Stampin' Up! Outlined Occasions &
Stripes Textured Impressions
It's Thursday and that means it's time for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge - use any red. And it's February and it that means its Sale-a-bration. And it's Stampin-Style and that means a Customer Appreciation Program. Put them all together and it's one heck of a CELEBRATION!
One of my customers really cashed in this past week. Her husband gave her $400 in the form of a birthday present. Some hubby, huh?! So she purchased $400 in Stampin' Up! stuff and received
- Eight Sale-a-bration items
- $65 Hostess dollars
- A free Sale-a-bration tote
- A free Hostess Bundle of all the items on pages 6 & 7 of the Sale-a-bration brochure
- $50 in free Stampin' Up! merchandise from me*
Amazing, huh? So I created this card to send to her with her reward check and a copy of her order. Thanks Michelle!

Putting It Together Tips:
- I wanted this card to have some pop so of course as my neutral color for the POP in this color challenge I chose Basic Black. Darn, I should have used pearls too! ;-)
- Do you see the sentiment ”IT'S YOUR DAY" in the lower right? I would have never have been able to position that if I didn't have my Stamp-a-ma-jig! I love this tool. It makes it a breeze to position just about anything. In fact, I used it for Celebrate too! Stay tuned and I'll SHOW you how!
- I love the Crimper to add subtle texture. The Real Red Card Stock matting the sentiment is crimped vertically. It's hard to see in the pic but it's there. SNAIL is perfect to hold it in place.
- I wanted to give a sense of celebration with confetti so I used all the different pieces of the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch to create that festive atmosphere.

Wonderful card, Mike! Thanks for reminding at least me to bring out the crimper and dust it off...and to use my wonderful lines embossing folder!

Love your card and the punches with the confetti. Very nice.

Whow Mike, you totally were thinking outside of the box on this one. Love the confetti and the horizontal lines. This one is going straight to my faves.
BTW, On a punched out heart (using dsp) I printed what your customer got and I will hand them out to my customers to show them what they can get at my next party. A few of my customers get Valentine $$$ from their hubbys.

so charming . . . loved how you used the little bits from the triple blossom punch as "confetti" accents. hugs, mary

Great scattered confetti look in the background! SAB is definitely a good reason to celebrate - perfect card for the occasion!

Very nice card, Mike, I look forward to your cards and miss them when there is a long time in between. You do such beautiful cards. Have a great day. I spoke with my friend in Rancho last night and she said it is beautiful there.
