For the FIRST TIME EVER, Stampin' Up! is having 2 Sale-A-Brations this year! This is hands down their best sale of the year and normally, it takes place in January/February/March. But this year, they are adding a second fall Sale-A-Bration. It still has the same great deals - FREE stamps, papers, and dies with every $50 or $100 purchase. Plus, an amazing join special where you get an additional FREE bundle in your starter kit and a host special. Sale-A-Bration starts August 3, but I thought you might like a little sneak peek at one of the FREE stamp sets that you can earn. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Since I'm on vacation, we had a special Stamp with Me event last night instead of the regular Mystery Stamping Tuesday. I think it was a fun way to make a card using supplies from your stash, while making a fun fold card that's a little trickier than what we would normally do for Mystery Stamping because we made this shutter card. If you didn't see it already, be sure to watch the video tutorial to see how to put together this shutter card. Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I'm hopping with the Stampin' Friends again today. This month, it is all about redo and rewind as we visit techniques and inspiration from the past! I created a card using an old rubber stamping technique - Poppin' Pastels. Then, I redid a project that I shared last summer - covered notebooks. Be sure to check out that past post for all the details and video on how to cover composition notebooks using patterned paper and Mod Podge.

Be sure to scroll all the way down to see the complete list of designers for this hop. You won't want to miss any of their amazing projects!

Want the supply list? You'll find the link all the way at the bottom of this post.

​So, on y go! Let's rewind.

This cute thank you card using the Whale of a Time stamp set was made by Julie Brubaker. I love colors and the embossed background! 

I love this handmade card that was sent to me by Kimberly Barbish! The alcohol ink technique in the background is very cool looking. I'm going to be sharing how to do this card making technique sometime soon. 

My Mom, Judie Silvis, sent me this floral card using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow dies. I love the use of the stamped floral image with the die-cut silhouette of the flowers. Very pretty!

This beautiful dragonfly thank you card is from Vicki Parker. I love the way she stamped the dandelions in the background and then popped the dragonfly up on Stampin' Dimensionals. What a fantastic card!

Last, but definitely not least, is this awesome card from my stamping friend Molly. She used the retired Hot Dog stamp set from the January-June Mini Catalog. I love the way that the balloons are holding the dog up and the confetti coloring on the dog. So creative!

I have another great card sketch for you today because card sketches make it easy to make quick and easy cards! We used this for last night's special Sunday Night Live Mystery Stamping. It's a great sketch for showing off some beautiful patterned paper. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
