Hearts Of Elegance Bundle and Sale-A-Bration Starstruck Emboss Folder - Crafty Challenge - Blog Hop

Welcome to our Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. It's a dice roll challenge this time! There are great projects made by demonstrators from around the globe, so be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post, each with a fabulous project! And if you have an Instagram account, you can see the Instagram Hop with a few more projects by going to my Stamp With Joy Nelson Instagram profile and looking for the image showing this card. 



Stripes, Hearts and Bees? Oh My! 

I love a challenge, and this dice roll certainly was if I was going to meet the challenge of all 5!  

First, I found some scrap strips of the 2024-2026 In Color DSP. I had strips in these colors: Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Peach Pie. And I adhered them to Basic White cardstock to create the background layer for my vertical card. 


I also die cut some hearts from the dies in the HEARTS OF ELEGANCE bundle in the same In Colors of cardstock. 
I needed a "for you" sentiment so I used the SO SINCERE stamp set. And I used BLENDING BRUSHES to create the look of a sponged edge around each of the hearts. To find out how I created the effect of the "lighter toned" embossed pattern, see this video with a different card but the same "sanded embossing folder" technique. The STARSTRUCK embossing folder is a Level 1 Sale-A-Bration item that you can get free with your qualifying product order. Ask me how to get it! 

Before I adhered the hearts, I added ribbon to the background layer and added a bow with glue dots for make it look like I tied the bow all the way around. This saved on the amount of ribbon used. Lastly, I added the TINY BEE TRINKETS to embellish my card project. I think I met all parts of the challenge, what do you think?

    Storybook Garden Patch Bundle - Stampin' Blends Markers Analogous Card - Stamping With Friends - Jan to Apr Mini Catalog

     


    Welcome to our Stamping With Friends Jan-Apr Mini Catalog Blog Hop. I'm sure you will enjoy all of the projects the demonstrators in this blog hop have created, so be sure to "hop" all the way around to see every demonstrator's blog post. 😊


    Do You Like Gardening and Greens & Blues? 

    If you do, then you should like my project for today's blog hop. I started with a challenge to make a monochromatic card using Old Olive. 

    Then I made one using the pretty STORYBOOK MEMORIES DSP.

    I love the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers for making easy work of coloring shaded images. And do you like the little heart?

    You can see how I made this card, and easily got this shaded look in my video on my Stamp With Joy YouTube channel.
