It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we're sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today.
I shared a pretty card in my last post featuring the Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle in Pool Party. Here's a moodier card in Night of Navy, Very Vanilla and Gold. I love thee snowflakes that are part of this bundle that cut out the backgrounds - you can pop parts of the die cuts out and see peekaboos of colour behind! So effective!
Time for another Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop. This month we are sharing "Christmas in July" projects. My card features the Stampin' Up! Joyful Flurry Bundle.
I've been having fun playing with the Botanical Layers Stamp Set. I shared a card a couple of days ago and now here's another one. Today's card features Embossed Resist Technique and is so pretty in Parakeet Party and Evening Evergreen.
I’m so excited to be featured in the the International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing #3 in the July 2022 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my Diamond Fold Card.

I've been playing a lot with the Joyful Flurry bundle from the Stampin' Up! July to December Mini Catalogue as I was excited to share this during my recent Launch Party. I love snowflakes - especially when they are on cards and not falling from the sky! The snowflakes in this bundle are so pretty and it includes some but out shapes as backgrounds that you can make 3D! So pretty with a contrasting colour behind.
Time for another Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Christmas in July. For my card, I've used the Stampin' Up!® Storybook Gnomes from the catalogue.
