Welcome to the January 2022 Inspire Create Share Blog Hop featuring Sale-A-Bration products. All of the projects created for this month's blog hop are intended to inspire you and help you get your stamping and crafting on.

For this blog hop post, I decided to create a Slimline Fun Fold Card featuring 2 Sale-A-Bration products, the Driving By Stamp Set and Sunshine & Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. Each of these products can be yours with a $50 Stampin' Up! order or get them both with a $100 order. I also introduced the Cloud Punch and Classic Matte Dots from our new Mini Catalog. There are so many fun new products to create with.

I had fun using the Paper Piecing Technique for the vehicles in the Drive By Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set. I stamped each of the vehicles in Black Momento Ink on Basic White card stock. I then colored the wheels, "chrome", and windows with Stampin' Blends. Next I stamped the vehicles again in Black Momento Ink but this time on various sheets of the Sunshine & Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, also from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. I then used Paper Snips to cut out the body of each vehicle and adhered them to the vehicles stamped on the white card stock. Lastly, I cut out each completed vehicle and adhered them to the card.

Dimensions for Slimline Fun Fold Card:

• Card base = 7" x 8 1/2", score at 3 1/2" on long side. Cut at 1 1/2" from left & rights side of card front to score line. Fold both flaps down and adhere closed.
• Pool Party with hearts DSP = Cut 2 at 1 1/2" x 3 1/4".
• Sunshine DSP = 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
• Granny Apple Green diagonal stripe DSP = 1/2" x 5 1/4"

Happy stamping always, friends!

It was a cold, wintery day in central Ohio on Friday, January 7th, but I was able to bring some sunshine to the day when I chose to use the Daffodil Afternoon Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper to feature in my projects. I love that everyone has the opportunity to earn this beautiful Designer Series Paper Free. Yep, it's true. Place a $50 order and choose Daffodil Afternoon DSP or one of several other products from our Sale-A-Bration Brochure. AND, did you know that the Daffodil Afternoon DSP coordinates with our new Daffodil Daydream Bundle in the new Mini Catalog? I love Stampin' Up!'s coordination of products, colors, and themes. It makes creating extra fun and easy!

In this video replay of Friday's Facebook Live, I demonstrate how to make a Gift Card Holder using a 3" x 12" strip of Daffodil Daydream DSP. It's a easy layout to replicate on your own and is great for birthdays, graduations, weddings, and so much more. I'll also show you cutting dimensions and card ideas for another sheet of the pretty Daffodil Daydreams DSP to help you make a nice assortment of Daffodil Afternoon cards including some slimline cards.

Cutting Dimensions for Gift Card Holders above:

• Basic Black card stock base = 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Daffodil Delight card stock layer = 5 1/4" x 4"
• Basic Black card stock layer = 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
• Daffodil Afternoon DSP (Sale-A-Bration) = 3" x 12", score at 4" from each end
• Basic White card stock = 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
  
• Pear Pizzazz card stock for banner = 1" x 4"

Cutting Dimensions for Gift Card Holder above:

• Basic Black card stock base = 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
• Daffodil Delight card stock layer = 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
• Pear Pizzazz card stock layer = 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
• Basic Black card stock layer = 3 3/8" x 4 3/8"
• Daffodil Afternoon DSP (Sale-A-Bration) = 3" x 12", score at 4" from each end
• Basic White card stock inside = 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
• Pear Pizzazz card stock for banner = 1" x 4"

Cut 12" x 12" DSP in half so you have two 6" x 12" pieces. Cut one of the pieces into four 3" x 6" strips. Cut one 3" x 6" strips into three 3" x 2" pieces. Use all pieces to make cards shown in the next two photos. The hearts DSP on the cards in the 2 photos below is from another sheet of the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper pack. I cut 3 pieces 3" x 2" for the bottom of 3 of the slimline cards and one piece 2" x 8 1/2" for the fourth slimline card shown. 

Cutting Dimensions for Slimline Cards above:

• Pear Pizzazz/Mossy Meadow ccard base = 7" x 8 1/2", score at 3 1/2" on short side & fold in half.
• Mossy Meadow/Pear Pizzazz card stock layer = 3 1/4" x 8 1/4"
• Very Vanilla card stock inside = 3 1/4" x 8 1/4"
  

Cutting Dimensions for Slimline Card above on LEFT:

• Bumblebee card base = 7" x 8 1/2", score at 3 1/2" on short side & fold in half.
• Mossy Meadow card stock layer on front = 3 1/8" x 8 1/8"
• Very Vanilla card stock layer inside = 3 1/4" x 8 1/4"

Cutting Dimensions for Slimline Card above on RIGHT:

• Mossy Meadow card base = 7" x 8 1/2", score at 3 1/2" on short side & fold in half.
• Hearts DSP = 2" x 8 1/2"
• Pear Pizzazz card stock layer = 3 1/4" x 6 1/2"
• Very Vanilla card stock layer inside = 3 1/4" x 8 1/4"

Cut your second piece of 6" x 12" Daffodil Afternoon DSP into three 4" x 6" pieces. Cut off 3/4" from top of each pieces. All of these pieces are used on the cards in the photo below.

Cutting Dimensions for A2 Cards above:

• Card bases in Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, & Mossy Meadow = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side, fold in half.
• Very Vanilla card stock inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
• LEFT card: Cut 1/4" from 4" x 3/4" strip. Adhere 1/4" strip to bottom of card front. Adhere 1/2" strip to bottom of Very Vanilla card stock on inside of card.
• MIDDLE card: Cut 1/4" from 4" x 3/4" strip. Flip over 1/4" strip so plain side is up and adhere to bottom of card front. Adhere 1/2" strip near bottom of card front slightly overlapping the 1/4" strip.
• RIGHT card: Banner cut both ends of the 3/4" strip using Banners Pick A Punch.

Oh, Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's filled with bright colors and fun patterns and images. It's a size we haven't seen in Designer Series Paper in many years. That's why I wanted to share some quick and easy card layouts using the Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" DSP in my December 31st Facebook Live. Think of the layouts you see in this Video Replay as "Mini One Sheet Wonders". They'll help you create fun cards in no time with just a few supplies.

Cutting Dimensions for You're Amazing Card above:

• Card base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side.
• Abstract Beauty DSP is 4" x 6" = cut to 4" x 5 1/4", flip over 3/4" strip.
• Basic White card stock = 1" x 3"

Cutting Dimensions for Night of Navy Cards above:

• Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 /12", score at 4 1/4" on long side
• Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" DSP = Cut to 4" x 5 1/2". Then cut into two pieces each measuring 2" x 5 1/2". Cut the 4" x 1/2" in half to use on Sympathy card above.
  

Cutting Dimensions for black/white/gold cards above:

• Card base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side
• Basic White card stock = 5 1/4" x 4"
• Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" DSP = Cut to 4" X 5 1/4". Turn horizontally and cut three 1 3/4" x 4" strip. Turn each strip horizontally and cut into 1 3/4" x square. You should now have six 1 3/4" squares with leftover pieces.
• Use the three 1/2" x 1 3/4" strips for the banners on each of the cards.
• Use 3/4" x 4" strip on inside of one of the cards.

Happy New Year, Stampin' Peace Friends! 

With the holidays behind us, it's time to start thinking about writing our Thank You Notes. I'm sharing what I'm using as my birthday and Christmas thank you notes. They feature the brand new Flowing Flowers Stamp Set and Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes. I love using our Notecards & Envelopes of quick and easy thank you cards or when I need to make several of other kinds of cards. They're very affordable at just $7 for 20 pre-cut and scored note cards and envelopes in either Basic White or Very Vanilla. The folded size is 3 1/2" x 5", and yes, they are mailable.

This Video Replay of my December 27th Facebook Live includes a demonstration of the Simple Stamping I used to make all these cards. Remember, Simple Stamping means we use stamps, ink, and paper only. It's fun and easy but still allows you to make pretty cards. So watch now then do some Simple Stamping cards of your own.

I chose to use Merry Merlot ink on these cards, but so many of our colors look amazing on the Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes. FYI...you'll want to use some Grid Paper or other scrap paper as you will be stamping off the edge of the note cards.

The following cards are very similar to the ones above except I added a layer of Merry Merlot card stock.

The flowers and sentiments in the two cards below are embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.
