Paper Crafting Blog Hop Snowflake Splendor

bloghopbannerapril2018-001

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 fun projects and design styles to share with you showcasing December Celebrations. You may have arrived from Sandy’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

Best laid plans change. I love the Snowflake Splendor Suite. When I initially created this blog post, my plan was to use this suite. But then I got to designing without consulting my notes and came up with these square acetate box designs which are perfectly sized for a couple of candy store chocolate treats.

one for Christmas using a pattern from the Forever Greenery paper pack…

one for Valetine’s using the red velvet 12×12 inch paper…

Both use the beaded pearl trio embellishments found in the August-December mini-catalog. Snap them up quick because they did not make it into the January-June mini-catalog.

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.

Get ready for the snowy season with our Up North Stamp-a-Stack Online Retreat! Join Elizabeth from Canada and me while we feature the Snowflake Splendor Suite via Zoom and a private Facebook group. Videos will be available for replay too. Sunday, October 18th, 1-3pm central time is when we will gather around our computers and stamp-a-stack of snowflakes together!

Your retreat includes 40 make-n-take packets, 10 each of the 4 designs shown in the photos below, a pillow gift and thank you note. Since you are doing the stamping, stamp sentiments in the occasion you desire: thank you, thinking of you, birthday, winter holiday greetings and just because!

After the retreat is over, a pdf tutorial of all the make-n-take projects and the bonus demonstration will be emailed to you in case you need to stamp-a-stack more!

Please Note: you will need to use your own stamps, inks, adhesives, dies and embossing folders to finish the kits. The snowflake die cut shapes are not included but the paper for you to cut the shapes is included. Links are below to order these additional products. If you already have similar items in your stash, that’s fine too.

Please access Zoom and join the private Facebook group for the best experience. The Zoom link will be sent a few days prior to the event. An invitation to join the private Facebook group will be sent once your registration has been paid. If you can only access Youtube and have an email address to send the pdf tutorials to, you are still welcome to join us!

Ready to register? Please click the Contact button above and request to join the Up North Stamp-a-Stack Retreat. I’ll send a $75 PayPal invoice to your email address.

It’s fun to visit different regions of the world and without leaving your home is a bonus! I am partnering with Elizabeth Green from Canada to bring you an Up North Online Retreat on Sunday, October 18th, 1-3pm central time, featuring the Snowflake Splendor Suite. Can you identify our rolled o’s during our presentations? Since we are both from Up North, I can hear the Up North accent during video playback. I don’t think I sound like that in person:)

We have decided on a Stamp-a-Stack theme to get the most out of shipping costs. The snowflake designs can be used for many different occasions too: thank you, thinking of you, birthday, winter holiday greetings and just because! Your retreat includes 40 make-n-take packets, 10 each of the 4 designs shown in the photos below, a pillow gift and thank you note.

After the retreat is over, a pdf tutorial of all the make-n-take projects and the bonus, surprise demonstration will be emailed to you so you will have all the dimensions and supplies used to recreate the projects in your stamp space.

Content will be broadcast via Youtube, Zoom and a private Facebook group. Please make sure you can access Zoom and join the private Facebook group for the best experience. The Zoom link will be sent a few days prior to the event. An invitation to join the private Facebook group will be sent once your registration has been paid.
