were enough stamps in that one that I wouldn’t be able to use, but I do like it a lot. Hope you’re feeling back to normal now!
Thank you Debbie. I’m feeling so much better. Thank you.
I love them both Rae and now know I need to get that DSP! Great job! 🙂
Thank you Beth. Glad to help you out! LOL!
Love how you put you own stamp on this DSP Rae and showcased it in all its shiny splendor. Wishing you good health and good fun in the New Year!
Thank you Deb
Fantastic card Rae! What a perfect way to show off those gorgeous papers!!
Thank you Melissa
Rae, these cards are perfectly put together. I love how you used the same sketch for both. Thank you for sharing that. It’s been a while since I followed a sketch, but you inspired me. Also, congratulations on your well-deserved recent SU achievement!
Thank you Debbie. I didn’t exactly follow a sketch. I created while I was creating the first card (portrait version). It happens a lot. Guess I should start a sketch book. 🙂
Great cards, Rae! They really show off that DSP.
Thank you Tricia!
Wonderful cards, Rae! Love how they show off the SAB products, and I can’t choose a favorite!
Thank you Su. I thought I had a favorite and then I viewed them online and can’t decide either. LOL!
What pretty cards!!! Love the coordination of the DSP!
Thank you so much Dara.
I love both cards and the layouts! Both are very sweet!
Thank you Windy!
