Good morning and welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop. This month we’re featuring Summer Fun Crafty Projects. Things that either reflect some Summer Fun or some Crafty Projects you might do in the Summer for Fun, or a bit of both! You may have hopped here from the lovely Eimear and I know she’ll have had a great project for you. Or you may have started here at Queen Pip Cards from the sunny Ash Vale (Surrey / Hampshire border)! Either way, welcome & please keep hopping!

It wasn’t hard for me to choose what to feature for my Summer Fun Crafty Projects, having just come back from the Incentive Trip to Thailand which was amazing, I wanted to share some of that with you and the hop.  First up is my Swap and my little Treat Gift Bag. I took along a few gifts for the event team, because they look after us so well. Inside are some traditional English sweets that wouldn’t melt! The little Elephant from A Little Wild is perfect, don’t you agree? You can make a whole set of these bags for party favours or wedding favours! The stamp does both sides and the framelit cuts it out perfectly in one go!

For my swap (we make 26 cards to go out to 25 other demos plus one for Stampin’ Up! to keep), then we all get a random selection of 25 cards back! It’s great & I did a little Facebook Live on all the swaps I got which I’ve now uploaded to my YouTube channel. But I digress… for my swap I decided to go with an Elephant theme (well it’s the national symbol of Thailand, so I thought it an obvious choice). Then in a flash of madness I added the water droplets. Of course once I’d done that I couldn’t bear it without them – so 26 x 9 droplets later…

The sentiment comes from Tabs for Everything and I made it up out of a Heart then This then Happy Life so you read it as “Heart this happy life” because I do LOVE this happy life of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator! On the back of the card I stuck the rear of the tag because it’s too cute not to use! For a few of my friends I also made a 10 x 7.5 cm version which they could pop into their Memories & More albums.

I also have these photos to put into a pocket page when they arrive! Now there’s a gaggle of demos who love a spot of crafting and a spot of Summer Fun too! This was our team night out in Thailand with our fabulous leader Natalie O’Shea!

Talk about some Summer Fun Crafty Projects. From cards, to gift packaging to scrapbooking! The choices are endless with the A Little WIld stamp set and matching framelits.
