Paper Crafting Blog Hop – May, New Products!

3 Comments

Welcome to our May Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world featuring products from the new Annual Catalog. Here is a sneak peek of my card. Below my full card picture is a list of links to all of this month’s participating bloggers.

I love the Sweet Blooms stamp set (#165181) and the Sweet Blooms Dies (#165186) both a part of the Sweet Blooms Bundle (#165189) at a 10% savings. And they are a part of the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection (#165193). My card has a card base of Cloud Cover, a new 2025-2027 In Color with a piece of Florals in Bloom DSP (#165175).

A narrow strip of Secret Sea, another new 2025-2027 In Color peeks out from the left hand side of the DSP. Secret Sea ink was used for the branch and the stamped words. Lovely was dies cut from Petal Pink. A quick easy card!

Thanks for hopping with us this month. Next go to –> Terri’s blog to see what she has created.

–  1 @ 3-1/2 x 4, score at 2 on the long side, attach on the outside flap of the card base, putting the fold over the edge of the card base BEFORE adding DSP

Coordinating Colored Card Stock:

One of the new 2025-2027 InColors is Strawberry Slush. Here is how it looks with 2 current colors (top) and 2 retired colors (bottom). Do you like it? I think it is a beautiful medium pink! We last saw Strawberry Slush as a 2013-2015 In Color! Do you remember it?
