I must admit I kind of ‘ho-hummed’ at the lily pad products in this year’s Sale-A-Bration brochure when I first saw them. Then they came into my home as part of an order (for every $50 spent in product from January-March during Sale-A-Bration (SAB) you earn a free product from the SAB brochure). Yes, as a demo who needs to check out many products, I earned plenty! And when I got these Lily products in my hands I kind of went nuts. They are so much fun and so very colorful!
Let’s start with the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is full of color! All of these colors are used somewhere in these 12″ x 12″ sheets of paper.
I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Granny Apple Green card stocks and a sheet of the DSP for today’s card. And I used the Lovely Lily Pad (free for $50 purchase) and Sending You Thoughts ) also free for $50 in other SU! product purchases) stamp sets. The Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper is also free for a $50 purchase. The Lily Pad Dies are free for a $100 product purchase. Yes, you do have to purchase quite a bit to earn these products, but……..if you’re going to purchase them anyway it’s great to get a freebie along with that purchase.
Although my cards are pretty much identical, they each have their own individuality.

I hope you have enjoyed this introduction, from my point of view, of the Lily Pad selection of Sale-a-Bration products. I’m still quite busy trying to settle into a new home in a new state and my stamping opportunities have been rather few and far between in recent weeks. But when I get started I’ll often spend the entire day which is just a ton of fun for sure!
Sale-a-Bration is in full swing. That means for every $50 or $100 dollars you spend for great Stamping’ Up! product you’ll earn at least one reward from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. Click here to open a PDF of this brochure if you don’t yet have one.
