Today’s the last day of Sale-a-Bration!!! It’s the last day to receive FREE gifts with a $50 or $100 purchase!! I have one more card to share with you today using one of my favorite free gifts but first I’d like to tell you about my Abigail Rose Card Sampler.

Supplies Needed To Create the Card Sampler
Listed below are the supplies you’ll need to complete the cards exactly as shown (or you can use what you already own). Simply click any of the products and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. When placing your order, don’t forget to use the special Card Sampler Host Code (please do not use host code if your order is over $150 – see above).
Please note: As of this writing, the Cottage Rose stamp set is on the Low Inventory List. If it becomes unavailable, use your favorite stamp set!
Edited to Add: The Cottage Rose stamp set is now unavailable but is expected to be back in stock the week of September 12th.
Onto my last Sale-a-Bration card! I used the Hippest Hippos stamp set and the Hippo Dies to create today’s card. Each of these products can be earned with a $50 purchase but only until the end of today!
Edited to Add: Unfortunately it seems the Hippos Dies have sold out. My link for the dies takes you to the landing page and not the product and that means they are gone. I’m sorry!!!
To create my card, I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. Then I used the Basic Borders Dies to cut a scalloped edge across the bottom of the front. I adhered a piece of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper to the inside so it would peek through.
I stamped the hippo in Memento ink and then colored him with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (Light & Dark) and for the flower I used Balmy Blue Blends (Light) and Granny Apple Green (Dark). I cut the hippo out using the Hippo Dies.
I used the Layering Circles Dies to cut the Balmy Blue and Basic White circles. Then I placed the Basic White circle in the Timber 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the two circles together and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back.
During Sale-a-Bration, the Timber 3D Embossing Folder can either be earned with a $50 order using the product number 163094 or it can be purchased using the product number 156406.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Balmy Blue ink and the stamp set, Hippest Hippos. It was cut out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I added a little bit of adhesive to the front of the sentiment and slipped it behind the hippo. I added more adhesive to the hippo and adhered it to the circles and then placed it on the front of the card.

Today’s card features the stamp set, Go To Greetings, Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Build a Butterfly Dies.
I started with a base of Balmy Blue cardstock. Then I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List) and a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock. I ran the Balmy Blue cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.
Next, I adhered the three pieces onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then adhered that piece to the card base. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock in Balmy Blue ink using the stamp set, Go To Greetings, and then cut it out using the Layering Circles Dies. I cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock (using the same dies) and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
The butterfly was created using Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and the Build a Butterfly Dies. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the sentiment piece. To complete the card, I added three Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems around the butterfly and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

- Hippest Hippo Stamp Set #159921 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration
- Hippo Dies #159928 – FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration
I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock to the front of the card that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I also added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Next, I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front of the card (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List).
I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock and another, larger circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I LOVE that Stampin’ Up! brought back stitched dies!! Love them!! I layered the two circles together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies again to cut the sentiment piece and then stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink using the Hippest Hippos stamp set.
I stamped the cute hippo in Memento Ink onto Basic White cardstock and then colored her using Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and for the flower I used the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend. I cut the hippo out using the Hippo Dies. I adhered one end of the sentiment behind the hippo and then adhered both to the stitched circle. This card came together very quickly and I just love the cute hippo (there are two more hippos in the stamp set and four sentiments).

The January – June Mini Catalog is retiring and I thought it would be fun to choose my top five products. I would have added New Horizons Designer Series Paper but unfortunately it has sold out. All retiring products are available while supplies last.
For more information about the cards below, click on the image and you’ll be taken to the original post.
Please note that some products shown on the cards are no longer available
#1 Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Set
I love this stamp set and it’s one I will keep in my personal stash. I love the sentiments and the font used.
I used Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the card below. It’s also retiring and 50% off. Normally $15.00, now $7.50.
#2 Flowing Flowers Stamp Set
Sometimes I buy stamp sets just for sentiments and I was drawn not only to the sentiments in this set but the images too.
#3 Polished Dots
What I love most about the Polished Dots is that I can I can color the clear ones with my Stampin’ Blends to match my card. Instant coordination! They also look really nice just left as is. I’m really sad these are retiring. They are now 30% off. Normally $7.50, now $5.25.
New Horizons Designer Series Paper was used on this card but it has sold out.
#4 Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
I love flowers and I love Designer Series Paper. When those two come together . . . .
This paper is now 30% off. Normally $11.50, now $8.05
#5 Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder
I was a little late to the party with this product. I think it’s a really pretty embossing folder and I wish I had used it more. There’s a big heart in the center, which can be cut out with the coordinating heart die but it can also be covered up as I did in the second card below.
The Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder which includes 9 dies is now 50% off. Normally $29.00, now $14.50.
I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper on this card and the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt (both on my top 5 list).

On to my card!
I started with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card. I cut two pieces of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then I cut two smaller pieces of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using one of the Elegant Eucalyptus 3D Embossing Folders (there are two folders included in this set).
I adhered all four pieces to a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and then adhered the Merry Merlot to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in Merry Merlot ink using the stamp set, Happy & Heartfelt. This stamp set is retiring and will only be available while supplies last. I was hoping it would carry over to the new catalog but sadly, it isn’t.
I cut the sentiment out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I also cut a larger circle out of Merry Merlot cardstock using the same dies and adhered the sentiment to it. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the center of the card. To complete my card, I added three Solid Faceted Gems to the front (I was surprised at how sparkly they are – I love sparkle),

Kits Collection Sale Beginning on June 1, 2022
I didn’t want to end my post without acknowledging the horrible tragedy in Texas. It’s just heartbreaking and I think we’ve all been affected by it. I was an elementary school teacher for 22 years and I can’t imagine what the teachers and children are going through right now who survived. My heart goes out to the Uvalde community and especially those who lost loved ones.
