Crane of Fortune Fun Fold

Welcome to our monthly Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you.  We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.

You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed – so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin’ Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin’ Up!® teams.

Have you joined our Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp? I’ll be showing the Stamp Camp participants how to make this card on a Live video on April 30th. To get the directions and measurements you will need to join our Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp. There will be 12 Live videos by demos from all over the world, along with the 12 additional prerecorded videos and written tutorials for a total of 24 different projects!

Here’s another fun fold I made using the Symbols of Fortune Suite. Here’s the blog post and video showing how to make this card.

On Thursday, April 21st you can get free shipping for orders $75 or more. Don’t miss this chance to save some money and stock up on all the cardstock colors you may be running low on. It’s also a great time to get the Symbols of Fortune Suite and save almost $10.

Please see all the beautiful creations in the blog hop below.

It’s such an honor to be hopping with the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip Achievers again this month! The money I received in lieu of the cancelled Incentive Trip, will be used for an 18 day campervan adventure through Canada and Alaska on May 11-30th. We will be horseback riding in Calgary near where they filmed the show, Heartland. We are hiking, salmon fishing, going on a whale watching cruise, and a grizzly bear excursion. Steve and I will be filming and blogging about our adventures. Please subscribe to my blog if you’d like to follow us.

The claims published here are not representative of typical Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. The level of sales to achieve this result requires significant work and is accomplished by a substantially small percentage of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.”

I love making fun fold cards! If you’d like the measurements and directions for this card, please watch the replay of our live video here. You can fast forward to the 5 minute mark and see the card making. My husband, Steve, joins me for our weekly live videos on Tuesdays at 7pm Central. He likes to tell stories and answer questions.

I made this card as a wedding card, because on Steve’s side of the family, 4 of the 13 grandchildren are getting married this summer. We had a fun family wedding shower for the 4 couples a week ago. It was great to see everyone and hear about their upcoming weddings.

Here’s the 4 McCullough couples getting married this year. Our son, Sean, and his bride, Amy are on the far left.

Tuesday April 19th is deadline to sign up for our next Stamp Camp that will be on April 29 and 30th. When you sign up, you’ll receive a card kit to make 12 projects with written and video directions.  You’ll also get a weekend of fun and 12 more live videos with 12 different projects for a total of 24 projects all using the Symbols of Fortune Suite. There will be fun folds, boxes, techniques and more.  Everything is recorded so if you can’t make it that weekend, you can watch the videos on a different day. Demos and customers alike love our quarterly Creativity Abounds Stamp Camps. Here’s what some of the participants had to say:

Linda D said, “I thoroughly enjoyed my first Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp! I loved the global perspective of demonstrators around the world, the projects in both the make and takes and those demonstrated in the lives. The schedule of having a live video every 2 hours and the tips every demonstrator shared while stamping. Although the Symbols of Fortune Suite was not on my radar, I will be ordering because the event was so awesome and I am sure the projects will be amazing!

Linda L said, “I love that I can catch the live videos, but also can go back even months later and watch any of them, especially the ones I missed. There is no pressure to be at the computer on time or it’s gone. I really enjoy making all the projects and all the tips from demos from all over the world. It’s fun to grab a friend and do the stamp camp together. If you already own the suite collection, you can order a similar amount and still get the card kit and stamp camp free.”

Here’s how to sign up for the Stamp Camp-If you purchase the Symbols of Fortune Suite Collection from me for $82.75 (on pages 22-24 of the Spring Mini Catalog), you’ll get everything for the Stamp Camp for FREE!  You’ll need the entire Suite Collection to make all the projects.  If you’ve already purchased that collection or would rather have a different bundle, you can spend $82.75 in my online store on anything you want, and still get the Stamp Camp free of charge.  You will need to get the ribbon, Polished Dots, Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper and Symbols of Fortune DSP to make the projects.
