Pals Blog Hop – Jan. 2014

Welcome to our first blog hop of 2014. This month we are excited to show you the new products available in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog as well as a preview of the free products you can earn through Sale-a-bration at the end of January.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper, stop #2 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have not one, but two projects to share with you today, mainly because I couldn’t make up my mind which one I wanted to show!  There are so many awesome stamps & accessories in both the Occasions catalog & the Sale-A-Bration catalogs.  My project feature items from both catalogs.

My first project is light and airy.

I love the colors in this pattern, and the random dots just adds to the playfulness of this paper, a new DSP which will be FREE in the soon-to-be released Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I was free to choose from so many colors so I  used Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Canteloupe, and Sahara Sand papers & inks.  “Perfect Pennants” from the Occasions catalog provided the You & Me sentiment.  (This comes as part of bundle too, with Banner Framelits dies to save you money!)  It also provided the longer banner image too.

“Just Sayin’” is another stamp set in the Occasions catalog and it’s coordinating Word Bubble Framelits dies (another bundle to save you money!)  is where the ‘woo-hoo’ comes from.

I can’t reveal pics of the products in the Sale-A-Bration catalog until it goes live, but…. see the smaller banner image?  It’s another sneak peek from the Sale-A-Bration catalog  (Spoiler Alert:  This stamp set has a coordinating punch to give you that perfect flagged end every time).  Love a stamp set & punch!

My second project is dark and has such strong contrast.  This design comes from the same package of DSP as above.   This paper reminded me of a blackboard with colored chalk.  So naturally, I wanted to do a chalk technique for the sentiment.  “Just Sayin'” provided the gee, thanks word bubble that already looks like it was written in chalk.  Perfect!  The coordinating Word Bubble Framelits dies perfectly cropped the word bubble.

Both projects feature a new DSP, available Jan. 28th during Sale-A-Bration.  As with all the items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, it’s FREE with a $50 product order (before tax & shipping).  Each of the bundles mentioned above are priced just under $50 depending on wood or clear, but when you add an accessory or two, or a consumable item like adhesive, cardstock, ink or envelopes, you’ve reached the point to earn a FREE sale-a-bration item!

So buy a bundle, get Free stuff!  It doesn’t get much better than that!
