NEW AT SU-COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS & SENDING SMILES

 

This month on our New at SU Blog Hop we are trying something different-we are CASEing each other!!! Yup! This group of International independent demonstrators is featuring our own wonderful creations! 

If you are not aware, CASE means Copy And Share Everything!! We find a creation by one of our amazingly talented hop-mates and CASE it! I was given the wonderful Rachael Coon over at The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael to CASE!!! 

So here's her creation I decided to copy:

If you click on either picture it'll take you directly to her post! Or just simply find her amazing blog from the links down below!!!

Here's what I came up with:

You cans sign your name on the bottom/Parakeet Party!

I didn't have a gift card handy so I just used a piece of white paper to illustrate!

Now it's always nice to have a "plan" when creating! I loved this gift card holder that she came up with!!! Now when CASEing you can copy design, colors, layout, etc.-just about anything in the card you like! I liked the design here but I don't have the products she used! So I pulled out some of my favorite retiring products to feature for one last time! So sad!

The retiring stamp sets are Sending Smiles, Perennial Postage &        Countryside Corners. I'm trying to use up my retiring In-Colors too! Gonna miss this Parakeet Party so much!!! The dies used are Sending, Scalloped Corners and Countryside Corners (the only on-retiring product on the card!!!) Throw in some Basic Pearls colored with the matching Stampin' Blends & ya got a nice embellishment!!!!

So hope you enjoyed this CASE! I'm lovin' Rachael's blog & hope you do to! Be sure to visit it!!!! As well as the other blogs below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

PPP BLOG HOP-ALL THE LITTLE THINGS

 Happy Spring! And welcome to another edition of our                                       Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!!! This month's kit really shows "all the little things" that go with pretty spring crafting! Hope you enjoy our alternatives!!!

So here are the cards as designed in the kit:

Very pretty, right? They were tough to change up! But I did 3! Now if you follow this blog you know that when I do the alternatives I try to keep with the items in the kits. That way you can change things up without worrying about having all the extra supplies! Well, I did that with 2 of the cards this time. The third does use another stamp set! 

So the final one here used the Balmy Blue & White Ribbon Variegated Ribbon and the Sending Smiles bundle! I kind of got the idea from the alternatives shown on the directions sheet! Even Stampin' Up! gives you some ideas!

Please note: The leaves & flowers with all the blues & purples are actually shiny silver! lol No matter what I tried I couldn't get the color to tone down on the cards! So while these look very colorful-and they are in their own way-picture if you will the blues & purples as like a mirror/silver!!! lol

So I hope you enjoyed! Please hop over to
Darla's blog next & see her alternative design! Simply click on her name or the link below! And keep going!!! Enjoy & enjoy "all the little things" this spring brings!!!!

Happy Stampin'!
