STYLIN' STAMPIN' BLOG HOP

Welcome to LIVE*LAUGH*CRAFT




This is the first ever blog hop that my blog has participated in. I hope you enjoy looking at my projects and continue on to look at my fellow stampers post too.






I chose to go with a Valentine theme and use our challenge colors! Blushing Bride & Perfect Plum. It was so much fun! Lets move on to checking out the projects!








For the Card I used the base color of Blushing Bride and the top layer of Perfect Plum I sponged the perfect plum with perfect plum ink, and ran it through the Big Shot with the Lots of Love letter press with Champagne Mist Shimmer mist. Stamped images are from the set Take it to Heart.





For the mail box I mixed the champagne shimmer mist with a couple of drops of perfect plum reinker. Then brayered the Lots of Love letter press plate and ran it through the Big Shot! I sponged the edges with perfect plum on perfect plum and blushing bride on blushing bride to make the edges look softer. Then made strips using the scallop edge punch and scallop ribbon border punch.The base layer of the front is Blushing Bride designer series paper that has been run through the Crimmper. The set here is also Take it to heart. I stamped the banner on DSP also and then stamped the sentiment from the set Short and Sweet. Lastly I added a little bit of Blushing Bride DSP to the back of a Bitty Button with Crystal Effects and added White Bakers Twine to the button.

  1. Amanda, great job on your first blog hop. I love how you added the Baker's Twine thru your punch piece on your card. What a great touch and you can really see the shimmer on your mailbox. I am sure IFL it shimmers even more. Thanks for sharing and being part of the blog hop!
