October Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the October Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sue McDonald's blog. Welcome one and all.

This month we are featuring fall-themed projects or projects demonstrating Stampin' Up!'s fabulous pattern paper called Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is not a secret that select packages of DSP are on sale this month at a 15% discount.

For my cards today I decided to use the Life is Beautiful Stamp Set, designed by Million Sales Achiever LeeAnn Graff, using both a fall theme and Plaid Tidings DSP.

I cannot believe I waited this long to use this stamp set. When I first saw the bird house in this stamp set, I had to have it. Now I have found that I love this tree! For the leaves I used a group of colors from a color challenge last week (The Paper Players Color Challenge PP512: Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Cinnamon Cider). The black plaid strip along the left side is a 3/4" strip from the workshop cards we made this past Saturday.

This weekend I watched a video where LeeAnn Graff shows several cards she designed using her stamp set. In one of her cards she used purple for the leaves. I thought I should try it - I used Rich Razzleberry which coordinates with this strip from the Plaid Tidings DSP.

The Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" DSP is from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (MC pp. 56-57). Versatile and adorable patterned paper!

These cards are fairly simple to recreate, but if you need measurements, just let me know. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you and your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it!

NEW 2020 MINI CATALOG

(August 4, 2020 - January 4, 2021)

If you have placed an order from me over the past year, you received a copy of the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (formerly called the Holiday Mini Catalog) in the mail.  If you did not receive one, please contact me immediately and let's fix that. If you do not already have a demonstrator, it would be my pleasure to be your enabler (er, I mean demonstrator) and send you a copy of your very own. Chock full of inspiration and ideas. 

As always, if you have any questions, or need any assistance, contact me in your favorite method of communication. :)
