June 2019 – Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop

By | 3 Comments

 

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Annual Catalog! There are SO many products in the new catalog that I absolutely LOVE…it is hard just choosing one to feature!  You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

RIDE WITH ME 

I knew I had to get the Ride With Me stamp set and Truck Dies immediately when I saw the new catalog…it was first on my list!  For this one, I added a wood crate in the bed of the stamped truck for a little different look!  I didn’t use the dies at all.

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • Two 3/4 x 5-1/4 pieces of Soft Suede Neutrals 6×6 DSP were added to the top and bottom of a 3 x 5-1/4 piece of Soft Suede cardstock, then added to the front.
  • A 3/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Crumb Cake was stamped with the Pick You Up greeting in Memento Black Ink and added to the front.
  • The largest Stitched Shape Oval was cut from Whisper White and added to the front.
  • The truck from Ride With Me was stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with Poppy Parade, Smoky Slate, Light Pool Party, and Light Basic Black Blends.  The truck was hand-cut and added to the oval with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The boards for the back of the truck were cut from Soft Suede cardstock and adhered.
  • A few Gold Metallic Pearls were added to the background.

SOOO fun!  I love the red truck home decor that you see everywhere, and Stampin’ Up! is quite on trend!  If you need any supplies to recreate this card, I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!  Please use my June Host code.

April 2019 – Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop

By | 1 Comment

 

Time for our monthly Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop! The theme this month is New Catalog products.  Those that were at OnStage will have some sneak peeks, but I wasn’t able to attend.  I am using a stamp set and punch that WILL carryover to the new catalog, Butterfly Gala!  We waited forever for it, didn’t we?  You are here at my blog, Connie Babbert, and you can continue around to all the blog hop stops by clicking on the name under mine on the list at the bottom of this post.

BUTTERFLY GALA

I used a special fun fold on my card, too!  The front panel is narrower than the base and folds up!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 Night of Navy cardstock.
  • I cut a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Melon Mambo cardstock.
  • The Whisper White panel is cut 3 x 5-3/4, then scored at 1/2″.  The 1/2″ flap is placed behind the Melon Mambo layer and the entire layer adhered to the base Night of Navy cardstock.
  • A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Neutrals DSP (Night of Navy stripe) was added to the front of the Whisper White panel.
  • The greeting from Butterfly Gala was stamped with Night of Navy on Whisper White cardstock, then cut with the Stitched Labels Framelits (YES!  These are in the NEW catalog!)  It was placed on the front panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The butterflies from Butterfly Gala were stamped with Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight Inks and punched with the Butterfly Duet Punch.
  • The bodies of the butterflies were stamped with Night of Navy Ink.  They were popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Some Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added to the bodies of the butterflies for a little bling.
  • Inside, one of the extra little butterflies was added.  It is hidden by the flap on front.

 

Aren’t those butterflies SO sweet?  I’ll be happy to place the order for you in the United States, or click here to go to my Online Store!
