Welcome to another Monday Montage blog hop! We are a group of ten stampers who love to share what we create with you, and all you have to do to follow along is to click on the links at the bottom of each post.
We are now into the first week of the Occasions catalog and Sale-a-Bration. Woohoo!! I love this time of year!
Three of the Sale-a-Bration offerings are only available for a short time (until February 15) this year, so be sure you don’t overlook these when ordering. I used one of these sets, Hello, for my project today. My daughter has a birthday next month, and I thought I would get a little ahead of the game and make her a card and gift bag.
I paired this stamp set with some fun dsp from the It’s My Party dsp stack, which is available in the Occasions catalog. These projects use a color scheme of Mint Macaron, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo.
I started with a Mint Macaron card base, and then embossed the sentiment with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder on a piece of Watercolor Paper. I then brushed on some Mint Macaron ink to create a washed background.
A strip of It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape and dsp was layered over the Watercolor Paper. I then added some of the fun It’s My Party Enamel Dots.
A Petite Cafe Gift Bag was decorated with some of the It’s My Party dsp, stamps from the Hello set, and It’s My Party Designer Washi Tape across the top. I finished it off with some Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine and a Clothespin with an In Color Blossom Accent attached.
I hope these projects have you excited about Sale-a-Bration and the Occasions catalog. There are so many great offerings from which to choose!

There are some great Sale-a-Bration sets available this year, but there are three items that will only be available until February 15. And they are some good ones, so make sure you don’t miss out on those. One of these limited time products is the Hello stamp set. I LOVE this set! I love the fun, brushstroke font of the focal stamp and I love the companion sentiments and images that accompany it. It is such a great set! And you can get it free with any $50 purchase — this makes it even better!
I love this sketch! It’s trendy and clean. I’m continuing to use some of my retiring stamp sets, and I’ve used one of my favorites for this sketch, #Hello. I have really gotten good use of this set, and I will miss it.
When I saw that big circle for the focal image, I immediately thought of using my #Hello set. I love this set! And to think this set wasn’t even on my first order when the annual catalog came out. It has turned out to be one of my favorites! It makes for fast and easy cards, and the images are so fun.
