INK IT! STAMP IT! | KIDS

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Design Team Blog Hop for May. You may have arrived from my lovely and talented friend Amy Koenders from the USA. If you are starting here please see the complete list at the bottom of this post which will guide you through all the creative projects the team has to share. The theme for this hop is "Kids"! I chose the Little Elephant Stamp Set and co-ordinating Elephant Builder Punch to create my cards.

AROUND THE WORLD ON WEDNESDAY | ALL THINGS CRAFTY II

Welcome to our second hop with the Around the World on Wednesday Design Team.

I love the contrast of the sentiment with the brayered background. The colours Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo mak...

SOCIAL STAMPING | FAMILY

Hello and welcome to today's Social Stamping Blog Host! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators brought together by the very lovely and talented Kelly Kent. For the last seven weeks, we have been sharing our creations as a means of bringing us together due to the world being in various stages of social distancing and isolation. You may have arrived here from seeing Leonie Stuart's fabulous creation, or if you are starting here please be sure to hop around everyone, you won't want to miss any of the inspiring projects everyone has to share. The theme for this blog hop is "Family" and with Mother's Day here in New Zealand tomorrow I thought it was perfectly timed to create a Mother's Day card. The flowers in Floral Essence were used to create this bright and cheery bouquet for my Mother's Day card. I layered them up on some Granny Apple Green leaves and sprigs die cut in Gold Glimmer Paper from the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box D...
