September 15, 2021September 14, 202115 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects to share with you featuring our fabulous line of hand held punches. You may have arrived from Joy’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

The Hand Penned suite featured pastel floral prints all over the patterned papers. So it goes well with card stock to accent a focal point.

It’s an easy card to put together using the supplies below.

Thanks for hopping with us each month. Now click on the next image to zoom to Tracy’s blog and see what fun project she designed.

Here is a list of hoppers in case you get off the trail…

Kits Collection Make an Afternoon of Fun!

September 7, 2021September 8, 20211 Comment

At Stampin’ Up! we’re driven to make a positive difference in people’s lives. We offer not only great products and customer service, but we also provide amazing experiences, creativity, community, and more!

We’re proud of our reputation for attracting and providing solutions for avid crafters, and we’ll continue to focus on that customer group. We also want to share this great opportunity and community with even more people and create a path for non-crafters and beginners to be a part of what we do—making it easier to craft with us and easier for demonstrators to share the Stampin’ Up! experience.

We see a real opportunity to reach other types of customers whom we believe would benefit from being associated with Stampin’ Up!—perhaps those who don’t consider themselves to be creative, have time or space limitations, or who would love to have fun experiences but aren’t interested in collecting crafting supplies (yet). We want to give these potential customers a taste of the Stampin’ Up! experience so they can see what we offer and imagine how it could make a positive difference in their lives.

Enter the Kits Collection. These all-inclusive kits were designed for beginner crafters or those looking for a quick creative fix. They are a fun and fast introduction to Stampin’ Up! and all that it has to offer—its creative focus, its active community, and its opportunities for personal growth.

Here is a video from Sara Douglass explaining what is included in a kit. They have even included a QR code in the box that will link you to an assembly video!

Looks like something you might want to try or share since they make excellent gifts too? This link will take you to my online store. At my online store, click on Shop Products/Kits Collection to see kit availability. These kits are only while supplies last so order while you are visiting my store. The link to my online store provided above uses a current host code which will link your order to me. Please remove the host code if your order is over $150 excluding shipping and tax so you can redeem all the host rewards yourself.

Check back tomorrow since the Christmas Whimsy kit will be revealed then!

Honey Bee Punch Art

I love a good punch! It’s double fun when punch art can be created with parts of the image used not as intended. The Snowman Builder punch creates snowpeeps…

but it also creates honey bees!

The honey bee tag was part of my VLOG home decor project. See my blog post about that project here.

Here is a link to my Youtube video showing how to create this fun little tag, suitable for beekeepers like me or anyone that needs a cheerful paper crafting surprise in their mailbox. I have my tag hanging on my vision board.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop In Good Taste Designer Series Paper Spotlight

July 21, 2021July 21, 202120 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects to share with you featuring our fabulous designer series paper. You may have arrived from Nancy’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

My sniblet bin calls me when I make a floral card in part because I have lots of sniblets from the In Good Taste paper package. The patterns from this pack pair well with any type of floral stamp you may have on your shelf.

The Hand Penned Petals Stamp set with the Penned Flowers dies makes creating a focal point easy. Add some 3D Loose Flower Flourishes for instant pop along with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Complete with a Flowers for Every Season ribbon and this card is ready for sharing!
