Welcome to the August 2018 Stampers By The Dozen Blog Hop. We have some wonderful projects in store for you this month. Just click the NEXT button at the bottom of each blog post to keep moving along in the Hop.
With all the excitement about the new Holiday products coming soon, I decided to take a step back and use some older items mixed in with a few newer items, but not quite the newest products.
Here are my cards for the August 2018 Blog Hop.
The Painted Harvest stamp set along with the ribbon are the older products and the Enjoy Life stamp set along with the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper, Detailed Trio Punch and the Mango Melody cardstock are the newer but not one of the newest products. I have several of the Holiday Catalog items in my possession but I want to wait just a little longer before I share those. :)
Here is a closer look, before you head over to the next blog.
I hope you have enjoyed your visit to the Hive today. Sooo...What did you think of my projects for this Hop? Leave a comment and let me know. Remember, this is a Blog Hop, the excitement continues... Hop on over to Carly's blog...she is up next in the Blog Hop.
Hello Hivers, Just a quick card today. I CASED one of my own cards and just changed up a few design elements. I love entire Nature's Poem Suite. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. Until next time....Buzzz you later. Honeybee
Hello Hivers, Wowzers! I love this card. All the different layers add just enough to the project. I had to resist adding Wink of Stella. I didn't want to distract from the "root" of the card. I was thinking of my niece when I made this card. She is going through a rough time right now and I just wanted to let her know how Wonderful she is. We All Love You, My Dear Niece.
As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. Until next time....Buzzz you later. Honeybee
Hello Hivers, If you look on page 17 of the Annual Catalog, you will see a gorgeous card. I just had to make my version of it. I had fun choosing all the colors. The Stitched Labels Framelits are so much fun to work with. Below you will find a list of all the colors I used and a photo of the inside of the card. Colors: Tranquil Tide, Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Cajun Craze, Basic Black, Silver & Whisper White
As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. Until next time....Buzzz you later. Honeybee
Hello Hivers, I made a third card to match the two I shared on Wednesday of this week. I also found the time to film a video on making this card. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. I also tried making the same card using some the the Nature's Poem DSP. It came out okay. Which one do you like better?
Enjoy the Video.

Hello Hivers,
I decided to update my Memories & More Storage Box. I wanted to use some of the new Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog. I am in love with the Nature's Poem DSP. I added a lid to this box and I am sharing the instructions for that as well. You can view my previous post HERE. You can fit 5 of the Memories & More Card Packs in the storage box. I cut the front of the packaging and write the coordinating colors on it and slide it in the storage box behind all the cards in the pack. That way I will have the name and colors available without having to write on my dividers. You will see in the instructions that I have decorated the back of my box. Some might think this is not necessary, but it is more for sturdiness than looks. So I would definitely recommend adding the decorated back panel.
Instructions:
Decorate Storage Box: Front: 6" x 2.75" (cardstock) 5.75" x 2.5" (DSP) Back: 6" x 4" (cardstock) 5.75" x 3.75" (DSP) Sides: 4" x 2.5" (cardstock x 2) Measure up from bottom 2.75" and make a mark. Cut at angle from mark to opposite corner. Repeat on second peice but on opposite side to get matching angles for the sides of the box. Sides: 3.75" x 2.25" (DSP x 2) Measure up from bottom 2.5" and make a mark. Cut at angle from mark to opposite corner (1/4" down from top). Repeat on second peice but on opposite side to get matching angles for the sides of the box.
You may wish to cut the four outside flaps in half for a better fit (this will reduce thickness of the ends of lid).
Decorate Lid: Top: 2.5" x 6" (cardstock) 2.25" x 5.75" (DSP) Front & Back: 1.75" x 6" (cardstock x 2) 1.5" x 5.75" (DSP x 2) Sides: 1.75" x 2.5" (cardstock x 2) 1.5" x 2.25" (DSP x 2)
File Dividers: 6-1/8" x 4.5" (Basic Gray x 4) Place on Envelope Punch Board at 2" and punch. Place on trimmer at 4-1/8" and cutt off edge along the top. 5-7/8" x 4.25" (Mint Macaron x 4) Place on Envelope Punch Board at 1-7/8" and punch. Place on trimmer at 3-7/8" and cutt off edge along the top. 5-5/8" x 3-5/8" (DSP x 4)
