Today, I’d like to share with you information regarding Stampin’ Up’s second Sale-a-bration.
Beginning July 1st, Demonstrators can pre-earn Sale-a-bration items. The earning for Customers will be August 3rd-September 30th.
For those who aren’t familiar with what Sale-a-bration is:
This is the first time in Stampin’ Up’s 30 year history that they’ll conduct two Sale-a-bration Sales in a single year period.
Stampin’ Up releases a specific line of products for Sale-a-bration. These products can only be earned in two different tiers.
The first tier is earned at the $50.00 level. When you place a $50.00 order in my online store, you will be asked to select an item available from the $50.00 level of products available. It’s yours absolutely 100% *FREE* for your purchase.
We also have a second tier of products available at the $100.00 level. When you spend $100.00 in my online store, you will be asked to select an item at our second tier level and again it’s yours absolutely 100% *FREE*
You can also use your $100.00 Tier 2 earnings on two $50.00 Tier 1 items.
The great part of Sale-a-bration is that there’s NO LIMIT on how many of these great items you can earn.
In addition to earning great products it’s also a great time to join the Stampin’ Up family. Stampin’ Up usually runs an amazing Starter Kit Promotion during Sale-a-bration so if you missed out on the Join+ Promotion last month but would still like to join, Sale-a-bration may be perfect for you.
I really look forward to sharing all of the details and great products that Stampin’ Up will be releasing with you over the next nine weeks.

DSP – 1 3/4″×3 3/4″
1/4″×3″ Basic White Cardstock
1″ Straight Edge Circle Die
1 1/2″ Scalloped Circle Die
*Instructions*
Burnish all of your score lines with your Bone Folder well.
Using your Paper Snips remove two of the small squares on the 4″ side. Cut up to score lines on remaining pieces. Wedge out small squares just slightly.
Rotate Cardstock and repeat cutting up to score lines and wedging out small squares.
Flip your Cardstock over and add Tear and Tape to the Portait side of the Cardstock where you removed the two small squares. Adhere to the other end of the Cardstock.
Fold in the small flaps to the inside of the box and one of the rectangular pieces, add Tear and Tape to the remaining rectangular piece and adhere together.
*Note*
Do not seal up the top of your box.
*Instructions*
Add the DSP to the front of your box. Stamp onesie image and die cut with your Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Die Cut your circles.
Adhere the small circle to the center of the scalloped circle using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive.
*Keep It Simple*
Adhere the onesie to the center of the scalloped circle.
*Step It Up*
Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the onesie. Stamp the “thank you” sentiment to the 1/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. Use the Pick Your Banner Punch to create banner and trim off excess. Add a Mini Glue Dot to one end and a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional to the other end and secure in place.
Using your Take Your Pick Tool add a jewel to the sentiment.
*Final Step*
Lay a fair amount of ribbon under and over the box and trim. I make sure that there’s a fair amount on each side of the box. Tie a knot on top of the box to keep the top closed. If the ribbon slides just slightly during the tieing process – it is okay – just slide the ribbon back to center.
*Note*
I ran out of my Smoky Slate DSP so for the little boy Treat Box I used the same measurement listed above for the DSP and created my own DSP using the Stampin’ Blend Markers listed above, a ruler and a piece of grid paper. You can absolutely use the Stampin’ Write Markers to do this as well. Whichever you choose to use to create this project, make sure that you clean your ruler with your Stamp Shammy between colors.
This project isn’t just for baby showers or gender Reveal parties. Stampin’ Up has a variety of products that can convert this project into any any occasion project. I’ve done them for baby showers, birthdays, holidays, weddings and it is by far my most favorite box template for all occasions.

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today I’d like to share with you this absolutely precious card created with Stampin Up’s new *All About Baby Bundle* along with some other precious and even what I personally consider a hidden gem inside the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
I’m not going to lie – I’ve got baby fever BAD!!! As more and more of my friends are having grandbabies and my kid’s friends are beginning to have babies, it’s a little difficult not to wonder, “Is it ever going to be my time for this incredible joy?” It all happens in God’s time but in the meantime, we’re overjoyed to help others welcome their little Bundles of joy into the world.
I’m especially hoping that some baby boys will begin making their appearance soon. Over the last couple of years – it’s been ALL girls!!!
We do have one friend that’s expecting a baby boy this August.
With all that being said, I like to have both baby boy and baby girl cards on hand. I went completely and totally baby gaga when I saw the All About Baby Bundle in the new Annual Catalog.

On the Basic White Cardstock I stamped the Stitched images in Pear Pizzazz, Pale Papaya and Soft Suede Inks using the Stitchery Stamp Set. I stamped the “Hello Baby” sentiment in Pale Papaya Ink using the All About Baby Stamp Set.
On scrap pieces of Basic White Cardstock I stamped the teddy bear image in Pear Pizzazz, Pale Papaya and Soft Suede Inks using the All About Baby Stamp Set and die cut them with the coordinating Dies.
I embossed the Cinnamon Cider Cardstock using the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine.
*Keep It Simple*
You can simply adhere all of your layers flat using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
*Step It Up*
If you’re looking to step up your cardmaking skills, you can adhere your Stitchery layer flat to your embossed layer and then add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the embossed Cinnamon Cider layer and add to your Cardbase. You can also add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of your teddy bears to further add dimension and skills.
*Baby Girl Card*

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today I’d like to share with you a card/creation that I designed and created using Stampin’ Up’s brand new What’s Cookin’ Bundle.
Before I jump into how this card creation was made, I’d like to share the backstory of the inspiration behind it.
One of my other passions is cooking. I love to cook, I love to cook for my family and for get togethers and gatherings. I love to entertain.
I was introduced to Ashley Stauffer – Pampered Chef Consultant through a mutual friend who was hosting a party for Ashley online. It was A LOT of fun and Ashley is a REALLY good Consultant who kept us entertained through the course of the party. I won a couple of prizes through the party which I received just a couple of days after the party ended. Along with a super sweet handwritten card.
As I held the little prizes and the card in my hand, the wheels in my head began turning. It sat on my counter and I found myself looking at it, picking it up and saying, “Hmmm.”
And then we as Demonstrators were able to view the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog and I saw the What’s Cookin’ Bundle and my mind went, “DING!” I had to see if what I had in my mind was going to work out. Even before we could do pre-order, I contacted Ashley to let her know that Stampin’ Up was about drop something BIG and that I had her on my mind.
Within SECONDS I had the first part of the project complete even without having the Bundle in my hands as it wasn’t available during pre-order. It was top of my list before anything else when I was able to place my first Annual Catalog order.

*Measurements*
Standard A2 Cardbase (Pool Party) – 4 1/4″x5 1/2″
DSP (In Good Taste) 2″x4″
Inside Cardbase (Basic White) – 4″x5 1/4″
Pocket (Pool Party) 4 1/4″x 3 1/4″ scored at 1/4″ on three sides (tiny squares removed with snips)
*Assembly Instructions*
To save time, I created my Cardbase, pocket and did all of my die cutting ahead of time. Once all of my pieces are die cut and created then I adhered the pocket to the inside of the cardbase using Tear and Tape. I stamped the sentiments on the Contoured labels in Momento Black Ink. I adhered the DSP down with Stampin Seal Adhesive and stamped both the chef’s hats and the fruits and vegetables to the card front in Momento Black Ink.
*NOTE*
I stamped the spoon image in Crumb Cake Ink before I die cut the image.
*Instructions Continued*
I adhered the “What’s Cookin'” sentiment to the DSP using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive and added Stampin Dimensionals to the back of the cutting board and adhered it to the front of the DSP and sentiment. I offset the utensils and glued them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and secured them to the front of the cutting board using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I tied a bow using the Linen Thread and secured it to the utensils using a Mini Glue Dot.
Next I opened the card and adhered the Inside Cardbase to the left side of the card. I adhered the “spoonful of love” sentiment to the pocket using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive. I added a Stampin’ Dimensional to the top of the spoon and a Stampin’ Mini Dimensional to the bottom of the spoon, slanted it diagonally across the sentiment to secure.
*NOTE*
About the inside Cardbase; when I received Ashley’s care package there was an adorable handwritten note card in it. I left this side blank but a “thank you” sentiment from one of our other Stamp Sets can be used and still leaves ample space for Ashley to write her kind words.
I then closed the card/creation and using a hole punch, punched a hole in the opening end of the card, a slid a fair amount of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon through the opening. I slid a Pampered Chef Enrichable and a stone scrapper into the pocket, ran the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon through the opening and secured it by creating a bow and trimming off the extra.
Ashley absolutely fell in love with this idea and does plan to begin implementing it into her Pampered Chef business. I hope that this will help her take her Pampered Chef business to a whole new level and that her Customers will love it just as much as she does.
Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this very special project and will join me again soon for another edition. Until next time, Happy Stampin’ Everyone!!

Good morning and welcome to another edition of Cards and Creations by Lori McBride. My name is Lori McBride and I’m a Stampin Up Independent Demonstrator from Joshua,TX.
Today, I’d like to share with you a card I created using Stampin’ Up’s Hey Birthday Chick Bundle carrying over from the January-June Mini Catalog to the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
This cute card also features the Party Pattern DSP (can only be earned by Hosting a Party) and the beautiful new Pale Papaya In Color.

*Other Helpful Supplies*

*Measurements*
Standard A2 Cardbase
Largest Stitched Rectangle Die
Largest Stitched So Sweetly Die
*Instructions*
I started by stamping the chicken in Momento Black Ink and hand coloring her in with the Stampin’ Blend Markers. I added Wink of Stella to the ballon.
I die cut the chicken, the fence, “happy birthday” sentiment, the Stitched Rectangle and the Stitched So Sweetly with my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
*Keep It Simple*
If you are a newer crafter you could just simply just adhere everything flat using Stampin’ Seal Adhesive and Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This cute card is just as adorable laying flat with no dimension and no Artistry Blooms Sequins.
*Step It Up*
If you’re looking to advance your cardmaking skills then what you would do is glue your white picket fence flat to your Pale Papaya and add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of your chicken and adhere it down. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the “Happy Birthday” sentiment.
*NOTE*
To adhere the “Happy Birthday” sentiment with Multipurpose Liquid Glue I added just a very tiny amount to the larger pieces of the sentiment and spread it using only the tip of the the Multipurpose Liquid Glue on both ends. “H” and “B” and the “Y’s” at the other end.
*Instructions Continued*
I used my Take Your Pick Tool to add the Artistry Blooms Sequins.
I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Pale Papaya and the Party Patterns DSP. I removed the backings from the Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered the Party Patterns DSP to the Poppy Parade Cardbase and then layered the Pale Papaya to the center of the Party Pattern DSP.
For the inside base of this adorable card, I stamped the “Let’s Celebrate You” sentiment from the Birthday Chick Bundle and then stamped the confetti image in Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Pool Party Inks cleaning my Stamp with my Stamp Shammy in between colors.
I love the chickens SO much and was so tickled to see that they’re carrying over to our Annual Catalog. To place an order or book a party with me in June and earn that Party Pattern DSP please visit my website at:
