ICS BLOG HOP-FABULOUS FRAMELITS

Welcome to the August 2016 edition of the 

Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!

We are glad you are joining us!  This month we are featuring some of the amazing Framelits that we have available in our catalogs for you!  It works perfectly with my Framelit Week!  So keep hopping around & get some great ideas!!

Here's my Framelit card:

This was such a fun little card to make! Very easy actually! I used the popular Swirly Scribbles Thinlets here with the coordinating stamp set Swirly Bird!  I wasn't sure about this one when I first saw it in the catalog, but I've had so much fun with it!

The DSP behind the swirly ocean waves is the  

By the Shore Designer Series Paper! I have used that for so many different occasions! I love it here!

The Silver Glimmer Paper add just the right touch of bling for my card! You know how I love my bling! I think they are supposed to be flowers, but together they make cute clouds! And watch out for that "red hot sun"! lol

The sentiment is made using the Labeler Alphabet! What a great versatile set that is!!!  And since it's photopolymer it's easy to line up for whatever words you feel like making!  I figure this card can be used for pretty much any occasion!  

It's all finished off with a twist of the Linen Thread!  Such a great "ribbon" accessory! I use it way more than anybody should! lol I thought it worked well with these nautical colors!

So I wish I could sail away on that little sailboat!!! But you can sail on over to the Stamping Tammi blog!!! You can get there by clicking Tammi's name or the icon below! I know there will be a great creation there and many more if you continue on until "land ho"-you're back here!!

And check out my Monday & Friday posts for more Framelit posts for my Framelit Week! Eat your heart out sharks!!! lol

Happy Stampin'!

COLORING DOWN THE LINES!

Here's my card:

Here is the inspiration photo:

Here are the Stampin' Up! colors:

So I am so lovin' this super fun stamp set Mixed Drinks! It is perfect for summer cards! I also see some great holiday potential here too! But it's just fun! Everyone likes a good drink now & then-whether with or without an "adult" addition! lol

Believe it or not the DSP in the background is from the By the Shore pack! I love how it's designed to be "beachy" but here's proof it can be used for something completely different! Although these would be nice at the beach! lol  

The Washi Tape is from the Affectionately Yours collection. Again, designed to go with the florals but works great here! That Watermelon Wonder is one of my favorite colors! Even though it looks a bit darker here!

Of course the drinks & umbrella & bubbles are slathered with my               Wink of Stella, but it never seems to show up on the pictures!!! It's just enough bling to add that extra "umph"! But it's clearly there in real life! I guess you'll have to trust me on that! lol

Well now go have a summer drink & think of me! Happy summer!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!
