Blogger's Choice - Notes & Totes Stamp Set

 Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friend Blog hop. we are a group of Stampin' Up demonstrators from around the world sharing our love for paper crafting. Today's challenge (theme) is Blogger's Choice challenge.


I decided to spotlight the "Notes of Tote" stamp set.  I truly love making and giving out Random Acts of Kindness treat holders. I made the super cute mini envelope pouches using the new 2025-2027 Stampin' Up In-colors. I must admit I love all the colors, but at the moment Secret Sea is my favorite. 



I needed some treat holders for a training I attend last week. I had so much fun handing out these little rays of sunshine.

 Hello and welcome to May ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're diving into the delightful world of Stampin Up new "2025 - 2027" In Colors: Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger.  I figured the best way to showcase these new colors is to use the "2025-2027" In Colors 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper!  I made a mini envelope treat holder in each color and I'm sure every receiver will love the surprise inside.

April ICS Blog Hop Last Chance Products


 Hello and welcome to April ICS Blog Hop!

This month, we're diving into the delightful world of Stampin Up "Last Chance Products!  These products are leaving to welcome fresh and new goodies. The "Tiled Techniques" is perfect for creating custom backgrounds and I knew it would be perfect for this card. I must admit that the Shy Shamrock is slowly becoming one of my favorite greens. I participated in a Color Challenge: Shy Shamrock, Daffodil Delight and Berry Burst. 


Please click here for the products used. 

I had so much fun designing this layer. I used the blends to add an extra pop of color. The large image stamp makes a great frame silhouette for my project. I also created an inside layer as well to give my card a finished look.
