February Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Welcome to the February Sweet Stampede Blog Hop! We are doing a sketch challenge this month!

My project this month showcases some new product from the January Scrapbooking Brochure! I'm using the Everyday You and Me Bundle along with the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper. I love the combination of Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat in this DSP and I used the same colors to stamp the floral images for my card front.

As you can see this was a pretty simple card and I did make a couple of changes to the sketch layout. I love a good sketch and use them often as a starting point when designing the cards for my classes. If you haven't used one before you should give it a try! The nice thing about sketches is that you get to interpret them how you want so just have fun with it.

Measurements:

Basic White Thick cardstock 4-1/4" x 11", folded in half (card base)
Designer Series Paper layer (wash print) 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card front
Pretty Peacock cardstock layer 2-3/4" x 3", embossed
Designer Series Paper layer (strip print) 2-1/2" x 3-3/4"
Basic White cardstock 4" x 5" for stamping and die-cutting floral images

January Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Welcome to the new Sweet Stampede Blog Hop! The theme for this month is New Mini Catalog!

My project showcases the Memorable Blooms Bundle (#164826) from the new January - April 2025 Mini Catalog. It is a gorgeous new floral line art stamp set with really pretty sentiments that cover a bunch of different occasions. The coordinating dies cut out the floral images and there are also some extras that will add some really cool interest to your cards.

I used the large hexagon shaped die that is included to cut out the portion of the front of the card. I adhered an embossed piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock to the back side of the card front to fill in the opening. The Basic White die cut is another fun die included and I added that with small dabs of liquid glue to the front of the card.

The large floral image was stamped in Memento Ink and then I used my Light and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends to color the flowers and the Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends for the leaves. I like to use a little bit of Wink of Stella on my images to add some sparkle and sometimes it helps even out the coloring too. I love that there are some coordinating dies to cut out the images plus a fun greenery die cut that I adhered in Old Olive cardstock to the front of the card behind the floral image.

I added a heat embossed sentiment to the card as well as some of the new Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins you can find in the new Sale-A-Bration Brochure that are FREE with a $60 purchase. Of course we needed a bow to finish it all off! I hope you enjoy the card I've shared. I thought it turned out quite lovely and can't wait to get it in the mail this week.
