Monthly Team Blog Hop (August 2020)

                                            

Welcome to the August Blog Hop!

My husband and I usually mail out 100 handmade Holiday cards every year with a letter and photo collage of our annual activities inside the card. I love making my own cards, but after making about 20 of any design I get bored and need to create a new card design.  My goal this year is to make at least 5 to 6 designs ahead of time instead of  designing and making all the cards between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

Each month, I will use a different Stampin' Up! bundle to create a set of holiday cards to be mailed to family and friends. Which Stampin' Up! Bundle should I use next? Please let me know in the comments section below.

Last month, I shared my first Holiday card design in the July Monthly Team Blog Hop using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle and the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (click here).

Many people on our Holiday list just love observing animals and being out in the woods to enjoy nature. I designed this Holiday card especially for them using the Merry Moose Bundle and Poinsettia Place designer series paper. I just love the scarf stamp that is included in the bundle!

I'm preparing card kits and tutorials for the Poinsettia Petal Bundle and the Merry Moose Bundle.  Each card kit consists of all the materials for making 4 cards and step by step pdf instructions for making the cards as well as an interactive on-line zoom call for us to all make cards together. If you already have the materials and bundle, you can order just the tutorial. If you're interested in more information please email me at ses@aquarius.family 

I've been having an awesome time playing with some of the new holiday bundles, stamp sets, dies, and designer series paper from the new Stampin' Up! August to December 2020 Mini Catalog. If you want a new catalog, live in the USA, and don't already have a demonstrator just contact me at ses@aquarius.family and I'll mail it out to you.
