It's a fun-fold, Believe You Can card for our July Paper Crew Blog Hop!




Ahoy friends, and welcome aboard the Paper Crew July Blog! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who have come together online to create cards, scrapbook pages and other craft projects. We hope these samples will inspire you to also create fun projects, using amazing Stampin' Up! products.

This month we are sharing projects using a floral theme from the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. You may be just starting your hop here or coming from a previous blog. Either way, you've come to the right spot. Please enjoy your favourite beverage and maybe a snack or two while you read our blogs. At the end of this blog, you will find a list of all participants that will help you move along. My choice is Believe You Can.


It is a Hostess Stamp Set, so it is at the back of the Annual Catalogue.  This means that you would need $200 in sales either by placing a $200 order or having a workshop for $200 before you can order this. The reason I chose this Stamp Set, is that I usually don't get the Hostess Stamp Sets, so I decided that I would start this year off by getting a hostess stamp set. There are four to choose from, I liked the sentiments in this one.  I am actually featuring three cards this month.  Two of my cards are using the Diagonal Gate Fold Technique.  They all are using the Magnolia Lanes Designer Series Paper.  The first Diagonal Gate Fold Card is the smaller one, I first saw this one in a video, when I made it I thought that is rather small. I went looking for more videos and saw another one, and it was for the bigger one. The last card was to more or less be a different card to showcase that sentiment.  I fuzzy cut the sentiment as I don't have the Stitched Nested Labels Dies yet.  These could be brought separately or as part of a bundle with the Free As a Bird Stamp Set. The Card stocks I used were Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Basic Black, Mossy Meadow, and Early Espresso.  I also used Memento ink and Early Espresso ink.  Last but not least I used Neutrals and Subtles Stampin' Write Markers.

Hope you like it. All things you should put on your wishlist to purchase soon! Like really soon!

June Paper Crew Blog Hop -- Tea Together


Ahoy friends, and welcome aboard the Paper Crew June Blog! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who have come together online to create cards, scrapbook pages and other craft projects. We hope these samples will inspire you to also create fun projects, using amazing Stampin' Up! products.

This month we are sharing projects using any stamp from the newly released Stampin' Up 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue. You may be just starting your hop here or coming from a previous blog. Either way, you've come to the right spot. Please enjoy your favourite beverage and maybe a snack or two while you read our blogs. At the end of this blog, you will find a list of all participants that will help you move along. My choice is Tea Together.


When I first saw this stamp set in the Occasions Catalogue, it reminded me of the weekends I would spend with my Nana at her place while she drank her spot of tea. I am so glad that they carried it over from the Occasions Catalogue. I simply love this stamp set. The flowers, the teapot, the teacup. I love that you can use it for Mother's Day. Even better — with the saying, "Love is a warm cup of Tea" — it could be used for any occasion.


My project showcases a braided card using the Tea Together Stamp.  The card base is Seaside Spray Cardstock. My teacup is stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Whisper White Cardstock.  My sentiment is stamped in Tuexedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White Cardstock using the 2" Circle Punch and Terracotta Tile Cardstock using a Starburst Punch. My Designer Series Paper is Woven Threads Designer Series Paper. And last but not least I used a strip of Rose Glimmer Paper.  Hope you like it.

All things you should put on your wish list to purchase soon! Like really soon!

Wow, it's Thursday.  Almost the end of the week.  So, excited. I did a short blog on my Stampin Up DBWS  site, but that will soon be ending. I was told to try blogger and that it was free, so here I am. I recently joined one of my team members and some of her downline and other team members for a blog hop that is starting in June for our cardmaking.  That should be so exciting for me. It is all to get me out of my comfort zone. Baby steps.  Now, it's just to figure out what all to put in a blog, lol. I will try to blog at least once a week. Or, maybe what I should do is blog a little everyday to get used to it.

For all of your stamping needs please go to my online store.
