Crafty Challenge Blog Hop - March 2023 Color Challenge

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 Crafty Challenge projects. This month, members will make projects using the below color challenge. 

I'm working on making a stash of Mother's Day cards for my daughter to sell in her coffee shop that will open in early May. These colors lend themselves perfectly to the Daffodil Daydream stamp set and Daffodil Dies.

Isn't this a beautiful card? It is far more detail than I typically do, but the colors are just gorgeous. I CASE'd this card from Julie Davison switching it up for the colors from this challenge. Check out her blog link for details on how she made this card.  I give the measurements below

Ink & Share Scrapbook Hop - March 2023 "Joys of Spring"

Hello crafters!

It's the monthly scrapbook project with the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop group. We are a a global group of creators comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. The common goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

This month's theme is to create a scrapbook page "full of the joys of Spring". I also am participating in a monthly challenge that has Punch Art as a challenge, so I decided to add it to this layout. 

I struggle with creating punch art, so I went to Pinterest and found a flower someone made using circle punches. I don't have a current circle punch, so I decided to use the Decorative Circle punch which worked just as well! Close up of the flower is below. Here is a link to the person's blog with details on how to make it. http://gcdstudios.blogspot.com/2010/07/use-punch-to-punch-out-circles.html?m=0 

I turned to more punches to add more spring details to my layout. 

• Label me lovely: punched 3 different designs from the Design A Daydream designer series paper
• Daisy Punch: punch several using different designs from the same paper.
• Best Label punch: used for the numbers

The layout is very busy but screams of Spring!! I have not used the Decorative Border stamp set from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini catalog. I bought it for wedding related projects, but it worked well adding spring images to this layout. 

 Layout Details

• Stamps
• Decorative Borders 
• Alphabest Bundle 
• Biggest Wish 
• Paper
• Basic White 12 x 12 base + scraps for punched numbers

#DOswts407 - Retiring In Colors Inspiration Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. I am a member of the DO Stamper Stars team which is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefkse's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 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's feature project we'll be creating with the 2021-2023 In Colors that will retire with the annual catalog on May 1, 2023. Of the 5 colors, my favorite is the Evening Evergreen which pairs so well with the Soft Succulent. 

I'm working on creating Easter cards and chose the beautiful pack of 6x6 Fancy Flora Designer Series papers. A group of designs coordinate beautifully with the Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent In-colors. 

I saw the chocolate bunny used on some Easter cards and really liked the idea, so I added it to this one. It's a bit hard to see the ribbon, but it's a super cute touch in person. Having beautiful paper makes it so easy for great cards to come together quickly.
