August Blog Hop Featuring Animal Outing and Animal Expedition DSP


Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the August Blog Hop! I am participating in another blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the United States, United Kingdom and Canada! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Darla Roberts' blog. Welcome one and all.

The theme for our blog hop this month is Anything Pets. This was a challenge for me. Even though I have a dog and two cats, I do not have any dog or cat stamps. I do have the cat punch, but I recently used it on a card for the June Blog Hop. (Click Here to check out my June post.) I could have used the Jars of Love stamp set (for the fish -- cute idea, right?), but I thought the new Animal Outing bundle (which includes the Animal Friends thinlits for a 10% discount when you purchase both) would work well for an anniversary card. This sentiment is perfect!


I made a peek-a-boo window using the Starburst punch and a Circle punch to highlight two frogs on a branch from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper (DSP).  A sprinkling of hearts in Tranquil Tide and Lemon Lime Twist using the Cookie Cutter Builder punch really show the LOVE in this card. Absolutely love the trim along the left edge made from the leaf die cut. I don't know if you can tell from the photo that some of the leaves are partially cut. I just love it!

I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.

July Paper Pumpkin Kit

Good morning crafters?  Are you already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  If you are, last month's kit was a super cute treat basket and 3x3 card. I just love it. Here's a quick picture of one of the cards I made.


There are just days left (thru August 10) for new subscribers to Paper Pumpkin to try out this amazing kit at half price. If you need more details or help setting up your account, give me a call. Use Promo Code BLOOM0818.


Don't Forget the Ink!
Just a quick reminder to use this month's host code for your orders under $150 (orders of $150 or more already earn Stamping Rewards).  For all online orders between $50 to $149 using my workshop hostess code, I will send you a product share as my bonus gift to you.  (I will send it to you separately via U. S. mail. The host code is 92Z9KZWD.

Color Your Season
This amazing bundle of stamps and framelits is available for a limited time (thru 8/31 or while supplies last), as well as the Watercolor Pencils. The assortment pencil set features all new colors and the Stitched season and the Stitched Season Framelits have a fun new trick with stitching elements on both the inside and outside.
These products are not available in a catalog. Stampin' Up! has an awesome video out with inspiration from Shannon West from the home office. I have a detailed flyer too so message me if you are interested. 


Bonus days!! Just like last year, for every $50 (excluding shipping/handling/taxes) spent during August, Stampin' Up! is re warding you with a bonus coupon worth $5 towards purchases in September. Isn't Stampin' Up! wonderful!! (Save that email with the bonus codes as I do not have access to them.)


I think that covers everything for now. Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend.

Stamp on!
