Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop!  We are an international group of Stampin' Up!® demonstrators.  We hop together on the third Wednesday of every month.  Our hops focus around a particular bundle, holiday, occasion or product suite.  Every month we create a tutorial bundle. The tutorial bundle is available as a gift with a qualifying purchase or can also be purchased.   We also have a stamp camp 3 times a year.  The next camp will be on July 7th and 8th and will feature the Fresh as a Daisy Suite.  You will receive 13 make and takes, access to a private Facebook group and 2 days of even more ideas using the Suite.  All you will need to do is purchase the Suite using a Host Code that I will provide and you are in!  I will post the Host Code at the end of the month.  

This month our blog hop focus is on the Online Exclusives products. Online Exclusives are not part of any catalog and can only be found well, online.  The products are not available for a pre-determined amount of time so if you see something you like you will want to get it sooner rather than later.  Some of the items may be re-ordered and some only available for a short period of time.  

For my project I used the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible DSP.  The gold leaves were cut from the Distressed Gold Specialty paper with  the Irresistible Blooms dies.  The flowers and leaves were heat embossed using White Embossing powder on Vellum Cardstock.   Around the flowers and in the centers, I used the Festive Pearls in gold

Here's a little tip.  I cut out the middle of the Distressed Gold paper before adhering it to the Petal Pink card base.  I used a Stitched Rectangle die to cut it out and then used that piece to cut out the leaves.   This is a good way to avoid bulk and  also not waste paper.  

Inside I added a strip of DSP, Distressed Gold paper and a couple of leaves.  This is a simple and pretty way to finish the inside of your cards.

Thanks for stopping by and remember it is Free Shipping (April 19th ) Day with a qualifying order!

Place a $50 order through my online store and receive this bundle (13 tutorials!!)  as a thank you.  You can also purchase the tutorial bundle for $15.00.  Please contact me ([email protected]) if you would like to purchase the tutorial.

This is the project I created for the tutorial.  It is a quick and easy pocket card.
