ICS Blog Hop: Field of Flowers

Thank you for joining us on the Inspire Create Share Blog Hop. This month, to celebrate a new catalog and one of the things we love about a new catalog, we are featuring the 2020-2022 In Colors! Stampin' Up! gave us some terrific colors this year, don't you think?!

I couldn't decide on which color to showcase, so I showed them all. Everything about this card is new stuff, except the Thick Whisper White card base and the Whisper White layer. The punches, the Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the ribbon, all new!! And you can start ordering this stuff now too!! 

Without further ado, here is my card:

The little flowers were a happy accident. I punched the first flower out of a scrap of the DSP, and it had the polka dot in the middle. I liked how it looked, so made sure to get the polka dot in the center (or close to it) of all of the little flowers. They are just the sweetest and so easy if you use the Confetti Flowers Border Punch, that coordinates so nicely with the Field of Flowers Stamp Set. So well, in fact, you can get them as a bundle and save 10%!

I know, I cannot wait to see how the other bloggers have used the new In Colors, and I hope you will hop along with me to check them out. If you are inspired and see some projects you love, please leave us a comment. We so appreciate your support! Click on the next button to see what Deb has created for you!!

IDEAS Blog Hop: Tasteful Touches

Hello crafters!  I'm so excited to share our June IDEAS Blog Hop with you today. We are featuring projects that highlight the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog that goes live on June 3rd. Yes, in 2 days!! Our tutorial is full of amazing creative ideas!  For my tutorial, I used the "In Good Taste" Suite. 

The below graphic is a sneak peek at the some of the projects in our June IDEAS Tutorial Bundle.

My actual tutorial designs are exclusively shared in the tutorial, but I m sharing the same type of card just using different product with you today. 

My card is a fun fold called an Open Book Easel Card. My friend, Claudia, shared the project with me and then, she showed me and some others on our team how to make it. I, in turn, wanted to share it with you all, cuz it is so clever!! 

The book folds down to be a little flatter. But it is not one to go into a regular envelope, or it may be squished. 

What do you think of it? Want to see another? Buy the tutorial and you will! You will also get the step by step instructions. measurements (imperial and metric) and color photos, too.

Each tutorial designer features at least one card and one 3D project, some include multiple projects. You are getting over 20 project ideas for one low price. Would you like a copy of the tutorials for these projects for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact your participating demonstrator or me.  I offer three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

1. Place a $35 order with my online host code BJ7FDMAV. Shop here

2. It is free for all of my team members, join here

3. Purchase it for $15.

 Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles.

PPP Blog Hop: A Kit in Color

Welcome to the monthly Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop. We love Paper Pumpkin and love to share our enthusiasm for this monthly box of fun and creativity with you. The Paper Pumpkin kit is designed so you can follow the instructions provided in the kit to make the projects, or use the supplies as a starting point to let your creativity run wild (as we have!) Hop along with us, as we will share alternate ideas on how we used the May Paper Pumpkin Kit: A Kit in Color.

This kit showcases many of our new 2020-2022 In Colors! Here are the kit contents:

And here are the finished cards as designed:  

I am known for making boxes with my cardbases when they come designed like these. And the thought did cross my mind. But...when I saw the Magenta Madness tissue paper, I knew I wanted to show it off! What better way to show off tissue paper, than in a mini gift bag! So here is my alternative project this month: 

 I used the smaller of the 2 sizes of card fronts, and made this cute little bag. It is pretty thin as you can see in the 2nd photos, but perfect size for a gift card, or maybe even some jewelry! 

I used the Ornate Frames dies to cut the handle out and the little banners on the cloud. I left the banner blank, but will write a name on it, as soon as I can figure out who is going to receive it!

Glad you could join us, and hope you have been inspired to get your kit out and create. Once you are done here, click on the pumpkin below and hop on over to Cheryl's blog to see what fun she has created to share with us!

It would be awesome if you leave a comment on our projects along the way!! 

Until next time...Happy Craftin'!

June's kit is all about Spreading Sunshine, it is sure to be a fun one, and was designed to be shared! Don't forget to sign up, or reactivate your kit, if it is on hold. May's kit sold out, you don't want to miss this one too!
