Blogging Friends Blog Hop – Anything But A Card

· 2 Comments

Hello! Happy Friday!

How about a hop to finish the week out?

Our theme this month is anything but a card.

Perfect timing! Every year I create a gratitude journal for my fall classes. Since this year is different with virtual classes, I created an adorable box of goodies from the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes –

And, inside is this years journal –

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment omitting the ‘you’ in the sentiment. Just another idea of why the Stamparatus is so worthy to be in your craft stash! 

Also in the box are four coordinating cards –

Each uses part of the same piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! And, actually I only used 1 sheet for the entire project! That is 6 items created from one 6″ x 6″ piece of pattern paper!! Wow!

I added both the leaves and die cut circles in Cajun Craze, as well as the Copper Foil ‘heart’ leaves to the projects. Added just a touch of elegance.

This turned into a lovely gift set to create! I think this will be a popular class this year! Wouldn’t you agree?

We have some wonderful ideas on our hop today! Check them out below!

Hello stampin’ friends!

I have a quick trio of cards today using up some of the cards I created for Friday. (I used a template from Dawn Olfchefske to create these.)

I used the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper for all of these cards.

Each has a different layout with the same sentiment.

I love the friendship greeting from the So Sentimental stamp set.

I used the Stitched Shaped Dies to cut them all out. Adding the Silver 3/8″ Metallic Edge Ribbon.

So simple and pretty!
