Something Fancy (And Easy) Birthdays for Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop today - I hope you enjoy all the creativity as much as we enjoy sharing our ideas with you. Grab your favourite cuppa' and hop along to each site and please comment too - we love knowing you visited our post!!

I chose a few items from the Spring Mini to make my card today as well as a favourite die from the Annual Catalogue called Stitched Greenery (p 174). It makes a really neat impression on one of the Lovely Layers Vellum sheets also in the Annual Catalogue (p 139) for a subtle background over my Mango Melody Cardstock base.

All the rest of the products used are from the Spring Mini (January - April 2023).  I chose one of the smaller designs in the 6" x 6" Regency Park Designer Series Paper Pack for my contrast piece and then reached for my Something Fancy Bundle and inked my greeting in Night of Navy, then die cut it with the dies in the bundle. This is a great combination bundle with the greetings for both inside and out on your cards, plus the dies to cut so many shapes and layers too. 

I decided to add some Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon to my greeting and love the effect it gives.  This is awesome ribbon - soft to fold, but so easy to cut too and no fraying! 

My final touch was a few Mango Melody Adhesive Backed Milky Dots, then I added some of the DSP to my envelope flap and on the inside of my card and my card was done!  I hope you like it and that it inspires you to make some cards too to send to your family and friends.  They really do appreciate them!

Sale-a-bration is still on until February 28th so grab your list and place your order so you don't miss out on your Free gifts! You can click here to get to my store quickly and if you add my current Host Code you can also get in my draws for sharing monthly Host Rewards. February's Host Code is CXKVWJNJ and new monthly Host Codes are at the top of my blog sidebar. 

Thanks for stopping by today and enjoy the hop!

Sunday Share - An Inspiration Sketch with a Warm Welcome!

Good morning - I know a day late but the intent was there! Today I'm sharing another sketch for you and this is another one that will help you with those scraps and smaller pieces of Designer Series Papers that you didn't want to throw away! I took the sketch from p 83 in the Spring Mini using the Warm Welcome Bundle for my cards.

I also used some of the Regency Park DSP on p 31 as there are so many pretty flower combinations on the one side, then some great neutral designs on the flip side . . .  love our two-sided DSP with all the choices!! 

The card base is a standard size in Petal Pink and I saved the other half sheet for my alternate card below.  I usually make two cards while I have all my supplies out and ready - even if I don't add a greeting right away, I'm pretty much ready for the next occasion when I need a card in a rush. 

Do you have cards ready to use or are you more the last minute "I need a card NOW" kind of crafter?

After I had cut my supplies for the second card, I realized it looked better landscape so I turned it around and was quite happy with the results . . . the paper is a Free gift from Sale-a-bration called Favored Flowers and is a 12" x 12" pack of papers with lots of options on the back side too! Love 💕 the colours in this package! I die cut the stamped floral image from the Framed Florets Bundle on p 65 then coloured it with some coordinating Stampin' Blends.

A reminder to stock up on any In Color products you might be low on as it won't take long before they will start selling out as the current five (Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent and Fresh Freesia) go away when the Annual Catalogue expires on May 1st. Adding these items to your orders will help you get to the magic $60 total where you can choose a FREE gift from the Sale-a-bration flyer but only until February 28th, and then Sale-a-bration is gone for another year 😒😢 

And if your wish list keeps growing, then choose "Join" during Sale-a-bration and get tons of product of your choice in your starter kit at a great price and one of the options includes this adorable Mini Mini Cut and Emboss Machine too! It's the best to keep on your desk, or for traveling and in one of the new In Colors coming May 2nd!! So cute!! Ask me how you can get yours 💕😍👍 by February 28th and get discounts on your purchases for as long as you choose to stay. .  

Shop anytime at my online store (click link here) and use the current Host Code CXKVWJNJ to get in on my month end draws for sharing the Host Rewards . . .  you can find the Host Code anytime on my blog sidebar right at the top!  If you need my help just ask!! 

Check my newsletter later this week for another sketch option too!

Happy stamping!
