Creativity Abounds Blog Hop – Waterside Retreat

Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can inspire your creativity.

The Waterside Retreat Stamp Camp is being held on the 12-13th July. For more details about the Stamp Camp and what you need to do to join click here.

The blog hop this month is to show the bonus projects that we will be demonstrating in the Stamp Camp. There are 13 bonus projects as well as the 13 (make ‘n take) projects in the tutorial bundle! This is a really versatile masculine suite – I’m sure you will love all the card in the Stamp Camp.

My bonus card is a slatted pillar card that folds flat to fit into an envelope for posting.

There is lots of time to place your order and receive your products and Make ‘n Take kit before the Stamp camp. Click here to be directed to my online store to purchase your products. You will also need to have Linen Thread on hand for your Make & Takes.

Here is a sneak peek of the projects in the tutorial bundle. As this is a bundle for the Stamp Camp, it has the measurements in metric and imperial, written instruction and video links for assembling the Make ‘n Takes.

This is my card that will be one of your make & takes for the Stamp Camp.
