January ICS Blog Hop Charming Cafe
January 03, 2018
Happy 2018! I hope your holidays were great. It is now time to celebrate the start of both the new Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration. I cannot think of a better way to start off than with the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop! I am featuring one of my favorite bundles, Charming Cafe.
Honestly, the Charming Cafe bundle was not even on my radar until I really looked at the samples in the Occasions catalog and was intrigued by the dies and started thinking about all the possibilities. Once I started working with the bundle I was indeed charmed by it.
I paired the Charming Cafe bundle with the Sale-A-Bration choice Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes on page 14 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I think sometimes it is easy to overlook the non stamp Sale-A-Bration offerings. The pack contains 16 pre-printed card bases (4 each of 4 designs) and coordinating envelopes. I am featuring 3 of the designs on today's blog post.
In case you are not familiar with Sale-A-Bration let me tell you about it. During Sale-A-Bration for every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax) you get to choose a free product from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. New this year there are even bigger rewards when you spend $100 (before tax and shipping). The Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes are one of the choices at the $50 level.
Did you notice that all the cards also feature a cute little bow? These bows are from the 2017-19 In Color Bitty Bows.
Are you wondering why I did this? Well, if you order the Charming Cafe bundle and the In Color Bitty Bows you would qualify for a $50 Sale-A-Bration reward and could get the Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes. Pretty cool, huh?
I really like using the pre-printed Tutti-Frutti card bases. It eliminates some of the decisions and cutting and gets me to the fun part of designing and coloring a lot quicker. Hope you enjoyed this look at the Charming Cafe bundle and the Tutti-Frutti Card Bases.
Now it is time for you to hop on over to see what the talented Jenilee Pauls has created for you!
Beautiful card, Sharon!
