Falling For Fall Team Blog Hop August 2020



Hello!
My name is Mary Bush and I would like to welcome you to my blog!  Today, I am hopping along with my Team as we celebrate Fall - my most favorite season of all!  

Being a native New Englander, Fall brings back memories of cooler temps, the buzzing of bees (ouch! lol), leaves crunching under foot, that way the sunlight gets in the fall, burning fires, sweaters and fleece jackets, falling acorns ( look out below! ), and those blazing colors!  

My card is bringing out the golden yellows and dark purples I used to see in the Maple Trees we had in our front yard.  

I just love the Plaid Tidings DSP!  It's perfect for every season!  Stampin' Up! sure did design a winner with this one!  I will be grabbing a pack with every order I place so I never run out - LOL.

I have paired it with the So Sentimental Bundle, from the Annual Catalog, to create my Thank You card.  This card is part of a 3-card set based on my latest One Sheet Wonder - coming out soon.  Be sure to Follow Me, Click to Subscribe to my Newsletter, and/or Follow Me on Facebook so you don't miss it!  

I hope you enjoy my card!  If you should like to create it for yourself, I have all of the supplies, with links, posted for you below. Love the Designer Series Paper I used?  Join my Holiday Mini Paper Share! Details and a sign-up form can be found here: https://forms.gle/hBX8FJr3D9YERbQSA

If you live in the U.S., and do not have a Demonstrator already, I would  be honored to be yours*.  I'd be equally honored if you choose to join my Team - either for the discount or turn your hobby into a fun and rewarding business*.  
*Add the So Sentimental Bundle, and other products used to create this card, to your Starter Kit, when you join me as a Demonstrator (for the discount or for some extra income) 
Or
*Order them when you join my Savvy Stampers Host Club.
It's the final days to register for my Home For The Birds/Birdhouse Class to go!  All of the details may be found here: https://stampininthesand.blogspot.com/p/home-for-birds-birdhouse-class-to-go.html

Now it's time to hop along and see some more projects from the team!  Be sure to leave comments on our blogs - and use the hashtag #stampitcontest to be entered to win our Prize!

Congratulations to last month's winner!

July Paper Pumpkin Alternative Card With Sweetest Time Stamp Set


I knew I wanted the Sweetest Time stamp set for the Candles the minute I saw it in the catalog.
I knew I wanted to put a candle in a jar from the July Paper Pumpkin Kit the minute I saw the candles in the catalog.  LOL.

This card came out perfect!  I love it!

I plan to add a little tag to the ribbon when I decide to whom/for what occasion I will be using it for.  I have stamped a bunch of Candles in Cherry Cobbler to turn some jars into Christmas Cards as well. I ended up with 3 complete kits in July so I have lots of jars to play with.  I also have a project I'm working on using the candles and the Jar Punch.  So stay tuned for that ;)

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop August 2020



Hello!
My Name is Mary Bush and I am a Stampin' Up!® Independent Demonstrator from South Carolina, USA.  Thank You so much for stopping by and Welcome to my Blog!

My card features new products from the Holiday/Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog as well as the fabulous Arrange A Wreath Bundle from the Annual Catalog.  It's been so HOT this summer and, with Covid, we haven't been able to travel and do the things we usually do.  It's been one day after the other cooped up inside the house.  I'm ready for Fall!  So I brought Fall to me in my card :)



This card uses a sketch from my Sentimental Flowers For Every Season Class To Go.  You can find all of the details for my Class To Go here: https://youtu.be/JvDCxbM4-BY
or on the registration form, here: https://bit.ly/2C5IaIX

Today's project shows how versatile the class sketch is.  It works with any Designer Series Paper you have.  I love the foil elements in this new Gilded Autumn paper.  My wreath tones-down the "busy" foiled center panel, pulls-in the gold, and all of the additional colors from the patterns, while adding texture without being bulky. 

Here are a couple of other samples showing what you can create with the contents of my Class To Go:



I have the complete supply list, for my Fall Wreath Card, below.  For the Sketch, and full step-by-step directions, purchase my Class To Go or the PDF Class Tutorial by filling out my form here https://bit.ly/2C5IaIX
