June is off to an adorable start with a brand-new Product of the Month and two new kits from Stampin’ Up! Take a look at the sweet wild animal stamp set you can earn for just $5 with a qualifying order – plus see the latest quick-and-easy crafting kits now available online.
Today I’m sharing the third alternative project from May’s Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit – a gatefold card featuring the elegant punch-out streetlight from the kit and a bold black-and-white patterned backdrop. This simple design would be perfect as a welcome card, a thoughtful note for a guest or a sweet everyday greeting.
It’s time for my Week-in-Review.
This week’s projects included patriotic cards, Paper Pumpkin alternatives, a peek-a-boo technique card and a fun blog hop challenge – plus a gorgeous surprise from this year’s hibiscus blooms on our porch. Come take a look back at all the creativity and inspiration from the week!
Tuesday was a full day of creativity! After my Pumpkin in the Fungeon call, I joined my InKing Royalty team for our Stamp-and-Share night where the theme was “Peek-a-Boo.” I used Beautiful Gallery DSP and the Sweet Words & Labels Bundle to create a fun die-cut reveal card with a little hidden surprise inside. Come take a peek! ♥
Today I’m sharing another alternative project made with May’s Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit – this time with a completely different view outside the window! I paired the kit pieces with Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper to create a peaceful lakeside scene and added a few custom details to make the card my own. Come take a look! ♥
Tuesday night was my monthly Pumpkin in the Fungeon Zoom call with my Paper Pumpkin customers, and it was such a fun evening of creativity and inspiration! Today I’m sharing an alternative card I created with the Sparkling Celebrations Paper Pumpkin Kit, along with a closer look at this festive kit and the coordinating dies now available for subscribers.
Today’s Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop combines TWO fun techniques in one card – paper piecing and pattern mixing! I used the Sunset Coast Bundle and Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper to create a layered sunburst design full of color and texture. Come take a closer look at all the details and hop along with the team for even more inspiration! ♥
I finally get to share the birthday card I made for Megan! ♥ This sweet floral design features the gorgeous Velvet Meadow Specialty Designer Series Paper with soft flocked texture, bright coordinating colors and just a little sparkle. Sometimes one beautiful sheet of paper is all you need for a stunning card!
Today I’m sharing a parade of patriotic cards from over the years along with some of my favorite red, white and blue color combinations. While Memorial Day weekend may mark the unofficial start of summer, today is also a time to honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. I hope these cards and color inspirations spark an idea for something special you can create today. ♥
This week’s projects were filled with new products, evolving ideas, patriotic inspiration and time spent with some wonderful friends. ♥
In today’s Week in Review, I’m sharing a look at my posts about tags, fun folds, Designer Series Paper Swatch Books and a patriotic Memorial Day card. I’m also giving you a few behind-the-scenes extras you didn’t see during the week
I always love putting these recaps together – thanks for spending part of your Sunday with me!
