OSAT Sale A Brate The Occasions Blog Hop

Happy Thursday!!! I am back with the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop! As many of you know, I created this hop about 3 years ago and I here to tell you that this year is going to be better than ever. We have quite a few new Demonstrators with us this year. That is right, this hop will be EXCLUSIVELY Stampin' Up!

To kick off our new year and new look we are hopping with the theme Sale A Brate the Occasions. We are showcasing items in the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. I couldn't wait to play with the Magical Day Bundle... especially after I found my dies that I had misplaced!!!

I must have messed up a dozen unicorns before I used my Watercolor Pencils with my Blender Pen to create this cutie. I used the Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Basic Gray pencils. As of Tuesday I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the Unicorn but knew I wanted to use the Magical Day Bundle as I had located the dies that I hid from myself for about a week. I wasn't sure of what I wanted to do for layout yet when I started with this card yesterday morning. Then I had a moment... so I grabbed the Marbled Backgroun Stamp and simply stamped it on to the Pool Party card stock using Pool Party ink. I then grabbed the cloud stencil to use the Shimmery White Embossing paste to make some amazingly sparkly clouds. The sentiment was initially stamped using Berry Burst ink but I came back with the banner in the dies and layered a Pool Party sentiment over the top embellished with a nice little scallop trim of Turquoise Glimmer Paper from the Magic & Myths Glimmer Paper pack. I added some of the Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon and adhered the Stitched Oval onto the card with the Unicorn!

My cute box made using the Unicorn paper from Magic & Myths DSP and the Lots of Love box dies. I didn't want to show you just a box with Berry Burst ribbon, so I took the Tutti-Frutti Card Bases from the Sale A Bration catalog. I trimmed them down so that they were the same size as the Narrow Note Cards that are in the Occasions catalog and fit so nicely in the box. I took the pieces that I trimmed and used them to embellish each card. The Iridescent Glimmer Paper was cut using the Celebrate You thinlits from the Sale A Bration catalog. These sentiment dies are a MUST have and can dress up any card!

I am so glad you stopped by today to see my creations! Next on the hop is the AMAZING Raquelle Clifton! I can't wait to see what that Lady and Her Stamps has for all of us! You can get to her by clicking the pretty little next button below!

Sale A Bration Kick Off Blog Hop

I am so excited that Sale-A-Bration starts tomorrow!! Welcome to the 2018 Sale-A-Bration Kick Off Blog Hop!! I want to a say a special Thank You to Janet Wakeland for giving Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Globally an opportunity to debut these amazing goodies!
For those of you who are new to my blog, I am Andrea Tracy-Tucker! I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for going on 5 Years! I live on the eastern edge of Colorado in small little town of 2000 people! I'm am happily married and have 3 amazing kiddos, 2 Horses and a dog! The crazy thing about this, I grew up in San Diego! So the weather is a drastic contrast to what I grew up with! That is enough of me! Let me show you these cute Sale-A-Bration creations!

So let me tell you something... I couldn't decide what to use!!! I started with a set of cards made with the Celebrate You thinlits. Then I had a moment where I panicked over not doing something "cool" enough... I got up this morning, did not start over but decided to make a coordinating something!

This fun card starts with a bright base of Pumpkin Pie card stock with a matte of Lemon Lime Twist. I couldn't wait to use the candle paper from Picture Perfect Party DSP. The Bermuda Bay matted stripe is also from this collection. The Celebrate is cut using the Celebrate You Thinlits, I cut it twice out of Basic Black card stock. I then cut it out of the Turquoise Glimmer Paper from the Myths & Magic Glimmer Paper pack! This is a really great pack with a light green and iridescent as well! This card wasn't complete until I added the fussy cut Panda from Party Pandas! 

This was the something I created this morning to coordinate with my card! Cute and oh so easy! I used our Mini Treat Bag Framelits to create this cutie! The Panda came back! Who doesn't love a panda? The Bubble & Fizz DSP works well with Picture Perfect Party DSP in my card. I made a 2 inch band and created a Stitched Circle with an Iridescent Glimmer paper circle for the panda to hang out on! The Lemon Lime Twist sentiment was created using the torn looking die from the Mini Treat Bag Dies. I added a strip of Bermuda Bay Stars and Calypso Coral dots for some fun layers! 

Thank You so much for stopping by today!! I can't wait for Sale A Bration to start tomorrow! You will find a full blog list below! Click right on through for some more amazing ideas!
