Merry Patterns - a BONUS blog hop from the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!

Hello friends - welcome to a very special Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop!  You're currently visiting me, Shannon, in Calgary, Alberta Canada.  My artisan friends and I are very excited to be launching a brand new exclusive stamp set today... and it's a beauty! 

Say hello to Merry Patterns!  


This gorgeous stamp set is not just festive, it's FREE!  Wait, whaaaat?!  Yeah!  But before we get to that, let's have a peek at a fun card I created with it.  


I was instantly drawn to the deer in a printed sweater, and I knew I had to make him my focal point!  The snowflakes on his sweater coordinated nicely with the background paper, found in the Christmas Around The World DSP, coming up in the brand new Stampin' Up! Holiday 2017 Catalogue, being released TOMORROW!


For a limited time, get the Merry Patterns Stamp Set FREE when you host a party with $300 USD/$375 CAD in sales. You’ll receive this exclusive holiday stamp set in addition to the fabulous Stampin’ Rewards you’ll earn when you host a qualifying Stampin’ Up! party. This offer ends on October 31, so don’t wait.  I'm booking private parties and classes for the Fall, so give me a shout to be the first of your friends to receive this gorgeous set!  Not the partying kind?  Make your list, check it twice... and then turn that order into your own personal party!  I won't tell... you can even tuck it away and surprise yourself at Christmas.  :) 

And since we're all in the holiday spirit now, I really ought to mention that the full Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Holiday Catalogue will be available on September 1st.  That's TOMORROW!  I've been playing with some gorgeous new supplies already and trust me, you're going to LOVE what's coming!  Want some FREE holiday goodies?


Yeah - I said free!  This month's ordering bonus is a GREAT ONE!  This bonus is for August only - so today is the VERY LAST DAY! - and only through my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store!  Read on...

Holiday Catalogue shipped on September 1st!  Don't miss out on this awesome bonus!  Valid August 1-31 in Canada only.

I'm also busy this week whipping up a video tutorial for this beauty of a card, which will be featured on the blog soon - but this tutorial is an exclusive freebie for my newsletter subscribers!  Want to have it delivered to your inbox?  Check it out...


Now that all of that fun stuff is out of the way, let's hop over to my lovely friend Sylwia in Germany to see what masterpiece she has created for us.  I love how Sylwia's projects are so calm and serene.

If Life Gives You Lemons... - Lemon Zest

Hello friends - happy Wednesday!  This week is craaaaawling... anyone else finding that?  I'm busying myself with lots of crafting but next week can't come soon enough - my kiddo is back to school and I can have a few hours of sanity again!

When he was little, I swore I would never be that mom who wished school would start again... but as every parent knows, we're all holier than thou until we actually have our own kids!!  Parenting is humbling, my friends.  It really is.

Meanwhile, in my craftroom... I borrowed Lemon Zest from a friend and now I can't wait until mine arrives!  I started off by replicating a card I had made a while ago with a similar stamp set we used to have, called Apple Of My Eye.  Sometimes replicating an old design is an easy way to break the ice!  I love how this card turned out with the fresh colour combination of Lemon Lime Twist and Flirty Flamingo.


And then I whipped up another, using So Saffron (when was the last time I used So Saffron?!), Lemon Lime Twist, and Berry Burst.  I love the coordinating Lemon Builder Punch - it makes these cards so dang easy!


But the best part of this stamp set?  Coordinating inside sentiments!  I love that this version is sassy.  In case making lemonade isn't really your thing!  Hahaha.


This stamp set and coordinating punch are available 24/7 in my online store from the Annual Catalogue, but guess what? 

Have you heard?  The full Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Holiday Catalogue will be available on September 1st; I've seen it (and ordered from it!) already and trust me, you're going to LOVE it!  Want some FREE holiday goodies?


Yeah - I said free!  This month's ordering bonus is a GREAT ONE!  This bonus is for August only, and only through my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! Store!  Read on...

That card was so much fun to make and I can't wait to share all of it with you!

Thanks so much for stopping in today - I'll see you again tomorrow as the Artisan Design Team launches a brand new stamp set.  You won't want to miss it!

Cheers,
Shannon

Tiny Teepee - Little One

Hello friends!

How's your day going?  It's been a tough couple of weeks in our house with a kiddo who won't sleep or stay in his own bed - I'm exhausted and it's all catching up with me, especially as back-to-school lingers just days away!  If any seasoned mommas have tips, I'm all ears...

In the meantime, I chose this card to share today because it reminds me of when they're young and sweet and don't talk back yet!  


This card was made by request for a customer attending a baby shower.  She regularly buys cards from me - and I love my regulars, because they usually just tell me to "make whatever you'd like!"  I love that they trust my vision and they're always so grateful.  It warms my heart.

This adorable teepee is from Little One, one of the beautiful sets in the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.  I love the modern and crisp fonts and the beautiful teepee.


I'm still loving the brand new sets from the annual catalogue, like this one, and hoping they don't fall by the wayside in a few days...

Have you heard?  The full Stampin' Up! 2017-2018 Holiday Catalogue will be available on September 1st; I've seen it (and ordered from it!) already and trust me, you're going to LOVE it!  Want some FREE holiday goodies?
