Welcome to the July 2020 Candy Hearts Blog Hop! This month we are featuring the new 2020-2022 In Colors. I used three of them on my card: Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, and Misty Moonlight. I used Memories & More (M&M) products from the Flowers for Every Season Suite along with the bloom & Grow Stamp set and Forever Flourishing Dies. The matching M&M card bases and envelopes and the M&M card pack make it a cinch to create a great card in no time.

Welcome to the July 2020 OSAT Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Pretty in Pink, so we’re featuring the amazing pinks in the Stampin’ Up! color line up. As usual, I couldn’t choose just one, so I used them all: Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Rococo Rose, Melon Mambo, and Magenta Madness. I cut strips of card stock in all the colors and arranged them in a sort of pinwheel design for the front of the card. The sentiment I cut using the Playful Alphabet Dies, Whisper White Card stock, and the new Foam Adhesive Sheets. I stamped the frame from the Swirly Frames stamp set and heat embossed it in white. For the tag, I covered one side in the same strips, and cut the top with the Fancy Tag Topper Punch.
Be sure to hop around to all the stops! I can’t wait to see what all the blog hop team members have for us today!

It’s time for the July 2020 ICS Blog Hop! This month’s theme is My Favorite Bundle. How anyone can pick just one favorite out of this Annual Catalog, I have no idea, so I chose a bundle that I hadn’t used yet, the So Much Happy Bundle. What a fun sounding name for a super fun bundle! My card is Happy Happy Happy! There are numerous ways to complete the sentiment, like birthday, anniversary, retirement, etc. I left mine without for now until I decide when to use it. I will probably sstamp the word birthday on the inside of the card base so it is hidden by the part of the card front where the green streamer is.

It’s time for the 06-2020 PPPBH. This month’s kit is called Box of Sunshine and it’s filled with enough goodies to make 8 bright and cheery cards so you can send some sunshine someone’s way. I used some pieces from the kit and some extra card stock and ink to create a card and a small treat box with lovely lemons on them, because what’s cheerier that lemons, right? I took a cue from the kit for the colors, which are listed on the back of the kit’s instruction sheet.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Shaded Spruce card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- Crushed Curry CS layer cut to 3-3/8″ x 4-5/8″
- Poppy Parade CS layer cut to 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
- Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
- Poppy Parade CS cut to 6-1/4″ x 5-1/2″, scored along the longer side at 1/4″, 1-1/4″, 3-1/4″, and 4-1/4″, and along the shorter side at 1″, 4″, and 5″ (See the diagram below. Remove all red areas with Paper Snips. Note that the smaller tabs are tapered and the wide ones have straight sides.)
Stamped with the Box of Sunshine stamp set:
- sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto one of the banners from the kit
- lines in Poppy Parade ink onto the Poppy Parade CS card layer and the outside of the box
- NOTE: I stamped the box after I had scored and cut it. I think it would be easier to stamp on the card stock before doing that.
- lines in Shaded Spruce ink onto the front of the card base
Cut using the Detailed Trio Punch:
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Crushed Curry CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
- Poppy Parade CS layer glued onto the Crushed Curry CS layer

- sentiment adhered over the lemon using Stampin’ Dimensionals at each end
- 3 Shaded Spruce rhinestones applied onto the card front
- Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
Assembled the box:
- burnished the folds in the box with a Bone Folder
- rounded the two corners of the box top tab using the Detailed Trio Punch
- long side tab adhered onto the inside of the opposite end using Tear & Tape
- on the bottom of the box, folded in the back tab, then adhered the side tabs to it
- adhered the front bottom tab over the 2 side tabs (Doing it this way hides the little side tabs between the two full size tabs.)
- adhered 2 large lemons and leaves onto the front of the box using glue dots
- 3 Shaded Spruce rhinestones applied onto the front of the box

It’s time for the 06-2020 APPT Blog Hop! This month’s kit is called Box of Sunshine, and it’s all about sending some sunshine to those who need it. Even the box is yellow, and there’s a label in the kit that covers the Paper Pumpkin logo, so you can mail some sunshiney goodies in it. For my alternate projects today, I used the kit to make a Scrappy Strip card and a treat box.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global June 2020 Blog Hop! This month we’re featuring new products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I used the new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle (Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set & Sunflowers Dies) as well as a few of the new 2020-2022 In Colors (Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, and Just Jade.) I used Press n Seal plastic wrap to keep all the little pieces of the die cuts in the right place. I’ve used this technique several times in the last couple weeks. I printed the photo in sepia so it would match the yellow/brown feel of the page.

Here’s what I made:
My dear, sweet cousin Annette and her husband were both infected with COVID-19 last month. He has been in ICU since May 19, and on a ventilator since June 6, but he’s still hanging on. She went into ICU on May 21 and died on June 1.
S
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Early Espresso card stock (CS) cut to 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″
- Bumblebee CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-5/8″
- So Saffron CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/2″
- So Saffron CS cut to 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″
- Early Espresso CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 6-1/8″
- So Saffron CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 7/8″
Stamped with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set:
- sentiment and sunflowers (large and small) in Early Espresso ink onto the 4″ x 5-1/2″ So Saffron CS
- I also used the Early Espresso ink pad to ink just the very edges of the stamped CS piece.
Cut using the Sunflowers Dies:
- one detailed sunflower from a scrap of So Saffron CS
- one detailed sunflower from a scrap of Bumblebee CS
- 4 leaves from a scrap of Just Jade CS
- NOTE: I applied Press n Seal plastic wrap over the tops of all the die cuts to keep all the little pieces in place while I transferred them to the page.
Colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers:
- stamped sunflowers in So Saffron, Just Jade, and Cinnamon Cider
- die cut sunflower at top left in So Saffron
Assembled the page:
- 11-3/4″ square Early Espresso CS glued onto a piece of 12″ x 12″ Bumblebee CS
- stamped So Saffron CS glued onto the 4-1/8″ x 5-5/8″ Bumblebee CS, then glued onto the Early Espresso CS background
- wrote name and dates on the So Saffron CS strip and adhered it onto the 4″ x 6″ photo using Stampin’ Seal
- photo adhered onto the 4-1/8″ x 6-1/8″ Early Espresso CS, then onto the 4-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ So Saffron CS, using Stampin’ Seal
- NOTE: I never use a wet adhesive, like glue, on photos.
- outline parts removed from both die cut sunflowers – very carefully, making sure none of the inner petals came off of the Press n Seal
- Bumblebee sunflower outline glued onto the top left of the Early Espresso CS background
- applied glue onto the backs of all the So Saffron sunflower petals and used the Press n Seal to line them up inside the Bumblebee outline, then colored the petals with the So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Marker
- So Saffron sunflower outline cut in half with my Paper Snips and glued onto the Early Espresso background so the cut edges would be covered up by the photo
- Bumblebee sunflower (petals only) cut into 2 different size pieces, then applied glue to the backs of the petals and used the Press n Seal to place them so the cut edges would be covered up by the photo
- photo adhered onto the Early Espresso background using Stampin’ Seal
- leaves glued around the sunflowers, some whole, some only outlines, some only insides
- Pumpkin Pie rhinestones applied onto the Early Espresso background in a meandering pattern
