Crop Crafting May - June 2022

 CROPPING WITH FRIENDS!

Part of the fun of paper crafting is going to crops with friends.  Some compare crops to "quilting bees" when women would meet at the church or someone's home to share their blocks of fabrics and sew them into clothing and linens.  They were often held to create special gifts for family or to celebrate special events.  Similarly we meet at crops to share out ideas and tools and create cards and scrapbook layouts.  

The past few weeks, I have spent weekends at crops with friends crafting.  I shared some of my cards with friends and they've shared with me.  Below are some examples of their creations.

Stamp set used from the Hues of Happiness Suite pages 108 - 109 Stampin' Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

Stamp set used is Ranunculus Romance found on page 97 of the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up Annual Catalog.  

Great fun fold card!  This card uses a stamp set and Designer Papers that are retired.  Stampin' Up! products may retire from the catalog, but are classics that don't lose their beauty. 

Don't you just love all the bright and beautiful colors!  Just looking at them makes me feel lifted and happy.

The new 2022 - 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog is just filled with vibrant color ideas.  Please let me know if you'd like to receive a copy.  And don't forget you can still order from the January-June Mini Catalog...and possibly find some great bargains!  Items are selling out, so don't delay.  Last Day to buy is June 30.  Check the list by clicking the side button.

Enjoy the beginning of summer...90+ degrees here by 10 am.  And I think it's 99.9% humidity.  If you're outside is similar, enjoy being inside and CREATE!  Then post your creations and share with us.
