It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Must Have 2024”.  Our Design Team will show off their favorite NEW stamp set/bundle that they just HAD to have!  Well…as usual, I had SEVERAL new ones that I wanted!

SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE

I picked this one…well, because I hadn’t used it yet!  I also used one of the In Colors that hasn’t seen much love yet either…Pretty in Pink!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• A 2 x 5-1/2 strip of 2024-26 In Color 6×6 Pretty in Pink DSP was added towards the left side.
• The largest circle from Spotlight on Nature was cut from Basic White cardstock and stamped off with the hashmarks in Pretty in Pink randomly in the background.
• The flower was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink and colored with Pretty in Pink and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends.  It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The smaller Spotlight on Nature circle was cut from Pretty in Pink cardstock and added to the circle.
• a 1/2 x 3 piece of coordinating DSP was torn on each end and added diagonally across the smaller circle.
• Celebrate from Unbounded Love was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White and hand-cut around the letters, then added to the DSP.
• Some Linen Thread was tied in a large bow and the smaller circle added to it, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• A trio of pink 2024-26 In Color Shimmer Gems were added to the background.

 

OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
