Third Thursdays Blog Hop - A few of my NEW Favorite Things!

Welcome once again to our Third Thursdays Blog Hop! This month our theme for the hop is A few my NEW Favorite Things! Our posts will feature projects with product from the NEW Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog! My projects feature the Color & Contour BUNDLE - even though I'm not a "flower person" I really like the artwork in this set.
{you'll find Product Purchase Links for current items I've used, below the Blog Roll}

I've been trying to work through some hard days again - I wanted to help a friend with a birthday party last weekend, and ended up really hurting myself. Having fibromyalgia is sometimes like being trapped in your body. I have great ideas and know mentally how to carry them out, but my body just doesn't want to give me the energy and strength I need. Makes me want to scream sometimes. But all I can do is get dosed up with pain meds and lie around for several days until I recover.

Given that, I didn't have the opportunity to get more pictures done for this post. So, I figured I'd share a couple of the pretty pictures of samples using the Color & Contour BUNDLE, from the new catalog.

Stampin' Supplies: (just for my two samples) Color & Contour BUNDLE (stamp set + Scalloped Contours Dies), Basic White Cardstock, Pale Papaya Ink Pad (for centers of flowers), Polished Pink Ink Pad/Cardstock/Open Weave Ribbon, Fresh Freesia Ink Pad/Cardstock/Open Weave Ribbon, 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper and In Color Jewels, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Grid Paper, Bone Folder, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss or Standard Stampin' Cut & Emboss (to use with dies).

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Brand NEW!

Welcome to the MAY 2021 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Brand NEW, in honor of the Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that just debuted on May 4th. I am honoring our NEW 2021-2023 In Colors, as well as a NEW stamp set called Color & Contour, with my projects. {you'll find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

This stamp set also is also included in the Color & Contour BUNDLE (stamp set + Scalloped Contours dies), but these 3 projects are intended for what we call Casual Creators...who don't necessarily own dies or a die-cutting machine!

The projects are what I would consider a "Workshop" or what is sometimes referred to as a Party, or a Demonstration. I will be creating these projects on video for you later, but the only way to get the FREE PDF Workshop Tutorial (with all the dimensions and supplies annotated individually for each project) is to make a retail purchase of any amount with me this month or JOIN MY TEAM*! YES, the Clearance Rack counts as a retail purchase! YES, a Paper Pumpkin Subscription also counts!!!
*My team receives Tutorial PDFs like this from me for training/resources each month.

The first two projects are pretty simple cards, and the last one is also simple - an oldie but goodie, the Bagalope! Seriously, this is one of the first projects I ever made after I got my Starter Kit in 1994.

Stampin' Supplies: Color & Contour photopolymer stamp set, StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad, 2021-2023 In Color Ink Pad Asst, Blender Pens, Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends Combo Pack, 2021-2023 In Color Cardstock Asst, 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper Pack, Basic White Cardstock, Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, Basic White Medium Envelopes, Pale Papaya Sheer Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, Detailed Trio Punch, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Grid Paper, Paper Trimmer (if you need to cut down your cardstock sheets), Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps). {see Product Purchase Links near the bottom of the post}
