Simply She Stamps...: April 2022

Getting ready for GRADUATION season! This was a card featured on my first ever Card Buffet last weekend. I thought it would make a good graduation card, but it works for ANY kind of a pat on the back for a job well done!

The banner was made with the Hey Sports Fan Designer Series Paper and Sports Event Dies from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. Since I don't have the coordinating stamp set, Your Biggest Fan, I used the stamps from the February 2022 Paper Pumpkin Kit Safari Celebration. The stamps from the Batter Up past Paper Pumpkin kit would work great too! You can find a selection of past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills HERE.

The Hey Sports Fan DSP may not look it at first, but it is really versatile! The non-sporty sides and "B-sides" of the paper featuring Poppy Parade, Bumblebee, Night of Navy, and Evening Evergreen I think will work great for Disney Scrapbooking!

Crafting for a Cause

And recently we used the stripes and blue woodgrain sides to make cards for local veterans taking the Lake County Honor Flight to Washington DC. These Fox Lake Area Queens did a wonderful job writing messages of thanks and appreciation to these veterans!

Here are some more great ideas using the Hey Sports Fan Suite!

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Our April 2022 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world! Talented Demonstrators from all over the globe including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia are participating! You'll be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles! You may have arrived from Sue's Blog...I hope you were inspired by her project!

We are featuring projects using flowers this month. Below is the card that I created using the Forever Blossoms stamp set and coordinating Cherry Blossoms Dies, both from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. Unfortunately, the Forever Blossoms stamps are sold out, but the Cherry Blossoms Dies are available for just $18!

I used the bright and cheery Granny Apple Green Cardstock and Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon. The flowers were stamped in Soft Suede Classic Ink (stamped off first for a more subtle look) and then colored with Watercolor Pencils.

The stitching was created with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies and the Iridescent Rhinestones add a bit of sparkle. Scroll down to see all supplies used.

Because the stamps are now unavailable, you could always swap out another floral branch to recreate this card using the same design! A great option would be the Blessings of Home Bundle shown below.
