April Ink . Stamp . Share Blog Hop
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Tricia’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is FLORAL
I have a real soft spot for featuring flowers on my cards ~ whenever a new catalog is released I am always drawn to the floral stamps so this is just the most perfect theme for me this month.
Narrow Notecards with Tropical Escape DSP
A few days ago I shared a gift card holder featuring the Tropical Escape DSP, to make them I had to trim down the 6 x 6 sheets and was left with some strips that were just begging to be used! I was also ready to make my ‘thank yous’ for my lovely customers who had shopped for their Stampin’ Up supplies with me during March ~ so paired up my little strips with the super cute Narrow Notecards & Envelopes
Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop ~ Masculine
Welcome to the Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, I took a few months off while I helped America file their income taxes but I am delighted to be taking part again. We are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.
You will have either arrived from Rebecca Jo’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month’s theme is Masculine ~ probably one of the subjects I struggle with the most !
Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.
Tropical Escape Gift Card Holder ~ Video Tutorial
The season of graduations and weddings are upon us, it can be so hard to choose a gift these days and if you live away from the person you are sending it to the postage on packages can be so daunting………… So gift cards (or cash) can be the perfect solution.
To personalize my gift cards I like to put them in a handmade holder which also doubles as a greeting card and today I share one with you featuring the Tropical Escape 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack.
Flourishing Phrases – Night of Navy Sympathy
The Flourishing Phrases stamp set has a whole bunch of very useful greetings along with a lovely big floral stem, flower and leaf image that allows you to create some great cards.
Today I have chosen to use the with Sympathy one, however the colors and design could work very well with any of the greetings in the set. A sympathy card is not one that we particularly want to make but there is a need and this image is really quite soothing.

The Everything Is Rosy Product Medley will be available for a limited time AND while supplies last starting on May 1st ~ and I just know they are going to be very popular so you need to place your order as soon as they become available.
Tuscan Vineyard with Crumb Cake and Blackberry Bliss
So …….. time got away from me in the last few days and I missed out on a couple of posts. I like to write them ‘live’ rather than in advance so during the last few days of the US tax season my long tax preparation days got in the way.
Today is the last day I shall be preparing taxes until next year and I have taken a little ‘timeout’ to share a celebration drink with you using one of my present favorite stamp sets – Tuscan Vineyard.
Abstract Impressions Thank you
This card proved to be a big hit at a recent card buffet I had – I started with cutting 20 kits and must have made up an additional 20 so everyone had a chance to make at least 1!
Saying thank you is so very important, it was one of the first things my dear Mum taught me – I know because I watched her do the same for my younger brother and sister and when it came to her being a grandmother she always reinforced it with the ‘littlies’ as they came into our lives!
The Abstract Impressions Stamp set has a lovely ‘Thank You’ as well as stamps that allow you to build up beautiful floral displays using single or two step stampin’.
His Grace – Sweet and Simple Easter Card
April has arrived and in a couple of weeks we will be celebrating Easter so it really is not too early to be making cards to send out to family and friends. The ‘His Grace’ Stamp set is just perfect for creating quick Easter cards with a little bit of coloring to soothe your soul.
Today’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal! I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool – which is my Stampin’ Blends
