Hearts for All Occasions with Meant to Be Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the March Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop! I am privileged to be participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the United States, Canada, Australia and United Kingdom! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Terri Stewart's blog. Welcome one and all.

This month all our projects will feature birthdays. I wanted to try a double Z fold card and I really wanted to use the Meant to Be stamp set to show how the hearts could be used for something other than Valentine's day. This is a picture of the card front.

What do you think about this super cute DSP and that Balmy Blue heart? Love it. The card base is Lovely Lipstick cardstock.

For the inside sentiment, I stayed with the Balmy Blue to tie in with the card front. Also used a snip of the Pearlized Doily behind the heart. If you would like to see the measurements and more details, please let me know in the comments and I will share in a follow up blog post or email them to you,

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.

Handmade Card using Lovely Lattice Stamp Set

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the February Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop! I am privileged to be participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the United States, Canada, Australia and United Kingdom! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog. Welcome one and all. 

February is the second month of Sale-A-Bration and the theme for our blog hop this month is to feature any one of the amazing free products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog in our projects. I had several products to choose from, but I wanted to color so I selected the Lovely Lattice Stamp Set (p. 15). Coloring is so peaceful to me.

This first card is a "peek-a-boo"card, meaning that the featured image is stamped on the inside and a window is created on the front of the card to "peek" inside the card. The window is created with the second largest oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits that fits inside the largest scallop oval and then use both to create the window frame.

I keep reaching for the Gingham Gala 6x6 Designer Series Paper (DSP), this time in Balmy Blue (pp. 34-34 of the new 2018 Occasions Catalog). So pretty. I could not believe that I had not purchased the Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends yet so I had to improvise and use Light Pool Party with shades of Light Smoky Slate for the flowers. And for the dark flower around the frame, I used the Stampin' Blends and the Balmy Blue ink pad. The bow is the 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon in Whisper White colored with the Stampin' Write Marker. (Pool Party - more improvising!)

This second card is a "framed" card. I built the frame using the largest and third largest rectangles from the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits using the Gingham Gala 6x6 DSP in Highland Heather to match the flowers. The flowers were stamped around the edges of a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 piece of cardstock using the Stamparatus. (I have a template. If you are interested, message me.) The bow is the 3/8 Classic Weave Ribbon in Whisper White colored with the Stampin' Write Marker. (Highland Heather) The sentiment is from Colorful Seasons.

So Hoppy Together Stamp Set for Valentine's Day

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the January Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from the United States, Canada, Australia and United Kingdom! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Elizabeth Green's blog. Welcome one and all. 

The theme for our blog hop this month is to feature any one of the amazing free products from the new Sale-A-Bration catalog in our projects. (I hope you have received your catalog. It is fabulous!) I really fell in love with the cute little frogs from So Hoppy Together Stamp Set (p. 15), and I thought this juggling frog on a unicyle would make a perfect Valentine's Day card.

The Gingham Gala 6x6 Designer Series Paper (in Lemon Lime Twist) and the Gingham Gala Adhesive-Back Sequins (in Grapefruit Grove) are found on pages 34-34 of the new 2018 Occasions Catalog. So pretty. This card also features hearts and the sentiment from the Meant to Be Stamp Set/Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies Bundle (p. 6).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! Show this Sale-A-Bration stamp set So Hoppy Together some LOVE today. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations.
