I can't believe it's the last Sunday in December, and the last Sunday of 2020! And we are in the abyss between Christmas Day, Boxing Day & the NEW Year. I hope you have had a Merry time?

Let's make it a good one for the Stamping Sunday Design Team Blog Hop!

You are visiting me in Australia, from the talented Katja in Germany.

Thankyou so much for being here, and as the Theme goes, we are Sneak peeking *2021 Sale-A-Bration products. Get ready for some cuteness....

*(You know those little FREE items you get when you spend a certain amount from the 5th January - 28th February, 2021?)

Sale-A-Bration is the most wonderful time in the 'Stampin' Up! year.

When you spend AU$90 or AU$180, you choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product with your purchase, before shipping and handling.

So, I might have made a Valentine's Day or Anniversary card with the cutest 2021 Sale-A-Bration 'Darling Donkeys' stamp set.

Stamped with 'Memento Ink'.

Coloured with 'Stampin' Blends Markers'.

Background: 'Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.

'All the Trimmings Embellishments' coloured with 'Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker'.

'Hee Haw!'

And maybe a Gift Tag...

This would look so cute on a brown paper package, or with a bunch of Roses?

I love how these loved up Donkeys have turned out.

Not to forget a little Simple Stamping for some sweet notecards.

Whisper White cardstock (Card Front): 9.5cm x 9.5cm or 3-3/4" x 3-3/4"

Coloured Cardstock (Card Base): 10cm x 20cm scored & folded at 10cm or 4" x 8" scored & folded at 4".

1. Align the sentiment stamps onto an 'Acrylic Block using 'Grid Paper'.

When looking through to the 'Grid Paper', place a sentiment on the lines below.

2. Stamp the sentiments onto the 'Grid Paper' first to check your alignment.

3. Align the donkey image onto another 'Acrylic Block' using the same method as the sentiments.

4. Stamp the Donkey image, then stamp the sentiments onto the card front.

5. Colour the Donkey image using 'Stampin' Blends Markers'.

6. I coloured the stars with 'Stampin' Write Markers', and randomly stamped around.

7. Adhere the Card Front to the coloured Card Base.

Thankyou for visiting me, and make sure you visit the Design Teams Blogs below for some Sneak peek 'Sale-A-Bration' inspiration.

Next up is beautiful Yvonne, from The Netherlands.

Keep well, stay safe and see you in 2021! D x

The Just Add Ink Design Team have a Christmas Inspiration Challenge for this week.

Check out the Inspiration image below, and show us your creativity by adding your project into our gallery here.

The best part of our 'Inspiration' Challenge is that you choose your stamp set, your own layout & design, your theme, you can use similar colours and create what you want.

I have used my most favourite stamp set from our August-December Mini Catalogue,

'Gnome for the Holidays'. (Inspired by the snow man in the image.)

I coloured my Gnome with 'Stampin' Blends Markers', and I have fussy cut him out.

Adding 'Stampin' Dimensionals' to the Gnome for a little lift from the circle element.

I have used the 'Cherry Cobbler' star pattern from the 'Classic Christmas' Designer Series Paper, for the background of my Gnome.

The 'Shaded Spruce' foliage is from the 'Christmas Layers Dies'. I have snipped the branches, and adhered them underneath the circle element.

The sentiment is from the 'Perfectly Plaid' stamp set, and I have heat embossed it directly to the 'In Good Taste' Designer Series Paper using the 'White Stampin' Emboss Powder'.

I hope you have enjoyed my Inspiration creation, and you have been inspired to create something for us all to see. Have a wonderful week, and see you next time.
