Paper Crafting Blog Hop Thinking of You

May 20, 2020May 20, 202010 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Thinking of You Guys themed Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Annette McMillan’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I decided to stamp a birthday card since birthdays are a Thinking of You occasion. It’s a quick and easy card with just stamps, paper and inks.

I have pulled all my soon to be retiring stamp sets and placed them in a pile. It’s 24 sets which I will try to showcase on my blog one last time before they are gone for good! I used the sets in photo to create this card along with the Tailored Tags punch and Country Club designer series paper.

The inks used…look close the stamps have not been cleaned yet!

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

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

Good Morning, Stampin’ Up! has regional managers that help guide and train demonstrators. The Great Lakes manager shared a One Sheet Wonder video on our Facebook page. Here is what I created along with her.

Sniblets CASE

May 12, 2020Leave a comment

My demonstrator friend from the United Kingdom saw a video where I showed my sniblets pile. You know the one: the basket, bucket or shelf that holds all the scraps from previous projects. She said she had a good project to share that would use my sniblet strips. My project in this post is a CASE of her sniblet project. I had to make it purple, of course!

Just layer some strips on a base. Then custom cut around the base to create a focal point background.

Supplies used in making this project…

I also shared a how to video in a Create Along with Me on Facebook. Here is a link to the video in case you are on Facebook. While you are there, turn on Notifications to my page so you get notified when I go live next. FB Live videos are available for replay too.

Have a great day that includes purple, a gorgeous grape shade will do!

One Papercrafting Paper Pumpkin Kit, could it be yours?

May 9, 2020May 9, 2020Leave a comment

GM, If you are looking for something to do or know of someone you would like to surprise with a paper crafting kit, I can divert my May Paper Pumpkin box to any USA address. The shipping address needs to be updated by the 10th of the month to ship to you or a friend. That means, we have until about 8pm on May 10th to get the $25 PayPal payment and shipping details set. Click Contact above to snag my box for you! May kits are sold out so this is the only way to get a box if you are not already a subscriber.

If you miss getting my May box, you can look forward to signing up for your own box for the June kit. Full program details and sign up are through this link. Please make sure my name is somewhere on the screen so you are subscribing through me. This link should assign your purchase to me though.

Here are the kits from the last few months. It’s a surprise as to what is exactly in the box. But they do give some clues like project type, colors and themes for the upcoming month.

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!
