5 Minute Card Making Challenge | Thanks a Bunch #1
The FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set “Thanks a Bunch” works well for Spring, Easter or the garden enthusiast on your list. These simple two-step photopolymer images provide for perfect placement.
Alternate directions of a simple image across a layer of designer paper on your card base and you’ll have a fun, textured layout.
5 Minute Card Making Challenge | Fragrant Flowers
There’s nothing like a good floral stamp set in your rubber stamp artillery (or a few!). The Fragrant Flowers Bundle coordinates perfectly with the Sale-A-Bration designer paper Favored Flowers. Don’t wait to place your order. Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow!
Keep it simple by die cutting the flowers from the designer paper using the Fragrant Flowers Dies. Stamp a greeting, tie it up and call it done! This card was easily accomplished in 5 minutes!
5 Minute Card Making Challenge | Adorable Owls
Arguably the most popular stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration FREE selections, Adorable Owls includes 3 owl images and 3 greetings which can be mixed and matched for occasions all year long.
Gina used the Night of Navy ink and a Blending Brush to create a subtle background on this scallop circle. Add a small scrap of ribbon and a few matte dots and you’ll have an adorable square card in minutes.
5 Minute Card Making Challenge | Thanks a Bunch #2
Like mother, like daughter! Gina and I live 2 hours apart and prior to the Live stream we don’t see one another’s cards. Imagine my surprise when we both used this adorable Thanks a Bunch stamp set!
The layout on this card makes it easy to duplicate. Use gorgeous designer paper in each of the sections and top with a greeting or substitute one of the sections for a stamped image. This layout provides endless possibilities!

Frog lovers are swooning over this adorable host only exclusive stamp set “At the Pond”. Use your Stampin’ Rewards, available on a $150+ order, to redeem this stamp set or any of the other exclusive host products.
Dandy Designs Designer Paper is also a FREE selection during Sale-A-Bration. These fun and simplistic patterns are timeless!
Bonus Project
When I saw Gina’s “bonus project” I gasped! Isn’t this stunning?! She used the Fine Shimmer Paper to die cut heart border oval which allows the striking Favored Flowers designer paper to show through.
Beautifully Happy is another FREE Sale-A-Bration selection through February 28, 2023 with a $100 product order. Choose this or any of the other products for every $50 increment.
