Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Farewells to Retiring Dragonfly Garden



Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The hop this month features products retiring from the the Annual Catalog or the January through April 2023 Mini Catalog.

This month, each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created an inspiring project featuring their favorite bundle. You may have arrived from Krissi Hannahs' blog. Her project is wonderful!

My project features the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is retiring from the Annual catalog as well as designer series paper (DSP) that is retiring from the Jan - April Mini catalog.
Dragonfly Garden #154411

Enjoy the Journey 12 x 12" DSP #160586

I paired the Enjoy the Journey coastal cabana DSP pattern with cardstock in the same color then layered the DSP with Bermuda Bay cardstock - a retiring color.


This quick and easy card really highlights the beautiful dragonfly images in the Dragonfly Garden stamp set. I added some interest by using the coordinating Dragonflies punch to punch the stamped dragonfly image and give it vellum wings. I colored the dragonfly with bermuda bay blends - also retiring- before adhering the wings and popping it up with dimensionals.

The sentiment comes from another retiring stamp set, Beauty of Friendship, stamped with retiring bermuda bay ink. For embellishments, I added retiring Pastel Pearls to the dragonfly (which also covers the glue dot adhering the wings) and my favorite Iridescent Rhinestones.


Thank you for hopping around the world with us. Keep hopping to see even more inspiring cards featuring retiring products. Click on the Next Blog to continue the hop.

VLOG Hop - Dragonfly Garden with Gilded Leafing and Water Color Background

Hi friends!

I'm participating in a Video Blog Hop (VLOG) today. The participants in this Global SU Share Fair VLOG Hop are located across the globe in Ireland, UK, and US. We are sharing videos showing how we each created our fun projects featuring Stampin' Up! items.

Dragonfly Garden with Gilded Leafing and water color background

My project features the lovely Dragonfly Garden bundle. I love its summery floral images and beautiful dragonflies. I used stamped images as well as a punched dragonfly punched with the coordinating Dragonflies punch from the bundle. My video shares how to create a lovely water color background and add elegant gilded leafing to create a special Thank You card.
