Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Bloom Impressions Birthday Card

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme again is Sale-a-Bration, the best time of year where you earn free items on your qualifying orders. Are you ready for more inspiring projects showcasing Sale-a-Bration items?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Annette McMillan's blog. What an inspiring project!

My project features the colorful Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP). I love the bright floral patterns in this paper pack!

Bloom Impressions DSP #164944

I wanted to use as many of the floral patterns as possible in my project. I paired 4 pieces of the DSP with the Keeping Tabs stamp set to create a lovely birthday card. During Sale-a-Bration, if you purchase the Keeping Tabs stamp set punch bundle, Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and Coastal Cabana and Basic White cardstock packs used to create this card, you'll earn a Sale-a-Bration item and can get the DSP pack for free. Yay!

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Friendly Seagulls Fun Fold

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is Sale-a-Bration, the best time of year where you earn free items on your qualifying orders. Are you ready for inspiring projects showcasing Sale-a-Bration items?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Maureen's blog. Her project is wonderful!

My project features the fun Friendly Seagulls stamp set. I love the sassy seagulls in this set!

Friendly Seagulls #164961

The images in this set are super cute and I wanted to use as many as possible in my project. By using a flap fun fold, I was able to use 8 of the 12 stamps in the set to create this card. During Sale-a-Bration, if you purchase the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and the Stampin' Blends combo packs used to create this card, you'll earn a Sale-a-Bration item and can get this stamp set for free. Yay!

I stamped the seagull images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added color to the wings (Light Smoky Slate), beaks and feet (Light Calypso Coral) with Stampin' Blends markers. I outlined them with a Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend marker; it really made them pop! I fussy cut 2 boxes of fries after I colored them with Light Real Red and Light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends markers, then used to mini dimensionals to adhere both to the card flaps.

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Gold Peaceful Evergreens with Peaceful Season

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is Gold or Silver. Are you ready for some fabulous projects showcasing gold and silver?

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. You may have arrived from Julia Quinn's blog. What a wonderful project she shared!

I struggled with deciding on whether to go Team Gold or Team Silver. In the end, I pick gold as I wanted to incorporate Gold Foil I had on hand. Then I had to decide on a card to showcase it. Let me tell you the struggle was real!

I finally settled on remaking a card I created way back in October but changing out some items in favor of gold - my plan was to use gold foil and gold embossing. I started with the Peaceful Season stamp and die bundle and the Peaceful Evergreens stamp set.

Peaceful Season Stamp & Die Bundle #164021

Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set #164153

My orginal card was inspired by the cards samples shown in the Mini Catalog. This was the card I decided to remake, adding gold foil and gold embossing.

My orginal card

I replaced the Iridescent Striped Trim with gold foil that I embossed using the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder to give it a look of hammered gold nuggets. I heat embossed the tree image and the In The Air sentiment with gold embossing powder, then used the Gold Drusy adhesive-backed embellishments instead of the silver. And voila, my remade card with many touches of gold.

Team Gold card

What do you think? Are you a Team Gold fan? Leave me a comment sharing your thoughts on the gold touches I added to this card.
