Sneak Peek Sale-a-bration Watercolor Melon

Here’s a sneak peek of Sale-a-bration Watercolor Melon stamp set which you can earn free with a qualifying purchase of £45 excluding shipping/handling. Sale-a-bration is Stampin’ Up!’s biggest annual event which launches on 4 January to 29 February 2024.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. If you’re a customer and have purchased from me in the last six months, a catalogue will be winging its way to you. If you’re on my mailing list, one should be arriving soon in the new year too.

Retiring Modern Garden stamp set and Modern Oval punch

The modern oval punch is part of the Modern Garden bundle which is in the September-December 2023 mini. The Modern Garden stamp set is retiring soon. However the Modern Oval punch has carried over to the forthcoming January-April 2024 mini. As I can’t show you inside the catalogue yet, FYI there is a new stamp set which also fits this punch called “Filled with Happiness” on page 35.

Inside card

The Watercolor Melon stamp set is made out of photopolymer and some of the images require two-step stamping. With the stamps being clear, it is easy to line up. The watermelon image also fits the Modern Oval punch and that bite taken out of the slice of watermelon is just scrumptious! It makes your mouth water! I love watermelon especially during the summer – so cool and refreshing.

Another sneak peek

To qualify for the free Watercolor Melon stamp set, I purchased this Ice Cream Swirl bundle. I needed a sentiment that would be appropriate for using with the Watercolor Melon stamp set. The Ice Cream Swirl dies are fab – that long cone die scores in the middle, so you can easily make a mini folded card. It would be great for a shaker card too!
