Ink, Stamp and Share Blog Hop Honey Bee

February 29, 2020February 28, 202027 Comments

Welcome to our Ink and Share Blog Hop featuring projects designed by fabulous Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators. This month, we are featuring products from the Spring mini-catalog. If you are hopping around, you have arrived from Cindy’s blog and her fabulous project.

I have enrolled in a Beekeeper Program for 2020 and look forward to learning how to keep a hive happy. So I knew I was going to be adding the Honey Bee Bundle to my stash as quick as I could! I also have a stash of the coordinating Sale-A-Bration designer series paper too;)

The little honeycombs that were cut using the die were attached to the upper left corner using a tiny dot of tombo green glue. Sponged crushed curry ink in a diagonal over the front to add depth.

PPP Blog Hop Lovely Day

February 25, 2020February 25, 202012 Comments

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! We will be sharing lots of ideas for using the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Lovely Day, in alternate projects. You may have arrived from Deb Naylor’s blog. She had a great project!

I tend to design alternate projects using just the stamps from the kit while plucking supplies from my stash. Crumb cake cardstock is a staple and coordinates beautifully with a photographic flower image from the Pressed Petals designer series paper package.

Use a few markers and the 2 1/4 inch circle punch to create a quick and easy birthday card.

In case you want to see the Stampin’ Up! fast motion video using the original kit contents…

Thank you for joining us as we share the possibilities of Paper Pumpkin. Now hop over to Tricia’s blog to see what she designed.

I hope you are enjoying our Sale-A-Bration themed Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I picked the Sale-A-Bration designer Series Paper Lily Impressions and used a lot of it! A mat, for punching and a layer are all from the same package. The Sale-A-Bration Small Blossom punch is tucked under the bow.

a little bit of purple

The Lily Impressions designer series paper has watercolor looking patterns on one side and lily pads on the other. I opted for the watercolor look in this design because I could coordinate with flirty flamingo ink.

The purple baker’s twine was wrapped around a piece of stiff paper many times and then slide off the stiff paper. Remember making poms for our skates, handle bars and crafty projects growing up? It’s the same idea. Tack the loops using tear n tape behind the focal point. Adds some purple gems from the Noble Peacock collection and the design is complete!

Lily Impressions is a free Sale-A-Bration item you can earn with a $50 purchase through my online store. Click Shop Now to see all the Sale-A-Bration offerings.

Happy Shoppin and Stampin!
