#DOswts412 - 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 had already fussy cut a bunch of characters from the Zoo Crew designer Series paper and have been wanting to use them in a project. Looking at the Tailor Made Tags Dies, the crocodile cut out fit perfect across the tag. Not to mention, I could incorporate the fun Lemon Lime Twist color and ribbon! 


This crocodile image makes me smile so it was easy to pick the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp. The Exposed Brick 3D embossing adds just enough texture to help the 'empty space' on the card. This card came together quickly using the layout of this sketch.

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 Stampin' Dreams topic using the new 2023-2025 In Colors. I've shared some projects using these new colors, so I decided to dig a bit deeper to find something unique. I found a project UK Demonstrator Kylie Henshaw made using rainbow colors. I figured I could make it using the 2023-2025 In Colors. 


The Crafting With You bundle has so many different crafting options to create with that I decided to use the needle point die cut for the needlepoint crafters in my life. I'm thrilled with how this turned out and know the person I have in mind to give this to will love it!

Technique Tuesday - June - Fun Fold cards

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 Technique Tuesday with the theme of Fun Folds. I'm creating a Joy Fold Fun Fold card, which is one of my favorite styles as it tends to showcase our great coordinating papers.


I'm working with the Coffee with Friends stamp set again because I wanted to use this larger image of the two women sitting on the bench. I decided not to color it because the papers have bright colors and frankly, I prefer not to color images if I don't have to. 


Below is a photo of the cris/cross opening of the fold. 

This reminds me so much of when I hang out with my girlfriends after a long walk together, catching up over coffee. We encourage each other in many different ways and I love them for that!

    • Coffee With Friends 
  • Paper
    • Petal Pink: Base Fold 9 3/4 x 4 1/4 score 5 1/2; inside fold 8 1/2 x 3 1/4 score 4 1/4

    • Inked Botanicals 6x6 Designer Series Paper: (3) designs: 4x3 top, 4 x 4 top base; 4 5/14 inside, + scrap for die cut circle layer under sentiment. 
  • Ink
    • Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (Staz On if using stampin' write markers to color)
