IDEAS Blog Hop: Holidays - Taco Fiesta

 

Hi friends!! Thanks for joining the IDEAS team as we hop along and see some holiday project. Yup, that is the theme for July, "Holidays". What do you think of when you hear that, Christmas, Easter, or ?? Well, some people call vacations holidays, so the word encompasses a lot! This bundle is filled with so many fun holiday projects from Christmas to New Years to Family Fishing Holidays to Easter and Birthdays, suitcases, handbags, a seaside holiday and even a Taco Fiesta Party!! 

Can you guess which one mine is? Well, I hate to disappoint, but my designs are exclusive to the bundle, so you will have to get it to see. But, I have another card designed using the same technique as my bundle project to share with you. Consider it my gift to you, a bonus, if you will! And I didn't think about the fact that my Taco Fiesta was in the bundle, or I wouldn't have named my post as I did, but too late to change now....

Here is a collage with snippets of some of our projects. You can see the variety, even here:

Here is my bonus card for you:

You give the cupcake a few twists before you place it in the envelope, and when it is taken out, the cupcake does a few spins! Just a little fun for the recipient! 

This tutorial bundle includes 27 projects from 14 global demonstrators, over 75 pages of fun!! 

Have you seen enough? Would you like a copy of the tutorials for these projects for your personal use, or even to use in your classes? Contact your member demonstrator or me.  I offer three options to acquire our IDEAS tutorial bundle:

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities: Welcome Inn

 

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 June Paper Pumpkin Kit: Welcome Inn

Here are the kit elements:

And the cards as designed: 

I try to focus on the stamp set, and how it can be used with other Stampin' Up! products, once the kits components are used up. Here is my alternate card:

From the kit, along with the stamp set, I did use one of the card fronts and cut 1/2" strips from it, and one of the white vases, which I stamped on.  I added a Night of Navy card base, and some Basic White cardstock , to complete the card. 

I, also, used the add-on dies to cut the flowers out for the card front. This is the 2nd time Stampin' Up! has offered dies as an add on! It has been a hit both times! 

Thanks so much for checking out my blog. Hop on over to Terri's blog to see how she is Welcoming you Inn!! 

Leave a comment if you like what you see!

Until next time...

Sweet Citrus

Hi friends! 

I hope all is well with you. I wanted to share a card made on my Thursday Facebook Live called, This or That Stampin'. This stamping time is decided by the viewers. You choose which stamp set I will create with. 

On Wednesday, I post 2 stamp sets. You get to pick which one I will use in my Thursday live. Just go vote, then come back and watch...easy for you! Sometimes easy for me, sometimes not, haha!

Last week the choices were: 

Sweet Citrus won!

The Sweet Citrus Stamp Set, not only has coordinating dies, it also has an embossing folder and it is a hybrid folder where you can insert the dies and cut out the image, while you are embossing it! Super cool, right?! 

Here is what I made using all the elements of this bundle:

Love the Wink of Stella sparkle on the inside fruit. I makes the fruit look juicy. 

Don't forget to stamp your envelope!

Join me on my Facebook page to see how this was made.

I hope you enjoy it. This bundle is a must have!

Until next time...

IDEAS Blog Hop: Fast & Fabulous Little Monkey

Hello friends!! It is time for the May IDEAS Blog Hop! The IDEAS team is made up of Stampin' Up!  demonstrator from all over the globe. We pick our monthly theme, then create based on it. Our theme this month is "Fast & Fabulous".  I love simple and quick cards, so this is right up my alley!! I used a 6" x 6" one sheet wonder to make 4 fast cards. They are all similar, so don't take a lot of thought, but different enough that the recipients wouldn't think they were massed produced.

Here is a collage with snapshots showing  a peek at the different projects: 

The "Fast & Fabulous" Tutorial Bundle has projects from 11 global demonstrators. It  includes complete instructions for over 30 projects. More than 50 pages of instructions have color photos, imperial and metric dimensions, and complete supply lists. 

My actual tutorial designs are secret and exclusively shared in the tutorial.  But, here is a bonus project, not included in the bundle. It uses the same stamp set and Designer Series Paper, but is a completely different design: 

I think easel cards are fast and they truly are fabulous. It is just a different twist to a regular sized card, but definitely gives it a little WOW factor! 

Would you like a copy of the tutorial bundle to use personally or even use the projects in your classes? I have several ways you can obtain our IDEAS tutorial bundles:

1. Place a $35 order with my online host code, KDSTP9KS. Click here.

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

3. Purchase it for $15 USD. (PayPal, Venmo or Zelle)

Once you have received the tutorials, please remember not to share or distribute the printed or electronic copies of these bundles. We have worked hard to provide these exclusive projects for your use. If you know someone that would like to purchase the bundle, please direct them to me to obtain their copy. Thanks for your support!
