The Flowering Tulips Bundle is one of my favourites in the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalogue. This bundle is part of the Flowering Fields Suite which is amazing with 2 bundles, embellishments, ribbon and stunning Designer Series Paper.
Check out my bright and cheery birthday card - so pretty in Poppy Parade and Petal Pink. The stamps in this bundle are two step stamping and the tulips are stamped in both colours.
It's time for another Share It Sunday Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world and we're sharing our projects with you as part of this blog hop. There is no theme for our blog hop today. I'm sharing an adorable card I created for a swap featuring the Stampin' Up!® Hello Ladybug Bundle. I was inspired by Michele Jutrisa - she used this technique of adding a floating layer of vellum to a card in a recent Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp and I loved it.
Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Melva Peters from Canada.
The theme this month is a colour challenge using Early Espresso, Merry Merlot, Poppy Parade, Polished Pink and Blushing Bride. Such a pretty combination! For our challenge we can use any or all of the colours - I've used Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade for my cloud inspired card.
It's time for the Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop! Today we're sharing "Anything But a Card" projects. I had fun making these little baskets featuring the Stampin' Up!® Blessings of Home products.
When I saw the Stampin' Up!® Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set in the January to June Mini Catalogue, I knew I wanted to make a card using the heat embossing technique. I had fun making this card with white embossing and Blackberry Bliss card stock. Isn't it pretty?
Have you seen the Hello Ladybug Bundle in the Stampin' Up!® January to June Mini Catalogue? Oh my gosh, it is the cutest bundle ever! I have been having so much fun playing with it. My card today uses the stamps to create a fun background and then the punch to make an adorable ladybug. Check out the spots - I used the Black Matte Dots.
Welcome to the Stamping With Friends February Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you. You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This month our theme is Easter/Spring.
I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!
Today I'm participating in the CASE a Friend Blog Hop! CASE means "Copy and Share Everything". It's a great way to be inspired by creations by others. Just make sure you acknowledge who you have CASE'd from when you share it.
It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

We all have our country listed - so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin' Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin' Up!® teams.
Have you seen the amazing Stampin' Up! Natural Tones Stampin' Blends? They are amazing! Perfect for skin tones, but also perfect for colouring images where you need more brown/natural tones. I used them to create this beautiful background using alcohol on vellum. I love this technique and I particularly love the colours you can create with these Blends!
For today's card I've used the Artfully Composed Suite from the Stampin' Up! Jan to June Mini Catalogue. I have to admit this suite wasn't on my radar until I started to see the amazing projects being created with it. The Creativity Abounds Design Team also used it for our Stamp Camp in January. Now I'm in love with it! The projects are always so bright and cheery!
Have you noticed the Cactus Cuties Bundle in the Stampin' Up!® January to June Mini Catalogue? As it name suggests, it is so cute and adorable and fun. I created this fun card on a recent "Time for a Technique" Video where I showed how to do masking. This is a fun technique and works really well when stamping multiple images and want to make one appear behind the other. So easy and so effective!
I'm excited to participate again in Kylie's Monthly International Blog Highlights for March.
The theme is "Thank You".
I am loving the new Waves of the Ocean Products just released by Stampin' Up! and used them to create this pretty Bendi Fancy Fold Card. These cards look like they are complicated, but they really aren't! Check out this pretty ocean scene! My favourite is the pelican! It takes me back to the amazing vacations in Mexico and sitting on the beach sipping on a margarita and nibbling on Coconut Shrimp! Yum!!!
I love to use my Blending Brushes to create beautiful backgrounds for cards. I created this background using Blushing Bride, Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape. I love my Blending Brushes for all sorts of techniques, but in particular they are amazing to create a background.
Here's the card I created with the Daisy Garden Stamp Set. You can check out my Video on creating this background. You will find that the Stamparatus works really well to stamp the large background image - it is much easier to stamp than with the large block.
Welcome to the Stamping With Friends February Blog Hop as we share what projects we are currently working on to inspire you. You will be visiting with our Design Team Members as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. This month our theme is Mini Albums or Loaded Envelopes. I was so excited and I've had my eye on doing a Loaded Envelope for awhile. I have to admit, the envelope is easy. Deciding what to put in it was the hardest part!
I used the Waves of the Ocean Suite for my envelope. This is a new suite that was just released by Stampin' Up! The Bundle will be in the upcoming Annual Catalogue, but the Designer Series Paper, Foil Sheets and Rhinestones are only available while supplies last through May 2nd! They are all stunning - you don't want to wait to add this to your stash!
Check this out! I'm sure there are other ways to make an envelope, but I used the measurements for a 12" x 12" piece of Designer Series Paper from The Scottish Crafter.
It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.

It's time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month we're focusing on Mini Cards! I have such fun making 3"x3" cards and today I've created a set to show off some of the In Colors that will be retiring at the end of April! It will be so sad to see them go! The Acetate Gift Boxes are perfect to hold the Mini Cards and give them away as a gift. Add a belly band and you're all set!
Instructions
You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
Now it's time to check out all of the amazing projects in our blog hop.
I hope that we have inspired you.
