July's Sunday Sketch

Today's Sunday sketch is a little more literal than ones from the past. If you guessed the theme was Christmas in July and it uses the new Santa's Express Suite--you're right! This great suite offers a lot of potential whether you like to layer or colour. Stay tuned towards the end of the month, as usual!

June Projects--Exploring the New In-Colors Part 1

I admit I’m not sure what to do with the new In-Colours! Most demos had samples made up back at the beginning of May, but not me—I just didn’t know where to start. The past few years of In-Colours have been somewhat muted, so I suppose this year SU had to crank up the volume.

So far, however, I have two samples featuring Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. Combining the Sweet Sorbet DSPs—with a touch of Evening Evergreen on the middle stripe—contrasted nicely with the solid Parakeet Party cardstock.

And a nice big piece of Parakeet Party DSP added some cheer to a Very Vanilla base and die-cut layer.

Stay tuned--I’m sure by next post I’ll have tackled the three blue hues!

 

Tuesday Tip--Recycle That Wrap!

I started posting Tuesday Tips last year on Facebook, but in case you don't , you can still enjoy them every third Tuesday of the month.

Today's tip reads: Check your municipality's recycling guide for info on recycling bubble wrap that comes with SU orders or reuse it. In Calgary, bubble wrap can be bundled in a transparent stretchy plastic bag and tie handles closed. Bubble wrap must be bundled because loose sheets can fly off the conveyor line.

Until next time...

🚨🚨🚨 Woo Woo Deal Alert! 🚨🚨🚨

Deep breath--best pitchgal voice--"Hi! Christine here for Stampin' Up!!, your crafting specialist!"

I indulged in making a video channelling my inner Billy Mays because pictures just wouldn't work! If you're like me and you love saving money, check out the Craft and Carry Stamparatus bag in the Canadian Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack is on sale for 60% off! the original price of $39.

The catalogue picture doesn't do it justice because I use it for more than protecting my Stamparatus--it's perfect for on-the-go crafting or anytime you need the right-sized bag.

But wait--there's more! The catalogue doesn't show off all the fantastic pockets this little bag has. Check it out!


Until next time...
