Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Valentine and Love Cards

Hi Friends!

Welcome to our monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop! This month our theme is Valentine's Day or Love. Join the hop for inspiring projects.

Each hop participant, talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, has created a paper craft project that will inspire you. If you found your way here from Tracy Held's blog, wasn't her project wonderful? Keep hopping for even more inspiring projects!

My project features the Modern Christmas Specialty designer series paper (DSP) which I paired with the Bee My Valentine stamp set and the Spotlight on Nature die set.

Bee my Valentine stamp set #162547

Spotlight on Nature Die set #163580

Modern Christmas Specialty DSP #165990

The star of this card is the gold accents from the Modern Christmas Specialty paper and circle die cuts with their decoarative edges. I think the stamp, dies, and DSP work well together! I colored a few rhinestomes with the Real Red Blends marker for a bit of bling and added Basic Beige ribbon.

VLOG One Sheet Wonder Sketch Challenge - It's All Sunshine & Rainbows!

Hi friends!

It's Video Blog Hop (VLOG) day! The participants in this Global SU Share Fair VLOG Hop are located across the globe. This month were holding a Sketch Challenge. Each of us took the challenge to create a project using the same sketch.

One Sheet Wonder Cutting Template

I started with the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 x 6" designer series paper (DSP). I love the bright and cheerful patterns. And even better it's free during sale-a-bration (SAB) with a qualifying order through February 28th! It's so versatile, too. Even though it coordinates with the Rainbow of Happiness bundle from the January - June Mini catalog, my projects use other bundles and stamps.

Sunshine & Rainbows DSP #158126

I made 3 cards - each for a different occasion - with the DSP pieces I cut using the One Sheet Wonder cutting template. 

The first card is a Valentine using the reverse side of the DSP which coordinated perfectly with the Love & Happiness bundle and its Bouquet of Love dies; the Always in My Heart stamp contributed the small stamped hearts on the front and greeting on the inside. Click here for a shopping list for this Valentine card.

Valentine card

My second card features another SAB item, the Friendly Hello stamp set part of the Friendly Hello stamp set and coordinating 12 x 12" DSP bundle; the stamp and DSP bundle can be earned for free with a qualifying order. I used the stamp set with the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP to make this quick and easy Friendship card. Click here for a shopping list for this Hello Friend card.

Friendly Hello card

My last card is a birthday card featuring the Awesome Otters stamp set which is also a SAB item. I just love the super cute otters! Click here for a shopping list for this Awesome Otters birthday card.

SU Global Blog Hop - Hearts & Kisses Floating card

Hi friends!

In August I participated in the Global SU Share Fair Facebook group live stamping event. I was one of 17 SU demonstrators from around the world who participated. Each demo also created a tutorial for her project which were consolidated into a PDF document containing all 17 projects.

Global SU Share Fair August 2020 tutorial bundle

We broadcast on Facebook in the Global SU Share Fair group about every other month; videos are available on replay if you miss the live stamping. There are over 100 stamping demonstration videos available on replay in this private Facebook group. The next live stamping day is scheduled for February 12th. Save the date for some amazing quick packaging ideas!

Each of the demos who participated in the August Share Fair have CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) a project from the August tutorials using different cardstock and designer series paper (DSP). Follow this blog hop and you'll see many fabulous projects. You may have arrived from Annette McMillan's blog -- her CASE project is wonderful!

In August, Jacqui Lawrence's Global SU Share Fair project was a floating card featuring the Gnome for the Holiday stamps and Plaid Tidings DSP.

Jacqui Lawrence's Floating Card

I CASE'd her tutorial to create a Valentine card using the Hearts & Kisses bundle and the sale-a-bration Oh So Ombre DSP.

I wanted to use the Sealed with a Kiss stamp from the bundle but it was too long to fit. So I stamped the words on a scrap and cut them apart before adhering them under the window.
