A Little Bling Goes a Long Way

Hello Stamping Friends,

This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing some great cards featuring bling. Who doesn't love a little (or a lot) of bling? I mean, I do, so that means everyone else does too, right?

I used the Artistically Inked stamp set for my card. When I saw this set in the new catalog, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. It's such a beautiful set. The coordinating designer series paper is also beautiful, although I didn't use it on my card this time.

I used 2021-2023 In-Colors designer paper under the flowers and greeting banner. for that extra pop of color. The ribbon isn't tied on to the banner it is just attached with adhesive and scrunched while putting it on. This makes a little bit of ribbon go a long way, but adds a great element to your card.

Here's a little close up, so you can see the bling. Isn't it great? And adds the perfect little touch to the finished card.

Don't forget there's still a few days left for the May host promotion, $250 in orders will earn you and extra $25 in host credit.

AND even better, join the Stampin' Up! team for just $99 and pick out $155 in product of your choice. Contact me today if you have any questions or need help.

Fathers Day Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

Father's Day is around the corner and today's blog hop will be perfect for you to get those creative juices flowing. Be sure to click the links below to keep hopping.

I didn't go with the traditional "Happy Fathers Day" sentiment on my card. I used a "Thinking of You" which would be perfect to send to a dad that doesn't live close by.

When you first look at this card, you may think it's just a regular card, but I promise you it is so much more than you think.  I used the Beauty of Friendship Bundle for this card. Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper is the bottom patterned paper that fold open.  I love the little rectangle for the saying, it's a perfect die-cut.

See! The patterned paper opens up on each side. It is attached between the last two layers. Isn't that so cool? I chose this particular paper for two reasons: the colors look like fallen leaves and then the back side looks like tree bark. Perfect, if I do say so myself. And the torn edge just adds another dimension and texture to the card.

There are three little birds on the tree and they can represent dad and two children or three children. Yep, I even thought about that. So, this is with both side open. And you may think that's it, but NOPE, I have more. Keep scrolling.

Look at this, the card opens even further so you can write a beautiful, sentimental message to dad and it will be hidden from others. I love how this turned out and hope you like it and find yourself inspired too.

Black, White, & a Pop of Color

Hello Stamping Friends,

Time for another great post with the Sisters in Stamping. I love this week's theme: black, white and a pop of color. It's always fun to create using this theme. Hope you enjoy my project and are inspired by it and the others too.

I used the great strawberry for my pop of color. It's a simple thank you card that you can easily make an entire set of rather quickly to give as a gift. Or better yet, change the greeting and make them for multiple occasions.

I used the new patterned party host designer series paper on this card. This pack of paper is fantastic. One side is bright and cheerful, while the other side is black and white. Great to use on so many projects.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more black and white with a pop of color inspiration.
