Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Bloggers Choice

  • Saturday, 6 December 2025




Time for a Stamping With Friends Blog Hop!  There is no theme for this hop - it is Bloggers Choice.  I created this pretty card on a recent Live using the Creative Haven Bundle from Stampin' Up!®. 

The bundle is part of the Hobby Haven Suite and is so much fun!  Great stamps, fun tags and gorgeous Designer Series paper with lots of ephemera!

Instructions

  1. Cut Pool Party cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
  2. Cut Early Espresso cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  3. Cut Designer Series Paper 3 3/4" x 5"
  4. Adhere to Early Espresso cardstock
  5. Adhere to card base.
  6. Stamp sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Early Espresso ink.
  7. Cut out using Tag and hole die.
  8. Attach to Pool Party banner tag from Ephemera using 2 strands of Early Espresso Linen Thread. Tie a bow.
  9. Use Blending Brush to add light wash of Early Espresso ink to white sprigs from ephemera.
  10. Adhere behind tags
  11. Adhere tags to card base using Dimensionals.
  12. Adhere embellishments
  13. Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  14. Stamp sentiment and stars using Early Espresso ink
  15. Adhere to the inside of the card.
