Welcome to the 3rd Thursday BLOG HOP for February 2021.  Those of us who love our Stampin’ Up! products are still enjoying the first Sale-a-bration promotion for 2021.  Yes I said first Sale-a-bration for 2021, Stampin’ Up! will be having another one mid-year.

So this month I have a product that features my absolute favorite Sale-a-bration product, the Berry Blessings Bundle.  You can add this item to your order once you have spent $100.  I know that is a big order, but I know we all get there fairly easily!

So the Berry Blessings Bundle included the stamp set Berry Blessings and the patterned paper Berry Delightful DSP.  It also coordinates rather nicely with the Sweet Strawberry bundle found in the Spring Mini Catalog.  Gotta love coordinating products!

Okay, so I do have a Stampin’ Show & Tell video tutorial to share with you today as well.  I will take you through my two-step crafting process.  First I will create the ATC cards, which work well as sentiment tags and embellishments for our projects.  Then I will show you how easy it is to make them into full-sized cards.  Then you can  see the full tutorial with the supply list below in this post.

Well, that was easy!  First think about crafting some ATC cards.  Whether you want to trade them with your crafting friends or keep them to use on your own projects.  Then use that coordinating color cardstock and scrap patterned paper to make full cards.

Now that you have visited with me, and I hope my project may have inspired you, it’s time to send you along to the next blog with Susan Reitmeyer Legits.  Please leave me and the other paper crafters comments on our posts.  We just love to know what you think of our ideas.
