ICS Blog Hop Girls Night Out

It’s time for our monthly blog hop!! Girls night out is the theme! As you hop along you will be inspired by girly and pretty creations this month!
I decided to make my moms card for the blog hop. I just love how using designer series paper starts off your card in such a pretty way. After I decided on which paper to use as it will be retiring at the end of the month the rest of my card came together. 
This was how I finished off my card on the inside. I am all about the inside coordinating with the outside to complete the whole look of the card.

Using the grid paper that Stampin Up sells I was able to line up my words straight on the clear block for the inside of my card for my mom.

Lets see what Megan has created to inspire us with!

Here are the supplies I used on my card

Have a great time hopping thru! We all love comments!

Bye Bye Blackberry Bliss

Today on the SSInkspirations Design Team blog were featuring some products.that are retiring at the end of May.

I decided to use Blackberry Bliss in my card. Going to miss this color for sure. I know a lot of my customers feel the same way. I also used a lot more retiring products. Both of the stamp sets and the candy dots are retiring.

Here is the link to my online store to view the
Retiring products while available



Have a great day!

Bohemian Designer Series Paper and Pearls

Today over on the SSInkSpirations Blog were featuring pearls. So, you can just click on the link after you leave my blog to see more inspiration that other designers have created using the pearls.
For my card I decided to use some products that are going to leaving us at the end of  May. Can you find all nine pearls on my card? I loved how the designer series paper has just the perfect spots for me to place the pearls. I like how I decided to use the think bakers twine for a fun look. 
Supplies I used are:

ICS Blog Hop #imbringingbirthdaysback

Were featuring birthday cards this month for the blog hop. As you hop along you will be inspired with lots of ideas for your next birthday card.

Our theme is ‪#‎iambringingbackbirthdays‬ inspired by Shannon West one of the trainer’s at Stampin’ Up! She posted on her facebook page in January that social media had ruined the good old fashioned birthday card and she was bringing them back this year! One of her posts said if you wanted a birthday card to let her know, I did and I got a card on my birthday in January!

Shannon also carved out a stamp to use on her cards. Well let me tell you the idea really caught on-betting the post office is lovin’ her! Stampin’ Up! took that carved stamp and made one we could all have too!

Saw this type of card online. Searched for it to find a video and found from   Julie Davidson. Fun and easy layout!

Enjoy your next stop to Megan’s blog!

Thanks for hopping with us and leave us love in the comments along the way!
