July – August 2021 Newsletter

Welcome to your July- August 2021 Newsletter; your Stampin’ Up! news and updates.  We have a bit to catch up on. You might like to grab a cuppa or, skim and read what appeals to you.  In any case, Please Enjoy!

l hope you are well and enjoying the start a new season, with the tantalising hints of Spring.  We’ve been doing some chores; some painting, reorganising & decluttering!  That’s definitely a work in progress!  How have you been?

Our garden is coming out of Winter; new growth, new shoots and early flowering.

We’ve cleaned up and re-fenced after the storm.  Luckily, some of our nurseries have a ‘call and collect’ service, so we can start to replant even during lockdown.   And, there are always weeds to keep us out of mischief!

Crafting has been my “go-to” when the weather is wet & windy or when I need some quiet time.  I’ll share some of these creations with you, including links and directions.  

These are the topics I’ll be covering.  You’ll be able to scroll down to view.

Whimsy & Wonder Suite

Whimsical Trees Bundle and Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Paper by Stampin’ Up! give a totally different look to our more traditional Christmas trees and colours. In Whimsy & Wonder Paper we have pinks, blues and soft greens, highlighted with iridescent foil; they are indeed whimsical, as are the magical Christmas trees.

Words of Cheer Bundle with Whimsy & Wonder Paper

Words of Cheer Bundle by Stampin’ Up! is a great ‘go-to’ bundle for Christmas, birthdays or other celebrations. I have concentrated on a Christmas theme in this design and have paired it with foil accented Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP). It is stunning. Both of these items are in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalogue.  The pretty scalloped panel uses Basic Borders Dies from the Annual Catalogue.

What’s Cookin’ Bundle & In Good Taste DSP

What’s Cookin’ Bundle by Stampin’ Up! is perfect for crafting. There’s something about Lockdown to make me think of cooking and family! In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (DSP) provides the perfect tile backdrop for our card’s kitchen!

Our family, in different households, recently Zoomed into an Online cooking class. What a Treat for Lockdown…..thanks Donna Hay. Your colours and recipes are the inspiration for this card.

Hats Off Bundle & Designer Series Papers

Let’s look at some fun options using Hats Off Bundle & Designer Series Papers. Can you see the possibility of making both colourful and more neutral themed cards when using this bundle?

I love how we can use the bundle to make ‘pretty’ cards as well as ones with a more neutral or masculine design.

In Colors- 3D Trinket Box & Gift Card

My crafting friends asked me to share this project. Several knew that they would pop chocolates and or small trinkets in the box to give to a friend; others thought it would be perfect as a Welcome Baby gift, complete with a small baby toy or pair of booties. I’m so thrilled with the baby options, as we have many new babies to welcome into the world.

I adapted designs in two different colourways, each for a general theme or to welcome a new baby.

The In Colors used are Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent.  The bundles used are All for Baby, Wild Cats, and Pansy Patch.   The Designer Series papers are Pansy Petals and In the Wild.
