Stampin' Up! Embraced with Love ~ Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop


Hello and WELCOME!  I'm so happy to get to play along with so many creative stampers in the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop this month.  I love being a part of fun hops like this one with other stampers sharing what we love to create! You can find links to the other blog posts near the end of this post - make sure to check them all out.  I'm sure you will be inspired, as I always am, by the other posts in this fun blog hop!


This month's challenge was a new sketch, still my favorite type of challenge! It's always fun to see how many different ways a single sketch can be interpreted.  I often revisit the sketches when creating new cards with new stamping supplies. 


For this card I wanted to use a new stamp set, Embraced with Love.  Looking at the flowers the kangaroo was holding, I immediately thought of the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper.  This is just perfect!  I love that Stampin' Up! is so great about creating products that coordinate, not just with other new things, but also with older products. 


There was a bonus for me with getting to use this DSP, it allowed me to used one of my favorite color combinations...Highland Heather and Shaded Spruce!  I love these colors so much I'm thinking about redoing our bedroom with similar colors...one day.

Stampin' Up! Reindeer Fun ~ Ink & Inkspiration Blog Hop


Hey Stamper!  Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  I'm excited to be part of this fun & creative group sharing stamping inspiration with you today. 


This month's inspiration is the sketch below.  After decades of stamping and years of participating in Blog Hops, sketches are still my favorite! 


When I sat down to create for this sketch, I immediately pulled out my brand new Reindeer Days Suite and Festive Glimmer Paper.  I ended up not using ALL of the suite this time, but I'm sure I will use it all another day. 


I love that the new Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder is so big!  at 6" x 8-1/2" you can do a LOT with this embossing folder.  I embossed the entire front of the card before adding on the strip of DSP to the side. 


Thank you for visiting my blog today!  Be sure to visit the rest of the blogs listed below for even more inspiration. 

Happy Stamping!
