Hand-Penned with Brilliant Wings

My project was inspired when I wanted to take small treats to a gathering I was invited to with a few friends. I started with one of my current favorite designer series papers (DSP), Hand-Penned, then added in coordinating cardstocks. Everyone loved these cute treats!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Masculine Soaring Confidently

Hi friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month the men in our lives are the inspiration for the projects we are sharing. These projects were created by talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Sue Boerner's blog. I love her Sailing Home project!

My project features the Soar Confidently stamp set. This is a versatile stamp set! Perfect for masculine cards and fabulous graduation cards, too!

The sentiments in the stamp set are perfect for any male in your life, whether to point how wonderful they are or to wish a Happy Father's Day.

My card was inspired by France Martin's Soar Confidently stamp set tutorial. She shared great tips for creating a water color background. Her tips are easy to follow - just check out my background! My water color background was created with Crumb Cake ink; I stamped the plane and sentiment on the front with Early Espresso ink.

To add interest, I flicked ink from an Early Espresso marker creating a distressed look.

I stamped the plane image on the inside of the card in crumb cake. I like decorating the inside of cards as well as the outside. I figure I already have the stamps and ink out, so why not. And it's easy! What are your thoughts on decorating the inside? I'd love to hear your thoughts, please leave comment!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Beautiful & Fun Designer Series Paper (DSP)

Hi friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects that feature designer series paper (DSP). These projects were created by talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we share projects with various design styles. You may have arrived from Sue Boerner's blog. What a great project!

My project features the You're a Peach DSP paired with the coordinating Sweet as a Peach bundle. I love the You're a Peach DSP! The colors are lovely and the designs have a juicy, summery feel, perfect for birthday cards, thank you notes, or wishing someone a peachy day 😊

You're a Peach DSP

Sweet as a Peach bundle

My card uses two patterns from the yummy You're a Peach DSP pack - stripes and baby peach images. So cute! I repeated the colors in the DSP, using Calypso Coral cardstock for my card base and a Stitched so Sweetly die-cut in White.

For the peach die cuts, I used the new In Color, Pale Papaya card stock, for the peach bodies and Old Olive card stock for the leaves and stems. The peach stamp was inked with Pale Papaya then the edges were daubed with Calypso Coral before stamping on the card stock; the leaves and stems were stamped using Old Olive ink. I went over the stems with a Soft Suede marker to darken them.

I love eating ripe, juicy peaches in summer! They are a real summer-time treat. What is your favorite summer fruit? Please leave me a comment sharing your fav. Thanks!
