Paper Craft Blog Hop - Mother's Day

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is products from the Last Chance List or Mother's Day; I get double points for combining the themes! Join the hop for inspiring projects showcasing Last Chance items and or Mother's Day!

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 Rauchfuss's blog. What a fabulous project she shared!

My project features the Hooray for Surprises stamp set and dies along with Friends of the Ocean designer series paper (DSP) - all found on the Last Chance List. I love the bright colors and patterns in this paper pack. And I love the deals the Last Chance list offers!

Hooray for Surprises stamp set #162851

Hooray for Surprises dies #162857

Friends of the Ocean #164684

I used the stamps and dies to cut a stamped floral heart and 2 hearts from Bubble Bath cardstock. This cute card was very easy to assemble! I added a few sparkly gems from the Last Chance Earth Tones Shimmer Gems for a bit of bling. The ribbon is a sneak peek from the upcoming 2025-2026 annual catalog.

Ocean Friends Thank You with Friends of the Ocean Paper Technique

 Hi friends!

I'm in a challenge to grow my YouTube channel by uploading a card tutorial every week. I hope you'll join me each week as I make progress toward my goal!

The paper technique card I made this week features products from the Friends of the Ocean suite found in Stampin' Up's January to April 2025 Mini catalog. 

Ocean Friends Stamp and Die Bundle #164692

Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (DSP) #164684

I created a bright, tropical thank you card with these items. I love the paper piercing details that the dies make on the coral and starfish die cuts!
