IDEAS Blog Hop - July 2024

Wednesday 3 July 2024

Welcome to our June IDEAS Tutorial Blog Hop! This month our theme is "Holidays". Our global team is from Australia, Europe, Canada and the United States. Join me to hop to each designers' blog for sneak peeks of our projects. The collage below has a tiny peek of each designers' project!

Our Tutorial has 13 demonstrator designers with over 26+ projects from various countries around the world. The July 2024 IDEAS Tutorial Bundle has detailed instructions, colour photography, and tips. My project in the tutorial features the Round We Go Bundle. Perfect to celebrate any holiday in July!

Here is a sneak peek of my project, all of the supplies and details for my projects are in our tutorial bundle.

This was a fun project to make to celebrate Canada Day on July 1st!

My card is exclusive to the Tutorial Bundle, so if you want to see it, you have to get your hands on the tutorial. Check below for another card I made using scraps from my stash!

I have three options for you to get the tutorial:

Place an order via my online store for $45 CDN (before shipping and taxes) using this month's host code. Make sure you allow Stampin' Up! to share your contact details so that I can email the tutorial to you. If your order is over $200 CDN, don't use the Host Code or you will miss out on the Stampin' Rewards. I'll still send you the PDF
Join my Ink and Papers Stampers Team and you'll get the IDEAS Tutorial for free. Definitely a reason to take advantage of the great join offer!
Buy the tutorial for $20 CDN via my Square Store
