Stampin Friends All About Love Blog Hop

Welcome to the 2018 Stampin Friends Blog Hop! This amazing hop was created with just a pinch of the creative members in a fun and creative Facebook Group if you haven't joined, you should!

We decided to kick of the year with an All About Love theme. If you know me, in years past I have complained about hearts. I think I have even said that I hate hearts. They are just not my thing... until NOW! Thanks Stampin' Up! Stampin' Up! has created a lovely suite featuring the Painted with Love Specialty DSP (Which is SUPER FAB), Sure Do Love You Bundle and the Heart Happiness Photopolymer set. There is even some Pink and Gold Tinsel to use for your special treats!

My card starts with a nice Rich Razzleberry  Cardstock base and Melon Mambo matte. I have used the tiny heart side the Painted with Love Specialty DSP. This paper is so cute with all the little hearts that look painted, there are even some gold foil ones to add some sparkle! I used the Stitched Oval from the Stitched Shapes with the Layering Ovals. The Layering Oval was cut from coordinating DSP. I took a quick piece of the Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon and made a quick knot. The Gold Mini Sequin Trim added the perfect amount of sparkle. My Stitched Oval is stamped with the heart from Watercolor Words using Melon Mambo ink. I then layered the "You" from Celebrating You thinlits to put over the heart. I added some Glimmer Enamel dots and I was done.

Here is how I made my cute little treat holder...

•  Cut the DSP or Card Stock at just under 2 inches x 12 inches
• Use the Scallop Tag Topper and Punch BOTH ends
• Score the strip at 6" and 7" to hold your treats, I used a pack of Little Debbie Hearts.
• Staple the ends at the top. You can embellish how you would like. I made a quick little tag using the Heart Happiness set and tied a quick bow using the Love Mini Tinsel combo pack!

Stamp Ink Paper 58 Lisa's Sketch

Hey there and Happy Tuesday! I am off to help at school registration this morning! Usually this takes me out of summer mode! Still have a few adventures that we would like to have before that first school bell rings!

This week with Stamp Ink Paper team member Lisa Altman has designed a fun little sketch for us to play with!





My card started with a base of Mint Macaron with a lovely matte of Crumb Cake! I used coordinating DSP from  Affectionately Yours and tied a quick strand of Mint Macaron Striped Ribbon across. I used the Tags & Labels Framelits to create my "tag" with the sentiment from Suite Sayings! The Bow Tie Paper clip seemed to be the right touch. I had some left over wood hearts from the Spring Occasions! I think I put them to a really cute use!

Fun and Simple! Not always something you see from me! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a fabulous Tuesday!
