Share What You Love Artisan Blog Hop #2

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity on 05/01/18

Happy May! Stampin’up! is the best by launching an Early Release Offer to all customers.  Today marks the day that you can order products from the Share What You Love Suite that is part of the 2018-2019 catalogue.  You can get your hands on the new in colours too:)

The 2018 Artisan Design Team  created a variety of Share What You Love samples for you for a second time around to provide you with ideas to meet all of your crafting needs.    You may have just arrived here from my sweet friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia.  I adore her projects from the Gotta Have It All Bundle!

Today, I’ll be featuring projects from the Just Getting Started Bundle.  Let me tell you, I was pretty impressed by this bundle… Simplicity can be an amazing feature for your creativity.  The combination of GrapeFruit Grove and Old Olive is adorable.  I love when everything coordinates and this bundle was perfect for my goal.

I used the products that were included in the kit only.  It made me think “outside the box”.  Here are a couple of techniques that I used to create with the Just Getting Started Bundle:

  • Off stamping
  • Fussy Cutting
  • Faux Ribbon
  • Layered Stamping
  • Stamp and Cut Technique

Simple cards made with Very Vanilla Cardstock brings warmth to this bundle.

Along with the 5 cards, I created a coordinating card box to store my cards and envelops.  I used one of the background stamp to add ink to a strip of cardstock and created a faux ribbon for the tag that embellishes my box cover.  This makes the perfect hostess gift.

There are 3 different bundles offered with the Early Release, they are all truly amazing:

 Just Getting Started Bundle: (includes One Free Item) *** Bundle that I used today for my samples
