Stamp ‘N Hop: August 2020 – Favorite Bundle

Published on by Caroline Peck11 Comments

Hey Stampin’ friends, I’m so glad to be back with the Stamp ‘N Hop this month. Today we are sharing projects created with our personal Favorite Stampin’ Up! Bundle. A Bundle can be any stamp set and tool combo that is currently offered! If you are hopping along, you’ve come here from Rochelle Laird-Smith’s blog.

In the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog there are 34 bundles and in the brand new August – December 2020 Mini catalog there are 30 bundles! How can I possibly choose a favorite!?! I found it incredibly challenging to decide which stamp set and tool bundle I wanted to use for this months hop!

As you can see I finally narrowed down the list and use the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle on pg. 13 on the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog! There are so many bundles to choose from, I may have to do a monthly bundle feature…and even then I wont get through even half of the bundles!

I used both the solid image dies and the line image dies to create my main sunflower focal point! I cut the line image sunflower out in both Bumblebee and Early Espresso Cardstock. Then I trimmed around the Early Espresso center to make a larger brown center for my sunflowers. This card was a little fussy to put together, but I really love the way it came out!

If you don’t already have a demonstrator I would love to assist you with all of your Stampin’ Up! needs! Please feel free to use the links below to add items to your cart!

Stamp ‘N Hop: July 2020 – In Colors

Published on by Caroline Peck14 Comments

Hey Stampin’ Friends, it’s been a few months since I’ve been able to participate in the Stamp ‘N Hop! Welcome back! This month we are sharing projects created with Stampin’ Up! In Colors. If you are hopping along, you’ve come here from Kristie Wilson’s blog.

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Caroline and I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator here in the US. I hail from a small town in Michigan and I’m so excited to share my creations with you!

I’m in love with the new 2020-2022 In Colors! They are so bright, vibrant, and bold when put together, but they have their own personalities when they stand alone. The Flowers for Every Season Suite showcases the new In Colors perfectly. When I saw it in the catalog I knew I would need to use it for quick and easy thank you notes!

I used a card from the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack and one of the Misty Moonlight cards and envelopes from the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes to create this card. I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Misty Moonlight on Magenta Madness.

Then I took the twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack to accent my sentiment banner. I also used the Pumpkin Pie (I think they have more of a yellow hue than orange) rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels to add some sparkle.

CASE the Catalog: So Grateful

Published on by Caroline Peck

If you didn’t already know this, the catalogs that Stampin’ Up! releases 3 times a year are full of great ideas! In fact when I first started creating with Stampin’ Up! products the catalog was actually called an Idea Book. I always know I will find amazing inspiration with each publication at this year has proven no exception!

The card I’m sharing with you today is on page 1 of the catalog. That’s right we just barely made it inside the cover and I already found something that wow’d! This card features the Ornate Style Bundle and the Ornate Thanks stamp set.

I used Versamark ink and Gold embossing powder for my flower image (I didn’t yet have my In Color Inks when I created this card) and I just love how it turned out!

Thank you for checking out my creation today! Be sure to subscribe for instant updates when I post!

Colour Combo Blog Hop: March 2020

Published on by Caroline Peck9 Comments

Hi Everyone! I’m so happy to be able to participate in this monthly Colour Combo Block Hop! It helps me to see colors that I wouldn’t normally use working together.

To create the pattern on my stitched rectangles I used a baby wipe wrapped around a clear block. I dotted ink along the edge of baby wipe and brushed it over whisper white cardstock. Then I die cut and arranged them on my card front. I love this technique for when I can’t find DSP that coordinates with my project.

Colour Combo Blog Hop: January 2020

Published on by Caroline Peck3 Comments

Welcome to the first Colour Combo Blog Hop of the new year! Thank you so much for joining us this month. If you’ve come here from Sandra’s blog make sure you continue on the hop and leave love with each creator.

I’ve been trying to participate in as many challenges and blog hops as I can to help build traffic to my blog, but mostly to help me use my stash of supplies! I’ve always been a craft collector and more recently I’ve started to be more of a crafter!

I created this card using a brand new bundle from the 2020 January-June Mini Catalog called So Sentimental Bundle. The stamp set has a bunch of really great sentiments and the dies (called Stitched So Sweetly Dies) have the stitched scallop rectangles and the stitched labels. I know that I will be using this stamp set and these dies for so many cards!

Below is the list of all the items I used to create this card! If you click on one it will take you to my store. If you don’t already have a demonstrator in the US I would be delighted to help you.

Please continue on the blog hop by clicking the next button above. Don’t forget to leave a note of love for each crafter as you stop by.
