July 2024 review and a look ahead to August.

Hi there thanks for coming to my blog today. I thought I would start a new series of a monthly round up of the previous month activities and i wee look at the month ahead. Please let me know in the comments if this is something you appreciate.

So in August, I took part in the Touches of Ink Blog Hop which happens at 6 pm UK time on the second Wednesday of each month. We can choose what set we use so long as it’s current.

Inspire Ink Blog Hop on the third Saturday of each month at 10 am UK time. The theme for July was Sympathy

 

I designed this inspiration card for SU colour challenge for August. SU Color Challenge is held in a Facebook Group which anyone can join

We set a colour challenge each month and we provide some inspiration. It is fun to try and it is good if you are struggling to decide what to create.

I’ve also started taking part in the weekly craft collaborations monochromatic weekly Instagram

And then of course there was the two video hops that I organise the Stampin UK video which happens on the first of each month at 6 pm UK time. Our theme for July was Black and Gold. 

and the Stampin’ Around the World video  hop which happens on the 15th of the month at 9 pm UK time. Our theme in July was case the catalogue.

Every week I hold face-to-face Cuppa And Cards at our local garden centre from 1030 to 1130 on a Thursday morning – you can come along make a card and have a great chat and a cuppa

Every Sunday at 6 pm, I do live stamping on YouTube unless I am doing something with my family or I am on holiday.

There was also Class in the Post in July – I held 2 zoom classes for this.

One of my favourite points of the month is the last Wednesday when I have a gathering on zoom with my team. We chat and craft together – I’d love to welcome some more crafters to my team – find out more HERE

 

So looking ahead to what August has to offer for Stampin us in Stampin Up today until the end of August we have 15% of all the designer series papers in the annual catalogue that’s a fabulous offer especially if your team up with your Bonus Days vouchers that you earned in July.

Also two new kits will be available from the 6th of August

I’m looking ahead to September. I have an event on Sunday, the 8th of September in the afternoon. You can find further details on my book website by clicking the button below.

I am also excited to be attending an event for Demonstrators at the end of August in Glasgow.

Sparkle Shimmer and Shine! – InspireInk-blog-hop – Cozy Cottage in the Snow

I’m so happy to have joined this lovely group of talented crafters for a whole year of monthly planned bloghops! A different theme every month using current Stampin’ Up products and the January theme is Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine. The most time was taken up deciding what products to work with as there are so many gorgeous things in both current catalogues. I hope you enjoy all the projects and hopping around them all to see what we’ve all been making. Please come back and share what you are inspired to make after having a look at our projects. You can share a pic of your project on my facebook business page JazzleDazzle.

 

 

I was really excited when i saw the theme for this hop but i couldn’t decide what i was going to do. Inspiration came when several inches of snow fell at the beginning of the week! My world was suddenly sparkly, shimmery and shiny! I had been planning to show this hostess set in a spring setting, but i realised I can do it for all seasons! This is my winter version.

This is a Hostess Stamp Set and can only be bought at the special hostess price with your rewards for being a hostess. To qualify your order has to be at least £150.00 – contact me to find out how you can achieve that.

If I am asked i will make a video to show how i made this card – let me know if you are interested. Please have a look at all the projects in this Blog Hop, my fellow demonstrators have made some amazing projects – please enjoy hopping around. The next project is by my beautiful friend Tina from Germany and i know her project will be fabulous click on the ‘next’ button below to move on – thanks for popping in – bye x

 

Here is the video you asked for – I’m sorry it cuts out before I’m entirely finished  – my camera has decided that 22 minutes is long enough and its probably right but i was almost done!.
