Hey there, thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! 

Today, I'm sharing a Christmas Card (no, it's never too early) with you that features one of my most favourite colour combinations of all time...pink and grey. I remember years ago, as I was designing for one of my Stamp Camps (more on this further down), I played around with some colour combos and created a pink and grey Christmas Card which I (and everyone at Stamp Camp) loved! Since then, it's almost become a tradition to create a pink and grey Christmas card annually! 

I used the Whimsy and Wonder Suite in the Holiday Catalogue to create this card. I love everything about this suite. It's like Stampin' Up! could read my mind and created this just for me LOL. All products used to create this card are listed below. 

When I first saw this paper, I just knew that I needed to include it in our upcoming Stamp Camp and immediately messaged my fellow co-organizer, Jennifer to tell her! Here's one more look at my card:

Here's a video replay of the Facebook Live where I made this card:

So, what's Stamp Camp, you ask? Well, it's one of my most popular and well attended events. I run a Stamp Camp everytime a new catalogue launches and feature stamps and products from the new catalogue. Historically, Stamp Camp was held in person; however, once the pandemic hit, I switched and began doing them virtually. I'll be holding my FOURTH virtual Stamp Camp on September 18th, 2021...here are the details:

For this Stamp Camp, we'll be featuring the Peaceful Deer Bundle and the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set. We'll be designing 5 cards with each set and prepping all the materials for participants to make a total of 10 cards! 

Here's what participants can expect from my Stamp Camps:

• Make & Take packets for 10 cards designed by me and my partner, Jennifer Hill
• over $40 in NEW Stampin' Up! product as part of a swag bag
• 2 pillow gift to surprise and delight
• Product Demonstrations to feature additional product bundles and suites - a great source of inspiration and creativity
• Hundreds of dollars of prizes to be won!
• PDF Tutorials of all projects
• Virtual Display Albums
• Event takes place over Zoom and is recorded
• All content housed in a private and exclusive Facebook Group
• Fun, connection, relaxation, creativity and inspiration!

I have just a few spots remaining for my Holiday Stamp Camp - at the time of writing this post, there are only 8 spots left!

All Star Tutorial Design Team Blog Hop - Hand-Penned Petals Congratulations Card

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I'm hopping along with the talented crafters on the All Star Tutorial Design Team for our August Blog Hop and this month, we're featuring the gorgeous Hand-Penned Petals Suite. 

I'm a HUGE fan of florals and soft pastels, so this suite has my heart 😍The stamps, the dies, the paper, the gems...I love ALL. OF. IT.

Every month, members of the All Star Tutorial Design Team create a project for out Tutorial Bundle which includes 12 different video tutorials showcasing a suite or product. Our hope is to provide you with ideas, tips and inspiration to help make your crafting experience successful. 

Here's a sneak peek of my project this month:

Here's my project for the Blog Hop:

For my card, I started with a Thick Basic White card base and added a piece of the gorgeous Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. I chose to use a non-floral pattern, so the stamped and die cut flowers would stand out. 

I stamped the flowers in Memento Black and coloured them using Stampin' Blends. I then die cut the cluster of stamped and coloured flowers using the Penned Petals Dies. I also cut a flower and some leaves using the dies.  I adhered the die cut flowers and leaves to the card. 

I heat embossed the greeting in white on black cardstock and used the border die in the Penned Flowers Dies to cut the scalloped border. I added a bow using white Baker's Twine and glued down the sentiment using dimensionals. I embellished with Genial Gems, one of my favourite embellishments from the Annual Catalogue. 

I love the simplicity of the card and how the flowers and sentiment stand out beautifully against the white background. 

If you love this suite of products, you'll get loads of inspiration from our Tutorial Bundle this month. 

We will be featuring the following product collections over the next 6 months:
