Creativity Abounds Blog Hop - January 2021

Wednesday, 20 January 2021

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

You may be starting here or you may have come from someone else's blog - either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed - so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin' Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin' Up!® teams.

Here's our amazing Creativity Abounds Design Team!

The theme for our blog hop this month is "Love" and all of the projects feature one of the new products on pages 10-17 of the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue. I've used the Forever & Always Bundle for my card. Isn't it pretty! Perfect for any occasion including Valentine's Day or a wedding or just because.
