Are you getting excited about Sale-a-Bration, Stampin’ Up!’s annual sales event that launches for customers on January 3? During this event, we earn a free items from the Sale-a-Bration brochure for ever $50 we spend. What fun! This year’s brochure is packed with amazing stamps, papers, accessories and dies (more on that one later) you’ll certainly want to earn – and what better way to earn craft supplies than by buying craft supplies?! Seems like a win-win to me!
Here’s a look at the front cover of Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure:
Excited yet!? Today I’m sharing three projects I made with one of the Sale-a-Bration stamp sets – Amazing You – that I won at our OnStage event earlier this month. Here’s a look at this stamp set:
I stamped the ray burst image in Crushed Curry and then arranged sentiments to make an encouraging celebration card. Here’s card #1:
I love to celebrate the people I love. When they’ve done something wonderful (people I love always do wonderful things), they deserve to hear about it. This set gives great sentiments that can be stacked and arranged for a variety of congratulations.
The background of this simple card is a fun pattern from Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper. The page is a mix of Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight, so I stayed away from either cardstock color. I love the fun bursts in the paper, though. Here’s a look at this versatile and fun pack of papers:
With a little re-arrangement of the words, I also made this card:
How sweet are these sentiments? For each card, I added three Black Rhinestone Jewels – it keeps with the black-and-yellow color scheme of the card design and and plays with the active burst of the image below the sentiments. These rhinestones are exploding into the air with excitement over how amazing you are – way to go! Here’s a look at these fun embellishments:
Black Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin’ Up!
If the first two cards weren’t enough to sell you on this set, how about a third card with the exact same layout and a different configuration of sentiments?
Here’s another fun card with this Amazing You set – that turns the focus a bit to me. 🙂
GOOD NEWS!
Not only can you earn this stamp set during Sale-a-Bration, but you can also earn a set of coordinating Celebrate Amazing You Thinlits that crop out three of the words above – celebrate, amazing and you. This is a must-have set of dies you’ll definitely want to budget for. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by today!

Such creative use of this design three ways. I adore the simplicity and the pop of the black rhinestones!

What a great set! Your cards are fabulous, Brian, just love the way you manage to put things together so beautifully, artistically and fun! Last sentiment is perfect! : )
Thanks so much, Diana! I’m glad you like them and the you confirmed you read them. <3
I love word dies! It’s so nice to just pop them out on the card a bit or make 3 or 4 layers of the word so they have substance and dimension on a card. I can tell this set is going to be a “have to have” set. Love your cards and the yellow and black make for happy, happy cards. I love happy, happy cards and you are the King of designing them for sure. Thanks for sharing Brian.
Thanks so much, Grace! I adore the simplicity of these cards, too, and am thrilled you like them so much. Thanks so much for your support!
On stamp sets with images, I always look at them first, you show me through your beautiful cards, that I need to focus on the words just as much. Love what you’ve created!
Thanks so much, Katrina! Every time we receive a new catalog, I study all of the sentiments and images to make sure I don’t miss anything. Love this set of sentiments – and I’m sure I’ll find 100 ways to use them. <3
Love these cards, simplicity at it’s best xx
Thanks so much, Kim! I love to make cards that can be reproduced by stampers at all levels. Glad you like these.
Wonderful use of a great new stamp set. I can’t wait for my catalog to arrive. I love this set, especially the flower, but it is so versatile, as you have shown. The sneak peak of the catalog cover is so tempting! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, Nancy! I appreciate your kind comments – you’ll have lots of fun with this new catalog! <3
OMG I laughed out loud! This set is on my radar when I order in January. Home run with these three cuties!
Thanks, Linda! I can hear your laughter from here. So glad you got a chuckle from it. 🙂
Brian, I just saw your “me” card on Pinterest and had to come over and let you know how fiercely I love it! This is my favorite SAB offering and I can’t wait to make some birthday invitations with your ah-mazing idea ?
Haha! Thanks so much, Merit! I’m so glad you like the card. So many passed over it without reading it. 🙂 It would be perfect for a self-hosted birthday party. <3
