Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia are participating. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you! Our theme this month is “Encouragement”. There are so many different sentiments you can use and so many different ways in which people need a little encouragement. A card to let someone know that you are thinking about them can change a whole day from miserable to wonderful!
You may be starting your hop here, or you may have landed from Maureen Rauchfuss’ blog. Did you love her project?
I have used the flower from the Wonderful World stamp set (which is part of the Wonder World bundle and is a level 2 Sale-A-Bration item). The sentiment and background texture is from the Season Of Chic stamp set and the rough edges are easily created using the Deckled Rectangles dies.
If you want to learn how to do the shadow stamping, join me at 11:00 on Sunday morning (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on my Facebook page and I will show you howto make this card.
Be sure to complete the hop to see all the wonderful ideas that we have to share with you. The next stop is Shirley Merker. I can’t wait to see what she has created this month – she is using the cutest stamp set in the July – December mini catalogue!
