ICS Blog Hop Sentimental Framing Bundle

 

Welcome to our August Inspire, Create, Share blog hop! We are presenting projects that feature our favorite bundles and I am so excited to see what everyone has selected to share!

I have really enjoyed the Sentimental Framing bundle from our Online Store in the Online Exclusive products.  It has so many wonderful sentiments and I love when there is a variety of fonts!


I chose the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper for my project.   I mixed and matched the layers of die cuts to create this fun fold card.  I did find this design idea on Pinterest and sadly could not find the original creator's name today. But I also changed it up a bit!


I got help from my friend Victoria to customize some layers with her digital cutting machine. The large background Strawberry Slush layer for the front sentiment was a customized size and shape to compliment the white frame die cut. I wanted the backside to be a smooth solid surface and stabilize the other layers.


I loved making this card and the color combo of Strawberry Slush with Timid Tiger was an unexpected winner!  I taught this exact card at my Summer 2025 Creative Escape crafting retreat. I hope you are inspired to order the Sentimental Framing bundle and start creating!

Alaska is Calling Janey


Stampin' Up! offers one incentive trip every year for Independent Demonstrators to work towards. It requires a lot of planning, diligence, long hours, and sacrifice which is why less than 1% of Demonstrators earn the Incentive Trip each year.  It is not won by chance, lottery, or luck.  It is earned often through ink, sweat, and tears to offer classes, retreats, clever designs, tips, tutorials and a pure desire to serve and inspire your creativity bliss and help you connect to other like-minded crafters.  Your joy to create and connect fills my heart! 

I have earned five of the past six Incentive Trips because of my loyal customers and team.   This trip allows myself and my husband an opportunity to travel that is not typical in our life. We are so grateful!  It feels quite vulnerable to ask for help but I cannot do this without each of you.  I plan to offer some fun promotions to show my gratitude and support your crafting, so keep watching for my posts and emails.  Thank you for reading so far!

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop July: Sweeter with You

 

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities blog hop where we explore all sorts of possible alternative design ideas for the kit each month.  Sweeter with You kit is shown below with the planned designs:


July: Sweeter with You
Subscribe June 11–July 10
Craft sweet handmade cards featuring sun-kissed strawberries and breezy gingham.

I opened up my Circle of Seaon Add-on dies and the stamp set from the kit. I chose the same Garden Green Stampin' Pad color that is used in the kit.   I stamped a staggered background on the card base front.  
 

I grabbed Poppy Parade and Garden Green card stock scraps and die cut the strawberry layers.   I used our Foam Adhesive Sheet on Poppy Parade card stock for die cutting the word. I am really happy with the pop effect and the white peeking out. Yes, I used my Wink of Stella glitter brush pen on the strawberries and they are so sparkly!


Of course I had to stamp strawberries so the interior layer for the greeting is Poppy Parade Stampin' Pad for the berries and Garden Green Stampin' Pad for the leaves - so CUTE!


I hope you like my cute and simple card design. The paper components in this kit are so cute and I am eager to make more ideas.  I could stamp and make strawberry cards all night long, this kit is so cute!
