In just four days, Sale-a-Bration will be over! It’s that time of year when you can earn free product with every $50 or $100 order!
One of the first stamp sets I earned free when Sale-a-Bration first started was A Touch of Ink but I didn’t play with until yesterday! Why the heck did I wait so long? It has a butterfly, flowers, a hummingbird and great sentiments. This is a Level 2 Sale-a-Bration gift and it’s only available for four more days with a $100 order.
I don’t remember if I’ve shared this before, but my husband retired at the end of August. He was a pilot for Delta Airlines for 33 years. He had planned to retire in a few years but Delta offered him a chance to retire early and he took them up on it (you’re probably wondering what in the world this has to do with Sale-a-Bration and the stamp set, Touch of Ink, but I’m getting there). Since Mark has been retired we now have two bird feeders and three, yes three, hummingbird feeders in our backyard. We have the cutest birds, hummingbirds and butterflies visiting our yard daily and we have so much fun watching them zoom all over our backyard. Believe me, it’s a full time job refilling the bird and hummingbird feeders! So, when I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to have it!
To create my card, I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. I then cut a square out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies and stamped the sentiment in Highland Heather ink. I used Memento Ink to stamp the flowers and then colored them in with my Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. I layered this piece onto a larger square cut out of Highland Heather cardstock. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back and it was adhered to the front of the card. I love dimension on my cards and use Stampin’ Dimensional on almost every single card I make.
I stamped the hummingbird onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and colored it using the Highland Heather and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends. I cut it out using our Paper Snips, which are very sharp scissors (these are currently on backorder but a large shipment is due in next week). Usually I’m not overly fond of fussy cutting but it really didn’t take much time at all. I added several Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it near the flowers. I added some Wink of Stella to the hummingbird’s head for some extra sparkle!
This really is a fun set to play with and if you place a $100 order, you can choose it as your free gift, but only until this Sunday, February 28, 2021!
Here’s one of the cute hummingbirds in our backyard. Not exactly the Highland Heather – Bermuda Bay combination of my hummingbird but isn’t he cute?

Today’s card features two new products from the Butterfly Brilliance Collection, both available beginning March 2, 2021: Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies. I can’t share pictures of the actual products until they are released but you can see them in this flyer!
To make my card, I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock & Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This paper will be available beginning on March 2nd and will only be available while supplies last.
I used the Layering Squares Dies to cut a square out of Highland Heather cardstock and another, smaller one, out of Basic White cardstock.
The sentiment was stamped in Highland Heather ink using the stamp set, Art Gallery. The butterfly was cut out using another pattern of Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies. These dies will be in the 2021 Annual Catalog (released on May 4th) but they will be available for purchase early, beginning on March 2nd.
I used half of a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to secure the butterfly to the Basic White Layering Square. To complete the card, I added two pearls down the center of the butterfly. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Sale-a-Bration
There are only a few days left of Sale-a-Bration which officially ends on February 28th! During Sale-a-Bration, you can earn free product with every $50 or $100 purchase!
Level 1: Choose one of these products with a $50 order! With a $100 purchase, you can choose TWO Level 1 products or ONE Level 2 product. There’s no limit to how many free products you can earn!
Level 2: Choose one of the these products when you place a $100 order
Starter Kit During Sale-a-Bration
The Starter Kit is always a great deal but it’s even better during Sale-a-Bration because you’ll get a bonus of 200 sheets of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, that’s five packages of paper! This paper will be available in the 2021 Annual Catalog but anyone who purchases the Starter Kit by February 28th, will get this paper early and FREE!
When you purchase the Starter Kit, you officially become a demonstrator with all the perks of being a demo BUT you have NO obligation to hold workshops or sell Stampin’ Up! products (unless you want to). When I purchased the Starter Kit, I was an extremely happy discount shopper. I was my only customer and I was a really good customer (I bought a lot). Then my friends wanted to know how I was making my cards and one thing led to another.
I know that when people hear the word Demonstrator they think it means selling but it really doesn’t. If you want to purchase just for yourself, that’s perfectly fine. If you’d like to take it to the next level and share the love of Stampin’ Up! products, that works too! It’s whatever you want it to be!
Some of the perks of purchasing the Starter Kit:
- $125 worth of product for $99
