I love April's Paper Pumpkin! The anchor and lighthouse! My coworker's birthday was the end of April and I made this card for her. Had to create a large enough card so that each person could write a greeting. Last year I created a regular 5.5" x 4.25" card with Whisper White flaps that opened, but this year I created a double card. Each card base was trimmed and then glued together to create the longer card - perfect for our birthday greetings!

Thank you all who participated in our April Crop in support of Partner's in Mission Food Bank, we raised $95.00. Next month we are supporting Relay For Life - details can be found here.

In this month's grab bag was the Bundle With Love Memories & More card pack. For the two projects I designed for our make and takes there is no stamping! The cards and stickers included in the card pack make this projects easy and quick! The blue elephant image on the bottom right pocket is punched from one of the 3x4 cards. This card pack has blue on one side and pink on the other! So the above pocket page can easily be created for a girl instead!

I shared this 12" x 12" scrapbook page during my Share What You Love Facebook Party the other night. This page idea was born from finding some strips of the Wood Textured Designer Series Paper on my crafting desk and they looked like wood strips you would lay for flooring!

Supplies
Stamps: Love What You Do

The first card showcasing products from the Share What You Love Suite early release is from Onstage in London, Ontario last month. It was one of the 4 make and takes they had prepared for us to make! New designer series paper, ribbon, doilies and pearls! It's a hard choice but I like the doilies and pearls the best!

I love that the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper is carrying over to the next catalogue! This paper is perfect for so many projects. For the main watercolour wash and flowers on the piece at the back are stamped off as the Grapefruit Grove ink was too bright at full strength.

Very exciting times is our theme for this special Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! The next few months are filled with new products and new colours! On May 1st Stampin' Up! is releasing a new suite from the new catalogue called Share What You Love Suite. Then on June 1st the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue starts!

Today's card feature the Share What You Love stamp set and the Garden Impressions designer series paper. After stamping the flowers in Night of Navy ink, I used an Aquapainter filled with rubbing alcohol to colour in the flowers. The alcohol dries very quickly giving a different water coloured look to them!

Thankfully I was able to have everything ready to assemble while at the crop and spent a little time putting them together while watching Netflix.
