Crafty Challenge - July 2023

 The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Crafty Challenge featuring projects made using the below elements. 
 

I decided to pull out the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks for the masking inspiration. A sentiment from the Good Feelings stamp set fit the "For You" qualification and my need for a wedding card. I chose Petal Pink from the subtle collection for my card stock, blending ink and ribbon. 

I like how the blending worked, although I would probably blend a bit lighter with the first layer. The new Nested Essential dies are a great addition to my die cut collection.

Scrapbooking Global - July 2023 - Grid Pattern Challenge

The Scrapbooking Global Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in a scrapbooking Blog Hop Theme, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today's challenge is brought to you by Julia Quin and we are using a Grid Pattern for our layout inspiration.

I've previously shared on my blog that my daughter bought a coffee shop in the community she lives in Canada. She had some photos taken that she uses in some of her social media marketing and on her website. I decided to print them and use them in this layout. 

I used the square die cut from the Stylish shapes dies to make each photo the same size in order to line it up to make the grid around the main photo. You can make out the stitching around the photo in the close up below.  

For the title I cut the letters out of one of the paper designs from the Delightfully Eclectic paper and adhered them with dimensionals on the backside design. I grabbed the 'Coffee' word die cut from the retired Nothing Better than dies and fussy cut the coffee cup images from the Coffee with Friends stamp set for a final touch.  I love how this page turned out and hope that my daughter will love it to. I plan to pit it in a frame to give to her to keep.

• Coffee With Friends

• Base 12 x 12 Layer: Earthen Elegance 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper

Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

Today features the monthly Stampin Dreams theme which for July is creating 'Summer Fun' projects. 

The Sunburst cards seemed to be all the rage lately. I love to use up scraps to make cards and have quite a few from my Inked Botanicals designer series paper. Searching on YouTube/Pinterest, I followed the general instructions from Stampin" Up! Demonstrator Megan Daves. Here is a link to her blog with video details for reference. 

I'm super pleased with how this turned out for my 1st time trying it. The sentiment from the Good Feelings Stamp set fits perfectly with this theme. The 2nd half of the sentiment is on the inside of the card (yes, I did cut this stamp sentiment) Adding the fussy cut of the meditating Sloth from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper added a final touch to make this card super fun! This card will brighten up anyone's day that need a little sunshine in their life.

• Paper
• Lost Lagoon card base: 11 x 4 1/4 score 5 1/2
