Welcome, friends! 🌸 Today I’m joining the fun, Stamping With Friends, Cardmaking Blog Hop with a group of talented Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators who love to share creativity and inspiration. Each stop along the hop is filled with unique ideas, tips, and projects to spark your imagination.

If you’re following along the hop, you’ve just arrived from Lorraine Tierney, and I’m so glad you’re here! If you’re starting with me, be sure to hop all the way through so you don’t miss a single project—there’s inspiration waiting for you at every stop. So don't forget to leave a comment for each of the hoppers.

Grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let’s dive into some crafty fun! 

The theme this month is to create using design sketch #218 from the Sweet Sunday collection. I'm always challenged to create using sketches that don't provide measurements because I'm awful at guessing at what they could be.  In the corresponding video, I share with you my process...I hope you'll take a look!




Drum roll please...here's the card I created using the sketch as a guide. What do you think?


As promised, here are the measurements:

Base: A2 - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
Cardstock:
- Pretty Peacock: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
                             (2) 2 5/8" x 3 3/8"
(2) 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (one is for your focal image)
(1) 3/4" x 4 1/2"
(1) 3/4" X 4 1/8"
DSP: 3 3/4" x 5"





I hope you enjoyed this card and will give it a try. Please share your creations with me in my VIP stamping group

Hello, all! Thank you for joining me for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop! For those of you who are unfamiliar, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who share our love of card making with you through monthly blog hops with various themes.  This month, we are sharing with you sneak peeks from the January - June 2022 Mini Catalog.  If you've come from  Mo Rootes'  blog, then you saw her project using the  Stampin' Up! Simply Marbleous Designer Series Paper (DSP) . I hope these and the other projects serve to inspire your creativity.   Speaking of catalogs, if you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a catalog, reach out to me. I'd love to get one out to you and to serve as your demonstrator. For my contribution to this blog hop, I chose the "In the Moment" set. I fell in love with this set, "In The Moment", the moment I opened my order and saw it.  This was another of the FREE swag bag produc...

Stampin' with Friends Technique Blog Hop - Masking

By
Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is?

For this post, I chose to start with a simple spotlight masking technique. Let me show you how I created this card. Now I incorporated several other techniques (dry ...

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

By
Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
