Our projects this month focus on Designer Series Paper...one of my absolute favs to create with! Below is the card that I created using the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper as a backdrop for the sentiment and images from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.

I also used my favorite embellishment...the Adhesive-Backed Seasonal Sequins from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.  I love the touch of gold with the black, white, and autumnal colors!

Paper-crafting Blog Hop - He's the Man

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! Our MAY 2022 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world...including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia!  Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles!  You may have arrived from Shirley's Blog...I hope you were inspired by her project!

We are featuring MASCULINE projects this month. Below is the card that I created using the new He's the Man Suite.  It includes the He's All That stamp set, All That Dies, (get both in the He's All That Bundle), He's the Man 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots. 

I love how the Specialty Paper has 2 die-cut sheets with images perfect for cards or scrapbooking!

And this is one of my favorite Card Maps to use to showcase Designer Series Paper.  Sometimes I just can't decide which pattern to use, so this layout is great because it uses FOUR!

1. plaid: 2" x 2-1/2"
2. BBQ: 3" x 2-1/4"
3. tweed: 2-1/2" x 1-1/2"
4. stripes: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"

And of course a BBQ restaurant gift card is the perfect gift inside of the card!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop -Forever Blossoms

 

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.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Turtle Friends

 

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The March 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.  What a great project she had!

We are featuring animals with coordinating punches this month. Below is the card that I created using the Turtle Friends stamp set and coordinating Turtle Punch, both from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

When I'm at a loss of where to start, I take a look at Designer Series Paper for color combos.  So I went to the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper Pack and chose the two patterns above because they reminded me of the turtle shell.  Pool Party, Misty Moonlight, Crushed Curry, and Granny Apple Green are the featured colors on those sheets.  I love this pack of paper because there are so many patterns and black & white on the back.  It is a Host Reward product, so it's only available until May 2.

I am notoriously late with birthday cards so this sentiment was a must-have in my craft room.  I stamped the turtle outline in Misty Moonlight ink onto Granny Apple Green cardstock and then added the shell detail in Granny Apple Green ink.  So easy to punch this lil' guy out with the Turtle Punch!  He is popped up with Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals are a perfect fit on his feet. The cute little clouds come from the Brilliant Rainbow Dies and the scalloped edge is from the Penned Flowers Dies.  The birthday banner is Crushed Curry cardstock punched on just one end with the Banners Pick A Punch.  Banners for sentiments are a great way to use up 1/2" scraps!

Pattern Party Designer Series Paper is easily overlooked!  

Check it out on page 171 of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!
