Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Nature's Prints

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our projects feature retiring items from either of the 2023-2024 Annual catalog or the January to April 2024 Mini catalog. These are known as the Last Chance items.

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

My project features the retiring Nature's Prints stamp set which I paired with the coordinating Fern 3D embossing folder. I used two easy techniques on this card to highlight the lovely textures and images in both. 

Nature's Prints #158793

Fern 3D Embossing Folder #158804

I swiped the Daffodil Delight ink pad on the Fern 3D embossing folder before embossing a piece of Basic White cardstock to highlight the marvelous fern textures. Before stamping the focal point on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, I pressed half of the H Block on the Daffodil Delight ink pad then turned the block and pressed the other half in the retiring Parakeet Party ink pad and lightly sprizted water on it using a Stampin' Spritzer before stamping the block onto the Very Vanilla cardstock. I let the cardstock dry before stamping the image on top in Memento Tuxedo Black.

Have you tried either of these techniques? Leave me a comment with your thoughts on these techniques.

Thank you for hopping around the world with us. Keep hopping to see even more inspiring cards.

Faux Linen Technique with Natures Prints Stamp Set & Natural Prints Dies - Bundle Bonus

Hi Friends!

I have another exciting Bundle Bonus to share with you! The April Bundle Bonus highlights bundles that are retiring from Stampin' Up's 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. I'm highlighting a technique using the retiring Nature's Prints bundle. 

One of the reasons I chose this bundle is that it's super versatile. You can make masculine cards, feminine cards and even gender neutral cards!

Are you wondering what the Bundle Bonus is? Let me tell you about this inspiring program! When you purchase the featured bundle from me, I provide a bonus - all the inspiration you need to create with your new bundle. You get a pdf with lots of inspiring projects my demonstrator friends and I have created using the bundle - and many of them come with video tutorials. The pdf includes project photos, supply lists and measurements for each project.

Nature's Prints Stamp & Die Bundle #158801

The faux linen technique is very easy and offers a great Wow factor! For my sample card I used Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss inks. The Blackberry Bliss ink was so juicy, it bled off as I created my faux linen panel as yu can see below. 

Mossy Meadow with Blackberry Bliss inks

In my video tutorial, I used Old Olive and Highland Heather inks. The inks didn't bleed and the faux linen look is more noticeable. Which version do you prefer? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks!

Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop - Forever Fern Thinking of You

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The theme of the hop this month is Thinking of You.

This month, each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created an inspiring project to send a thinking of you wish. You may have arrived from Tracy Held's blog. What a great design!

Forever Fern #152559

For this card, I wanted to use the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bright thinking of you card. Once I knew the color I would be using, it was easy to decide to use the 2022-2024 In Color designer series paper (DSP) to add a bit of interest. Sweet Sorbet is definitely a sweet color! Leave me a comment I'd love to see your thoughts on this In Color.

In Color 2022-2024 #159253

Starting with a stamp set and a color made it easy to create this bright and cheery thinking of you card.



I stamped with Sweet Sorbet ink onto the cardstock base of the same color and on white cardstock to create a focal piece. The thinking of you sentiment is from the Nature's Prints stamp set and is matted with Sweet Sorbet cardstock and adhered over a piece of woven ribbon that I frayed. Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems add a touch of bling.

Thank you for hopping around the world with us. Keep hopping to see even more inspiring thinking of you cards! Click on the Next Blog image below to go to Traci Gardner's blog.
