16 Stampin' Up!® cards – all featuring discounted stamps, dies and Designer Series Paper

Stampin Up UK sale discounted stamps


It’s a big day today as our fabulous Stampin’ Up!® Seasonal Sale has started! It actually started at 11pm yesterday here in the UK and it runs until 11pm Friday, offering discounts of up to 20% off Annual Catalogue items.

Today I have 16 different projects to show you, highlighting some of my favourite products from the Seasonal Sale. 
 
It’s been fun to go through my projects of the past year to see some really beautiful stamps, dies, punches, embossing folders and Designer Series Papers. These often get overlooked when a Mini Catalogue comes along so it’s great to give them some time in the spotlight once again.

But first, a quick rundown of the sale. You can get:

✂️ 10% off all punches
✂️ 15% of all stamps (not host sets)
✂️ 20% off all dies
✂️ 20% off all embossing folders
✂️ 20% off all non-speciality Designer Series Paper

And it’s a big WEEK too because it’s my 15th anniversary as a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator – and also 15 years since Stampin’ Up!® arrived here in the UK. Yes I joined in the first week – didn’t even have to think about it!

To celebrate, if you spend £40 at my store using the host code 2FB3CGFD, I will send you a Classic Stampin' Pad of your choice in early December, to celebrate my 15th anniversary as a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. Important: Don’t add the ink pad to your order or you will end up paying for it.


So let’s take a look at some of the vast range of sale products featured in these projects:

In the sale:
  • Dragonfly Garden stamp set (154411)
  • Dragonflies Punch (154240)
I LOVE these products, and I love these projects too. I have had a lot of mileage out of the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and Dragonflies punch, and they never go out of style.

In the sale:
  • Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set (158203)
  • Seaside Seashells dies (156095)
  • Seashells 3D embossing folder (154309)
Simply stunning products! A must for anyone who loves the seaside. I don’t often use bright pink but I do love how it looks on these bright shells from Friends Are Like Seashells. And the blending on the left card is a favourite technique of mine; it looks great when you do this before embossing, as I’ve done here with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

In the sale:
  • Count on Me stamp set (155647)
  • Layering Diorama Dies (155565)

I made these projects for a Pride-themed blog hop. We are a little light on images for same-sex couples so I thought the Count on Me stamp set was perfect. It’s ideal for any animal-lover too; such fun images.

I actually bought the Diorama Dies to make under-the-sea scenes but still haven’t made one of those. They are really great for creating an unusual border with softer edges than a harsh rectangle or circle. Plus, the shapes you pop out are fun, too, as you can see on the card on the right.

In the sale:
  • Cup of Tea stamp set (158661)
  • Teacup Dies (160186)
  • Tea Boutique 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (158659)
 
As I held a full day of stamping with these products, I have done this Suite to death! Or have I? There’s plenty of mileage left in it and you can get lots of different looks simply by changing the colours.

It’s important to note here that the Cup of Tea bundle is still available, with the Cup of Tea stamp set and Teacup Dies.. but during the Stampin' Up!® Seasonal Sale, it’s cheaper to buy these items separately.

In the sale:
  • Happier Than Happy stamp set (158944)
  • Charming Sentiments stamp set (159985)

Two of my favourite products here. I adore the Happier Than Happy stamp set with its cute bear, fox and owl. I don’t have the dies so haven’t checked but the other bundles shown here are a guide, it will be cheaper to buy the stamps and dies separately during the sale.

The Charming Sentiments stamp set is so versatile. Definitely worth adding to your stash.

In the sale:
  • Happier Than Happy stamp set (158944)
  • Happy Forest Friends Designer Series Paper (158941)

Couldn’t resist slipping in another Happier Than Happy project, to show off this gorgeous Designer Series Paper. Grab it while it’s 20% off!

In the sale:
  • Nature’s Harvest stamp set (156495)
  • Harvest Dies (156504)

Gorgeous! I do love wildlife and wildflower images, as you have probably guessed from this selection. If you want to invest in these, normally it’s cheaper to buy the bundle but not this week! Order the Nature's Harvest stamp set and Harvest Dies separately and you will save even more.

In the sale:
  • In the Moment stamp set (157987)

Such a beautiful stamp set, perfect if you love colouring! Not my style at all but I stepped out of my comfort zone and loved using this set.

In the sale:
  • Let’s Set Sail stamp set (157900)
  • Sailboat Builder Punch (157905)
  • Into the Clouds embossing folder (159171)

I held an event based on this bundle in the summer and we had a great time creating boat-themed projects with the Let’s Set Sail stamp set and Sailboat Builder Punch. Normally cheaper if you buy the bundle but not this week – they are cheaper to purchase separately.

In the sale:
  • Simply Succulents stamp set (154480)
  • Potted Succulents dies (154330)
I was late to the Simply Succulents trend, even though I had been hanging my nose over it for AGES. What took me so long? It’s beautiful!

In the sale:
  • Quiet Meadow stamp set (155082)
  • Meadow dies (155852)

Another one right up my street, although again I held off for ages before caving in and ordering Quiet Meadow. I still don’t have the Meadow dies but this is no time for regrets – and anyway I could get them at 20% off this week!

In the sale:
  • Grove Dies (157844)
  • Grassy Grove stamp set (not shown) (157836)

I held an event based on these products in the spring and loved every single project we made. It’s one of my favourite bundles ever but don’t whatever you do order the Grassy Grove bundle this week because it’s cheaper to get the Grassy Grove stamp set and Grove dies separately!

I hope these projects have inspired you. And remember, there are many, many more products available in the sale which runs on the Stampin’ Up!® store until 11pm on Friday in the UK.

If you are in the UK and would like to order, please visit my store and, if you use the November 2022 host code 2FB3CGFD, I’ll send you a thank you gift in the following month. Spend £40 or more and that thank you gift will be an ink pad of your choice – just message me with your choice of colour.


Does your wish list come to more than £99? Please get in touch and I will help you get more for your money and unlock discounts all year round.
