ICS Blog Hop Apron of Love

April 4, 2018March 28, 201823 Comments

Welcome to the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop featuring It’s a Girl Thing themes. I hope you are enjoying our stops. We have great projects to share with you!

I picked the Apron of Love bundle to create a hand stamped greeting card because it reminds me of my Grandma. The next supply to pluck from my stash was the Delightful Daisy designer series paper. I wanted a bright design so opted for daffodil delight cardstock for the card base and apron. One of the framelits look like lace so I repeated that design by using a white delicate doilie as a layer behind the apron.

Our silver foil sheets provide the sturdiness needed for the utensils. We carry copper and gold foil sheets too. Tucked behind the doilie is a 3×3 inch old olive cardstock. There was a strip of daffodil delight cardstock left after cutting a few aprons so it was tucked behind the old olive piece.

Grandma would visit for a month at a time. She would wear an apron when in the kitchen making a batch of chicken and dumplings. I remember the over the head style with ruffles she would wear at her house to protect her clothes. Grandma is remembered for her coffee cakes too.

I hope you are enjoying our It’s a Girl Thing blog hop. Now click on the NEXT image to hop to the next stop at Cheryl’s blog. Thanks!

The Apron of Love stamp set and coordinating Apron Builder framelits offer lots of options for all occasion needs. If you do not already have a demonstrator, I would be happy to be yours.

Happy Stampin!

Gift Card Holder CASEing the Blog Hop Design 13

January 27, 2018Leave a comment

Turns out I did not have to CASE Joyce Hall’s Blog Hop design. It was her trade card at our all demonstrator meeting. Plus, 2 other demonstrators (Robin Vought created the guitar card, not sure who was the other demo) used the same design but achieved different looks. Joyce’s card is the lavender design which you can see on her blog here.

Flip the flap to reveal the gift card holder. Use a circle punch to create the notch.

The base layer is 4.25 x 11 inches, scored at 5.5 inches. Score the flap as needed according to the size of the front design. Robin’s guitar design accommodates a slighter larger front design than the other 2 designs.

It was a great idea to share designs covering birthday, wedding and graduation as a gift card idea. I may have to CASE it yet for the February Card Buffet.

If you missed the full blog hop, you can hop along here.

I have 1 more CASE and it is the card in a box. I have ideas so stay tuned to see what I create!

Have a nice weekend!

Lots of Lavender Blog Hop How To

January 4, 2018January 3, 20182 Comments

Yesterday, I shared this card as my entry into a Sale-A-Bration 2018 Blog Hop that I helped coordinate.

Today I am sharing the supplies used to create this card. First up are the stamps and ink pads. I used Lots of Lavender and Happy Wishes with the corresponding ink pads. After I had taken down the photo shoot, I noticed that I did not set the “for you” stamp on the rich razzleberry ink.

Papers are next. Rich razzleberry cardstock is the base layer. Next layer up is a patterned piece from the Sweet Soiree Memories and More card pack which is a Sale-A-Bration item that can be earned with purchase. On top of that is our vellum, then a white delicate doilie, next is whisper white cardstock that accepts ink from the stamps beautifully. Last are 2 leaves cut with pear pizzazz cardstock and vellum using the lemon builder punch. I almost forgot. I popped up the lavender bunch after stamping it on our thick whisper white cardstock to help balance out the bow. Our new Simple Stripes textured impressions embossing folder add interest to the rich razzleberry base.

I love to use embellishments! The glitter enamel shapes hides the glue dot holding the vellum leaves in place. A snippet of fresh fig sheer ribbon make a petite bow. It also acts as a layer on top of the pear pizzaz shimmer ribbon strip to balance the right side of the card.

Adhesives make it stick! Glue dots for the leaves and then also rolled onto itself to adhere the fresh fig ribbon and bow. Tear and tape under the pear pizzaz ribbon. Last, fast fuse does most of the work under all the paper layers.

I hope you enjoyed my card design. If you are interested in purchasing any of these products, please go to my online store. All orders are eligible for my Online Shopper Rewards program so check out the program here on my blog on the right hand side before shopping.
