IDEAS Blog Hop - That's So Suite Of You

Wednesday, 5 February 2025

Welcome to our February IDEAS Tutorial Blog Hop! This month our theme is "That's So Suite of You". We're sharing projects that feature Suites from the Jan to Apr Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue. 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 Feburary 2025 IDEAS Tutorial Bundle has detailed instructions, colour photography, and tips. My project in the tutorial features a Card and Gusset Bag you can make using the products from the Wildflower Birthday Suite.

Here is a sneak peek of my project in the tutorial.

The Wildflower Birthday Suite is so much fun to play with. The Specialty Designer Series Paper has 2 sheets of die cuts that you can use for quick and easy cards.

My project is exclusive to the Tutorial Bundle, so if you want to see it, you have to get your hands on the tutorial.

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
