Welcome to the February Pals Blog Hop. This month we are sharing what we love – our favorite Stampin' Up! products and our favorite crafting techniques.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Karen Hallam at Karen's Blog. Use the full lineup below to move along from blog to blog so you see all of the new projects.
I have always had a love of paper and memory keeping. I would go to my local craft store and spend money only to find that the things I bought were just a shade off the color I really wanted for my layout. Then in the summer of 2012 I was introduced to Stamping' Up! and fell in love.
My project today highlights what I love the most about Stamping' Up! products – they coordinate and compliment beautifully.
The products I used on this card are all from different elements within the Stamping' Up! collection. The Chevron Textured Emboss Folder has been out for a while. The yummy Hello Honey DSP is from the new Sweet Dreams DSP in the Occasions catalog. The arrow (really two arrows lined up behind the heart) was a new punch in the last annual catalog. The heart was created by lining up the chevron pattern from the Sweet Dreams Designer Washi Tape (on Very Vanilla card stock to mimic the same pattern as the DSP and then punching out the heart using the Sweetheart Punch. The button tied with linen thread is from the Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons set.
If I had gone to a big box craft store I would have spent hours trying to find elements that all coordinated. Stamping' Up! takes care of all the color coordination so I have more time to enjoy creating.
The next stop is Shannon K Jaramillo at Shannon Kay Paperie on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I'll see you next month.
