Creativity Abounds Blog Hop...Fun Folds
August 16, 2023
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. This month we are focusing onFun Folds.
Every month we create a tutorial bundle. The tutorial bundle is available as a gift with a qualifying purchase ($50 USD or can also be purchased for $15). We also have a stamp camp 3 times a year. The next camp will be on October 20 & 21 and will focus on the Winter Meadow Suite. Please contact me if you would like more information about the tutorial bundle or the Winter Meadow stamp camp.
Two of my favorite things from the 2023-24 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog, the Crafting with You bundle and the Delightfully Eclectic DSP. I don't know the name of this fold, I just know I like it a lot to show off the mixing and matching possibilities of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP.
Do you see a little sneak peek? Check out the Deckled Circle behind the Stylish Shapes circle! Yes! I am so excited about this set of dies. Look how nicely they layer. These can be found on page 63 of the 2023 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog. There are 14 deckled circles in the set and I cannot wait to show you the coordination possibilities with Ad other circle dies.

I love the combination of the pink and navy - so fresh and fun. It's a nice fold too - easy but with a good dose of wow too!
