Petal Passion plus Pieces and Patterns - Fancy Friday Blog Hop

Pieces and Patterns with Petal Passion Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! - Susan Wong for Fancy Friday

Hello and welcome to another Fancy Friday blog hop!! We're a group of past and present Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team winners and we love to bring you inspiration each month. This time we're focussing on Designer Series Papers from the Occasions Catalogue. I chose this funky unexpected piece from the Petal Passion papers and paired it with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set. Gee, is that enough 'P' words for you?!

Hot Tip:
I used sponges and inks to create the coloured background. Dry out your sponge a bit on scratch paper before you take it to your Designer Paper to avoid too much streaking or concentration of colour.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Pieces and Patterns
Inks: Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Momento Tuxedo Black
Papers: Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Silver Foil Paper, Vellum
Tools/Accessories: 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Circle Tab Punch, Duet Banner Punch

Picture Perfect Birthday - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

Easy handmade birthday card set with Picture Perfect Birthday by Stampin' Up! - Susan Wong


Welcome to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop! It's our joy to create and inspire you! This month we're bringing you some awesome ideas for the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and coordinating products from the same suite. Here are four simple birthday cards which I've made by the dozen to send out (yes, actually posting them!) this year.

If you think about paper economy like I do, you'll notice you can do four cards from one 6x6" page of the Picture Perfect Party Designer Paper. The squares of designer paper are all 3x3". I can easily imagine these in the Tutti-Frutti papers too!

Hot Tips:
- Colour Doilies with Stampin' Blends.
- Use snips to create fun fringes.
- All the squares are 3x3"
- When you're wrapping twine around a not-perfectly-vertical line (or anywhere), try punching a notch for it to nest in. It makes such a cute detail.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Picture Perfect Birthday
Inks: Bermuda Bay, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, Pool Party Stampin' Blends
Papers: Picture Perfect Party 6x6" Designer Series Paper, Whisper White Thick, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Peekaboo Peach, Gold Glimmer Paper
Tools/Accessories: Whisper White Solid Baker's Twine, Gold Sequin Trim, Snips, Dimensionals, Delicate White Doilies, Hole Punch
