Stampin' Up! Friends of the Ocean for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a color challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

                                            

                                               

Let's take a closer look at the front and inside, shall we?

 

My card base is Berry Burst card stock and the Designer Series Paper is Friends of the Ocean (available in the Last Chance Products as of the creation of this card!). 

The sand dollar is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set and is cut and embossed with the Seaside Wishes Dies and Hybrid Folder. I sponged it with Basic Beige and wished I hadn't. 

The "love you" sentiment is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set. "Time to Celebrate" is from the Round We Go Stamp Set as is the "Happy Birthday" inside. They were stamped with Berry Burst and Pumpkin Pie.

For the star fish images inside, I used a stamp from Seaside Wishes. I stamped them in Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo. 

The fun fold design was inspired by Mary Anne Cowan. There are other videos on You Tube for the fold, but I saw hers first!

Measurements in inches:

Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4; cut top left at fold to bottom right corner 

DSP: 4 x 5 1/4; cut from top left corner to bottom right corner

Basic White inside: 4 x 5 1/4

Smaller card: 3 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

DSP: 2 3/4 x 4

Basic White inside: 2 1/2 x 3 3/4

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Easter Card

Good Monday make over...at least that's what I'm considering this card. It may be a stretch but I did use the same Hybrid EF that I used for this card. When I cut the black butterfly for that card, there was residue left from the card stock. I have never had that happen before but I liked the look. Take a look see...

Stampin' Up! Happy Hibiscus Birthday Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a sketch challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...

                                                          

                                                

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

I hope my team will be forgiving of my loose interpretation of the sketch and I hope the recipient has it in hand!

 

My card base is Basic White with an embossed white panel using the Happy Hibiscus Hybrid EF. I sponged the die cut hibiscus with Boho Blue ink, the leaves with Shaded Spruce and colored the centers with a light Daffodil Delight Blend. The sentiment is stamped in Boho Blue with a stamp from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set and cut with a die from the Happy Hibiscus set. Three Azure Afternoon Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots finished the front.

 

For the inside, I used the stamps from the Spring Corners Stamp Set. I colored the balloons with light Shaded Spruce, Boho Blue and Night of Navy Blends. 

Again, thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko. Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. I hope you enjoy all the creativity.

Stampin' Up! Wildflower Birthday for the SU Demos Fun Fold Monthly Hop

Hello my FB peeps! Welcome to our monthly Stampin' Up! Demos Fun Fold Blog Hop!! The participating demonstrators are listed at the end of my post. I hope you will choose to hop along. Here's what I created for the hop today...

                             

I used DSP from the retired Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" pack for the small triangles. My card base is Berry Burst but the camera did not pick up the true color. It looks more like Moody Mauve. I had a 12" x 12" piece of Berry Burst from a retired In Color pack so I was able to make the base of 11" x 11" and the remaining part for the belly band.

The belly band has a piece of ephemera from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper pack. 

For the inside...

The inside sentiment is from the retired Happiest Birthdays Stamp Set. I can't remember what stamp set the daisy image is from as I put everything away and I made it last month! If you know, please tell me in a comment. I did use DSP from the Bright & Beautiful 6" x 6" pack for the larger triangles.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will hop along with the list of demos.
