Artisan Design Team Dashing Along Blog Hop

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity, Gift Making on 09/06/18

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  You may have just arrived here from my wonderful and talented friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia. I adore her festive cards for today’s Hop! The Artisan Design Team is taking you on a holiday blog hop featuring the Dashing Along Host Promotion. This promotion is here just on time as Stampin’up!’s holiday catalog is officially here.  To sweeten the deal for September’s hostesses, Stampin’up! has made it even more delightful with the exciting Dashing Along Host Promotion. If you host a party with $300 CAD in sales from September 1–30, you’ll earn FREE, exclusive Dashing Along Designer Series Paper. It is one of my favourite holiday DSP. It’s a mix of old favorites and new patterns to bring you beautiful, traditional Christmas paper. This collection of patterns has an eclectic feel and is perfect for layering, and while the newsprint design isn’t Christmas-themed, it is my go to for versatility and I have missed it from not being in the Annual Catalog. The DSP includes 12 sheets: 3 12×12 double-sided sheets (6 total designs); 4 sheets of each design.  I’ve used my package already and need more… The coordinating colors are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Whisper White.

Today, I’ll be sharing a couple of projects, from home decor, gift wrapping to our all time favourites, hand made cards. The Dashing Along Designer Series Paper combined with the Dashing Deer Collection is perfection.

Gift Wrapping:

Use a leftover box at home and wrap the Dashing Along DSP onto the box cover and base.   I used my leftover Share What You Love Embellishment Kit Box for this project.  Embellish with real greens from your backyard and use the coordinating Dashing Deer Bundle for your greetings and other decor.

Home Decor:

Embellish these beautiful water bottles for your next holiday dinner.  Wrapping the dsp around the water bottles adds that special touch. Use images and dies from the Dashing Deer collection.  You can use all three bottles as a centre piece too. Just add the decorated bottles to a silver platter.  Add a couple of holiday greens and voila!

Cardmaking:

My favorite.  I made simple cards featuring the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper.  I’ll share more details about these cards in a future post.  As I want you to hop along to our other Artisan Design Team members.

I’ve shown you three different ways to use the Dashing Along DSP.  Get your hands on this amazing paper since it’s only available for a limited time.

How can you get this free dsp? With a qualifying $300 order. Here are some ideas how:

  • Book a home party
  • Book a online party
  • Collect orders from your family and friends
  • Order for 300$ of products and get hostess benefits as well
  • Join me at my next class in September to create with this beautiful paper

The coordinating Dashing Deer Bundle is also available in French.  You can create this look in French too.

Next on the hop is my sweet friend Lauren Alarid from the United States.  I love her creations, all her cards are stunning! Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

If you live in Canada, I would love to be your demonstrator!  Click on the supply list below to order these items.  Use Hostess September Code DJKTSZGR to receive perks from my VIP club.   View all of the current promotions by clicking HERE. There is an amazing hostess promotion for September!!

    Yes! The bottles as a centerpiece (and as gifts) such a great idea. Your book print box might be my most favorite project. So hard to pick but I love that paper and the little center embellishment you created is super cute.

    I love these blog hops, and picking up a little idea here and there. Your projects were wonderful, but what caught my eye is the verse stamped as a background on the ovals. Very clever.

I paired it with sentiments from the Scenic Adventure Bundle, and for the background, I reached for my new favorite: the Party Banners Dies. They add just the right touch!
