Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Friendly Hello

 

Hello and welcome,

It's Stamping 2nd Sunday latest blog hop for January, hosted by Sara Levin and for this month the design team will be showcasing the theme 'Saleabration' in our projects. The list of participants will be at the end of this blog.

Saleabration is here for January and February 2022 with lots of FREE goodies when you purchase Stampin' Up! products from the new Mini January to June 2022 Catalogue and the Annual 2021 to 2022 Catalogue. Once you've spent $90 AUD (before tax and shipping) on products you get to choose a FREE product from the Saleabration Catalogue. There are a range of  Saleabration items for either $90 AUD and $180 AUD. When you spend $180 AUD you can choose the stunning bundle Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Friendly Hello 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper which I've used in my projects.

I've created two cards using the stamp set and DSP plus other Stampin' Up! products from both catalogues. The first card I've used the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper and layered it over Fresh Freesia Cardstock. I've used the Layering Circle Dies to create a Fresh Freesia Ring layered over the circle in Basic White Cardstock and I've added Pool Party Ink with the Blending Brush.

The flowers are stamped in Black Memento Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and coloured them in using the Stampin' Blends. I've used Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Petal Pink, Pale Papaya and Pool Party. The images are fussy cut out using the Paper Snips and I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers.

The greeting is stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The second card I've used the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and other Stampin' Up! products. I started with a panel of Basic White Cardstock and created an ombre look by using Pool Party Ink with the Blending Brush. This is something I like to create a lot in my projects. I just love the Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes. I've embossed the ombre panel using the Meadow Moments Embossing Folder. 

I've layered the ombre panel over Pool Party Cardstock and Bermuda Bay Cardstock which is the card base. Sometimes I like to off set the different pieces of Cardstock or Designer Series Paper for something a little bit different.

I really liked the Fresh Freesia ring in the first card, so I decided to create it again using Fresh Freesia Cardstock, die-cut out using the Layering Circle Dies and layered over a circle of Basic White Cardstock. I've added Fresh Freesia Ink to the circle in Basic White Cardstock by using the Blending Brush.

The stamped images are stamped in Black Memento Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and coloured in using Stampin' Blends. The colours are Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay, The images are fussy cut using the Paper Snips. 

The greeting is stamped in Bermuda Bay Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out using Stitched So Sweetly Dies. To finish off the card I've used the Iridescent Rhinestones Jewels which are on page 9 of the Mini Catalogue. They are so sweet to use in your projects.
