Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop - Peaceful Deer Sneak Peek!

It's time for another Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop - a perfect way to share our ideas with you and members of our Stampin' Up! family too!!

Our theme this month is "Christmas in July" and I'm so happy to show you one of the new bundles that will be available starting August 3rd in the new Mini Catalogue release on that date! 

The Peaceful Deer Bundle is a stamp set and punch that work together to make cards and layouts easy for you . . . and a super bonus is there is also coordinating Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE in the new Sale-a-Bration flyer starting the same day and good to September 30th!! 

Here's my card today - I got the idea from the Sale-A-Bration flyer where the concept artists featured a tag, but I turned it into a full size card for you! The deer on the right was punched from the SAB paper (how easy is that??), and the one on the left was fussy cut as I really wasn't sure how to get it punched from the back side of the paper LOL! I distressed the top piece of Designer Series Paper and inked the edges with Crumb Cake and my Blending Brushes.

The trees were stamped right on the DSP in Garden Green ink and I used some ribbon coming August 3rd in the Mini called Cherry Cobbler and Gold Metallic Ribbon, tied with a bit of Linen Thread. 

I stamped more trees on the Crumb Cake card base, and die cut the tag from the Tailor Made Tags Dies in Cherry Cobbler. 

If you have ordered from me this past year, then  you should get the Holiday Mini and Sale-A-Bration flyer in the mail very soon (if you don't already have it) - the cover image is above - and you can start ordering August 3rd!!  Buying the Perfect Deer Bundle, plus the ribbon and any other product you need to stock up on will earn you the FREE Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper so start making your wish list now!

Our Designer Series Paper Sale is still going strong until August 2nd so gather your friends, share a few packs and you'll have lots of papers to get you through the next while with cards and layout backgrounds!

A Colour Challenge Today Features Picture This Dies!

Good Morning to my Stamping Friends! Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop!

Todays' colour challenge  really had me going through all my Designers Series Papers to find some that had Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and/or Melon Mambo . . .  and did you know there are NONE with Bermuda Bay in the current catalogue (unless you go for the Brights 6" x 6" pack)??  And then my eye landed on the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and bingo! I had two of the three Yay!! 

Here's my card using the Rainbow Glimmer Paper peaking behind a Basic White layer die cut from the Picture This Dies -  I really like these dies for different effects, and they make a great template to use with your Blending Brushes too! The circles and rectangles that are cut out are perfect for using with greetings on your cards or can be saved for adding layers to another card idea . . . .

I added some punched flowers and leaves from the Flowers of Friendship bundle - really love when we can get stamps and punches together, don't you?? For the flowers I used Basic White cardstock stamped in Melon Mambo, Melon Mambo cardstock and Granny Apple Green cardstock for the leaves. The bling came from the Holiday Rhinestone Jewels - I used the Coastal Cabana ones. The card base is a standard size using Melon Mambo. Stamp a floral edge on your envelopes and you have a fun card to send to a friend on their special day!

Thanks for visiting me today on the blog hop. If you need any of the products shown here, simply click here and you can shop directly from my store to your home, or message me to help you with your supplies any time!
