March 15, 2023March 15, 20238 Comments

Welcome to our March Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects featuring their favorite bundle! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Brewed For You Bundle (#159093)! It is one of the first bundles I bought from this annual catalog. The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of He’s The Man DSP (#159068). I added a 2″ strip and a 1″ strip from the same DSP pack. The beer glasses and jug were stamped in Memento Black on Very Vanilla. Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry filled them up! The glasses sit on an oval of Early Espresso punched with the Double Oval Punch (#154242). The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso on a scrap of Very Vanilla and the end punched with the Banners Pick a Punch (#153608). Three gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (#156506) complete my card.

Welcome to our March Blog Waddle! We are featuring cards from the Annual Catalog this month!!

I picked the Pansy Patch bundle (#155674) for my project. It is such a sweet bundle! The card base is Highland Heather with a Basic White layer. The Soft Succulent In-Color DSP (#159254) is cut with the largest retired Seasonal Layers Die adhered to the layer. The pansy and flowers were die cut with the Pansy Dies (#155680) in Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heater, Soft Succlent, Evening Evergreen, Basic White and Daffodil Delight, and then pieced together. The die is hole-punched and a piece of Soft Succulent Ribbon (#155780) is tied with a piece of White Baker’s Twine (#155475). The sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) was stamped in Highland Heather. Three pearls from the Pastel Pearls (#154571) completed my card!

Welcome to our November Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator is creating Thank You cards. You may have arrived here from Shirley’s blog. Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers.

My card features the Forever Fern cling stamp set (#152559)! The card base is Basic White with a layer of Blackberry Bliss and another layer of Basic White. On the top Basic White layer, I stamped branches in Blackberry Bliss, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, and Sahara Sand. Sahara Sand splatters completed my stamping. Then I die cut some pieces from the Forever Flourishing Dies (#152714) in Gold Foil (#132622). I die cut a circle in Blackberry Bliss using the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) and heat embossed the sentiment from Flowers of Friendship cling stamp set (#155358) in white from the Basic Embossing Powders (#155554). A piece of Sahara Sand Twill ribbon from the Combo Pack (#158955) tucked behind the sentiment completed my card.
