Welcome to the August 2020 PPP Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called World’s Greatest, and it’s all about celebrating the heroes in our lives. You can celebrate a teacher, friend, coach, kid, or anyone else you think is the greatest. For my projects, I used the kit along with some extra card stock to create a card and gift bag. I used the ribbon on the card to make it look more like a race medal than a blue ribbon prize. My husband used to be a runner and triathlete, so there’s quite a collection of these medals in our house. I used glue and Stampin’ Seal for my projects, but you can absolutely use the glue dots that come with the kit. You could also use Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape.
Be sure to hop all the way around to all the stops so you can see all the great alternative projects made with this fun kit by this talented group.

Welcome to the August 2020 InKing Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Autumn Weather. To make my card, I used the Freezin’ Fun Bundle (Freezin’ Fun and Freezin’ Friends Dies,) Snow Time Dies, Autumn Punch Pack, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, and lots of colors of card stock.
To set the scene, imagine, this cute little bunny just minding his own business, hanging out in a big pile of leaves. And then all of a sudden, a big gust of wind threatens to move the pile right out from under him. Poor little guy. He doesn’t seem to mind though. As a matter of fact, he seems to be enjoying having his ears flapping in the wind.
Since I wanted the leaves to look like they’re blowing off the card, I made the card base 5-1/4″ x 4″ (just a tad smaller than the usual 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″.)

Cut using Paper Snips:
scarf from the DSP bunny
excess skis from the Whisper White CS bunny (although I could have gotten away without doing this because I used enough leaves to cover them)

DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base

Welcome to the August 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is New Beginnings, so we’re featuring projects celebrating new job, new marriage, new school year, etc. I used the Senior Years stamp set to make a happy retirement card and gift box. You may think of retirement as the end of a career, but I think of it as the beginning of a new life without the day to day worries of a job. I used the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder to echo the plaid pants the man is wearing. When I think of a retired man, the first thing that pops into my head is a man wearing mismatched patterns to play golf. And this guy seems very happy with his wardrobe choice, from the Pumpkin Pie vest to the Blackberry Bliss plaid pants.

Welcome to the August 2020 ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Punch Me Out, and we’re featuring Stampin’ Up!’s amazing punches. I used the Autumn Punch Pack and coordinating Beautiful Autumn stamp set for my project today, as well as the Pinewood Plank 3D Embossing Folder. The embossing folder creates the background for the wreath, which is one color (white) but made of two different leaf types. To make sure the wreath turned out round, I drew a circle on the background layer by tracing a Gold Hoop Embellishment with a pencil, and glued the leaves around that.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the projects from this great group of stampers!

Welcome to the August 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Birthday. I used the Whiskey Business stamp set, the Tasteful Labels Dies, and In Good Taste Designer Series paper to create my card. The main colors are browns, yellows, and white. I added a few Real Red touches because the person I made this card for really likes red. If you don’t want the red, you can leave the Star Designer Elements copper, and use Early Espresso ink on the inside of the card.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops to see all the great projects this talented group has for you! The amazing Lisa Ann Bernard of Queen B Creations is joining us, and I’m sure she has made something wonderful to share.

Welcome to the July 2020 Inking Royalty Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Christmas in July! This is the perfect time to start planning your holiday cards and invitations, especially since so many folks are staying home and have more time. My card for today can be used for Christmas or really any winter occasion. I used the Peace & Joy Bundle (Peace & Joy stamp set and Joy Dies,) Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper, and Snowflake Sequins from the upcoming August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, which goes live August 4. If you’d like to order from the new Mini Catalog now instead of having to wait, click here to join.
After reading my post today, I hope you’ll hop around to all the stops. There’s so much talent in this group and you don’t want to miss any of it!

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
Misty Moonlight card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
Whisper White CS layer cut to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ (stripes)
Whisper White CS layer cut to 4-1/8″ x 2-7/8″
DSP layer cut to 4″ x 2-3/4″ (snow)
Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Peace & Joy stamp set:
HAPPY and AND in Misty Moonlight ink onto a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
BRIGHT in Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off three times, onto the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS (I wanted it to be very light, like a watermark, so I could write over it.)
Cut using the Joy Dies:
BRIGHT using all three dies, the middle one from a scrap of Misty Moonlight CS, and the other two from a scrap of Whisper White Thick CS
Cut using Paper Snips:
HAPPY and AND
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
the 3 BRIGHT die cuts glued together
BRIGHT die cut stack, HAPPY, and AND adhered onto the smaller DSP layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals
smaller DSP layer glued onto the smaller Whisper White CS layer
smaller Whisper White CS layer glued onto the larger DSP layer
larger DSP layer glued onto the larger Whisper White CS layer
larger Whisper White CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
3 Snowflake Sequins glued onto the larger DSP layer
5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
What I would do differently:
I’m not yet used to having the new adhesives, so I forget to use them. For today’s card, I would have put the card stock for the top two BRIGHT die cuts on an Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. Then I could have just peeled off the backing to adhere the pieces, instead of gluing them. I would have put the card stock for the bottom (largest) BRIGHT die cut on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before die cutting. I also would have put the stamped sentiments on a Foam Adhesive Sheet before cutting them with Paper Snips.
