Two Sale-A-Bration Items January Blog Hop

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Welcome to our January 2023 Blog Hop featuring two products from the 2023 Stampin' Up!® Sale-A-Bration catalog. I will be featuring the Dainty Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (DSP) (earn this product when you spend $60) and the Beautifully Happy Photopolymer Stamp Set(earn this product when you spend $120).

I LOVE this card! It is the perfect blend of simplicity and beauty! Fresh Freesia is a wonderful colour that I am secretly hoping Stampin' Up! will retain as a colour beyond this year.

Also, the Dainty Flowers DSP from the 2023 Sale-A-Bration catalog is absolutely GORGEOUS! I actually used 2 of the DSPs. One for the belly band behind the stamped image and the matte behind the stamped image.

The stamped image is from the Beautifully Happy stamp set. I love that you can choose to colour the images or use the stamp!

Fitting Florets Meets Bough of Holly November Blog Hop

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Welcome to the November 2022 Blog Hop where we are featuring a special card sketch challenge as seen below.

I combined the Boughs of Holly Suite with the Fitting Florets Suite and I think it worked beautifully!

I coloured the berries with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend marker. The holly leaves in the frames were cut from the Gold foil paper, Evening Evergreen cardstock and Gold Glimmer paper using the Leaves of Holly dies. The berries were cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

On the inside of the card I used a mask over the berries to nest them in the holly leaves. Below are the measurements to make this beautiful card.
