JUST SEVEN MORE DAYS until Sale-A-Bration, the Stampin' Up! giveaway event of the year, ends (March 31).  I highlighted two exclusive Sale-A-Bration stamp sets in today's card, So Happy for You and Punch Bunch.  Fun sets, especially paired with primary colors.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:

  • Stampin up owl punch bunch saleabrationIf a Stampin' Up! stamp set has a coordinating punch, it goes straight to my wish list.  Punch Bunch, a Sale-A-Bration exclusive stamp set, was my #1 choice of the Sale-A-Bration FREE gift choices.
  • Since this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge is about embossing, I opted to mix two textures–Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice.  The look is still clean and simple.
  • My 5 1/4" square card base fits neatly into the Stampin' Up! Medium Square Envelopes (5 1/2" Square, 107289).
  • Tell your buttons to "sit and stay."  Stampin' Up! Mini Glue Dots keep buttons in place.
