Mother's Day Blog Hop

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 Mother's Day projects. I'm so glad the Places In The Heart stamp set is carrying over to the 23-24 Annual Catalog. It is such a beautiful and meaningful stamp set. 

I think this is a great card for a new mom to give to her mother/grandma knowing how they can appreciate the love their own mother gave raising them. However, a father could also give this card to a mom from their new/young child!!

Birthday Cards for my Birthday Month

Hello and welcome to my blog. April is my Birthday month which I share with lots of my friends and family. I thought I'd share a few Birthday cards I made to send out. 

With the Annual Catalog retiring, I realized I had only used (1) of the cute images from the Glad We're Friends set which is retiring. This little god with fan blowing at him is so cute. The Growing Old sentiment is sort of my mantra as I rarely 'act my age' - LOL

The 2023 Jan- April Mini catalog is also retiring. My favorite Fancy Flors Designer Series paper has come in handy to make lots of cards this spring. I made this Birthday card using a sketch that mixes up paper sizes and designs from the same pack of DSP; a great way to use up your DSP. (details noted for card #2 above)

Here's another example using different designs from the Fancy Flora DSP, Night of Navy card base & ink and a different sentiment made during my Spring Fling Card class. Such a versatile paper and Bundle 

Speaking of the retiring catalogs, don’t forget about the Last Chance Lists. Items above listed 'available' were at the time I wrote the post (4/7)

#DOswts408 Sketch 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 is based on the below sketch.

 I decided to play with a retiring set, A Little Cheesy. I made the strips 3/4" x 6", adhered them to a basic white layer and then trimmed them off the side of the layer. Another option is to make the strips 1/2" and add a 3/4" layer of card stock behind them. I'm also using retiring color Rich Razzleberry. I think the returning in-color Berry Burst will be a nice replacement for Razzleberry. 

Wine & Cheese go so well together, I just had to decorate the inside with the cheese image and related sentiment. I used another retiring color, Mango Melody. 

I decided not to use any other embellishments as the card seemed 'busy' enough as designed. 

Card Details

• Stamps
• A Little Cheesy 
• Paper
• Rich Razzleberry Card Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score 4 1/4
• Basic White: Layer 3 3/4 x 5; 4 x 5 1/4 inside layer ; scrap for sentiment 
• Regals Collection Desginer Series Paper: 5 1/4 x 4 coordinating layer, (3) - 3/4 x 6 strips of differing patterns
• Ink
• Rich Razzleberry - sentiment and blending behind the sentiment to help it pop
• Mango Melody (inside images/sentiment)
• Blackberry Bliss Light blending pen to color 'wine'
• Other 
• Adhesives: Seal, Multipurpose glue, Dimensionals

Now Let's dig into more collaborative fun. Grab a beverage, sit back, and enjoy the hop! I hope you find awesome ideas and inspiration to make cards of your own.

Don’t forget to check the Last Chance Lists for items you may want to pick up: 

Sadly, the stamp set and colors I used are already out of stock, except Mango Melody Card Stock and ink refill.
