INSPIRE, CREATE, SHARE BLOG HOP-ADORNING HEARTS

Hello "lovelies"!! Welcome to this month's Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop! We are featuring "love" for ya! All kinds of love-Valentines, anniversary, wedding-whatever! Hope you are feeling "loved" after hopping through our Stampin' Up! independent demonstrators!!!! (heehee)

Here's my card:

So I went with a card that could be used for just about any of the occasions listed above-and then some! This Adorning Hearts bundle is so much fun!!! I have had a blast creating crazy Valentine's cards for my grandkids, but I wanted to take a break from the red & do something that would be good for an "older kid"! lol 

I pulled out the Poetic Expressions DSP and used the colors as my inspiration! Now the golds are not really the same, but I don't think it distracts.  

The lovely gold leaf heart and the sentiment are stamped using the            Adorning Hearts stamp set and then embossed with Gold Embossing powder! The little pink heart is die cut using the Adorning Hearts Dies! 

The lovely background shape is cut using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies! I love how they have the really cool stitching along the edges! The                     Distressed Gold 12x12 Specialty DSP really adds to the elegance of the card. 

It is finished off with a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

I love how this came out! I do have a wedding we will be attending in a couple of months, so I think this will have a home!

Tricia is up next!!! Now hop over to her blog by clicking on her name here or the icon below! Then keep hopping! You're sure to feel the "love"!!!                      Happy Valentine's Day 💕 btw!!!

PAPER PUMPKIN POSSIBILITIES BLOG HOP-LOVELY LAVENDER

 Welcome to our monthly Paper Pumpkin blog hop where we share all kinds of alternatives to the amazing kits! One of the things we love the most about   Stampin' Up! is the flexibility, and here we love to share ideas for you to explore that too!

Here are the cards as designed in the kit:

Here are my cards:

A little cleaner & simpler version-stamped sentiment, more white space.

This one actually uses one of the tags as part of an actual card!

I tried hard to stick with my general rule of using only what's included in the kit. I know this kit has the most amazing suite of products that coordinate in the       Spring Mini Catalog, but these kits are designed for on-the-go fun with minimal supplies! So I try to give you ideas that use the kit materials only. So basically it's the same materials just a different design. 

 I did 2 this time because there are so many easy options with this beautiful kit! And I do mean beautiful!!! The Lovely Lavender suite is just beautiful, so if you are able, I highly recommend you add it to your collection! But if not, this               Paper Pumpkin kit stands wonderfully on its own!!!  So pretty!!!

Please check out the other blogs on our hop for even more ideas! They are listed below! I know many used the materials in the suite so if you have that, you'll get some extra great ideas!!!!

Happy Stampin'!!!!

ICS-WELL SAID

Hello hoppers! Welcome to the "Love"ly Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!! This month is traditionally the month of love!! So that's what you'll get here-all about the love!!!  Some will be Valentine's Day, maybe some for wedding, anniversary or just simply "I love you" cards! Of course we will be featuring some new products from our Occasions & Sale-A-Bration Catalogs!!!

Here's mine:

So my card will be a Valentine for my hubby! We're kinda "non-trad"-no big hearts & such! He's a real outdoors, woodsy kinda guy, so I struggle sometimes with cards for him. This one has a few more flourishes than he normally would like, lol, but I think he'll really like the details in this one!!!

There is very little stamping here!!! The beautiful Buffalo Check stamp set created the background! We have some great little 6x6 DSP in the 

SAB Catalog, but the colors were not quite right for this card.  So perfect for spring tho! I've always been a fan of the checks, even before that stamp came out! So when it did, OOOOOH baby!!! lol

The pretty little flowers & the "love" are cut from the Well Written Framelits. What a set that is!!! Oh my! So many beautiful words & shapes!!! It coordinates so nicely with the Well Said stamp set! It is the "you" here!

The love & hearts & flowers are cut from the ah-mazing Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheet from the SAB Catalog! They come with Grapefruit Grove sheets too! So pretty!!!

Other items used are Old Olive Linen Thread, Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon, Dog Builder Punch (the little hearts)!

Hope you like & feel loved now! lol   Head over to Terri's blog & see how pretty her creation is!!! You can get there by clicking her name or the icon below! 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Stampin'!!!

ICS-ITS A LOVE THING!

Happy February! Which means we are into the month of "love"!!! 

Valentine's Day!!!! Join us on our "Love Thing" 

Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop 

this month & get some good ideas for cards for your special someone!!!!

Here's my card this month:

I really wanted to feature 2 things from the amazing new Love Blossoms Product Suite in the super Occasions Catalog: the Bloomin' Hearts Thinlets Die and the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit, That amazing little kit has everything you need to make not only a great Valentine's card, but also spring or Mother's Day card as well!!!

The sentiment is stamped from the Bloomin' Love Photopolymer stamp set!!! That gorgeous paper is from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack.

And when you use our new Precision Base Plate, originally featured in the recent Holiday Catalog with the new Big Shot Die Brush-introduced in the Occasions Catalog-to remove all the little thingys that hang our after an intricate cut, it makes these special dies a breeze to work with!!! This tool is so worth the try!! It makes these fancy thinlets easy!!!!

By the way, like our new blog buttons?? I think they are so cute & springy!  Be sure to look for them on each blog on this hop!!! Be the first to click on one & go to the next person!!!!! Until next time!!!
