ART WITH HEART TEAM BLOG HOP: STAMPIN' UP! SALE-A-BRATION AND SEASONAL CATALOGUE


Today I’m excited to bring you a blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! Team.

Today is the first day of the brand new Occasions Stampin’ Up! Seasonal Catalogue in Australia and also the very first day of our biggest promotion of the year, Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free, exclusive,  item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue) and the promotion goes right through until March 31st.

Better still, become part of our awesome fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team. We have a really large team Australia-wide that has been around since Stampin’ Up! came to Australia. We have a very active team forum and also have in-person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to choose whatever you like from our catalogues, but pay just $169 for $255 worth of product (that’s a 33% discount!). It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me how!

Now let’s get into showing you what you can make with the great new products in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues. You have come to my blog from the blog of Claire Daly, who heads up the Art With Heart team.

I have two cards to share with you today.  The first one stars some of the Sale-a-bration "freebies" that you can earn between now and March 31st.  I've indicated, in my card ingredients list, which are the free items, by putting (SAB) after their names.

  15. Love both of your cards - but really love the second one - purple and gold look lovely together. This is the first time I've seen the cork used and liked it too - but then you always manage to persuade me I NEED something else from the catalogue lol
