Day 2 - Virtual Open House Highlighting the Holiday Mini Catalog

Hello friends!

Welcome to Day 2 of my virtual Open House to celebrate the new Holiday Mini catalog and the Jul-Aug Sale-a-bration flyer. I held an event this past Saturday to celebrate. I'm sharing the make & take projects from my in-person event each day this week on my Facebook business page.

July Inspiring Pretty Paper Projects

July Kite Fun Fold tutorial

I reward my customers who place minimum $30 with an Inspiring Pretty Paper Projects pdf (15 project photos and ingredients with measurements; new pdf each month) and for orders over $50, I give a fun fold tutorial pdf (new tutorial each month with supply list and photos of different 12 versions of the fun fold).

I'm slowly building online resources for my customers by offering a variety of ways to be inspired: 

• I participated in a blog hop last week where the theme was Encouragement; click here to see my project, then hop to the next blog for more inspiring projects!
• a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmreKUpzXHUbxTPyp6z7FyA Like and subscribe so you don't miss new videos!
• I recently participated in a Facebook Share Fair (think online stamp camp with inspiring, live stamping demonstrations) with 15 demos from English-speaking countries. We hold these events approximately every other month in a private fb group; my customers and downline get to watch for free (live or on replay) as a perk for supporting my stamping business.
• I'm planning a virtual event on World Card Making Day, October 1st with several other Demonstrators. Save the date and watch for more details as the date approaches!

Watch a replay of the FB Live here.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Fall Beauty of Friendship

 

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects with a Fall theme. Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, created a Fall-themed project. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Sue Boerner's blog. I enjoyed her project!

My project features the Beauty of Friendship stamp set to create a tree with fall-colored leaves. Although this stamp set is bundled with coordinating Beautiful Trees dies, for my project I only used the stamps. I paired a sentiment from Banner Year stamp set with texture from In Good Taste designer series paper (DSP) to create a woodsy feel.

You'll want to break out the hot apple cider when you get this card in your mailbox!

But wait! It gets even better - it's a fun fold card and there's a baby squirrel inside!

The Beauty of Friendship is a unique 2-step stamp set. The base image for the tree leaves adds depth and contrast even before stamping the separate leaf highlight image on top. I stamped the tree leaves just once with Mango Melody ink and it looks like I stamped off because of the lighter and darker Mango Melody leaves, but I didn't - the stamp did it. Very cool! I used a Cajun Craze marker directly on the stamp in a few spots toward the bottom before stamping the leaf highlights to give my tree a late fall look. Then I added a bit of Misty Moonlight around the tree with a blending brush. 

I think this card would work well as a Thanksgiving card using either the With a Grateful Heart or Happy Thanksgiving sentiments from the Banner Year set. 

Do you send Fall or Thanksgiving cards or give a card to your Thanksgiving host? Please leave a comment sharing how you use Fall-themed cards. Thanks for stopping by!
