Third Thursdays Blog Hop: Sale-a-Bration Second Release

Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month our theme for the hop is Sale-a-Bration SECOND Release! We have several NEW Sale-a-Bration FREE Items that have been added for your selection RIGHT NOW...as well as some Sale-a-Bration Coordination DIES and A PUNCH that will be available for purchase March 1st!!!

I don't have any of the NEW items yet, so I'm featuring a simple card made with products that will coordinate with some of the items available March 1st. I decided to feature the Sale-a-Bration FREE So Hoppy Together Stamp Set, because there are some NEW Hop Around Framelits Dies (available for purchase March 1-31) that coordinate with the set! {you'll find individual Product Purchase Links for the items I used in my projects, below the Blog Roll}

I tried to keep this card pretty simple...it started out as a Call Me Clover monochromatic card, but I decided to add the Watercolor Pencils, and a bit of Pacific Point Cardstock to give it just a bit more dimension. It might be hard to see from the lighting, but the wings of the little dragonfly bug, and the frog's glasses, both have a little bit of glimmer from the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

NEW Hop Around Framelits Dies

The NEW Hop Around Framelits Dies, shown above, will coordinate with the FREE Sale-a-Bration So Hoppy Together Stamp Set. I "fussy cut" the little dragonfly bug on my card, but you can see there is a die that would cut that out FOR you! There are also some extra dies that will help you create lily pads for your frogs. Below is a sample card made using the dies, as well as a NEW More Than Words Stamp Set that will have some fun froggie phrases like "hopping by" and "jumping in".

Again, the coordinating dies (and stamp set) will not be available until March 1st, but you can still buy the products I used on my card today to qualify for your FREE So Hoppy Together Stamp Set, and get started with your "hoppy" creations right now!

Stampin' Supplies: So Hoppy Together Stamp Set (FREE Sale-a-Bration Item), Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes, Whisper White Cardstock, Pacific Point Cardstock, Call Me Clover Cardstock, Call Me Clover Ink Pad, Watercolor Pencils, Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, Stampin' Sponge, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive, Paper Snips, Stampin' Trimmer (for cutting & scoring), Simply Shammy (to clean stamps).

We Create Blushing Blog Hop

Welcome to the February 2019 We Create BLUSHING Blog Hop!!! This month we are creating projects using pinks and reds! My card features the Meant to Be stamp set, which is in the 2019 Occasions Catalog that debuted January 3rd. I'm also using the So Hoppy Together stamp set you can earn as a FREE Item during 2019 Sale-a-Bration!
{scroll to the bottom of this post for ALL product purchase links}

I think adding the frog from the So Hoppy Together stamp set alongside the hearts makes a great Valentine card for a special person in your life who brings you joy, but maybe someone you are not super close friends or partners with. It's cute and sweet, but not too lovey-dovey. You could even leave the ribbon off, if that's one step too far for you!

I love this frog on the unicycle, he looks like he's ready to juggle something. So, I gave him some hearts to toss around. Lol, that sounds pretty callous...let's just clarify that they are candy hearts! They are inked up in Flirty Flamingo, but I stamped them off once before stamping them on the card, so they'd be just a little lighter.

To keep the ribbon in place, I used the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch to make a little notch on the fold of the card. It's an old trick, but it's sure handy. This Flirty Flamingo colored ribbon is one of two ribbons in the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack. The other color is Lovely Lipstick, which is actually the color I used to stamp the greeting and the froggie.

The little hand-drawn hearts on the All My Love Designer Series Paper look great alongside the cartoon-style frog, and the colors coordinate perfectly. One last tip...the base of the card is Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, and I stamped 3 different hearts from the Meant to Be stamp set on it. However, I stamped them all OFF once before stamping on the card base. It gives the background some visual texture, without being so dark that they compete with the focal point images.

BREAKING NEWS: I've just learned there are coordinating Framelits available for purchase, to cut out images in the Sale-a-Bration FREE So Hoppy Together stamp set!!! I'll be sure to add the info/image here as soon as I get it.

Stampin' Supplies: Meant to Be stamp set, Sale-a-Bration FREE So Hoppy Together stamp set, Flirty Flamingo Cardstock & ink pad, Lovely Lipstick Cardstock & ink pad, Whisper White Cardstock, All My Love Designer Series Paper, All My Love Ribbon Pack, 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch, SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean stamps), Stampin' Trimmer (to cut & score card stock).
