I love my patterned papers – I use them a LOT for scrapbooking and I love how they look on cards but I often am so concerned about “using it up” that I use the smallest amount on cards.

Well, this year I’m challenging myself to use more designer paper so be on the look out for more projects and ideas to use the great papers out there!

Quick & Easy Thank You Card with Stampin’ Up Blendabilties

Today over at Stylin Stampin’ Inkspiration, the girls are sharing Quick and Easy cards. Now, you know me… I LOVE quick and easy stuff – it is my go to style for cards. Well, most of the time anyway. So, I thought this card would be a perfect contribution to the theme:

I had the chance to play with the new I Like You hostess stamp set because my mom recently earned it. ~ side note, it is SO awesome when you have a nearby family member who loves crafting as much as you and gets different stamps and dies as you! ~

Anyway, I thought this set would be perfect for using with Blendabilities (don’t forget, they come out TOMORROW!!!) I not only used them to color in my flowers, but I also used them to color in my pearls. Yup, that is right, double duty!

You can color:

Pearls
Rhinestones
Ribbon
Clear Buttons

Just to name a few. All you have to do is pick your favorite colors and go at it. In this case, I used the medium and light Daffodil Delight Blendabilities markers.

And just to add some depth, I cut out one of the set of flowers and popped it up on dimensionals. I promise, it is still quick… and easy. The nice thing with the white paper base and for the raised image, you can be imprecise with your cutting and no one will notice!

Finally, I had made a promise to myself that this year I’m going to use more designer paper. I love it all and end up hoarding it so that at the transition of catalogs, I have a TON left over and of course want all the new stuff. So, I’m working to use what I have and enjoy it!

In this case I used the Moonlight Designer Series Paper stack and then added some texture by using the new Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon. It is so soft and flexible to work with.

Stampin’ Up Supplies Used:

I Like You stamp set (hostess)
Daffodil Delight blendabilities set (AVAILABLE 7/1/2014)
Daffodil Delight cotton ribbon
Pearls
Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack

You can make this same card with whatever you have in your stash. So whip up a bunch of quick thank you cards to have on had and enjoy that paper!

Check out that NEW Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop!

10383580_10204078098778853_972456530417495748_n Welcome to the Fun n’ Crafty Blog Hop for June! I’ve been seeing the amazing talent of the folks in my Fun n’ Crafty group of demonstrators and I thought it would be fun for us to start a monthly hop to showcase everyone’s work and give you lots of ideas around different themes.

I’m so excited for this inaugural blog hop and hope you enjoy all the inspiration. This month we will be showcasing project ideas from the NEW Stampin’ Up annual catalog. So make sure to check out the list of stops on the hop at the bottom of this post to see them all!

So, here is my contribution… a lovely catalog CASE only my card is using the new Blended Blooms stamp.

Here is my inspiration for the card… you can find it on page 170 in your catalog. It is showing the new Sweetbriar Rose stamp, which I don’t have…and I don’t have the paper yet either. But that is ok, you just make it work with what you have!

There were lots of cards and projects that I saw that I really wanted to try but this one jumped out at me and I had to give it a go. I liked the idea of coloring directly on a non-white cardstock and I figured it was a good excuse to bust out my Blendabilities markers. (Stampin’ Up’s new alcohol ink markers ~ available now to demonstrators and coming soon to everyone later this summer)

And I’m pretty excited because this is my first real attempt using my Blendabilties and I think it turned out pretty well. Now imagine how this would look on white cardstock!

I loved all the little touches in this card too. From the bit of White Tea Lace Doilies to the faux stitchiing at the edge of each piece of designer paper… because you KNOW I don’t have a sewing machine or the time to do much of any hand stitching. 🙂

Now one thing you’ll learn from using Blendabilities is that they do bleed through the paper. Thankfully, in some cases, it actually looks pretty pretty on the inside. Don’t you think?

I made one more card but in the interest of time, I’ll share it later this week so you can move on to see some of the other great projects in the hop!

So make sure you visit the links below and make sure to leave them some love by commenting and letting them know what you think of their interpretations!
