This month's kit made 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs. It includes everything, and I mean everything, except the scissors to cut the twine! 

Here are the cards as designed:

Here is my alternative:

I focused on the stamps, but I did cut apart one of the envelopes for the blue pieces. I like to see what I can do with the stamps after the kit pieces are used up. I just got my kit this afternoon, so didn't have a lot of time to plan. I don't think I did too bad tho'...

Don't forget the inside!!

ICS Blog Hop: Spring has Sprung....Garden Birdhouses

 

Hello friends! Thanks for joining the Inspire Create Share team for our "Spring is Sprung" Blog Hop! I know some areas are still experiencing cold weather, and some are still getting snow, but I hope you feel a little more "springy" after you hop through with us. 

Here is my card using Garden Birdhouses. Birds in my yard, flitting around and singing, always make me think of spring. 

Unfortunately, Garden Birdhouses is retiring, so grab yours before it is gone!

I love the textured shimmer paper. It is slightly corrugated, and it has just the right amount of shimmer to it too! It comes in 3 colors and the best part is, it iscarrying over into the new 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! catalog, so grab a pack now and start creating with it!

Let's hop over to Janey's blog and see what she has created to share with us.

PPP Blog Hop: Ten Years of Growth

 

Happy Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop Day! The designed projects are beautiful, but myself and other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators were still able to make up alternate projects using the Ten Years of Growth kit. 

Here are the cards as planned by Stampin' Up!

My momma loves pink, so I wanted to add some more to my alternate card. Here is what I came up with:

I used paper from the Texture Chic Designer Series Paper pack, so pretty! I stamped the leaves on the reverse side of the envelope flap, and in Coastal Cabana ink on Coastal Cabana cardstock and fussy cut them all out. I embossed the lily image on vellum, colored on the reverse side with Stampin' Blends and also fussy cut it out. I did use one tag from the kit, and a strip of the gold cardstock. Everything else are Stampin' Up! products outside the kit. 

Hope you like my project. Let's hop on over to Cheryl's blog to see what she has come up with. 

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

ICS Blog Hop: Taco Fiesta Birthday Bash

 

Hello, hello!!

 I am so excited to share our Birthday Bash with you tonight!! Hop along with us and you will see all kinds of birthday projects...maybe even one or two that you can use for an upcoming event in your life!

I used the Taco Fiesta Stamp Set. It has all kinds of fun stamps and some great sentiments too! 

I chose to decorate one of the Embossed Treat Bags. Just think, if you wanted to do a pinata at your party, but had no place to hang it and/or not enough room to actually hit it and break it open. You could just decorate these bags with the cute pinata stamp, add some fun ribbons, and then fill it with stuff and hand them out to your guests. 

I am thinking of filling them up and gifting them to my gal pals, if we do a Cinco de Mayo luncheon. What would you put in yours?

Thanks for hopping with us tonight! Leave a comment when you see something(s) you like! Let's hop on over to Terri's blog and see what fun birthday related project she has to share with us!

Until next time...

Happy Craftin'!

3/2/23 This or That Stampin' - Framed Florets

 Hello friends!!

Framed Florets won this week's This or That Stampin'. Here is the project I made with the stamps. I layered the 2 3/4" x  3 3/4" piece on to the 4"  x 5 1/4" piece and stamped the images.

Then, layered the smaller white piece onto a 2 5/8" x  3 5/8" piece of Melon Mambo cardstock. Stamped my sentiment, and layered them onto the
