Father's Day 2021 Blog Hop


Father's day in the US is just around the corner and here before you know it. Dad deserves at least  home made card thanking him for all he does. I chose the new Evening Evergreen In-Color for this card base. setting it off is a 3" x 3 3/4" layer of Soft Succulent, another In-Color. Then a  4 1/4" x 3" layer of In- Color Designer Series paper,  

I added a die cut from the Forever  Flourishing dies with Sahara Sand card stock, adhered with glue dots. The 4 " x 3/4" tag is punched with the Lovely Labels punch and stamped with the Father's day sentiment form the Best Year set adhered over the die cut with dimensional.  



I added embellishments on the sentiment tag to finish off the look. A layer of white is added inside so you can write a nice note to you father. 

I hope this inspires you to create your own father's day card. I encourage you to "Hop" along and see the rest of the projects celebrating Father's Day!

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop May 2021 Hop: DIY Creative Background

 

Hello and Welcome to the Monthly Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop. This month's DIY Creative Background was selected by Delys Cram, Member of the Design Team. I do not typically do a lot of my own backgrounds, allowing the paper, photos and embellishments to work the magic. This is why I love the challenges this group puts together, it encourages me to create outside my comfort zone.  


I recently received my order with the Artistically Inked Bundle ad Expressions in Ink Designer Series paper, an absolutely gorgeous set. I knew I wanted to work with this bundle. My granddaughter turned one in March and with a great set of cute photos, I also knew I would do this page for her. Lot's of pink involved, so I turned to the new Polished Pink In-Color as my main color on the page. 


The faux water color stamp in the Artistically Inked stamp set really creates the look of water color. I stamped several images in each corner using the softer Blushing Bride ink. I added some dots to the background in Polished Pink. I die cut the detailed large floral image in basic white and used it as a stencil. With my blending brushes, I blended Polished Pink on the large flower, Blushing Bride on the small flower, Granny Apple Green on the leaves and Daffodil Delight on some of the smallest images. I used this in the lowere middle area as this was a main gap between some of the photos in the layout.


I now took that stencil that was colored from the blending brushes and adhered it to the top left corner. Using the Rainbow Glimmer paper, I die cut another floral and laid it over the lowered stenciled area to give it some depth. 

To highlight the photos with some layers, I used cards from the What a Year Memories and More card pack. The colors worked so well and most I just cropped what I needed. I also used the Alphabet Dies to cut my granddaughters name in Rainbow Glimmer paper. Lastly, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment to the heading in the right corner. 


The Polished Pink went so well with the colors in the photos. I just love how this turned out. Due to Covid restrictions where my daughter lives, I was not able to be with her family for this birthday, but glad I could feel a part of the day by memorializing the photos. 

I hope this layout inspired you to think outside of the box when creating a background for your page. When you have great photos to scrap, it makes it easy.

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Graduation Theme


Welcome to today's Blog hop. May does get us thinking about the Grad's in our life and how to celebrate their accomplishments. It just so happened my card class, scheduled this Saturday, will be making graduation cards. 

I don't have much for stamp sets with graduation themes in them, particularly of current products, so I turned to Pinterest for some ideas and landed on using my Playful Alphabet die cuts. TIP: apply your cardstock to adhesive sheets, then the letters for die cutting. Adhesive Sheets make it much easier to adhere the letters to the card. Additionally I used a ruler to make sure they were lined up straight. The 'dots' on the paper helped a lot. 


Not knowing specifics about school colors, I decided to keep it black and white. I also love to use Slimline cards when I know it is likely money will be the gift. Card base measures 7" x 8 1/2", scored at 3 1/2". The sentiment is from the Best Year Stamp set, and I used the  circle layering dies from Tasteful Label Dies, one of my favorite, more versatile die sets. 

The graduation cap is made using the Tailored Tag and Elegant Tag Punch. Carol B Crafts has a great video on how to make the cap using the Tailored Tag punch Click here to view  I decided instead of free cutting the lower part of the cap, I'd use the bottom element of the tailored tag punch to make a more clean curved line. I did end up punching it twice. Tip is to attach a narrow strip of cardstock to the punch tag to make it easy to insert into the punch You can use either way. Here are the photo samples 




I added embellishments of ribbon behind the sentiment and gilded gems to finish off the look of the graduation cap. I'm really pleased with how the cards turned out and hope it inspires you to create your own graduation card. 

I encourage you to "Hop" along and see the rest of the projects celebrating graduations!
