http://www.ssinkspiration.blogspot.com/
 
Thank you so much for joining us for our March Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop! Temperatures are on the rise and there is just one short week until the official first day of Spring! We are all so ready to put away our snowflakes and break out the flowers in our craft rooms! Stampin' Up! has so many options for Spring-time flowers and we are showing you just a few of those today!

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number #3 on the Stylin’ Stampin’ Squad blog hop Diana E. of Stampin' Fun with Diana . If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn’t work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

 
Thanks for joining me here at the Blog Hop today.  I am happy to be sharing a card using one my my favorite flower stamp sets.  I made it for my friend Breelin, she was feeling a little under the weather and I thought this might cheer her up!
 
I love this set is because its simple but pretty when colored.  One of the elements I enjoy making for a card is a banner, but like for most people, they can be tricky to make.  trying to get the two points even can well...be a pain in the you know where!?!  I am in "love" with the new banner framelit set.  It makes for a quick and perfect banner cut out.   I used it to cut out the white layer that I stamped with one of my favorite flower sets right now, Peaceful Petals  (which is colored with my blender pen/crisp cantaloupe ink) and the layer in champagne glitter paper.  I also added the same glitter paper as an accent with the sentiment.  I couldn't stop there, with the gold.  I cut a small piece of the new gold sequin trim and tied it on with a piece of the new crisp cantaloupe twine from the Sweet Sorbet accessory pack.  This is part of a special pack that you can earn for FREE when you place a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration, Jan. 28 thru March 31, 2014.

 
Along with the outside, I pulled off a few of the sequins and scattered them around and attached them with glue dots.  I also added two banners to decorate the inside, cut a piece of the crisp cantaloupe ruffled ribbon and Wa-La...my card is complete!

I feel pretty special to have this card sitting on my "special card" shelf in my office! This card is even more beautiful in person! I love the glimmer paper with the gold sequins!

Erica Bass said...

Oh my gosh! How funny that we used the exact same stamp for the hop. :) I love the colors you used paired with the paper.

Diana Eichfeld said...

Ooooh...I am loving the champagne glimmer and gold accents! Crisp Cantaloupe is a great complement to the glimmer. Fun accents on the inside, too!

Wow! What a card! I love all the little details! Very pretty! Those gold sequins are my favorite!

Tonya said...

The champagne glimmer paper and crisp cantaloupe combo is perfect together. I would not have paired them. Your card is so pretty!
