SF-2023 September Blog Hop - Say it with Sentiments!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for great inspiration as we create some great projects Focusing on sentiments.

 ~*~*~*~*~ 
 This month's hop is all about sentiments.  I have to admit that many times that is what sells me on a set - the wonderful sentiments.  In fact I've been known to purchase an entire set - for just that one perfect sentiment. But for my project today I'm just using simple sentiments as my focal point - and I love them. 

#161754 Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Card Pack $8.50*

In the case of today's cards it is a sentiment that steals the show - and cutting up the memories and more cards to make the background strips, and using the Bright & Beautiful Memories & More Cards and Envelopes for my bases - just pulled it all together.
   
How super fun and easy are those cards - the sentiments are stamped with Beautiful Balloons and stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink - they really pop out and SHOUT have a great birthday full of fun. Add a little bow and a few gems - and you are good to go!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop September 2023: September - December Mini Catalog Showcase!

 

 Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for September 2023 - 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 - and every one of them comes from the newly release September - December Mini Catalog!

~*~*~*~*~

For my projects I chose to use the amazing Autumn Leaves bundle.
#162186 Autumn Leaves Bundle $55.75*

Wow - this bundle is right up my alley! I LOVE fall - it is my very favorite season of the year - and this bundle really spoke to me. I really like the set - but it's the dies that called my name - all those little leaves and some great sentiment layers - who could resist.
So I CASE'd a beautiful card made with this set by a fellow stamping friend -
And just changed up the colors to create this beauty - 
I think they are equally as beautiful - and plan to make some more!  From the new catalog it uses the bundle above; the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder; the Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Adhesive Backed Speckle Dots.  All such great products!
For a printable tutorial of the first card -- CLICK HERE

I also did a recent FB LIVE of the second card and if you are interested in seeing that -- CLICK HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love to hear your thoughts and 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
