Anything Goes Stampin Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop. This month our theme is Anything Goes!  There are 10 wonderful bloggers participating this month.  We are sharing cards and projects with a variety of themes.  If you came from the blog of Katja Ettig, thanks for continuing through the hop and coming over to my blog. Her projects were great.

Let's get right to my projects.  All of the stamped images I used are from Stampin' Up!© and can be found in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog!
I created 2 cards and a treat bag to share with you.
The Udderly Fantastic Card uses the Over the Moon & Love What You Do Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Balmy Blue, & Basic Black Cardstock; Black Memento Ink, Balmy Blue Classic Ink and Stampin' Blends to add color. I added a ribbon with the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and Solid White Baker's Twine.
The Cow's It Going card uses the Barn Door & Over the Moon Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, Early Espresso, & Whisper White Cardstock; Early Espresso, Memento Black and Poppy Parade Inks along with Stampin' Blends for coloring.  A metallic brad (I colored it black with the Stampin' Blends) and Linen Thread adds the finishing touches.
Cow Tales Treat Bag uses the Barn Door & Over the Moon Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade, & Whisper White Cardstock; Memento Black Ink and Early Espresso & Poppy Parade Classic Inks along with Stampin' Blends for coloring.  Tied it all together with the Linen Thread.

Summer Fun Blog Hop with Stampin Friends

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop. This month our theme is Summer!  There are 10 wonderful bloggers hopping.  We are sharing cards and projects with a Summer theme.  If you came from the blog of Steph Jandrow, I am glad you are continuing through the hop. I loved her projects.

 Let's get right to my projects:  I fell in love with this set as soon as I saw the NEW Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. The Stamp Set is Ride With Me and the coordinating Dies are Truck Ride. 

I made this card using the extended image technique. You achieve this by stamping the balloons on the outside whisper white layer and then again on the inside layer of the whisper white with the truck image.  I fussy cut a couple balloon images to fill in the spaces. 

The above graphic shows the pieces I stamped and die cut for the truck before assembling.  It takes patience, but once I made a few they became easier to do.

 I hope you have enjoyed my projects.  I enjoy sharing my love of paper crafting and inspiring you to be creative.  Make a card or a favor to give to someone special and it will make their day.  Enjoy your summer!

Janice visited Arizona

My direct upline with Stampin' Up!, Janice Weightman, came from the cold of Chicago, Illinois to sunny Phoenix, Arizona this weekend.  She set up a meetup for the area demonstrators from her group, the Stampahowlics.  We met at "The Place" on Saturday morning, 11 of us attended.  We enjoyed sharing business ideas, swapping cards, and a delicious breakfast.

AZ Stampahowlics

I was recognized for being in the top 20 for sales, in our group, for the month of February.
Here is a close up of the card from Janice
We love to swap cards any chance we get. Janice's meetup was no different. Here is the card I created to swap with the group.
I used the Incredible Like You Stamp Set and Needlepoint Elements Framelits Dies from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.  The colors are Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green and Whisper White.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful creative day.
