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.

Retiring - Daffodil Daydream with So Saffron Color

Hi friends!

I'm wishing farewell to products retiring from Stampin' Up's 2022-2023 Annual catalog as well as those retiring from the Jan to April 2023 Mini catalog. Many items from these catalogs are on sale up, some up to 60% off! Click here to shop my online store and the Last Chance Sale.

Today, I'm featuring the retiring Daffodil Daydream stamp set and it's coordinating Daffodil dies which I paired with the also retiring So Saffron cardstock embossed with the retiring Brick & Mortar - one of my go-to embossing folders. I'm going to miss it! 

I tried my hand at a lattice fun fold card. I think this is the perfect stamp set for a lattice card!

Daffodil Daydream stamp set #157786

Dafffodil dies #157794

I used Mango Melody ink with the border image from the stamp set as well as the small dots to add texture and color. The butterfly die cut as well as the Brushed Brass Butterfly highlights the spring vibe.

Daffodil Daydream Lattice Card

I changed it up a little and turned this card into a Mother's Day card by using the greeting in the Daffodil Daydream stamp set.

Which design do you prefer? Mother's Day or Happy Birthday? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks!

Final Easter Card Mash Up - Daffodil Daydream with Paper Blooms DSP

 Hi friends!

It's the final Easter card mash up! I hoped you enjoyed this mash up as much as I did!

Daffodil Daydream stamp set is mashed up with the retired Paper Blooms designer series paper (DSP). 

Daffodil Daydream #157786

Paper Blooms DSP (retired)

This card is mainly monochromatic Pear Pizzazz with a pop of Pale Papaya and Basic Black. I think it would also work well as a Mother's Day card - the Daffodil Daydream includes a Happy Mother's Day stamp. So here's your chance to make 2 cards for 2 different occasions with a single stamp set!

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Thinking of You

Hello friends!

Welcome to our April Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop focusing on products for celebrating the women in your life. If you arrived from Sandy Ward's blog, you saw her wonderful Bloom By Bloom project!

My "girly" project is a 2-fer...a card with a small gift box, both featuring Highland Heather cardstock; the floral card features Highland Heather Gingham Gala designer series paper (DSP) and the gift box, a mini pizza box, is just the right size for a gift card or other small gift.

Are you a fan of the Highland Heather color? I'd love to hear what your favorite color of the moment it is. Leave me a comment and let me know what color you're currently favoring. As you see below, Highland Heather is a current go-to for me!

Incredible Like You and Rooted in Nature card
Highland Heather cardstock (cs) 5.5 x 8.5"
White cs, 2.75 x 2.75 stitched square, 3 x 4", and 4 x 5.25" (inside)

The inspiration for this card came from Liz Miller; click here see her card and blog post.

Although I used several retired items to create my mini gift box, there are many current products that can be used to create a similar project--and I've listed them below. This little box came together surprising fast!
