Paper Crafting Blog Hop - For the Guys

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The May 2021 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!  Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles!  You may have arrived from Nancy's blog.  What a fabulous project she had!

Our theme this month is Thinking of You Guys. Below is my card that I created with the Beauty of Friendship stamp set and coordinating Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.  Although most of the papers have an autumnal feel, I think I was able to achieve somewhat of a springtime look here.

Can you see the "hellos" in many languages which were created with the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders?  I always love multilingual stamps and accessories!  Be sure to scroll down to see the supplies used.

I thought it would be nice to have a matching HELLO sentiment option too!  

Which one do you prefer?

You can watch me put this card together in the video below.

CASE-ing with Pattern Party DSP!

Working full-time doesn't always leave a lot of time to create my own design.  That's where CASE-ing the catalog comes in!  Pick a sample from the catalog and then Copy And Selectively Edit!  These were the two cards I re-created on this week's Facebook Live video.  You can watch the replay below.

I absolutely love the Host Pattern Party Designer Series Paper!  I noticed it right away the first time looking through the catalog samples.  You can't purchase this set of 48 sheets of DSP...it is only available as a Host Reward!  Watch the video to see the flip side of the papers...the photo in the catalog doesn't do it justice!  Vibrant colors on one side and Black & White patterns on the other!

When the Bouquet of Hope February Paper Pumpkin Kit was revealed, it was the perfect opportunity to offer this kit as a fundraising event for Bright Pink. I learned about Bright Pink through my fraternity Zeta Tau Alpha’s philanthropy as we partner to educate our communities about breast cancer prevention and early detection. 

I will be donating $5 to Bright Pink for every Bouquet of Hope kit purchased!
