SugarPea Designs / Sweet 2 Repeat Blog Hop

 

Hello!  It’s time again for the Sweet2Repeat Blog Hop with Sugar Pea Designs!  Now that so many of you have the April Product Release in your hot little hands, we have geared up to inspire you with even MORE creative possibilities featuring the newest products!

******Please excuse the wonky colors in my photo.  We are in the process of getting new flooring and my house is a MESS!  I've had to take photos in a different location for now BUT a new craft room comes SOON!!  Be sure to follow as I will be posting pictures of my before and after once it's all done!******

I can't stop coloring these adorable images from Ooh La La from the latest release!  Here I've colored the mac 'n cheese image with Copics and die cut using the coordinating Ooh La La SugarCut.  I assembled my card using die cuts from the Postage Stamp SugarCut and the ParisScape SugarCut!  The beauty of these landscape dies is that you can trim them down to be used on a vertical card.  My panel was layered onto a orange striped panel from the Spots & Dots Brights paper pad.

SugarPea Designs / Unless You're Wine

Hello!  I'm here to share a fun card for an adult who loves wine (and to wish them a punny birthday)!  Ooh La La is such a fun set!

To create my card, I started with my background.  Using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink, I applied the ink to my background via the smooshing technique and a few extra splatters.  Once dry, this panel was die cut using the SugarCut Postage Stamp along with the larger postage stamp die cut in white.  

This smiling wine bottle image, from Ooh La La,  was colored with Copics and die cut using the coordinating Ooh La La SugarCut.  After diecutting the stitched heart from Postage Stamp SugarCut, a few stars from Chic Wishes was stamped using Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink.  

To finish this, I white heat embossed a sentiment onto a black strip and added it behind my wine bottle image to ground it.

Hello Bluebird / May Preview Week

 

Hello!  I'm so excited to announce that Hello Bluebird will have a new release of stamps and dies tomorrow May 17th!

I have a card to share using the new Just Sayin' stamp set.  I've paired this adorable sign holding piggy with some of the elements from a previously released set Springtime.  I Copic colored my piggy with R01, R20, R21 and the sign highlights with BG10.  I fussy cut my image and set aside.  Next, I went to work on building my scene.  Using the Country Gingham Background, I masked off the frame of a rectangle, stamped the gingham for my "sky", and removed the mask.  The sun, grass, and "cloud" are also from Springtime.  The cloud is actually a balloon that I snipped the string off of!  The images were adhered to create my scene.  To finish the card, I die cut the stitched frame from Gallery Frame Die #1 in a light blue cardstock and adhered it with foam adhesive.  

Be sure to visit the Hello Bluebird blog to see more inspiration from the design team.  Make sure to check out the posts from the last few days as there are even more new sets that will be available for purchase tomorrow May 17th!!

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!

Technique Tuesday / Hello Friend

Hello!  I have a quick card to share using some floral stamps from Technique Tuesday.  

Using the Flowers for Her stamp set, I white heat embossed the blooms and leaves.  Using the emboss resist technique, I blended Distress Oxide inks over the tops of my images.  After hand trimming the images, I spritzed the images with water.  The blooms and leaves were allowed to dry and then adhered onto a panel of light yellow gingham pattern paper.  A simple 'hello friend' sentiment stamped in black ink and a few gems finish the card.

Reverse Confetti / Stock Your Stash Challenge (Birthday)

 

Hello!  Reverse Confetti recently changed things up and have discontinued the SFYTT monthly challenge but we have a NEW challenge that will be even better! 

 Introducing......Stock Your Stash Challenge!  

Every month will be a new theme and we are starting things off with BIRTHDAY since we are celebrating Reverse Confetti's 5th birthday!

We ALL need an extra stock of birthday cards, right?  I know I do!  I've used more of the new May release as it's perfect for this challenge!

I started with a panel of white cardstock and blended Cracked Pistaachio, Picked Raspberry, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.  Using this panel, I die cut using the Blocked Out Square Panel Confetti Cuts.  I stamped and Copic colored my popsicle from Hey, Sugar in with coordinating colors and added it with foam adhesive to my sentiment circle.  

Avery Elle / Summer 2018 Release Blog Hop

 

Hi there!  Have you been keeping up with the Avery Elle previews of the summer release this week?  This release is so fantastic!  I just love everything!  

Floating Wishes has a beautiful handwritten script in some of the most popular sentiments.....hello, wish big, thank you, and celebrate.  

I started my card by die cutting the largest frame from the new Wonky Scalloped Frames Elle-ments from black and white cardstock.  With the white rectangle, I was able to line up the 'hello' stamp perfectly and stamp them in Avery Elle's pigment inks (Aquamarine, Mimosa, Fizz, Magenta, and Sapphire) using my Mini Misti.  I added the frame and stamped sentiment panel with foam adhesive to a black notecard.  To finish, I added 3 Copic colored balloons and added Avery Elle Coarse Glitter with a glue pen.

Queen & Co. / Birthday Bash Kit

Hello!  

I'm sharing some inspiration using the newest kit from Queen & Co. called Birthday Bash!  Have you seen it??  This kit is all about bling and pom poms!

My first card uses some of the 5mm pom poms that are included in the kit to adorn the tops of the cute party hat stamps.  My party hats were stamped in coordinating colors (to match the pattern papers) of pigment inks and coordinating pom poms were added with the Gloobers Adhesive Dots that are included in the kit.  The party hats along with some stamped stars and confetti in the same inks and the sentiment, round out my panel that was added to a striped panel of paper from the Birthday Bash paper pad.

Supplies:

My second card focuses on the adorable cake image, flame bling, and pattern papers.  These cards just come together with all the coordinating of products already done for you!

My cake and candles were stamped in pigment inks and die cut using the coordinating dies.  The clear flame bling was added to the tops of the candles.  My cake was added onto a die cut circle of Birthday Bash pattern paper and layerd over panels of confetti pattern paper.  For the sentiment, it was stamped onto a hand trimmed banner and one die cut star (many layers glued together for a chipboard look) was added.
