Stampin' Up Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday and welcome to my blog and the Stampin' Up Blog Hop! 

(throws confetti)

We are a very short hop - only 10 on the list including me.

You are at the very beginning of the hop! 

Your next stop is Raven, 

but wait, don't go yet! 

I have an easy project to show you

 and some blog candy to tell you about.

Mini Cards are 6" x 3", scored and folded at 3" for a 3"x 3" card

Solid colored cardstock cut @ 2 7/8" x 2 7/8"

White cardstock cut @ 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"

Each white piece is embossed with different embossing folders.

Ribbons, lace, and twine are all from stash.

Stampin' Up "Serene Silhouettes" #127324 
used for the image stamp.

The stamped image was then punched out with my circle punch and inked around the edges with the same ink to give it a border look.

Sentiment mats are punched out using Stampin' Up 

Word Window Punch #119857

and inked around the edges with the same ink as 

the sentiment and image.

Each of the sentiments are from 

Stampin' Up "Little Friends" #122667.

Inks used are all from Stampin' Up:

Orchid Opulence (retired)

Positively Pink (retired)

Glorious Green (retired)

Tempting Turquoise #126952

This was a very fast, and easy project which I think had great results!
