Quick & Easy Teachers Gifts August Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop

 Hello and welcome to my blog; today is the first Wednesday of the month and that means that it's time for the Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop.  This month we worked off of the theme Quick & Easy Teachers Gifts since it's almost time for schools to start back.  Well, at least we all hope schools start back as close to normal as possible this year.  So, when I picked the theme for this month's Tutorial Bundle I thought this would be a great time to feature some very unsung heroes.  And to show them some love when your little ones go back into the classroom. 

Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop - Handsomely Suited Pop Up Corner Swing Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog; and the Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop. This month the tutorial bundle theme for May was Masculine Themed projects.  Each month we do a blog hop showcasing the same theme with alternative projects that we created using the same products we used in our tutorial.  

For my project in this months tutorial bundle I created a fun fold card.  So, for my alternative project for this month's hop I created a different fun fold card.  

Creative Stampers November Blog Hop - Christmas/Holiday

 

Christmas and the Holiday Season is upon us, after along hard day here in the States having an election yesterday, and everything going on in the World we can still enjoy the Holidays but they just may be a little different this year.  But, with a little planning and help you can still share the joy of the season with some handmade projects.  

Each month the Creative Stampers (a group of talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators across the US, Canada, and the UK create a project and tutorial each month that's combined into a tutorial bundle that we share with our customers free with an any size order, our team members as a perk for being on our team and to anyone else that would like to purchase it.  During the blog hop we share a sneak peek of our project from the tutorial bundle as well as more inspiration using the products that we used that month.  

Creative Stampers October Blog Hop - Coming Home

 Hello and welcome to this months Creative Stampers Blog Hop.  This month we are featuring the Trimming the Town Suite in from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.  This is a cute little suite and when you  purchase of the Coming Home Stamp Set or the Coming Home Bundle Stampin' Up! is donating a portion of the sales to charity.  Here's a look at my alternative card for my October 2020 Creative Stampers Tutorial Project.  

I created a card today using the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (which by the way is currently part of the October Designer Series Paper Sale going on now!  Click here for details.) I wanted to showcase just how easy this designer series paper is to create cards with.  So, my card has no stamping whatsoever.  I know right! Everything that you see on my card today came from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper except I did use a few of the Trimming the Town embellishments.  

I started out by cutting my card base (Thick Whisper White) to 4 1/4" x 11" and scored it at 5 1/2".  I folded it in half and then cut two mats from Misty Moonlight Cardstock.  One 4" x 5 1/4" and one that was 3 1/4" x 4 1/4".  I cut the designer series paper to 3 3/4" x 5" and 3" x 4".  My little sentiment strips come from the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper also I just found the sentiment strips that I wanted from one of the sheets and cut them out and attached them to the card front.  

I can see how some people may be intimidated by this pack of DSP and may not think to use it.  But it actually is quite versatile.  You have a couple sheets that you can create scene cards with, and some that are just patterns.  I used both on my card today.  When I started cutting my paper this image with the church just spoke to me.  So, I wanted to showcase it on my card today.  Each month the Creative Stampers Tutorial Bundle Group creates a set of tutorials around a suite of products, stamp set, Bundle or theme that we give away to our customers that make any size purchase each month.  We also sale the tutorial bundle for $22.00 US to anyone that would like to purchase it.  

Thanks for dropping by today and hopping along with us for this month's blog hop.  Below you will find the blog roll with all the hoppers.  You will also find the Stampin' Up! Shopping list below that if you need any of the products you have seen today.  I highly suggest you grab a pack or two of this designer series paper while it's on sale and other products from the Trimming the Town Suite.   The Trimming the Town Suite captures the feel of a Hometown Christmas with it's whimsical imagery and coordinating trimmings. Customize a scene; it's easy to make each one unique. Here's a sneak peek of my project in this month's tutorial bundle, I can not show you the actual project but I can give you a little peek at what I created.
