IDEAS Blog Hop - April 2026 - Fun Fold

Wednesday, 1 April 2026

Welcome to our April IDEAS Tutorial Blog Hop! This month our theme is "Stunning Scraps". Our global team is from Australia, Europe, Canada and the United States. Join me to hop to each designers' blog for sneak peeks of our projects. The collage below has a tiny peek of each designers' project!

Our Tutorial has 13 demonstrator designers with over 26+ projects from various countries around the world. The April 2026 IDEAS Tutorial Bundle has detailed instructions, colour photography, and tips.

Here is a sneak peek of my project in the tutorial. This is a Flip Flap Shaker Card featuring the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle and products from the Lovely & Beautiful Suite from Stampin' Up!®.

My project is exclusive to the Tutorial Bundle, so if you want to see it, you have to get your hands on the tutorial.

I have three options for you to get the tutorial:

Place an order via my online store for $45 CDN (before shipping and taxes) using this month's host code. Make sure you allow Stampin' Up! to share your contact details so that I can email the tutorial to you. If your order is over $200 CDN, don't use the Host Code or you will miss out on the Stampin' Rewards. I'll still send you the PDF
Join my Ink and Papers Stampers Team and you'll get the IDEAS Tutorial for free. Definitely a reason to take advantage of the great join offer!
Buy the tutorial for $20 CDN via my Square Store
