TGIF 145 Sure Do Love Pink Challenge

Good Morning!!! I am so glad that today is Friday! Influenza has hit our school district hard and I have the boys home with symptoms and no fevers... Taryn on the other hand is at school! 

I am back with TGIF Challenges this week with a sweet little color challenge for all of you to play along with!

I honestly started a TOTALLY different idea than what I came up with for this weeks challenge! I ended up using the Heart Happiness and the Sure Do Love You bundle and created my own DSP!

I began by stamping the Powder Pink using the distressed looking hear from the Sure Do Love You stamp set. I scattered this around my Whisper White background. I then inked up the striped heart of the same shape from the Heart Happiness stamp set and stamped sporadically over the Powder Pink as Blushing Bride is a bit darker. Last, I used the mini dot heart from the Heart Happiness stamp set with Sweet Sugar Plum ink. To soften this a bit I put a nice layer of Vellum over the background. This also has a Gold Stampin' Emboss Heart for the striped heart to fit inside of. I added the Powder Pink  striped heart with Stampin' Dimensionals along with the Sweet Sugarplum banner die cut using the coordinating dies. A cute little Gold Mini Sequin Trim and a Gold Faceted Gem was just the right amount of embellishments. This is nicely layered onto a Powder Pink matte with a Sweet Sugarplum card stock base!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge!

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!
