Creativity Abounds August Blog Hop
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.
I love the fall season and look forward every year to hosting my big family Thanksgiving celebration. It’s bigger every other year when all the married cousins and my married kids (Sean & Amy) can be here too. As I prepare for Thanksgiving, I start by figuring out what my Thanksgiving invitation will be. I do send invitations to everyone in the mail every year. I think they look forward to it, at least I hope so. Here’s one of my possibilities for this year. What do you think?
Here’s the side view. The card does stand up on a desk and folds flat to mail in a regular A2 invitation size envelope.
Here’s the measurements to make this fun fold card
- 4-1/4″ x 10″ Cajun Craze scored at 5-1/2″, 6-1/2″, 8-1/2″, 9-1/2″
- 4″ x 5-1/4″ Celebrate Everything DSP-stripes
- 3″ x 4″ Cajun Craze
- 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ Crushed Curry-embossed with Leaf Fall embossing folder
You can purchase supplies and see everything I used to make this card at the bottom of the post.
Do you need some ideas for your Fall/Thanksgiving cards? Our Creativity Abounds group makes a tutorial bundle each month. This month we used sets from the Fall Mini catalog, anything but Christmas.
Here’s the inside of my card that’s in the tutorial bundle. If you want to know how to make it, you can order $50 from my online store using my host code and get it free or purchase the tutorial bundle for $15 below. If you join my Stamping Mom’s Joy Team you’ll get all my tutorial bundles free of charge.
