Welcome to our April Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products on the Last Chance List and/or Mother’s Day! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

I love the Hot Air Balloon stamp set (#162748) and the Hot Air Balloon Dies (#162754) both on the Last Chance List. They remind me of our trip to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta! My card base is Daffodil Delight, with a layer of Blueberry Bushel, and a layer of Basic White.

I stamped the Old Olive & Daffodil Delight balloon on the layer along with the Pecan Pie basket. I stamped the Blueberry Bushel & Daffodil Delight Balloon on a scrap as well as the Poppy Parade & Daffodil Delight. A die cut basket is popped up under that basket. The clouds were die cut and then sponged on the edges with Blueberry Bushel. I finished the card with the sentiment stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708).

Paper Crafting Blog Hop January – April Mini Catalog!

March 19, 2025March 19, 20253 Comments

Welcome to our March Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products from the January – April Mini-Catalog! Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

I love the simplicity and versatility of the Bright Borders stamp set (#164753) and the To The Point Label punch (#164568) from the January-April Mini Catalog. My card base is Balmy Blue, with a 3 strips of Floral Delight DSP (#164700) measuring 1-1/8″ x 5″ layered on Old Olive strips (1-1/4 ” x 5-1/8″). This gorgeous DSP is a part of the Floral Delight Suite (#164716) and you have strips leftover if you already cut 6 pieces of DSP at 4″ x 5-1/4″ for other cards. Great way to use up scraps!

Next I stamped the Bright Border stamp in Old Olive on Basic White and colored in the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Markers. The label is popped up on Dimensionals (#104430). A bow of Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon (#164715) and a Tiny Bee Trinket (#164714) complete my card. ?demoid=84648
