It’s time for another year of inspiration with the New at SU Blog Hop. This month our team are inspiring you with Sale-A-Bration products and sharing ideas for coordinating them with other products from our range. For my card I’ve chosen the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper which is part of the Sale-A-Bration product range. It has a colour palette of Early Espresso, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie. You can get this paper free with a $100 order.
SALE-A-BRATION
The Sale-A-Bration promotion runs through 28th February and there are many products to choose from. There are 2 tiers of products with most products with 12 products free with a $100 order and 2 products free with a $200 order. Take a look at the brochure HERE.
While there are some brighter designs in this pack of paper, I have chosen a softer design for my background to coordinate with the stamped toadstools. The Terrific Toadstools bundle includes a stamp set and punch which punches the toadstools without a border. This is different to some of our other punches. As I wanted the white border around the image, I fussy cut around them – why make life easy?!!!
I stamped the larger toadstools in Soft Sea Foam then added some shading with the Granny Apple Green Watercolour Pencil. The stem was stamped in Crumb Cake and I added some shading with the Early Espresso Watercolour Pencil. For a pop of colour I also added some Melon Mambo mini toadstools.
I’ve followed the sketch at TGIF Challenges #tgifc507 adding a label from the Greetings of the Season Dies to place my cluster of toadstools on.
A piece of the striped DSP from the same pack was cut at an angle and attached under the label. This added a lovely pop of colour and coordinated with my small toadstools.
Some clear sequins from Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins were coloured with the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend and added around my card. This versatile embellishment pack is a Sale-A-Bration product which is available free with a $100 order.

Hello and welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday blog hop for 2025. We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who share inspiration on the 2nd Wedneesday of each month. We always have a fun theme which is carefully selected by our leader, Angie Mckenzie. This month it’s a fun This or That challenge. Hmmm, with new products, there are so many ways to interpret this. The choices are as unlimited as your imagination.
I threw ideas around and finally settled on the Wildflower Designer Series Paper as my base product. I just love this paper which comes in a 12″x12″ pack and includes 2 sheets of die cut images which are perfect for layering and adding to your projects as focal points. I’ve combined several products to create my This or That – Balloons or Beach! This could be Pink or Blue, His or Hers, Elegant or…. Bogan (the poor seagulls) Ha! Ha!
In the Wildflower DSP pack, there are a couple of double-sided sheets that are divided into sections with images and tags. I used a couple of tags and trimmed the top section off so I was left with the rectangle.
SALE-A-BRATION
Until 28th February we have our Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can earn a free product with every $100 order. I’ve used some of these products on my projects.
BALLOON CARD
I wanted to create a soft, party style card and incorporated a few different products. The party hat is from the Day to Celebrate Sale-a-Bration stamp set. This is a really fun set and has a good range of images and sentiments which can be used for cardmaking and scrapbooking.
I added some balloons from the Filled with Fun bundle and a cake from the Attention Shoppers bundle because what’s a party without cake, right? The Starstruck Embossing Folder is another of our Sale-A-Bration offerings and adds to the soft feminine look I wanted on this card.
To complete this card I aded the beautiful Gold Open Weave trim and some sequins from the SAB free product range.
BEACH CARD
I can’t help but smile when I see these seagulls and these are a must-have from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. It’s like you can imagine their personalities and they look so naughty – I love it! I loved the stripes tag that gave a masculine feel to this card. Oh I know, I added Linen Thread and gems and that was the end of that but it could definitely be a guy card.
I incorporated several elements from the Beach Days stamp and die set and some die cut coral from the Beauty of the Deep dies to complete the nautical look.
Both these cards follow the tag sketch on Page 12 of the Mini Catalogue, 2nd row, 5th from the left. These sketches are so useful and can be adapted, as I have done, to suit your project.
Which is your favourite – Beach or Ballons? Let me know in the comments.
I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration shared here today. Next on our hop is the lovely Cheryll Miller. Let’s see what she’s been inspired with this month.
