SF-2022 June Blog Hop - Lots of Layers!

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we play with Lots of Layers!

~*~*~*~*~

This month is all about projects are about layers - not one, not two - probably not even three - but MORE. I'm a clean and simple stamper - so lots of layers is not my norm - but it was sure fun doing these projects! I've been playin this week with a new favorite set -

#159110 Amazing Year $22.00*

So I decided to use it for my projects today - First my card -

I just love how this turned out - I started with a base of Basic White, a layer of Sweet Sorbet, a layer of Basic Black, a layer of Parakeet Party embossed with the Pretty Flowers EF - that's just for the base. Then I layered a scallop circle of Sweet Sorbet, a circle of Basic White and then stamped the flower bouquet from the set, colored with blends and fussy cut - this is all popped up on dimensionals. Here's the inside of the card - just love that sentiment -

So for my 3D project - I wanted it to match and landed on using the cute new Mini Pocket Envelope die set to make an adorable gift card holder. I mimicked the look of the card but reduced layers a little due to the size of the pocket - it's perfect for a pair of earrings, a necklace, or in my case a gift card.

How cute is that - I love that it is a perfect fit for a gift card - one of my favorite things to give, especially as most of my family is far away and I send things by mail.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop June 2022 - Sympathy!

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

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I was searching for a sympathy sentiment when I came across 'Peaceful Moments' on page 29 of the new Annual catalog - I love the combo of script and non-script in these sentiments. Then on page 28 I saw the perfect card to CASE - it's the blue one with flowers - and I loved the layout. I used probably non-traditional colors-more like Christmas colors, but I think they worked.

Here's a picture of the card I cased - what a great layout!

And here's the card I came up with -

I'm sure the "always remember" sentiment was made for remembering veterans with the poppy - but I thought still very appropriate. Here's the inside of the card -

Simple - no frills - just heartfelt thoughts in a time of loss. Fortunately, at this time I have no need for a sympathy card - so this will be ready next time I need one. I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love any comments!

Now click on through to the rest of those hopping with me this month to see all of their wonderful creations and inspirations! ~Maureen
