Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - World Card Making Day Fun October 2024

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome to our World Card Making Day Blog Hop! 

But first, let me apologize for the past year when I haven't blogged at all. I was concentrating on my Facebook business page and didn't make room in my schedule to blog. While I may not blog weekly, I'm back and plan on blogging this year.

World Card Making Day is a fun day to begin again! We are a group of card makers from around the world and hope you find inspiration from our creations.

My project is actually the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin. This is a subscription through Stampin' Up!® with everything you need to make the cards or project in the box except a block which subscribers receive in their first PP (Paper Pumpkin) box.

I needed a quick project to take to a friend's house, we meet once a month to work on crafts and bring whatever we are working on cards, knitting, crochet, needlework, hand quilting...my group of friends have many interests!

I grabbed my kit knowing I would make the first 3 cards according to the directions provided in the kit.

The card designs are cute and I enjoyed creating them, but this cardstock is so beautiful I wanted to see how I could use it to make more cards. I pulled in Thick Basic White cardstock, Gorgeous Grape ink pad, Wink of Stella (what project is complete without Wink of Stella?), embellishments and then went to Rachel Tessman's video to see what she created with this kit. Wow - she got almost 5 times the number of cards. 

I decided to use the next 3 cards using her designs. (Hint, she cut up the 3 envelopes and used the liner to make cards and the white part of the envelope for sentiments.)

I had three cards remaining, I decided to make a bit of a stepped up option with these three so added a mat layer and used my Modern Oval Punch for some of my sentiments. 

A look at all the cards spread out on my dining room table. Wow! Happy Mail just waiting to be sent. 

I hope you enjoy all the stops on our hop!

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! I hope you find ideas and creative inspiration as you visit all of the blogs. We are a group of Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up!® business and reach goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog - either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea. We really appreciate your support.

Our theme is Thank You. How many times we need to show our appreciation to family, friends, and customers. Thank you cards are also great for gifts - a few tied together with a pretty ribbon make a beautiful gift. How nice it is to have a supply on hand. This month my customer thank you card will be these made from the beautiful May 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Exploring In Color. This kit has 9 cards with the most beautiful outdoor designs.

The cards are scenic and printed on both the front and back. I chose to cut these in half, used the 2023-2025 In Colors cardstock (Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path, and Wild Wheat) to create the additional 9 bases. I also purchased the add on kit to add another 18 cards for a total of 36 cards.

I used three stamp sets: Artistically Inked for the sentiment Thanks because I rally like the font, Autumn Leaves Dies, So Sincere for the inside sentiment, and the Paper Pumpkin Kit Stamps for additional images. Autumn Leaves and So Sincere will be available when this blog hop goes live.

Supplies are listed below, but here is a photo of everything - some assembly done and everything else ready to go! I think this is the first time I used all the bits and pieces in a kit. I needed to cut some Moody Mauve cardstock for the flags under the sentiments on additional cards.

I hope you are enjoying our blog hop and find inspiration for your card making.

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Sale-a-bration Favorites

Thank you for joining us for our Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  I hope you find ideas and creative inspiration as you visit all of the blogs. 

This month we are featuring our Favorite Sale-a-bration products in the January - February 2023 Sale-a-Bration promotion.

I love the Dainty Delight Designer Series Paper, Sale-a-bration paper is free with purchase, although this coordinates with the Dainty Delights Stamp Set on page 55 of the January - April 2023 Mini Catalog, I chose to use the Sale-a-bration Sending Support Stamp Set for my sentiment. 

Everyone needs encouragement and support and this stamp set has sentiments that touch my heart. I have a dear friend on Hospice and the sentiments seemed perfect. 

The sentiment is heat embossed using white embossing powder on Blackberry Bliss card stock. There are also sentiments for the inside of the card.

I hope you are finding lots of FREE products to inspire you.
