Posted by on Apr 12, 2017 in blog hop, Glamper Greeting, Pal's Blog Hop | 4 comments

Welcome to the Families First Pals Blog Hop for April 2017.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

This months blog hop is all about family! And what is more family than the family vacation.  The Glamper Greeting stamp set is a throwback to the great family adventure!

Glamper Greeting

 

This set is perfect for any style of stamping…from watercolor to adding all the little details to just the basics.  Paired with Designer Series Paper, I went with just the basics.   The Urban Underground has a awesome geometric paper that reminded me of mountains! This was the perfect place of our little camper family to visit!!!

Urban Underground

I have really enjoyed this paper! If you do not have it, you really should!!!

 

The black and vanilla dots are on the back side of the “mountain” paper!!  To pull out the color in the graphic design I added a layer of Delightful Dijon behind the camper and the designer series paper. Not only does it bring out the color it adds a little fludness to the card.

Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!

Botanical blooms with a sweet color combination and a fun sketch

Botanical blooms with a sweet color combination and a fun sketch

Posted by on Mar 20, 2017 in Botanical blooms, fab friday, Freshly Made Sketches, Nobody Chic Texture Impression | 9 comments

The Botanical Blooms stamp set is one of my favorites! I have not used in quite some time. Today was the perfect opportunity to use it with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and the Fab Friday color challenge! The color combination that Fab Friday is using is totally awesome!!! I love the spring time feel of these colors.

The sketch from Freshly Made Sketches is perfect for those of us who love lots of layers!!!  You guys know that “layers makes everything better”

I took the sketch and turned it on its side. Just for something a little different. And I thought it would work better this way with the botanical blooms stamp set.

This set really does not look like much but, the layers of stamps really make a big impression. And when you couple this with the coronation dies…oh wow!!! Now you really have something awesome!!!

  • The flowers and leaves are stamped and die cut or just cut with dies.
  • The background flowers are stamped directly onto the whisper white panel.
  • The sentiment is from the live, love, grow stamp set
  • The background is the Boho Chic texture impression

Each of your comments makes me smile! Please, comment HERE.
