Optional Theme : Favorite Patterns

Favorite pattern? Sort of difficult for me as several Designer Series Papers are my favorite patterns!

I just picked one! The Happiness Blooms was the winner –

This is such a fun card! And, love the sentiment! It’s wonderful! It’s also a Sale-a-bration offer too.

I’d love to hear what you think about the card!

I’d also love to see you create a card using our sketch. You can join up at Try Stampin’ on Tuesday or link up on our Facebook page.

A Friend is Thinking of You

Happy Sunday! And, happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I ran across Sunday Stamps and their 200th sketch! Now, that’s something to celebrate!

These are my favorite kind of sketches, simple! I was immediately inspired!

Perfect for pulling out the Cat Punch! Again! And, one of my favorite Designer Series Papers, Happiness Blooms.

Adorable, right???

My inspiration is my own two cats! They are always in the oddest places looking in on me! Especially the newest one, Cranston.

Since I’ve become a cat person, this card will be very appropriate to send to any of my friends! Wouldn’t you agree?

Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop – Shades of Neutrals

March 16, 2019 · 4 Comments

Welcome to the first of two blog hops for me!

This first one is my standing Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features shades of neutral colors.

Perfect time to play with the Sale-a-bration Country Floral Embossing folder and try a new to me technique –

This Country Floral Embossing folder has been very popular lately! And, you can earn it free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! (USD) order. Additionally, it will be in the next catalog too! Yay!!!

Ok, let’s talk about my card!

How did I do this? I took the side of the folder, the one markers with the Stampin’ Up! logo, and inked it up with a white ink pad. I placed Crumb Cake card stock on the other side (the non-inked side) of the folder closed it. I ran it through the Big Shot and the ink transferred to parts of the pattern!

I decorated the card using another Sale-a-bration stamp set, Part of My Story. I love this sentiment! So many others inspire us – we should let them know!

It’s punched with a Sale-a-bration coordination punch, Story Label. I hope this item will be in the new catalog! It’s also a great item. Currently, it’s available until the end of March.

I finished off the card with a strip of Soft Suede and the 3/16 Braided Linen Trim.

Quite a simple card that hits all the neutral points!

Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great neutral inspirations for us all!
