Hello again to those of you who have popped by for another peek at my crafting progress. If you are new, welcome.
It is time for another blog hop. I am really enjoying taking part in different blog hops and challenges. It is a great way to ensure that I am using my Stampin’ Up!® products and posting projects regularly. I hope that you like today’s.
The ongoing theme for this blog hop is THANK YOU. I really like this theme, while it might seem like the idea of thanking someone is unfashionable, it is alive and well and needs to be modelled for others. If I send someone a thank you card, that is a prompt for them to remember to thank others for what they appreciate.
This is the card I made for the April 2021 Blog Highlights – an image of my card is posted on Kylie’s gallery.
This gallery features everyone’s submissions and gives you the opportunity to vote for up to 5 of your favourite cards. The top 10 vote winners then get to participate in an International Blog Hop. Would you consider taking a moment and voting for my card? I’d really appreciate it!
How to do Voting?
Once you click on the link below you can see the photos. Please look for my gorgeous Dandy Laser Cut dragonflies card (#) and click on the little heart sign on the right-hand top side of my photo. Once you’ve touched the little clear heart it will turn to Red Color and that is the notification that you voted. You can vote for up to five, but it’s not required, you can also just vote for one. Thanks so much!
For this project I wanted to use some of the lovely paper from the SAND & SEA DESIGNER SERIES PAPER, the DANDY LASER-CUT PAPER (the dragonfly piece) and the shimmery PEARLESCENT SPECIALTY PAPER..
I used my BLENDING BRUSHES to colour the dragonfly DANDY LASER-CUT panel. The colours I used were Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray. As soon as this panel was dry I painted it using FROST WHITE SHIMMER PAINT. The photos don’t show the full effect of the blending brush colouring.
I cut a 1″ strip of PEARLESCENT SPECIALY PAPER and placed 1″ strips of FOAM ADHESIVE SHEETS onto one side. Then I used my MINI STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINE and dies from the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES to cut the letters for this “thank you”.
For the card insert and envelope front I used the space left behind from the single dragonfly, that I coloured and attached across the N and K. I positioned this ‘template’ over the bottom right hand side of the card insert and the same posiotn on the envelope and then coloured it using Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray.
if you like the project I have shared today, please make sure you click on the link below and vote for me.
Thank you again for popping by.
Happy stamping.
