Welcome to the 2020 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!
Sale-A-Bration is an exciting time of the year—and it just got even better with more fantastic products to earn! More products mean more creative possibilities to experiment with!!
The Stampin’ Up! 2020 Artisan Design Team has so many amazing creations for you to see! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs and the oodles of possibilities that come with the products from the Sale-A-Bration 2nd Release!
During Sale-A-Bration (ends March 31, 2020) you can earn the REVERSIBLE Rise & Shine Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set for FREE with a qualifying $100 USD purchase (before shipping & tax).Â
How did I earn it? By purchasing the Best Dressed Suite of Products, Item 153926 ($81), and the Cup of Cheer Dies, Item 151150 ($30). The total before shipping & tax is $111 (makes me feel lucky), allowing you to add the coordinating Rise & Shine Sale-A-Bration set to your order! YAY!

Cup of Cheer Dies
The Cup of Cheer Dies were first introduced in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. The dies carried over, but the coordinating Cup of Christmas Stamp Set retired.  I LOVE that there is yet another REVERSIBLES stamp set (Rise & Shine) that has been made avaialble to coordinate with these dies.Â

I wanted to create a tad outside the box when using the All Dressed Up Dies. Instead of creating a purse/tote, I decided to go with a cute backpack! I know, I barely stepped outside the box, certainly didn’t jump :).
I kept it clean and simple, just added a few elements to make it resemble a backpack.
![](https://stampinhoot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Step-By-Step-Instructions-Stampin-Hoot.jpg)
- Use the All Dressed Up dies & a die-cutting and embossing machine to crop the following pieces of Basic Gray Cardstock: purse body x 2, long strap x 3, pocket x 1, buckle strap x 1. Â
- Use the 2 3/8″ Circle Stitched Shapes Die to crop a piece of Basic Gray Cardstock.Â
- Zip two pieces of Smoky Slate Cardstock through a die-cutting and embossing machine, tucked inside the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder. TIP: Take advantage of the 3D Embossing Plate to make it easy creating your sandwich. Crop the two pieces with the purse die, making sure to line the largest opening properly over the embossed lines. Snip out so just the large piece remains.Â
- Crop a button and two buckles (All Dressed Up Dies) of Smoky Slate Cardstock. Thread Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine through the button holes and adhere a Whisper White Best Dressed Tassel to the backside of the button.Â
- Assemble the backpack as shown in the pictures, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and/or a strong glue of choice to adhere the pieces in place.Â
- Snip out the two perfume bottles from the Best Dressed 6×6 Designer Series Paper and tuck them inside the front pocket of the backpack.Â

I love how the Best Dressed 6×6 Designer Series Paper set the color combination for this card. Petal Pink is one of my FAVORITE colors of all time. It is so gorgeous and coordinates with so many different colors!
The Rise & Shine Stamp Set is perfect for the casual to avid crafter. The reversibles stamps are user friendly and allow you to create mugs of many directions. I recommend pairing the set with a Stamparatus. The solid stamps get the best stamp image when even pressure is applied.Â

Dear Stesha,
how lovely! and this unexpected colors! Thanks for sharing!!
That handbag is the Bomb!!!
Your quilted backpack, in gray, looks real enough to be made of leather! Superb! The card is sweet and I like the way the generous twine bow hangs – just like the sentiment. 🙂
Very cute!
Absolutely love everything about your projects.
The bag pack is super fun and the colors you used on both the back pack and the card are working so well together.
That little bag is amazing! The colour combo between the two projects are spot on!
