Hello Stampers and welcome
to December ICS Blog Hop!
This month's theme is
"Thank you Card"! Stampin' Up has lots of great products you can use to create some wonderful "Thank You" cards. I decided to use the Lovely and Lasting Bundle! I must admit this is truly my favorite bundle.
I created this card using the bundle and the new in color Tahitian Tide. I also decided to decorate the inside layer and the envelope.
Thanks

Welcome to the Paper
Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!
We are all fans of this monthly crafting kit and want to share
with you our enthusiasm for this box of fun and creativity. The beauty of Paper
Pumpkin kit is that you can follow the directions provided in the kit and make
the projects as they were designed or use the supplies as a starting point and
let your creative spirit soar. On this hop we will be sharing lots of
ideas with you on how to use the November Paper Pumpkin Kit: "From the North Pole".
When
autumn rolls around, do you start thinking about cozy Christmas crafting
projects? This November, Paper Pumpkin delivers this and more with its
one-of-a-kind, holiday-themed crafting experience. This festive kit includes 12
fun, sparkly gift tags and (as always!) an exclusive stamp set—plus everything
you need for a successful holiday crafting experience. I decided to use the stamp set and some of the materials for my alternates. Here's my first alternate a Christmas card. This card was created using Mint Macaron and Sweet Sorbet colors. I created a Christmas card and a "Gift Tag" ornament! The ornament was created using the Stampin' Up "Celebration Tags" dies.
My second alternate is a "Gift Tag" ornament! The ornament was created using the Stampin' Up "Celebration Tags" dies. I thought it would be great to still have some type of tag. This "Gift Tag" ornament would be cute on any tree!
I had so much fun thinking outside the box with these alternates. Now check out this
video and see the rest of the elements in this festive kit!
Thanks for checking out my alternates and I really hope they
inspire you. Now let's hop over to Janey's page and see the cute
alternate she shared!

I had the opportunity to join some awesome crafters in a "Trade Card" swap.
What is a "Trade Card?
A trade card is a square or rectangular card that is small, but bigger than the modern visiting card, and is exchanged in social circles. The trade card can be used as a starting point for creating a greeting card!
I will admit this was my first time every creating a trade card and it was so much fun! Here's the card I created and I hope you like it.

Hello Stampers and welcome to October ICS Blog Hop!
This month's theme is "My Favorite Punch"! Stampin' Up has lots of great punches and it was so hard to pick just one to spotlight. I decided to share projects using the Lasting Label Punch. This punch is part of the Lovely & Lasting bundle and so I decided to spotlight the entire bundle.
I signed up for a
"Bundle" swap and it's due on the October 27th. I wanted
a way to spotlight the punch and the bundle and this is the project I
created. I also wanted to use the Starry Sky color products because I
hadn't used this color much. I really like how this card turned out.
As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same. We have made a lot of progress but still have a long way to go and the National Breast Cancer Foundation need your help!
The inspiration for these two cards came from another demonstrator Brandy Cox. I truly love creating custom backgrounds and I was able to use this technique on these projects. My hope is that you will be inspired to make these special cards to either raise awareness, remind a girlfriend to get a mammogram or celebrate breast cancer survivors.
Checkout my video of how I created these super cute cards. I hope these projects inspire you. Click here for materials used.
Measurements:
Base
1. Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Polished Pink Cardstock and fold it in half. This is your base.
2. Cut (2) 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Once to layer inside your card and one to layer on top of your card.
3. Cut (1) 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Basic White Cardstock. This piece is for your Stamped Background.
Tip: The "HOPE" sentiment came from my August 2021 "Hope Box" paper pumpkin kit.
4. Cut a 3-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Polished Pink Cardstock. This will be the base layer for the image of your card.
Tip: I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up this Polished Pink piece off the top of your card.
5. Cut a 3″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Basic White Cardstock and layer this piece on top of the Polished Pink cardstock.
Tip: Stamp your sentiment before gluing this piece down.
Stamping
1. Using a Polished Pink Ink Pad and Lovely You Stamp Set to stamp your flowers around your 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Cardstock.
Tip: Be sure to put scrap paper under your stamping station so that you can stamp partially on the cardstock and partially off. This creates a fun unique background.
Tip: I inked up the edge of the custom background layer by lightly taping the ink pad.
2. Glue your designer stamped cardstock to the top of your card.
3. Lastly, using a Polished Pink stamp pad and the same Lovely You flower inside the bottom right-hand corner of your Basic White Cardstock. Glue this piece inside your card.
4. Create matching envelope by stamping the same images on the flap and the left bottom front of the envelope.
