Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


Time for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world who participate each month to share projects we are working on. Our theme this month is "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle".  I created the background for my card using the small bubble wrap that I got in a package.  It creates an interesting pattern when inked up and applied to cardstock.

Today's card uses the upcoming Hello Irresistible Bundle that will be available starting on March 1st in my Online Store.  I love the sentiments and fonts.  You are going to love these products!

I created my card during a recent Sketch Challenge using this sketch.

The colours are a bit unusual for me, but I thought I'd give them a try.  What do you think?

Instructions

  1. Cut Crushed Curry cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold and burnish on scoreline to form card base.
  2. Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  3. Ink up a piece of small bubble wrap using Bermuda Bay ink.  Stamp off a couple of times and then stamp on the Basic White cardstock
