Be Inspired Blog Hop: Sunshine & Happiness
Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is…..Sunshine & Happiness! I was in the mood to color and I think the images of the “From All of Us” stamp set are PERFECT for coloring, especially with Stampin’ Blends!
I have been on a distressing kick lately, I just can’t seem to let the edges stay clean…I have to mess them up a bit.
What animal is your favorite of this image? I love the turtle and the ostrich, their eyes make me giggle and bring me happiness!

Graduation Card: Stampin’ Up! Best Plaid Builder Dies
The Class of 2020 graduation parties are finally starting to take place so it’s time to make some personalized cards! The Playful Alphabet Dies are perfect for personalization! I customized the colors too! Go Wildcats!
I didn’t want the look of solid color cardstock, so I decided to use my NEW Large Flat Brush Water Painter to add my color to Shimmery White Cardstock! I absolutely love the result from using Night of Navy and Crushed Curry Classic Inks!
Use a Stampin’ Up! Paper Trimmer to cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Use the Best Plaid Dies to crop three pieces of Shimmery White Cardstock; 2 Grid Lines and 1 Plaid
Use the Large Flat Brush Water Painter to add color with Crushed Curry and Night of Navy Classic Inks.
Adhere to a piece of Whisper White Cardstock as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Crop with a die-cutting and embossing machine and the largest Stitched Rectangle Die.
Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut a 1 x 4 piece of Shimmery White Cardstock. Use the Large Flat Brush Water Painter to add Night of Navy Color. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
Adhere a 1 1/4 x 4 piece of Shimmery White Cardstock to one side of a Foam Adhesive Sheet.
Crop the name with the Playful Alphabet Dies. Color with the Large Flat Brush Water Painter and Crushed Curry Classic Ink.
Adhere to the card with the other side of the Foam Adhesive.
Use a Clear Block G to stamp the sentiment (Itty Bitty Greetings) in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Night of Navy Cardstock.
Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Tap to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool!
Snip to size with Paper Snips and adhere as shown with snipped-to-size Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop the year using the Playful Alphabet Dies and Shimmery White Cardstock. Color with the Large Flat Brush Water Painter and Night of Navy Classic Ink.
Adhere to the corner of a Whisper White Medium Envelope with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Use a Clear Block G to stamp the “graduation” (So Much Happy Stamp Set) in Crushed Curry Ink onto the envelope as shown.
Do you like to personalize your creations? If you do then the Playful Alphabet Dies are a must-have addition to your craft room supplies!

Stampin’ Up! 2020 Artisan Team Blog Hop: Nothing’s Better Than Bundle
Welcome to the July 2020 Artisan Blog Hop!
The Stampin’ Up! 2020 Artisan Design Team has so many amazing creations for you to see! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs! This blog hop will feature the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle and the Blossoms In Bloom Bundle!
I am so humbled to be a part of this amazingly talented team of artists! Every month the projects WOW me and I hope that they WOW you too!
NOTHING’S BETTER THAN! One of my TOP BUNDLE PICKS from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog! It brings a smile to my face and I hope it does the same for you! The die-cut fonts are fabulous and I love giving them an ombre look with Stampin’ Blends! You can see the list of products that I used at the very end of this blog post.
The Nothing’s Better Than Bundle includes the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set and the Love You More Than Dies.
NOTHING’S BETTER THAN PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
Cookies, coffee, cocktails, and chocolate! Get it all in a single stamp set.
*26 photopolymer stamps
*Suggested clear blocks (sold separately): a, b, d, g
LOVE YOU MORE THAN DIES
Pair the Love You More Than Dies with the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set to create cards, accents, and more.
*9 dies
*Largest die: 2″ x 2-1/2″ (5.1 x 6.4 cm)
Stampin’ Up! craft bundles make coordination easy. Stamp & tool bundles help you quickly cut out stamped images for a single project or create multiples of the same project with ease.
I wanted all my creations to coordinate, so I used Pretty Peacock to bring them all together.
Three drinks & three pieces of chocolate! All images, die-cuts, and backgrounds were colored with the amazing Stampin’ up! Stampin’ Blends Premier Alcohol Markers!
Fill the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes with your favorite chocolate treat or coffee bean and share it with your friends!
I wrapped the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes with a 1″ strip of World of Good Specialty Design Series Paper, Pretty Peacock 1/2″ Scalloped Edge Ribbon, and Linen Thread.
