3rd Annual Canada Day Video Hop

Happy Canada Day!  I’m joining a group of Crafty Canadian YouTubers and we’re celebrating this special day by featuring Canadian craft products, shops and publications who have generously sponsored today’s event with over $1000 in prizes!  I had so much fun creating my projects with items from Pigment Craft Co and all of the details are in my YouTube Video:

THANK YOU to the amazing and generous sponsors of this Video Hop - be sure to check out the discounts, prizes and other offerings - Emily has all the details on her blog:

My first project is a Slimline Shaker card - I just ADORE that Jumbo Candy Die and have lots of ideas for it.

I had to make it into a shaker and was happy to see how well it fits on a Slimline card! The white scalloped layer is a Slimline die from Studio Katia (also linked below) and I used the Pigment Craft Co inks BLUSH to add some colour around the perimeter of the white Slimline card base.

Here is a peek at the inside, with the Best Ever stamp and die set. How fun is that large sentiment? ❤️

The Scallops & Trims die is sized for an A2 card and cuts at 4 x 5.25". Because I wanted to make a Slimline card using that die set, this Slimline is 4 x 8.5" instead of the 3.5 x 8.5" that the first card measured. I cut transparencies just a little smaller than the Scallop frames and ran them through with the Dashed Diamonds Cover Plate. This gave such a nice embossed texture to the transparencies! 

I needed something large to cover where the two Scalloped Frames overlapped, so I used the Oval Frame stencil, and the Happy Easter set (stamps & dies) to create the focal point. The only image in the Happy Easter set that is truly only for Easter ... is the word/die EASTER. Other than that one, the set can be used all year round!

Inside, I added a white card stock panel and several more of the blooms from the Happy Easter set.

Finally, I made a Gift Bag decoration. Initially it was going to be a tag, but I liked how it fit on the bag as a decoration. This is for our Grandson, who celebrates a birthday this month. There will be candy, a small gift (his main gift will be separate) and I can tuck his Birthday Card inside as well.

I love how versatile the Pigment Craft Co products are ... the sentiment I used on the front are from the Berry Sentiments - which are meant to work with the berry product line. But they are just perfect for the candy items too!

Be sure to leave a comment on the video's, and hop along to be inspired. There are SO many great prizes and giveaways, the more you comment on the YouTube videos - the higher your chances of winning! (Please indicate if you are in Canada or elsewhere as a few prizes are restricted to Canadian addresses only.)  All of the giveaway details are on Emily’s blog.

Canada Day Video Hop + Over $1300 in Giveaways!

Hello! Today I’m joining a group of Crafty Canadian YouTubers and we’re celebrating by featuring Canadian craft products and shops. A total of 16 shops and 2 Canadian papercraft magazines have generously sponsored today’s event and we’re giving away over $1300 in prizes! We have over 40 individual gift certificates ranging from $25 to $100, a one-year subscription to Creative Scrapbooker Magazine, and a grand prize package worth $150 from Scrapbook & Cards Today.  There will be a full list of the prizes on Emily's Blog: I'm featuring products from several of our sponsors (Scrap 'N Stamp, Your Next Stamp, Studio Katia and Angie Blom Digital Designs), to show you four different cards! After you’ve finished watching my video, please leave a comment for your chance to win, and then click on the link in the description below for the next person in the hop. More details on that lower down in my post.

Below are the three cards I made using the Party Palooza kit, (linked in the supplies) which Scrap 'N Stamp kindly sent me to use for the Canada Day Video Hop. 😊

There is a LOT to cover so I will keep my card details to a minimum here on my blog. I did go over everything in the video!  The first card is a 'faker shaker' with a Pop Up inside. I have a video link for tutorials on both the 'faux shaker' and the simple box pop up in the description box of the video.

Card #2 is a clear card, and the birthday sentiment and signing area is hidden when the card is closed.

Card #3 has a stencilled background, a fun shaker on the front and inside is a place to insert a Gift Card.

Finally, since this is Canada Day, I created a Mini Slimline Fold Flap card using a sweet digital stamp by Angie Blom Digital Designs (also linked in the supplies). I used the white and the black card stocks that were included in the Party Palooza Card Kit as well.

Canada Day Treat Holders

These Treat Holders were made using the Your Next Stamp Treat Topper die, a digital stamp from Angie Blom Digital Designs and some clear 'drops' from Studio Katia. They are for our Grandkids and have Maple Cookies inside the cello bags.

For the backing piece, I cut white card stock to 3.5 x 6", wrapped the cello bag around the top and stapled it, Then the Treat Topper wad attached with double sided tape.

Crafty Wishes Treat Holder

This second Treat Topper is decorated with the FUN Craftastic set from Studio Katia. I also added some of their pearls and crystals for a little somethin' somethin'.

Canada Day Explosion Card

I had fun making this Explosion Card using digital images from Angie Blom Digital Designs, and the greeting is from the Happy Celebrations stamp set from Studio Katia.

Note, I cut down my text weight paper to 8 x 8" after it had been printed.

Maple Leaf Z-Fold Card

If you follow my blog you know I love Z-fold cards! This one uses this lovely heart filled Maple Leaf digital image from Angie Blom Digital Designs. I also added some confetti, the patterned paper and a stamped greeting using goodies from Studio Katia.

Slimline Oval Shaker Card

I also LOVE making Slimline cards, so really enjoyed combining the new Dotted Slimline Die Set One from Studio Katia with the Beautiful Butterflies stamps & dies from Your Next Stamp. The pretty confetti and bling is also from Studio Katia.

Here is a peek at the inside, where I used an additional stamp set from Your Next Stamp and a little more Studio Katia bling.

This was a huge undertaking, put together by the amazing Emily Leiphart. The sponsors were so generous & excited to be a part of this Canada Day Video Hop! I want to thank everyone who was involved and I hope you hop along for all the inspiration we have for you.
