Next month we run our very last class series for 2019.  Over the last few years, we've chosen to feature project kits at this time of year as they are fabulous, fast and fun - perfect for a crafting fix during the busy festive season.

This November, we are sharing our twist on the Joy of Giving Tag Kit. This kit comes with ready to assemble cardstock pieces, embellishments, adhesives, a stamp set and ink spot for simple projects that will take your gifts from basic to brilliant this gift-giving season.


While the projects that come with the kits are amazing, the Crafty Carrot Co team enjoy putting their own twist on the kit contents so you get lots of alternate project ideas! 

This blog hop is a chance for us to have a little 'warm up' play with the goodies.  For my project, I've created a scrapbook layout.  I've embellished my 12 x 12" Soft Suede base with elements from the kit with a little vanilla card, a retired gold doily and a piece of retired Dashing Along newsprint pattern.

Joy of Giving Tag Kit, The Crafty Carrot Co Blog Hop

It's the Crafty Carrot Co Christmas edition!  We've got ALL your holiday craft needs covered this October.

This program has all the things you love about the Crafty Carrot Co online classes, but with a twist! Each Crafty Carrot tutor will be playing with a different holiday stamp set - that's right, not one but four featured sets!

Not only are we each using a different set, but we will be copying and sharing ideas from each other's tutorials so that you can see how to apply the class ideas to each of the four stamp sets.

So you're essentially getting 16 project ideas for the price of 4!  Don't miss out, subscribe to secure your spot today!

Today's hop projects!   

Today I'm sharing one project two ways. Here is a simple fast version for those creating cards 'just in time'...


and here is a stepped-up variation for those who have more time up their sleeves - so you are covered no matter what your schedule brings this season!


I chose to feature the Dashing Deer stamp set throughout October.  It is a carryover favourite from last year and is available from the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue.  I can't wait to see how my Crafty Carrot Co friends inspire me to get the most out of this set next month.

The Christmas inspiration continues next with the fabulous Krista Frattin.  She's chosen a brand new holiday catalogue favourite to share with you all!  Click the 'next' button below to see more:

Today's hop project
Our monthly blog hops give us a chance to 'warm up' with the focus products before creating our exclusive class designs.  My hop project today was inspired by fellow Crafty Carrot tutor, the very talented, Cindy Schuster.  I just LOVE the unexpected colour combo and layout she created sometime ago *HERE*.  I couldn't resist creating my own variation with the Daisy Lane set to share with you all.  It's a great example of how you can draw inspiration from your favourite floral projects to create something new!

Today's hop project
Our monthly blog hops give us a chance to 'warm up' with the focus products before creating our exclusive class designs. I went for a quick and simply stamped theme for my project today.  We all have times when we need a great, fast card idea.  For me, I'm in the middle of a busy school holiday period, have been busy with all that goes with celebrating a special birthday in the family, as well as adjusting to a new job outside of home for the first time in a decade!  So much happening!  I hope you've enjoyed this achieveable project idea and I can't wait to share with you more 'stepped up' options in our August group next month.

Sail Away, The Crafty Carrot Co Blog Hop

July 9, 2019


Hello!  Welcome to another blog hop for the Crafty Carrot Co.  We are a team of Artisan award winners who are passionate about connecting through our love of cardmaking.  We teach live video-based design classes for crafters of all levels, whether you're a beginner or have been crafting for years!

We choose just one product focus for all our classes in our exclusive monthly facebook groups.  Throughout July, this focus is the brand new Above the Clouds stamp set.


Our blog hop today is an excuse for us to get a little 'warm up' play with the stamp set.


Recently I've been thinking a lot about how important self-care is. Cold winter air outdoors and heated rooms indoors can strip your skin of much-needed moisture. Viruses are more common at this time too, leaving us feeling off colour. It seemed like the perfect time to focus on a little self-care project. So in my at-home class earlier this month I shared some spa inspired gifts. An invigorating sugar scrub and some relaxing bath salts, perfect for nourishing our skin and enticing us to take a bit of extra time for ourselves this winter.  I couldn't resist adding gift tags featuring this fun, new stamp set!


And I enjoyed making a matching card.  This design was inspired by one of the beautiful new Annual catalogue samples.


For more inspiration for this set, click the 'next' button below to see what my very clever friend Krista has made.




If you love what we've created, we'd love to keep sharing the love with you in our exclusive group.  To join us, simply shop with the Crafty Carrot Demo in your market or subscribe!

Above the Clouds, The Crafty Carrot Co Blog Hop

June 11, 2019


I'm so glad the Broadway Birthday stamp set and coordinating dies are sticking around for another Stampin' Up! Catalogue year. Every cardmaker needs a versatile birthday set in their collection.

Throughout June, The Crafty Carrot Co can't wait to show you just how well-rounded this stamp set really is!  We are pairing it with patterned papers (new and old) to create unique looks and variations to make any of your loved ones feel like a star on their birthday!

For my card today, I decided to cut up those busy Broadway Bound papers and share a quick and easy layout idea. It was a great opportunity to feature the bold Lemon Lime twist tone that retires this month.

Create sunny days whenever someone needs them with the Crafty Carrot Co this May.  Join us for a series of online classes featuring the fresh, summery, feel-good 'Sunny Days' stamp set!


Today's blog hop is a little creative 'warm-up' for our team of tutors.  It gives us a chance to play with the set and share with you some initial ideas to whet your appetite for the upcoming monthly program!

For my card today, I featured those sweet little drinks.  They were so fun to colour with Stampin' Blends!  I even coloured my doilies to create a little delicate bordering detail to match.
