I started a new series on Instagram - Copying the Catalog LIVE. I made these two cards last week live while on my Instagram channel - Mail Something Pretty.

I find a card/project in the catalog and then show you how I copy it. I do everything live, there is no prep or script involved. No make up, fancy nails or special outfits - just me at my craft table. I'm sure there's going to be blunders, phone ringing or who knows what along the way. But, I want to show you how YOU can copy things right out of the catalog too. And there will be times when I need to substitute products when I don't have the exact supplies (it may seem like I have everything, but you will discover I definitely don't. I'm just a good improviser).

Be sure to subscribe to my instagram so you get alerted when I am live, or watch the replays. Say hello, write comments and let me know you are there watching.

I'll be going live again tomorrow morning at 9:30 to make this card. I hope you can join me live or on the replay!!!

A reminder that the last day for the Designer Series Paper Sale is Monday, August 2. The gingham paper in the above two cards (who doesn't love gingham!!!) is part of the sale too. It's found in the Pansy Petals pack.

I wrote a blog post using one sketch and all of the sales papers last week, if you missed it, you can read it here: https://mailsomethingpretty.com/9-card-samples-using-the-same-sketch-all-the-sale-papers/

Everyone needs Hope (I'm extra lucky because my daughter's name is Hope). In this month's all inclusive crafting kit (aka Paper Pumpkin), you too can create a box of Hope ~ cards too! 9 cards in fact that are butterfly themed. The box the supplies come in can be turned into a keepsake box, decorated with the extra supplies given. Keep it yourself to store mementos, or gift it to someone you love.

To get your own Hope Box, you must be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. You can do that easily here - www.mailsomethingpretty.com/monthlycraftingkitsignup

Shelli Gardner, founder of Stampin' Up! helped create this box and shows you what she keeps in her box in the below video.

The kit contains:

Enough supplies to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes.
Comes with a Classic Stampin’ Spot and an exclusive stamp set.
The box is designed to be a keepsake box— keep mementos of cherished memories or reminders of what’s yet to come.
Includes uplifting sentiments that promotes emotional connection and growing friendships.
Features an empowering color palette with these coordinating colors: Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Melon Mambo, Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Poppy Parade.
