Hello! This is my first time participating in the Monthly International Blog Highlights. I'm excited to share with you my card created using the theme of thank you.

Looking through my stamp sets and choosing the right one for this project was a hard choice! But I had the new Whale of A Time designer series paper (DSP) open on my desk and the Seaside Notions stamp set is a great alternative to use with it instead of the Whale Done stamp set. Paired along with the stamp set and DSP is the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The colours are pulled from the DSP - Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green. To finish the card I added some of the Whale of A Time Sequins and a trimmed piece of Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Trim.

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends July Blog Hop! This month we are using the new 2020-2022 In Colours for our projects. The new colours are: Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee, Magenta Madness and Just Jade.

Some quick and easy cards! There are 4 sayings in the Tasteful Touches stamp set so one is duplicated since there are 5 colours. The strips of designer series paper are from the Flowers for Every Season 6"x6" designer series paper and I went thru the pack to select coordinating designs to match each of the colours. These cards were created for my June Online Workshop that is going on until tomorrow. If you live in Canada please join the Monthly Workshop Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/266053647891781/.

Just Jade is my favourite colour of them all but Bumblebee is a close second! What about you? What colour do you like the most or the least?

Thank you for stopping by! Next in the blog hop you will visit June and her awesome creation!

We held our first Mini Virtual Crop this past Saturday. We used the 2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper and the Tasteful Textures bundle to create our projects. This layout was one of my designs. The pictures are of my husband from 2000 when we went camping with my family. I still need to figure out what I'm going to write for journaling (this is the hardest part of scrapbooking for me).

My second card was one I created during the event. I switched the card base to Pear Pizazz and chose a different piece of designer series paper.

Welcome to the Pretty Cards and Paper Blog Hop. I've been asked to join these talented International Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in a monthly blog hop focusing on the beautiful designer series paper that is available in the our catalogue. This month we are showcasing the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. Make sure to check out all the blogs in the hop for ideas using this months featured DSP, you'll find a list of them after my project.

The In Good Taste designer series paper has 24 double-sided designs that are wood, tile and textile based designs in 12"x12" format. Check out the picture below for all the different designs available in this pack. With such a variety it was hard to pick ones I wanted to use on my card! My eye was drawn to the white stucco design and the dark woven pattern design. To create my card I used coordinating product from the In Good Taste Suite - the Tasteful Touches stamp set, Tasteful Labels Dies and the In Good Taste Elements. Over the white stucco DSP piece the leaves were stamped with Gray Granite ink. The greeting is part of the sentiment "Just Saying Hello". The best way to select part of a stamp is to use a Stampin' Write Marker, I used Basic Black. This way you can colour in the section of the stamp you want. The final touches on the card were the Very Vanilla Lace Trim, the wood element leaves and a few Pearls.
