STAMP N' HOP MARCH - 2ND SAB RELEASE

Welcome to the March edition of the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop! 

My name is Amy and I’m stamping from Ontario (Canada)! This month we are featuring the Second Release items from Sale-A-Bration! I hope you enjoy and be sure to check out the other blogs, listed below, to see what the other creative and talented ladies, from around the world, have created!

I focused on using the Springtime Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper and the Blossoming Basket stamp set. PLUS I also used Celebrate You Thinlit Dies - all of these items are available for FREE during Sale-A-Bration which ends this month!




I was so excited to finally get to play with both of the new items that were released in February - and I tried out a new technique (for me) of colouring the DSP with Pink Powder ink using the brayer and using the Spritzer, Powder Pink ink refills and rubbing alcohol to colour both the glimmer paper and twine.



Here is a closer look


To see a closer look at how I put together this card please check out my video:



I mentioned that I made this card with my nieces in mind, wanting to send each of them a card reminding them how much we love them and for my latest niece (born on Feb 28th) to let her know how much we love her already! I am a proud Aunt to 9 nieces (Jordan, Kelsey, Aleisha, Kyla, Katie, Belinda, Hillary, Allison and Peyton) and 2 great nieces (Mia and Gracelynn). 

Here she is - isn't sure precious! 




We are also very proud of our nephews (Justin, Mackenzie, John, Jesse, Carley, Michael, Sheldon, Wesley and Liam) and great nephew (Liam)!

DIFFERENT USES FOR YOUR STAMP SETS

Happy Saturday everyone!

Recently I created a few cards using the Heart Happiness Stamp set and thought I would share them with you. I was reminded that hearts are not just for Valentine's Day but can be used for all sorts of occasions!



I used a combination of the assorted hearts with a variety of colours and was a able to make a fun and playful background.


I like keeping the rest of the card simple - black really helped ground all the colours.




See below for a list of supplies I used.


Mary DeSousa also created a fun card and recently shared in the FB group - how fun and cute is this!



And here are a few examples from Stampin' Up!
I love the use of the wooden heart embellishments on this card - so cute!



I encourage you to take a look at your stamp sets or even your Big Shot dies and see how you can use them differently. Have fun creating and be sure to share on the Create & Share Facebook Group.

Have a great weekend!
