Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Archives - Libby Fens, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!

Our theme this week features what summertime means to us in card form!

Ohhhh, I’m going to have to play this one up. Summers are hot, humid, and sticky here, lol!

But, what comes to mind are birthdays! Mine, and my moms are this mom, just days apart! So, I went with a sweet birthday card –

Sweet? How about gorgeous??

So many Designer Series Papers are on sale, I made one of those my focal point. Here, I used the Hand-Penned Petals –

It is soft, floraly, and reminds me of summer!

I used a 3 3/4″ x 5″ piece of it. I just cut it a few times, flipping it to show both sides on the card!

The sentiment from the Welcoming Window was just perfect for this card! And the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch was a nice touch for punch it out.

I added a couple of details to take this to the next level, the Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon, then the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Here is our latest tw0-week challenge –

These are the sweet cards I made –

I made two, yes, two. Because…..because I couldn’t find my acetate for the window part of the card!

But, I did, then made this –

……with a window –

So cool!

I started with the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper for both cards!

I used different patterns of paper for each card.

I used my favorite Biggest Wish stamp set too –

Perfect pair I’d say!

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. Make a card with or without a window, or make both! Lol!

We all use a variety of products, so come join us with what supplies you have! All of our challenges are two weeks long.
