Hello! Stampin' Addicts is once again hosting another great blog hop. This time we're highlighting Sale-a-Bration!!
EDIT: Links removed, as the hop is over! Hope you had fun~
You probably arrived here via Rhonda's blog, where she used the set Spring Song. Or if my blog is your first stop on the hop, just keep following the links and you'll see all 21 of the stops before you end up back here. All the blogs on the hop are listed in a post at Stampin' Addicts...just click on the Blog Hop badge at the right of this blog to get there!
This year Stampin' Up! did the coolest thing, instead of just the items in the Sale-a-Bration brochure to pick from for your free item...you can also pick from a bunch of selected stamp sets in the main catalog! I'm highlighting the very useful Thank You Kindly set.
My fist project is a set of Very Vanilla 3x3 cards...this came together very quickly and easily! I like to punch a hole in the upper left corner, string some ribbon thru it to attach to a thank you gift!
Here I used the With All My Heart stamp set and the Sending Love specialty DSP from the Occasions Mini. I also used some Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon. You can get 8 3x3 cards from one sheet of 12x12 cardstock.
My second project is another set of cards, this time I used Stampin' Up!'s notecards. They come already scored and with the matching envelops...these make nice gift sets! The package contains 20 cards/envies!
I used in colors here, as well as several sizzix embosslits. I really like those things!!! I also used my big shot to emboss the card with the new Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder that is available in the Occasions Mini.
My last project to show you is the tin in which you can package the Note Cards gift set! Of course, you can pretty much put in anything you want in the tin (that fits!). Candy, jewelery...etc...
Well, thanks for looking...I hope you are enjoying the blog hop!
Your next stop is Heidi's blog where she'll be inspiring you with the Things I Love set!
Very nicely done - I like them all!! Great use of the stamp set.

That is well known that cash can make people autonomous. But what to do if one doesn't have cash? The only one way is to try to get the personal loans or just commercial loan.
