Monday, 9 November 2020

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are keeping healthy and safe and are finding time to be creative! 

Today I'm participating in Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop.  I'm so excited to be part of this training program again this year and happy to be participating in this Blog Hop with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The purpose of the group is for the group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that are part of the program...to share ideas and to learn from each other...to help us in our Stampin' Up! Business. 

Today you will "hop around the world" and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.  I'm glad you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. You are currently visiting Melva Peters from British Columbia, Canada.  You can visit all of the other blogs using the links posted below.

The theme is THANK YOU and I'm sharing the exclusive thank you card that you will receive if you place an order with me from now until December 10th! My card uses the the Quite Curvy Bundle that you can order now!  I absolutely love this bundle - it's so much fun to make cards with curves!

This is a quick and easy card that you can make to give to your friends and family.  There are lots of amazing sentiments to use!

Instructions

1. Cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and fold in half to form card base.
2. Cut Whisper White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
3. Using the curvy edge die, cut approximately 1 1/2" from the top (landscape orientation) with the detail above the cut line.
4. Repeat this step by cutting approximately 1 1/2" from the bottom with the detail above the cut line. 
5. This gives you 2 pieces to adhere to the card base using Stampin' Seal.  Leave approximately 1 1/4" between the pieces
6. From the North Pole dies, cut a zig zag circle tag from Whisper White cardstock.
7. Stamp the sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink.
8. Cut about 6" of twine and tie through the hole of the tag.
9. Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
10. Stamp the curvy sentiment on the cardbase using Misty Moonlight ink.
11. Adhere In Colour Dots.

I made cards using all of the 2020-2022 In Colours.  Aren't the fun!

Blogging Friends Blog Hop - Anything But a Card

Blogging Friends Blog Hop - Anything But a Card

Friday, 6 November 2020

Welcome to the Blogging Friends Blog Hop.  This month's theme is "Anything But A Card" and I decided to Heartwarming Hugs Product Suite along with the Rectangle Tins from the Stampin' Up! August to December Mini Catalogue.  Today you will "hop" with us and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.

You are currently visiting Melva Peters from British Columbia, Canada. 

I created a Mini Album in a Rectangle Tin for my project.  I think this would make a great memory of the holiday season or a great gift.  I hope you like it.

Instructions

1. Cut Whisper White Cardstock 11 7/8" x 3 3/4"
2. Score at 2 3/8", 4 3/4", 7 1/8" and 9 1/2"
3. Fold accordion style and use bone folder to burnish creases.
4. Use the Trio punch to round corners - you can fold on the score lines and punch out 2 edges at once.  Repeat until all corners have been rounded.

6. Cut Whisper White cardstock 2 1/4" x 2".  Round corners.
7. Adhere to panels without Designer Series Paper.  See tip in video on how to apply Stampin' Seal using your Silicone Mat.  You only want a sliver of the Stampin' Seal on the cardstock and then double over.
8. Decorate Whisper White pockets using Real Red Ink and Old Olive Ink.
9. Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" and round corners.
10. Cut Whisper White cardstock 2 3/8" x 2" and round corners.

12. Adhere to the inside of the Rectangle Tin using Stampin' Seal.
13. Adhere the other piece of Designer Series Paper to the back of the Rectangle Tin.
14. Cut Real Red cardstock 2 1/2" x 3 7/8" and round corners
15. Cut Designer Series Paper 2 3/8" x 3 3/4" and round corners.  Adhere to the Real Red cardstock.
