SF-2022 January Blog Hop - Life’s Occasions

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we Celebrate Life's Occasions!

 ~*~*~*~*~  

This month is all about Celebrating Life's Occasions - all those special days in our lives.   I chose to celebrate birthdays with a fun Ladybug card and gift set -

I used the Hello Ladybug bundle for my  projects - stamped the flowers in two generations using Bumblebee and Calypso Coral inks.  Scattered flowers everywhere.

For the card I layered that on black and then onto the white base.  The leaf from the set was stamped in Old Olive and fussy cute.  Sentiment is also from the set.  To finish it off I stamped and punched the wings of the lady bug.  Punched the body out of black and attached together with glue dots.  Then I wanted to make a little Bag-a-lope gift package to go with it -

These are so fun to make and perfect for all those little gifts you want to gift, ie - gift cards, jewelry, candy and more.  After folding - I used many of the same elements to decorate it so it would match the card.  Here's a view from the side.

To finish both projects off I added twine from the Fan Baker's Twine and some of our Red Rhinestone Basic jewels to add some fun touches.  The twine doubles as a closure on the Bag-a-lope!  Here it is from the front -

That ladybug is just so stinkin' cute!  I hope you enjoyed these projects and got some inspiration!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop January 2022 - Sale-a-bration and Birthdays!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for January 2022 featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting

projects that are Sale-a-bration/Birthdays!

~*~*~*~*~

I love the way our image stamp sets and our Designer series paper and our sentiment stamps all work together to make beautiful creations. For my card I used two Sale-a-bration products - Sunshine & Rainbows DSP and the Driving By stamp set. But I wanted to also go with the theme of birthdays, so I pulled my sentiments for this card from Best Year in our annual catalog - and they work great together!!

My card is a card on a card. This time of year I have tons of birthdays coming up - so quick and easy is the name of the game. I posted a video of a similar card and how I made it on my Facebook Live 1/7/22 - CLICK HERE.

The measurements for this one are a bit different - base is Crushed Curry 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"; DSP layer is 4" x 5 1/4". The for the little card you'll take a base of 4" x 5 1/2" and score it on the short side at 2 3/4" fold and attach to the base. Inside is Basic White 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" and a scrap of DSP. Outside is a 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" piece of Bermuda Bay; and a 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" piece of Basic White which is stamped and colored with blends. I also colored some rhinestone gems with a Bermuda Bay Blend and added as bling. I love the look and made several of the same card in no time flat - hope you liked it too!
