Stamp Review Crew: July-August Sale-A-Bration

Well, hello! It’s the first day of the month, the first Monday of the month — does it get any easier for a Stamp Review Crew blog hop? We have a good lineup today, looking at the Stampin’ Up! July-August 2022 Sale-A-Bration offerings. Do you have a favorite product from this brochure? You’ll probably find that it’s also a favorite of one of the bloggers on the hop today! (Just a reminder: click the banner above to see the entire list of blogs today.)

Just before me in the lineup is Running with Scissors Stamper, the blog of Heidi Baks. Although I haven’t seen her blog yet today, I can say with absolute confidence that her post is fabulous!

As for me, I faced a dilemma: I have several favorite SAB items, but I certainly can’t expect you to stay here forever! So I narrowed it down to my favorite Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper, Rings of Love, and the versatile and fun stamp set, Amazing Phrasing. For each project, I took advantage of the flexibility of photopolymer to shape the words to the card stock edges, cut with Basic Borders dies (I’ll have complete details on these hop projects later this week).

My first card is for the birthday of one of my downline. I love the happy colors in this print! I fussy cut two tiny butterflies for the tag tucked under the ribbon. Inside I stamped “To another year around the sun” on two lines.

My other card is for my stepson’s birthday later this month. This was a bit more challenging in to get the curve of the two stamps just right. His card says “Woo Hoo!” inside, reversing the sentiments of my first card.

You probably know there’s more Sale-A-Bration ahead for the rest of August. But hold on a second! From August 2-31, you can choose from 10 additional, great products as your free-with-qualifying-purchase selection(s). These are not products unique to SAB, and you will need to make sure to use the special SAB item numbers in order to get them for free. I will have a link tomorrow to the flyer, as soon as I am sure of my facts!

Thanks for spending time here, and enjoy your next stop on the blog hop, Nikki Spencer’s My Sandbox. Have fun!
