July Paper Crafting Blog Hop

Hello, my crafty friends. Welcome to the July Paper Crafting Blog Hop! I am participating in this blog hop with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators from across the globe! You might be starting the blog hop right now, or you may be coming from Sandra Roberts' blog (great project, Sandra!). Welcome one and all.

This month everyone's projects feature Designer Series Paper ("DSP") from the 2020-21 Annual Catalog. I think you would agree with me that the choice is difficult as there are so many excellent choices. For my projects today, I thought I would use the Flowers for Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. The sheet I picked from the 12 double-sided sheets is quite subtle compared to the others in this collection. It features beautiful lighter shades of Cinnamon Cider for the rose, among Misty Moonlight flowers and background, and a sprinkle of Just Jade leaves - all new 2020-22 In Colors.

My project is a simple 3" x 3" gift box. It may hold 5 or 6 cards depending on the height of your embellishments. I make Thank You cards in this size that I tuck in with my hand-delivered customer orders. I am gifting this box of cards (so no picture of the cards inside!), but I have included a picture of a couple of full size cards.

How cool is that Denim ribbon? It coordinates perfectly with Misty Moonlight! The box base and card bases are Just Jade and the accent pieces are Shaded Spruce. These colors coordinate perfectly, too! Plus, for a splash of color, I picked Melon Mambo for the cutsie butterfly and flowers cut from the Well Written dies.

As always, thank you for stopping by my blog today! Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you and your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it!. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Sue McDonald.

Colorful Seasons Papercrafters Blog Hop

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

This month's theme is any kind of fall project. I have chosen Colorful Seasons (AC p. 56) to show off Stampin' Up!'s beautiful fall colors. The colors used include Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Early Espresso.

The Colorful Seasons Stamp Set coordinates with the Seasonal Layers Dies (AC p. 195), Don't you love those adirondack chairs!! And, there is the Buffalo Check Background Stamp (AC p. 156) again.

I am terribly lacking in fall sentiments since it is not such a "hot" theme here in Florida. I chose the word "welcome" from the Well Written dies (AC p. 197) and created "fall" combining letters from two other dies. (Well Said Stamp Set, AC p. 47 - not used on this card front, but coordinates with the dies.) Hard to tell, but the "fall" sign is hanging from the top sentiment flag using the linen thread. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring Colorful Seasons. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Sue McDonald.

Easy Handmade Birthday Card for the August Paper Crafting Blog Hop

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

Happy Birthday! is the theme this month and I have chosen Broadway Birthday stamp set (AC p. 67) which was introduced in the 2018-19 Annual Catalog with the gorgeous Broadway Bound DSP featuring lots of gold, the now retired Lemon Lime Twist, and the 2018-20 in color Lovely Lipstick (and coordinated with the June 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit). Some really cute cards have been made with that collection so I thought we should show this set some new love.

The marquee die cut is from the coordinating Broadway Lights die collection (AC p. 191) and popped up with several Stampin' Dimensionals for height and stability. I picked this small gingham print in Coastal Cabana from the Brights 6x6 DSP pack (AC p. 162) for the background. Love the sparkly, adhesive-backed Glitter Enamel dots in graduating sizes. 

I really spiced up the inside of my card with the birthday hats and candle. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is a combination of the Well Said stamp set (AC p. 47) and the Well Written dies (AC p. 197).

Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I sure hope you have enjoyed my card featuring Broadway Birthday. Leave a comment below with a trail to find you so I can see your creations. Do not forget to check out the great project by our next blog hopper, Terri Stewart.

Easy Handmade Card Using Butterfly Gala Stamp Set 2.0

Hello, my crafty friends. Here's a quick and easy remake of one of our June cards in a basic layout using the Butterfly Gala stamp set (AC p. 46). If you missed that card, click HERE to see it.

This card "remake" uses identical supplies from the first card: the new in color Seaside Spray cardstock, topped with a 1/4" smaller layer using the Buffalo Check Background stamp in the coordinating ink. However, the Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set and coordinating Well Written dies (AC p. 47, 197) and the sweet little flower from the Perennial Birthday stamp set (AC p. 66).  

If you would like a detailed instruction sheet to help you recreate this card, please send me a message and I will respond with a list of dimensions and product guide.
