Welcome to the Creative Inking Blog Hop, I am so excited to be part of this hop and I know you will enjoy all the projects this month. I chose to use a few of the products on the Retirement List this year. View the retirement Lists - Annual Catalog - Click Here Occasions Catalog - Click Here I used the Sunshine Sayings stamp set and the coordinating Sunshine Wishes Dies. I also incorporated a fun technique called Shimmer Paint Resist using the Glossy White Cardstock which is also on the Retirement List. I used the brushstroke image for the background on my Lemon Lime Twist card base. I also used Berry Burst and Powder Pink on the card. All three of these colors are retiring so if you need cardstock or ink refills, get them soon as things always sell out! I ran the sentiment through the Big Shot with the sunshine die and snipped it apart to get the work "hi". I used our Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets on the back of the cardstock before I ran it through so both words would have adhesive on them and I wouldn't have to fuss with liquid glue. I added the large flower and some of the sentiments in the set to the inside of the card. I purposely didn't try to get them even or straight as I didn't want to fuss with that either!!

Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop, I am so excited to be hopping again this month. Our theme for March is Bring on the Birthdays I chose to use the Forever Lovely, Daisy Delight and Picture Perfect Birthday stamp sets for my projects. I love yellow and gray together and Daffodil Delight and Gray Granite are the perfect choices. I did a bit of masking on the flowers on the card, you can check out my video below if you are interested in learning how to do it. A few rhinestones are the perfect accent to the flower layer. My sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthday set, I love the font in this set. Added a flower and some of the masked sprigs to the inside of the card for some interest. Stamp and crop two of the daisy images, layer them together, fussy cut some leaves and add a Rolo to the center with Mini Glue Dots. Super easy treat! I created some of these fun Rolo flowers in a Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago, you can view that video HERE.

The Berry Burst 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon is the perfect accent for this card. The fern leaves were added with Memento Tuxedo Black.

I have a fun set of projects for you today! I received my preorder for the Sale-a-bration 2nd release and I was so excited to use it!! I first created the greeting card and then I thought it would be fun to have a coordinating 3D item. I had already made myself a template for the Sweet Cups but I thought it would be cool if I could share the template with you guys so you didn't have to sacrifice one of your cups to make one. You can find the template below. You can wrap the Sweet Cups with any designer series paper and we have a lot of patterns to choose from. :-) I used the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set for the sentiment on both projects and I cut them with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. I layered the DSP on a piece of Pool Party and then to a card base of Thick Whisper White. Our thick cardstocks are the best for card bases! The Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon is the perfect accent for this paper. The little strip of Lemon Lime Twist was cropped with the Decorative Ribbon Punch and I added it to the back of the sentiment. A few Glimmer Dots in the center of the succulents finishes it off.
