Tomorrow’s the big day! The new July-December Mini Catalog (Holiday Mini) goes live and I cannot WAIT. Once again, Stampin’ Up! has created an amazing book for us with beautiful products as well as pages and pages of inspiration.
Also going live tomorrow is the new Sale-A-Bration (SAB) brochure. This used to be a once-a-year sale, but for the first time SU is offering SAB a 2nd time with the release of the Holiday Mini. I love SAB time — spend $50 (or $100) and you get something additional. You’ll be spending anyway, especially gearing up for holiday projects, so I’m so thankful for the 2nd SAB offering this year.
Today’s post focuses on the some of the paper offerings in the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Y’all KNOW I love love love SU’s paper. Well, here we go! Christmas paper that is perfect for all of your holiday cards and handmade items, and GORGEOUS chucky sparkly paper. Holy. So I will tell you off the bat that this 6 x 6 glittery gorgeousness is another product that has limited quantities. NOTE: I should have included in yesterday’s Sheep post that the Sheep Dies are also limited.
What does that mean? Well, since SAB is only two months long, during this round of Sale-A-Bration, some products will only be available while supplies last. This means that once they’re gone, they’re gone for good! The Sale-A-Bration products with limited supply include:
- 156629 Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Specialty Paper
- 156600 Sheep Dies
- 156618 Summer Shadows Dies
Okay, I know, get to the samples….These cards use the SAB paper called Peaceful Prints.

It is 12 x 12 in size and you’ll see tomorrow it coordinates with the Peaceful Deer Bundle coming out in the Mini. You don’t need the bundle though to make quick, beautiful Christmas cards.
You can see on this card I simply used the DSP as a background, used a strip of the Be Dazzling DSP, the more of the Peaceful Prints DSP, and finished it off with a sentiment. There is a stamp set in the Mini coming out called Encircled in Warmth, which coordinates with the Encircled in Beauty Dies in the Annual Catalog. Here’s the full set I made using each of the designs:

The cards came together so quickly thanks to this gorgeous paper! Be sure to add them to your wish list as you get ready for ordering tomorrow! You can place an order any time through my online store. Remember, use my August Host code if your order is under $150: PKSW7T4D. Many thanks!
