Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Thank you for joining us as we create with <b><i>fun folds</i></b>. There are several of us hopping this evening - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your time with us as we share our handmade projects with you!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>Today’s project was inspired by a project that the lovely Mikaela Titheridge shared on the Crafty Carrot. I hope today’s project inspires you to give this fun-fold a try as you choose which Designer Series Papers you want to use!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpKAFgUufrsWUVl3WfDqAwbP1xXtEhtN2CWa8p2ZIMnko32QrD667UrLCnWRc_BeNlWUPjiGn23j6kP5ZgA8MhVDgNNAYO8S-8_vSURpO44BKC0c5V1tfB8UD2lSir8SRt1rvQg0lyLRcBRX_HpxzgwUgx2DAi_Tuah5W6KzRIApXrGUbevvxQuA_RzQ/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Magnolia%20Mood%20Fun%20Fold%20card%20-%20Mar%202024%20(4).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Magnolia Mood Get Well fun-fold | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFpKAFgUufrsWUVl3WfDqAwbP1xXtEhtN2CWa8p2ZIMnko32QrD667UrLCnWRc_BeNlWUPjiGn23j6kP5ZgA8MhVDgNNAYO8S-8_vSURpO44BKC0c5V1tfB8UD2lSir8SRt1rvQg0lyLRcBRX_HpxzgwUgx2DAi_Tuah5W6KzRIApXrGUbevvxQuA_RzQ/w640-h640/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Magnolia%20Mood%20Fun%20Fold%20card%20-%20Mar%202024%20(4).png" width="640" /></a></div><h2>Project Details</h2><p>Starting with a scored piece of Petal Pink cardstock, the cardstock was folded and burnished to close the cardstock to a standard size card.

The <b>Darling Details</b> and <b>Happy Little Things</b> sentiments were randomly stamped in Crumb Cake ink onto one Crumb Cake deckled circle. The white heat embossed vellum magnolia was die-cut and rubbed on the reverse side with a stylus tip. A second same size Deckled Circles die-cut was used to sandwich the Natural 1/4” Wavy Trim to close the card with a bow. The white heat embossed <b>Happy Little Things</b> sentiment was fussy cut and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. 2023-2025 In Color™ Dots were added to compliment the <b>Softly Stippled DSP</b> from Sale-a-Bration as a finishing touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlHJUSnYb__bDwZu8Bo3mcNlLeFcYrC4CyBBB5PLgMoBbSqmylKe5iQEUaTeeWfRb20qvjxi6f0HMPEigt9bSZrh-nfoCNSPdYDki6zkehBMWrGnok5v0ezD07zhIFk-iPV7ht5Z4IgYMD3e_UuDuaLMwQJvrdQvjMIS_yC5pFMokzgbc7OeJK-s6CH8/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Magnolia%20Mood%20Fun%20Fold%20card%20-%20Mar%202024%20(13).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside the Magnolia Mood Get Well Fun-Fold card | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlHJUSnYb__bDwZu8Bo3mcNlLeFcYrC4CyBBB5PLgMoBbSqmylKe5iQEUaTeeWfRb20qvjxi6f0HMPEigt9bSZrh-nfoCNSPdYDki6zkehBMWrGnok5v0ezD07zhIFk-iPV7ht5Z4IgYMD3e_UuDuaLMwQJvrdQvjMIS_yC5pFMokzgbc7OeJK-s6CH8/w640-h640/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Magnolia%20Mood%20Fun%20Fold%20card%20-%20Mar%202024%20(13).png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">The inside was layered and stamped to compliment the card front.

We are glad you have joined us and look forward to spending time with you as we share inspiration with you about our <b><i>March Blues Monochrome Color Challenge</i></b>. So sit back and enjoy your favorite cuppa as you enjoy your trip Around the World on Wednesday!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>March can often be a solemn month full of rollercoaster temperatures as the weather comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb here in the USA as we get ready for April showers and May flowers. It will be interesting to hear how the weather is in other parts of the world! </p><p>From another vantage point, let's think of jewels... birthstones in particularly.

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects based on our <b>Etching Technique Challenge</b>! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this technique. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p style="text-align: left;">Etching is a technique that I learned while designing for a Splitcoaststampers Event hosted by the Dirty Dozen Design Team and Alumni. It is such a relaxing technique once you find the perfect stamp set to etch. There are so many ways that you can interpret etching from the classic look consists of lines of varied widths to adding texture through cross-hatching or stippling. Some use comtemporary strokes which remind me of zen drawings. Google can be your best friend with new techniques... here is the Google search of <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=514310bf918208e1&sca_upv=1&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS878US880&sxsrf=ACQVn0_yXBsMPRU1MuIUPUT91rRsaWOiLA:1710001238653&q=leaf+etching&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAx5SDy-eEAxXPq4kEHcyJCt0Q0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=1440&bih=779&dpr=2" target="_blank">images</a> that inspired me. Here is the stamped etching video from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhO6EFoiEV0" target="_blank">Splitcoaststampers</a> by Lydia Fiedler. And here's a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x89FrbudOk" target="_blank">video</a> that a team member found to share within our group. As you will see, there are so many ways to do it so see what you have and enjoy the challenge of this beautiful technique.</p><p style="text-align: left;">This is what I created for our challenge...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4AOhZCBI9BIfHrwt3qlVJpis8Ga_CuttCFV3nOlbDAes9dVZx50x3K8EbMrz19WPFOhQi12O-fuESq-g_Ak1T96EymnQfZTNr7DcIK4r1pUwtgxtI0sxQiv950MUGuWNLFYCwgUj0_OXYuywakkZTQuNszJwdsOiqKH9ooQ2LmFKQngr5bRY9Nci0jhg/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Magnolia%20Mood%20card%20-%20Mar%202024%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop as we share inspiration from our color challenge this month! There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water, or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>Do you ever have one of those days when you intend to make a card for one reason, but something happens that makes you tweak it a bit for another reason? Well, today was one of those days! This card was originally intended to be a card for my parents who are celebrating their "first date" anniversary today!!! But due to something that I received from a friend today, I knew she needed this card more than my dear parents...</p><p>Here is the color challenge that inspired today's project.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-fQv0GO536Cpzge3jRESx5IIqpb0PWe_AHAXFX4DkAX1kb4fvZpEGsF8ISXj67IfbnWFAly6lKXK7U7-F0ZpCGvJQriPH6bGJ_6-bVgWzvn6OjCqTJ-Tk6Y8JBWiGgGdoBwXPuhVItykvhOWa1R4zw9so4T8R_WzLqVCAEJiBNH60FeczTecf1C5OnQ/s1080/IIBH%20February%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ink & Inspriration Blog Hop - February 2024 Color Challenge | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-fQv0GO536Cpzge3jRESx5IIqpb0PWe_AHAXFX4DkAX1kb4fvZpEGsF8ISXj67IfbnWFAly6lKXK7U7-F0ZpCGvJQriPH6bGJ_6-bVgWzvn6OjCqTJ-Tk6Y8JBWiGgGdoBwXPuhVItykvhOWa1R4zw9so4T8R_WzLqVCAEJiBNH60FeczTecf1C5OnQ/w640-h640/IIBH%20February%202024.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">And here is what it inspired me to create for an old friend!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKHb1fXwDlQwtb6IefRMUI0MNCeV8-mjyMxV9B5KJLTwqpLrlGFruAZnOS_0o6THr81fHilXdUXZ0HFw_p6_gjUdK9CvMeczmbtFf4Q6tMoKFj_QtS1zswCdIzBfT0cxoKy3kBZFtehd8aPVCI1BSgnYKbAhZbaeVWTc0KEhidj6tiIYpe61wHV-y-mX0/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Darling%20Details%20card%20-%20Feb%202024%20(10).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

With the release of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on the horizon, I knew I needed to play with it some. The anchor of the card is my favorite die from the bundle... I call it the ribbon holder. **swoon**</p><p>The Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon was woven through the Parakeet Party die-cut and fiddled with until it filled the openings all the across. The ribbon holder was centered across the front to make folding along the edges easy for adhering to the back of the Basic White Cardstock layer with Tear & Tape Adhesive. Flowers and foliage were stamped and off-stamped with each of the colors from the color challenge... and lovingly die-cut as I wished I had a duplicate set of the dies. The die-cuts were arranged and tucked around the ribbon holder with the center Bubble Bath floral and leaves being adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. The <b>Meadow Dies</b> butterfly was die-cut from Vellum Cardstock. The Parakeet Party Matte Decorative Dots were added for the butterfly body. The sentiment was stamped with Crumb Cake ink and fussycut.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1lz_JEKq6iqHE65Giw5YKq7w6ka-4UYGWlO5YEEZ_enZNnOVVyMmS8xB6rMbssYXSQEfwUNyOwX4wLtZ6svDKqw8XDxukFp4YzAaPFwueOjdg8JuubPiVA6_pRaFSnu76cYoqy8AFlFRmiHt-TtIMSol_sSd1CASK1u3BVLXK5AxUyO8TtQpp370Ti9w/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Darling%20Details%20card%20-%20Feb%202024%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside the Stampin' Up!

The Crumb Cake sentiment was perfect for this special friend leaving plenty of room for a heartfelt message to her. The Basic White Medium Envelope front and flap were stamped to complete the card ensemble. </p><h2><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">More Inspiration</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope this project has inspired you and brightened your day.

I actually tried them in test runs using the suggested order and in bloom order then leaf order. I must say I prefer the suggested order! </p><p><b>Project Details... </b></p><p>A half sheet of Basic White Cardstock was the start of the simple cards. The first decorative mask was centered along the half sheet with a post-it note being anchored on my Glass Mat under the v-cut for accurate placement of the remaining decorative masks. Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green ink pads were pressed face down onto the Glass Mat for the ink blending with Small Blending Brushes. Light pressure was used with all the layers creating the subtle design. Once complete, the cardstock was cut in half creating two card fronts. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjWJ1XyoB4s86FEEwdwYno9mYIfFbEVMIPho37WfVcKrZ0OCU4vosWcWWhi0KgZ-8ZMF3rARx94v_WZrNsDnrNfjM09Jf6YJ9mAyyCmPDurMMFBi4OkxdFqUx2W1gfVwuP6ARPWdFfh1umU0N13JLVO3P1vy2ENefREF0U8KWaJFbwaHbu4OvT-mFZsrM/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Enduring%20Beauty%20stencil%20card%20-%20Feb%202024%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The image was inked with Lost Lagoon ink onto a Very Vanilla Cardstock layer. The stamped layer was crumpled and wadded to create an antiqued feel. The unfolded layer was flattened through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine prior to adhering to a Pool Party Cardstock layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects based on our <b>Color Challenge</b>! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun challenge. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p style="text-align: left;">My heart leapt with joy when I saw this picture for this month's color challenge... it took me to my childhood as I recalled the joy of Sunday mornings at church and seeing all the little ones grinning from ear to ear! Actually, this little fella seems all decked out for Easter and reminds me so much of one of the pastor's kids that I so enjoyed watching grow up.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoDqUwMVw-P6zK6qc4Ws2jHf_nw4NyrbA3zf2EXHmla2RH8UMw5Zcq44bert7PcA-X6MeBvmoDdqtKOYvRgeRm_MmBLUsE4UlFdVqNTEr5gNXe1on0-LxRtr_Jj6ORNKcpswAsybU_eg8mHBMd-C5aMy05h4IMQ7c_9YTSPW65MZ7L_Tl22ikcksn5oA/s1080/SI%20February%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stamping INKspirations Color Challenge - February 2024 | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoDqUwMVw-P6zK6qc4Ws2jHf_nw4NyrbA3zf2EXHmla2RH8UMw5Zcq44bert7PcA-X6MeBvmoDdqtKOYvRgeRm_MmBLUsE4UlFdVqNTEr5gNXe1on0-LxRtr_Jj6ORNKcpswAsybU_eg8mHBMd-C5aMy05h4IMQ7c_9YTSPW65MZ7L_Tl22ikcksn5oA/w640-h640/SI%20February%202024.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Misty Moonlight | Lemon Lolly | Soft Sea Foam | Real Red | Pretty Peacock</div><p style="text-align: left;">Here is what this fun challenge inspired me to create!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdSsX4R7zdWCIEhMKi6Vofz8sogYimTD3gH2NubYQyras_mKXj0G7YjuUec8_bw070EddtpH0oneasSNBzssd21vH0uknywnU_39-AczJ2ccqGS-X0ouATaXY4nStEz85J92oAgwhe36CATXXXZ5APu9r92CBhDFhin4IwtIrKxptkNZwBwDstKlbPp0/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Courage%20&%20Faith%20Rays%20of%20Light%20-%20Feb%202024%20(11).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The background stamp was inked with Whisper White Craft ink and pressed with a Lemon Lolly Cardstock layer. The <b>Everyday Details </b>circle die-cut was blended along the edges with a Small Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight ink. Three strands of White<b> Baker's Twine</b> was stitched around the circle using a stitch that my paternal grandmother used for handstitching trims on pillowcases decades ago that I was blessed to receive.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb0CBzmfftckj6WfTqU897EHAthXMrXvjYipzEG54JVCkVYR6-KI1f2SnXwROV3TE-cp-bpw7pph_mHadWbbq_YnXm5iFrjzjjY2O7R_NP3iAPkXcaOWbh2C21Bpverz3KKmEEHVgxIM9P2qSQTW5aLsJjykVHjxQZs6CkjffE9ww2ySFNRNheOyOw188/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Courage%20&%20Faith%20Rays%20of%20Light%20-%20Feb%202024%20(14).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

I hope you are having an amazing weekend. Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Share It Sunday Blog Hop as we share lots of inspiration about what we've been working on this month and haven't shared, yet. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!</p><h2>Today's Projects</h2><p style="text-align: left;">I made two special thank you projects this month! </p><p style="text-align: left;">One was a card for my customer who placed my first order of 2024. I love making thank you cards for my customers, but this one was an extra special one to show my appreciation.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfs_5ZmItvxf2v2GlXkW9XV_xquxIzRwoQlyPvVP1_Jl6c0WSxbj6qpLx8u2hGkDHFG1FmN1yrgL9EaJycZGXWpbPUaoLmbsQgnHufA4kgKuF_gg4Qw6qHwWcI4TrEORIoqNRrmD7AoGhFYkSzIQKIZczazcyQxyCdKeOuuhd-WMWybRZYp3XCW_kjluI/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(3).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="A special customer thank you using the Bee My Valentine stamp set | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfs_5ZmItvxf2v2GlXkW9XV_xquxIzRwoQlyPvVP1_Jl6c0WSxbj6qpLx8u2hGkDHFG1FmN1yrgL9EaJycZGXWpbPUaoLmbsQgnHufA4kgKuF_gg4Qw6qHwWcI4TrEORIoqNRrmD7AoGhFYkSzIQKIZczazcyQxyCdKeOuuhd-WMWybRZYp3XCW_kjluI/w640-h640/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(3).png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And my second one was a calendar for Benji's groomer since I had forgotten his appointment the week before and she got us rescheduled so quickly... </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXa_y0afaRKl1o9DK2qXgS9wUOJcUK3UJmkZDJ7XGGreV1EqlXX1TLhKnQHut4Hc-R4zZW_mN0c0_kyhiNoUjya6zST3lPS_quzbL2E_zaw37s3V46MelGGu_NJ2x5EC13KY_hptO2yCJE-KtA2kAe4kY-soJ0IDWYW6eNhNhcrDBNsmmH3qkBW-A74BU/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Doggone%20Friendly%20calendar%20-%20Jan%202024%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

Inspired by the colors in the coordinating Bee Mine DSP and my friend, the lovely <a href="https://www.facebook.com/coastalcrafter/posts/pfbid02z7xwnsrYCMKRyLYAtgoGjskizHfA9kXiui9QtBJ6HZGvbWAytfqBr8tZLWhkgDfil" target="_blank">Emma Goddard</a>, I just had to make flowers out of the bee's wings! You just simply stamp the wings four times like a clover leaf and the flower blooms!

The panel was die-cut with an <b>Everyday Details</b> circle die. The panel was splattered with the brush tip of my Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker. The bee path was stamped with Pool Party ink. The bee was stamped with Daffodil Delight and Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The wings were stamped with Petal Pink ink and accented with Wink of Stella for some glimmer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nP7Uwvws8e97hWrfbinMgFcrZbFdba6LjNQmS-6LUws7gdj0R6OxTm66keSA0Wrt4A4chnD6kBtgQJkt5sXLL6PdNif-aUU4vIPTLARlKI_lRjk2twdsvGJ7ZKNDkumqXxj0zCOfj5GRciz8WF2Qn6cU4BDYeXf4l-fJCLRvjfYM-93dr968HzF-4Gk/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Details on creating the bee wing flowers | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_nP7Uwvws8e97hWrfbinMgFcrZbFdba6LjNQmS-6LUws7gdj0R6OxTm66keSA0Wrt4A4chnD6kBtgQJkt5sXLL6PdNif-aUU4vIPTLARlKI_lRjk2twdsvGJ7ZKNDkumqXxj0zCOfj5GRciz8WF2Qn6cU4BDYeXf4l-fJCLRvjfYM-93dr968HzF-4Gk/w640-h640/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Three flowers were created... one each in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Sweet Sorbet. The flowers were colored by off-stamping the coordinating heart stamp. The overlapping centers were covered by crumpled up Daffodil Delight cardstock which was die-cut using the smallest <b>Deckled Circles</b> die. The die-cut was was crumpled and wadded into a tiny ball, unfolded and repeated again several times until the paper fibers were soft to the touch. A small bit of to the circle was torn completely around to fit the size of the flower. The circle was then separated creating two flower centers where the inside exposed the fluffy fibers mimicking petal florets. The circles were adhered to the flowers with a Stampin' Dimensional. The flower stems are Pretty Parakeet Baker's Twine tied in a bow with the tails long enough to knot at the bottom and adhere to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The <b>Blueberry Bunches</b> sentiment was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The <b>Everyday Details</b> label die was shortened to fit the sentiment. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6DrPN_sGNZMZ50WevpHIs-J_eRYv-ft81NG6NEac6_hsNzUVA1CrKnHvM_ssb9ggjoMR9euVnnAVwc9N72ny086T40-hfhyXkHXKHgkVRNENnvr2cJEARh8q5t_FrXW0U2NMfAumcM4-8OY_y76onHHuoZ1zKXUpWTeOSy9hk3iE3o0S1ugTnsRW8-Q/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(9).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside a special Bee My Valentine thank you card using the Everyday Details Dies and Blueberry Bunches sentiment | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ6DrPN_sGNZMZ50WevpHIs-J_eRYv-ft81NG6NEac6_hsNzUVA1CrKnHvM_ssb9ggjoMR9euVnnAVwc9N72ny086T40-hfhyXkHXKHgkVRNENnvr2cJEARh8q5t_FrXW0U2NMfAumcM4-8OY_y76onHHuoZ1zKXUpWTeOSy9hk3iE3o0S1ugTnsRW8-Q/w640-h640/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Bee%20My%20Valentine%20thank%20you%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(9).png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">The inside was layered, die-cut and blended to compliment the card front.

Once for the main background and once for the calendar panel and fussy-cutting the pampered doggies that Miss Judy probably sees a lot of from day to day. The happy tongues were colored with Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Markers along with some of the bows and collars. The bow for the terrier was colored with Pool Party and Crumb Cake. The fussy-cut images were adhered to a Basic White Stylish Shapes square die-cut which was adhered to a same size Crumb Cake die-cut.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Details for the calendar layout can be found <a href="https://bit.ly/naturesINK17jan2024" target="_blank">here</a>. </p><div><h2 style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">More Inspiration</h2><p style="text-align: left;">I hope you have been inspired to create one or both of these projects to share with someone to make them smile.

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop as we share inspiration from our Color Challenge! There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water, or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>Thankful that I was able to speak to my mom before I finished this card that I made for today's color challenge. She had some sad news to share with me about some friends of hers... so I told her not to worry as I was making her a sympathy card.</p><p>Here is this month's color challenge that inspired the design of my card.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfTNTy6CS1FLbcclVP0Y0FGzR1C9WZFxRCHn9ILgXGhedHjDBXHvTQXy2eRl_qPOeHK0cJ4nX2PKASLrjiSA9affIowZii-QMuKLcp32I6dw4iKr8TUSJl9SZqwAlpqA6GF3QI-_7DOrYrIR6735vwXtdg2HKrL1l6983B-aAGn68lxhY_GP26o8R3GE/s1080/IIBH%20January%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop - January 2024 Color Challenge" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirfTNTy6CS1FLbcclVP0Y0FGzR1C9WZFxRCHn9ILgXGhedHjDBXHvTQXy2eRl_qPOeHK0cJ4nX2PKASLrjiSA9affIowZii-QMuKLcp32I6dw4iKr8TUSJl9SZqwAlpqA6GF3QI-_7DOrYrIR6735vwXtdg2HKrL1l6983B-aAGn68lxhY_GP26o8R3GE/w640-h640/IIBH%20January%202024.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">And here is what the result was after speaking with my mom...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFDDZskS_RuoYKlUc6aiGGm01toogz7zYghQJXxjiFvYirLDiTyNnxiIaPLZX0v97IBf2V-0o01lka8_Ma3bJr86Ybq3JOYFb641oLPH_lzBPPOFbpv1GZUVu9pU8hWtW8q2keUqbFvlBjS1KupVYg6ZXQ4mbwOShQOXrtuntKTY7L-ijZJTwWrSMUUEg/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Dainty%20Delight%20Thoughtful%20Expressions%20sympathy%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(12).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

I searched through my stamps for the perfect image and found it in the <b>Dainty Delight</b> stamp set. The largest image was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Basic White cardstock layer. The image was colored with Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green inks, clear blocks and a Blender Pen. The clear blocks were pressed onto the ink pads and then the Blender Pen lifted the ink off the blocks - one color at a time and wiping the Blender Pen multiple times until it showed no color.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigAAOrxLSTBmRAPEM303ZZRI7O837BKmD3zkGMEvhjUK57zzwmV9GEqvVu8S1nlmj5i9euY6p_s2Zoqqt_vBbJkbKFvylNWk8g_74VM9D524EN2mdc9AfOo9mRjCWrjlnkhaDXMa10s9VoovCivrHjaS2XJ4LagwKI4dTGcqdlZUZrg9o8TkaYJ_iAE-s/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Dainty%20Delight%20Thoughtful%20Expressions%20sympathy%20card%20-%20Jan%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Details of my Stampin' Up!

Azure Afternoon ink was softly blended over and around the die-cut until the deserved shading was achieved. The <b>Thoughtful Expressions</b> sentiment was stamped with Memento ink. The three layers of Basic White cardstock were die-cut with a Thoughtful Expressions die simultaneously using 6-8 handcranks to get through all the layers. The three die-cut layers were adhered together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue aligning the die-cut sections. Linen Thread was wrapped around the layers twice and tied-off with a bow. The layers were adhered the Basic White card base. FINALLY, the colored die-cut was inserted into the opening with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Brushed Brass Butterflies were added as a finishing touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1rZ-8KbgpIKRIdY57XoS_fOlV6zIc8XZ4zZw12vYokDL1vLgQ-_ODcWiWmEr3oRucOlUb21jTbLt-c4SY8xI-xaE2Vks3__Di0w1TBK7C9zc7wYWAkhyIcVM8wAVqBhzaL_lZv2onIV7c_3eRMsPrNnVOHRD1RlHjK887KES_oUWbcIqlsQ4BYiYSkY/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Dainty%20Delight%20Thoughtful%20Expressions%20sympathy%20card%20-%20Jan%202024%20(17).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside my Stampin' Up!

You could also stock up on cardstock, envelopes and adhesives and use a much loved stamp set or dies in your own stash. </p><div><p><b>More inspiration is just around the corner.</b> I hope you have been inspired to create something beautiful with this beautiful Softly Stippled DSP to share with someone to get them smiling. Now it's time to continue along the blog hop - <i>you're currently with me, Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie, at #11</i> - to get more inspiration from the others... so look at the list below and continue along.

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects based on our <b>Sketch Challenge</b>! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun sketch. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p>I love dogwoods so much! They were everywhere during my childhood days... in fact my parents planted one for me in their natural area. The Detailed Dogwood stamp set is part of Sale-a-Bration so I just had to use it for today's project! Here's the sketch where we were challenged to use some Glimmer and Shine...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cclyf1wpcPrGezNQE5kBwU1JlRq5az3L0Va94Q30dSJ6WSuDtcYV5OdPlKmZgWu5aa3mujo8ew9147E9uHKu_hzU-DO7IvMSss3T_Er2GSgaJBx9oEH-zQFdxmtALgetuZyYRAyOEbc34fgZq9lrv9ud_U4zNJc5BFIZmT6jUFuCvFqakVKPgGMCgqA/s1080/Sketch%20Challenge%20-%20January%202024.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stamping INKspirations January 2024 Sketch Challenge" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cclyf1wpcPrGezNQE5kBwU1JlRq5az3L0Va94Q30dSJ6WSuDtcYV5OdPlKmZgWu5aa3mujo8ew9147E9uHKu_hzU-DO7IvMSss3T_Er2GSgaJBx9oEH-zQFdxmtALgetuZyYRAyOEbc34fgZq9lrv9ud_U4zNJc5BFIZmT6jUFuCvFqakVKPgGMCgqA/w640-h640/Sketch%20Challenge%20-%20January%202024.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">And here's the card it inspired me to create...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqHbLW6Pmqw4ekEJd5hon6rQwMOyg6nQPoxEfkKXGvvqm8war0kOSl7QcMVROZXSJrGpA3A0yEHCqCWRatrCXkCD5bap5ijBrMc440AARNwJK5DU-AOlsPv5R0I2x1u3dEgYQw0ChzhH7v2RIp1MyTvb3kVMW3wE9LQcJ85atSjlR1cuZWbbd3a3HrmW0/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Detailed%20Dogwood%20birthday%20card%20-%20January%202024%20(7).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The Detailed Dogwood was stamped with Pebbled Path ink.

Light Petal Pink was used over the entirety of each blossom while Dark Petal Pink was added in the shaded areas. The centers of the blooms were colored with Light Mossy Meadow with the centers filled with Light Daffodil Delight and Mossy Meadow. Dark Crumb Cake filled in the branches.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The dot image was stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. With the cross of the lines, the dots were more than I liked, so I used my small detailed paint brush to dust off the embossing powder on some of the dots. The completed card layer was adhered to another same size layer to create subtle depth prior to adhering the next layer and the card front.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The <b>Notes of Nature</b> sentiment was stamped with Pebbled Path ink. The <b>Notes of Nature Dies</b> were used to die-cut the Vellum leaves twice which resembled the dogwood leaves image. The sentiment panel was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9J8DKaauvzvgEm5qJnsXWNyQxL_IV8I366JSd2IDoNBfi3wvmEhRoVgIp7gDdp3ktDS7ZH8J1wj6_QHPqzNmuQPEMpdR2V4y4h7o8_QXs461rRWAsaR8IlHZen0lyEG9yw5KClMuf5AzV8RYzhbh6OTSMzxJn_1qC0QXk64e-541Ah6hZYRmrob18Zk/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Detailed%20Dogwood%20birthday%20card%20-%20January%202024%20(5).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

So sit back and enjoy your favorite cuppa as you enjoy your trip Around the World on Wednesday!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>The holidays are behind us now as we embrace the seasons around us. Here in NW Ohio, it is cold and rainy with the temperature dips bringing us "teasers" of snow. So what is the old saying... when you're cold think of something warm? In need of a birthday card, I could not pass up playing with my favorite dies from the Annual Catalog and mixing them with some new products from the new January-April 2024 Mini Catalog! </p><p>Here is the sketch...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXRfShSvRjGsXkDnzPJZJ6y33DSEXPtpDoLplgL6gOlQYupxDpxrVucl4YgX3tbFr37pY8o5NdUXA34Ye4SJdoIBGZOp1lM_aXY6HSdamgEO5PCkHaWOypptTNvBhAN5UtW9LkeREbg-mpUbhxBkDdVYRIP3BXE-XUCKGgaXEf3_qFr31fAEYiy5znZE/s1080/AWOW%20Sketch%20105.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Sketch 105 | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidXRfShSvRjGsXkDnzPJZJ6y33DSEXPtpDoLplgL6gOlQYupxDpxrVucl4YgX3tbFr37pY8o5NdUXA34Ye4SJdoIBGZOp1lM_aXY6HSdamgEO5PCkHaWOypptTNvBhAN5UtW9LkeREbg-mpUbhxBkDdVYRIP3BXE-XUCKGgaXEf3_qFr31fAEYiy5znZE/w400-h400/AWOW%20Sketch%20105.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And this is the card it inspired...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYTvdsGeeo2mfcy11O8mseiJ81lEbl_lI6yfu88N-Y-EaAk5fLImFDVmJJ5V9efQxf4onk8Cp8h5Hzr1vtGbKHl-1z_VyQ1g2A3APJbRPOUjnFt4JYZxPhUHjPwhyBgqVRSxz9Ayuwlhy7F9KJljJca3SnnIMzO6WkGPq7Rp98VRJMo_pC3UA2llyZh_M/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Cheerful%20Daisies%20Bee%20card%20-%20January%202024%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The Crumb Cake square cardstock layer is the perfect size to use the new <b>Everyday Details Dies</b> as a visual division creating two triangles. The Basic White daisies were adhered together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The center disk flowers were colored with Dark Lemon Lolly and Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Markers. The two leaves were colored with a Dark Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends Marker. The delicate Basic White daisy foliage tucked nicely under the petals.</p><p>The <b>Cheerful Daisies</b> banner was die-cut from Petal Pink cardstock. The <b>Translucent Florals</b> sentiment was stamped with Petal Pink ink onto Basic White cardstock, fussy cut and adhered to the Petal Pink banner die-cut. Linen Thread was doubled and wrapped around the banner tying it off with a bow. The assembled banner was adhered to the Crumb Cake layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and tucking the edge underneath. The Crumb Cake layer was adhered to the Petal Pink cardbase.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil8gcInubaPpdcdq9EuOrB1CbrBw97qqLRmKwFNQXz51ivT9kODgb9kXGUTGqfS5p9KWhFb-dG3OZuWNyWihx536jY3cGYVAa18LvgRD0M4imGhyphenhyphenIrtviQ6KsRKw3aq-PJ82eXd8FiRccRct2N2dFsuQuc3T7cLq2A07duVdkFpaMxOGH0ehHD-2URh8A/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Cheerful%20Daisies%20Bee%20card%20-%20January%202024%20(9).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The antennae were stamped, punched and adhered to the bee body with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The wings were punched and adhered to either side of the bee body with Tear & Tape Adhesive. For a special touch, a Mini Action Wobbler was attached to the back directly over the adhesive strip and onto the Crumb Cake cardstock panel. <b>Blooming Pearls</b> were used as a finishing touch.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwzsQovs8ejmiWsKW6qz6Ad7WXEhRDzkaQktIVa4vsB-MxChyDqqicM4wlWrEFgynxJCvyxBdmYn1HTkXpefbhb35cMPQz0FVlm5PVOnWH7RXo5aFp0CVBlF0R_nsMPsI6rQuGLaXHgU3QC5FqNigKX6SZB4nfLNbs9Q51ysVG5GoehoX3Hca4E0RQm4/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Cheerful%20Daisies%20Bee%20card%20-%20January%202024%20(13).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside the Stampin' Up!

I hope you are doing amazing on this last day of 2023. Today I am hopping with some Crafty Collaborators along the Share It Sunday Blog Hop as we share any project that we have created. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!</p><h2>Today's Project</h2><p>Today I am sharing some Christmas cards that I made for some accountability buddies of mine. We met through a personal development program and have been meeting every Thursday evening for three years!

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects for our <b>Sounds of the Season</b> theme challenge! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun theme. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p>Do you enjoy Christmas music as much as I do? Granted the spectrum of songs is as varied as we are individuals. I chose one of my favorites The First Noel... Christmas isn't Christmas until I have heard Johnny Mathis sing this heartfelt classic. You can click <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1YcxASiIXg" target="_blank">here</a> to enjoy his amazing version of this classic. And this is the card inspired by this song.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWQ24uqftpAlVcWRbqplWvE3DIEqPHOpUuOmW3P4qAupGe7WWz5TDpCkbY3Nw_514c_TPwxCmt5L41gBwDWkw5-LnM6LnDc4AcdEg1khxtO1NZqo4ZVkizbOPTg0qT8oi3DHPu_1LcZeCptDByhldHPMuZMN3JLHhGzqszzHUai2IE9QI22xd1fBksa5Y/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Noel%20Nativity%20Christmas%20card%20-%20December%202023%20(24).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

You may wish to use the Adhesive Sheets to back your cardstock for these die-cuts. I chose to use Multipurpose Liquid Glue.</p><p>The Noel die from the Joy of Noel Dies makes a wonderful negative that you can use for other projects if you wish to repurpose your scraps... so die-cut with purpose! </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVmB8ZIsXO-c5pfbaZr3gauUtH46dW4TdEqZcbmP8x_wDr82tbKpOsVs9pmHss7lJU7O8SLTZo69R3lrYDcth6WbHLh7vErAPwTz0qOSKeIDuGsE4UKUmoSBKbf44ERhrOJXXV5OXUu6oq4FCfKpiuqmPrKKBx_UThiUDMulYT64JjXuWrTUXlLoKwx3s/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Noel%20Nativity%20Christmas%20card%20-%20December%202023%20(6).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

A random pattern was created for the remaining lines lining up certain letters so the pattern could be easily replicated. The second full line worked perfectly for lining up the focal point of the card.</p><p>The largest two circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies created the base for the ornament from Crumb Cake cardstock which was die-cut twice. The circles were textured with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder and Crumb Cake ink was added with a Small Blending Brush for added depth. The nativity scene was die-cut from the Night Divine Dies twice from Night of Navy cardstock. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjIxfQHl9dFrjoyenYTPLW2RhhzZFzerZiyEpfPEndjkKylrQDWd3dRW_anDP-6lryeD6zq2n9zR5PNVEHO70TxKC_mqgX3YgBtQn4TGpjV8WZ-9wboT0mPGXyfL5HEeCiZdbrE3zlwZiif69FMXGWvGoJZXhmWkTetVo-rnSZjQv60HnJlawtmKUI5s/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Noel%20Nativity%20Christmas%20card%20-%20December%202023%20(2).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The ornament was secured to the front with a Mini Glue Dot at the bottom of ornament which can be easily removed by the recipient. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcajxXSgN0jo0ZmxxG5CcQfJ_iw5arD54e8jTfX6rYiTCRWtQqxQeeYhlOCjiKHHYCssGLWDAQT-eJUYwcGc7G7zJD67v-5hSrRV8BfkyfCpTk4GF4l2DqqhBZX1Z1d-t24NMyjU4WOTsAtUiM3DFORs9ONZP0vOe5OTZRM3GjEAl37aubrbrsEuHBtcE/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Noel%20Nativity%20Christmas%20card%20-%20December%202023%20(9).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside the Stampin' Up!

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We usually hop on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. Last weekend was a big celebration for many of us as we enjoyed OnStage@Home where we got sneak peeks of what's coming in January thus our schedule change! There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects based on our <b>Color Challenge</b>! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun palette. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p style="text-align: left;">A special uncle earned his angel wings earlier this month as he defeated Parkinson's Disease. This month's color challenge was the perfect inspiration for me to create some of the hardest cards, I've ever had to make.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNbqtwp-Vat_yJeO-6nJ1i5vlK7OhX5RIPZOLut4xeY3rPfRF61I_vPlV4iV0NrizJet85pNRYJ3mZPmzseFNWr4znbcFhTQj8w5gUVoX776dJg2j3sdqLE2K75DtuVVp5oFWyuAA0tI_FpEOOKO7oB-0AGW-oEn42C6-BLQo9LoS9ej7GwHwGz6Tzkas/s1080/SI%20November%202023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Color Inspiration Challenge for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop - November 2023" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNbqtwp-Vat_yJeO-6nJ1i5vlK7OhX5RIPZOLut4xeY3rPfRF61I_vPlV4iV0NrizJet85pNRYJ3mZPmzseFNWr4znbcFhTQj8w5gUVoX776dJg2j3sdqLE2K75DtuVVp5oFWyuAA0tI_FpEOOKO7oB-0AGW-oEn42C6-BLQo9LoS9ej7GwHwGz6Tzkas/w640-h640/SI%20November%202023.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Crushed Curry | Early Espresso | Granny Apple Green | Crumb Cake | Azure Afternoon</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8ehpTCn_L6zffN2ER0whi9DWq8ZZb_8jdjMIRn1Ren_Uh3rlLoQelFQCF0Dn6NdJxjqDDtHrv5GtSQuiFAwDYtb3nYKeqSDHBqv4ZZPR0cSWOmzaJG6f_euaKYesAHe5DMVoWqATvyDUNldScz3yc4-agYuILJcpKmqnyv_j5j5f6XgT9dBoSB4a8eDU/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Sympathy%20cards%20-%20November%202023%20(10).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

I love challenges!</p><p style="text-align: left;">The Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks has 4 different masks to create this beautiful sunflower. It actually consists of three different sunflowers and three different leaves. Keeping it true to the challenge, I chose one leaf and one sunflower. For the simple cards, I used four of the colors (Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso and Azure Afternoon) in the challenge blending them on Basic White Cardstock. Layering them up on Crumb Cake was also keeping it simple with simple layers. Both cards were adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRnnSfEBVcnGPQi81NTjtuJGbVV_-oTX4iOtxWcPoOIo9oFC4whSC0wPQX-on0yFGL5qExmCrrYlW6-gemqzAcPEv5KWPjOl83s5iF2zKKXRrhxkqOeJpVgE3JQnZuddqh6tJyzdrHQmGlzSwFRMvLJCv4N6OhZmGgNicV4wjI-GCJGXPnBEEKSUYlwJE/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Sympathy%20cards%20-%20November%202023%20(8).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The blending was done a bit heavier with this second card. Each of the layers was edged along the sides with the broad tip of the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker for a subtle hint of dimension.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Y50RjLP05InY0WNkp3_l8-HhLbgFjxeATnV9J81krnXhD4Sik4G162DS3lVhqIOvKX8-Ve_Wp2cWlS1dlbw31c1B_iooe0ugoSTw3_9SXQ_zhByAHLS1f945CsSg6MCIenhiFDt1A1eXqRqCBrh6ZcxuUHlFhgDjGoWhIq-ztlc2fw8DqEvnWJk5fs4/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Sympathy%20cards%20-%20November%202023%20(15).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The sunflower and leaves were fussy cut... the white heat embossed sentiment was die-cut... the bottom card layer was embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and frayed along the edges with my Paper Snips... Linen Thread was wrapped around twice and tied off in a bow. To sturdy the soft embossed and frayed layer, it was double layered with Crumb Cake Cardstock creating additional dimension to the card front. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4X2puGBw7GH8drRgI8LDPU0pZf6zt6xA0s5-m8DFiJQGvPkVlZ0_MrSefD-n3hk5ARt809KXNMtFrcjnFCesjxA34V4tfhF1CrdUDHz8t5wWzoIfcToCdbkFpjJNdifYSrQvqHs_ksq5tNJ2Ws3Pgif1PZNJ6pXLoqVNUyJO7jEPWsKe3gX6ygstrkgM/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Sympathy%20cards%20-%20November%202023%20(12).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop as we share inspiration from our <b><i>Color Inspiration Challenge</i></b> this month! There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and enjoy your favorite coffee, tea, water, or smoothie as we share some handmade projects with you!<h2>Today's Project</h2><p>This month's photo inspiration is perfect for this time of year here in NW Ohio as the leaves are changing colors. The colors this year are so beautiful and have been breathtaking on numerous occasions against the dark gray clouds passing through this month. </p><p>Here is this month's challenge...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXgzwq5tPuwtMrfs_KZSddIoiORRs_zY0Xi5Maet4XXyLzPBsctipyayWjXCHJsbWOf050QfNjXaMOUZa0I88_6qNg0ERs_I6Kw71KeHRJXCzB11zuBRR3l8RRdOkfSpVUZ709ZY8Da3snRhsLEenGs592L2V50XpFempmXmyslHMFUHQj7omOunifaw/s1080/IIBH%20October%202023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop - October 2023 Color Inspiration Challenge" border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXgzwq5tPuwtMrfs_KZSddIoiORRs_zY0Xi5Maet4XXyLzPBsctipyayWjXCHJsbWOf050QfNjXaMOUZa0I88_6qNg0ERs_I6Kw71KeHRJXCzB11zuBRR3l8RRdOkfSpVUZ709ZY8Da3snRhsLEenGs592L2V50XpFempmXmyslHMFUHQj7omOunifaw/w640-h640/IIBH%20October%202023.png" width="640" /></a></div>And this is what it inspired me to create.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0RAcPC8dM8eIsuOYsrxtCRMHIy6NA9Wg7NJPg7HeGYiLwz5NA6sLFAFE5Ok_uVdP0-X54ZPo4AppEATFhq_wQpnJmCrJZHMBGsGEWNv2_-1W6Lc0x5gz8Ue-iRqdL1DnPF18cJgrehRvkLujuxLwTyXoNWa-iHHqW-kPo818lpBkGX57-Xw1HmdfB814/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Leaves%20cards%20-%20October%202023.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!

The <b><i>Autumn Leaves</i></b> oak leaf was stamped with Crushed Curry ink and rubbed with the Small Blending Brush for a softer stamped image creating an image that was between a stamped image and an off-stamped image. The stamped leaf was die-cut with its coordinating die. The leaf stem was die-cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and adhered with Stampin' Seal. The sentiment was white heat embossed on Crumb Cake cardstock and die-cut with an <i style="font-weight: bold;">Autumn Leaves Die</i>. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Linen Thread was double wrapped around the Basic White layer and tied off with a bow. The layer was double layered for a subtle floating effect. The sentiment panels were adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals. The leaf was adhered with doubled Stampin' Dimensionals and a tad of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuQx3A0F5TdnXO56lnvm4KP3LRCAevnMXuVSPUD7rvHOIEtWeSG5BAHMqN91xlyj8fvymgrqHGbiuEvU7L97DUilsL-DJ8vFTzWOKRvNcitjuUREqwwcTwaSTugjuij30wtxqX1nLNloHAYqpvwBaqlhB2BT4ldDnV384WywSXpxwta4VxTjuPjJ5-L-Y/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Abundant%20Beauty%20Leaves%20cards%20-%20October%202023%20(16).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Inside the Stampin' Up!

I'm so glad that you're here and hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I am hopping with some of my talented stamping friends from around the world who love creating with Stampin' Up!® products as much as I do! We love hopping on the second weekends of the month - Saturday or Sunday depending on where you are in the world - and love sharing lots of inspiration with you. There are several of us hopping today - you will find the list to follow along towards the bottom of my blog post - so sit back and relax with your favorite cuppa as you peruse the hop. </p><p>This month we are sharing projects based on our <b>Sketch Challenge</b>! I am sure that you will find lots of different interpretations and inspiration from this fun sketch. </p><div><h2>Today's Project</h2></div><p style="text-align: left;">We have such an inspirational sketch this month that I couldn't resist making some Christmas cards.

The wisemen did not find Jesus until he was approximately two years old, so I chose to use my paper snips to accurately depict what that blessed night portrayed more realistically. I also learned that the location of where the manger was would have also been more like that of a basement level... another reason I chose to use my paper snips. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHmuYVYnNEkXavu5y7YAYbKhTOWdJJJw-Lsa0HPCUTNVOF8SbQni9mwBQ1T9hLaUfA61bny1f8IXsxTtrKKTJi7MHZpUFfAa0hvCgoJybjWADUfR5HgsO4lY4fNIflEU9e04P0GnWxGhoomhHjoNQEd7vI5AXAkLyJWLY-VUpqysauySa9OeUDHtdBbwI/s1920/Stampin%E2%80%99%20Up!%20Night%20Divine%20card%20-%20October%202023%20(9).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Stampin' Up!
