A Summer Sale-A-Bration | Be Inspired Blog Hop

This year Stampin' Up! decided to bring back the popular promotion Sale-a-Bration for a Summer rendition. Who doesn't like a promotion? Especially when the freebie products are as sweet as these?

The Be Inspired Blog Team is here to give you some inspiration for those products!

I absolutely fell in love with the dazzling 6x6 paper - in fact, I bought several packs!! I envision them to be used in strips to add accents to projects especially for tags. The best thing about these paper is that they don't shed.

Initially I made a quick tag but I couldn't help myself and used the scraps for a card.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Don't stop here - check out what Brian King is up to!

Carpe Diem | Be Inspired Design Team

The new 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! catalogue is being released o May 3rd. I am so excited. I am so ready for new things and fresh trends. This month the Be Inspired Design Team is inspiring you with a floral theme.

This card actually doesn't have any stamping. It uses the cards from the new Memories nd More pack. There are card duplicates so it made it easy to pop up some of the sentiments and images. I paired this with a couple packs of new Designer Series Paper and voila! Easy Peezy.

So glad you popped by - keep hopping along to my friend Carolynn!

For the Kids | Be Inspired Blog Hop

Well guys,

It's quiet around here. Since my third baby was born and the pandemic took over the world as we knew it, I have been literally surviving every day with the priority to try to keep myself and my family happy. All the little tasks now are becoming big tasks.

But today I will share with you a card that I created for Be Inspired Blog Hop team. This month's theme is "For the Kids". As typical for me, I have created a clean and simple card using the Stampin' Up! On the Go stamp set and the brick embossing folder.

I love cute stamps. I can't help it.

I really hope you are all well. Sincerely. We are waiting on covid days and are entering our 17th day of not leaving our home. None of us have covid but there's strict contact tracing and measures here in Newfoundland. We are all looking forward to the days when we had zero cases on a daily basis again.

Lots of Love, Cathy

But don't stop here - keep hopping along to Manuela.

Getting the Memories Captured | Be Inspired Blog Hop

When it comes to papercrafting, I am whole heartedly a scrapbooker.

Right now I am in a stage of life where there is very little time for a shower let alone crafting. I simply need my stories to be told before they are forgotten. The Stampin' Up! Memories and More help acheive that goal.

So here I cam getting another page finalized. Another story told. It warms my heart.

Thanks for hopping by - Manuela is up next! I can't wait to see what she created as well as the rest of the Be Inspired Design Team!

Be Inspired | Punch It Out

When Summer arrives in Newfoundland, you have to take advantage. As such my time in the craft room is limited. I am trying to squeeze every bit of daylight I can into memories.

So, I am not overthinking. I have been keeping it incredibly simple. And why not when the products are so pretty?

This inspiration challenge was Punch it Out - living on the East Coast of Canada the whale suite was an absolute must have item yet I hadn't used it. If that's not inspiration and the push I needed, I am not sure what is.

Challenges are always incredibly important for my crafting "mojo". But in this case, punches makes life easy. So go ahead. Join us and get inspirated.

But first, be sure to keep hopping along to Manuela and the rest of the Be Inspired Design Team!

Ps. Never be without a googly eye!!!
