Good morning, my crafty friends! Welcome to our June Stamping Around The World Blog Hop. If this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me Lori Mueller, Stampin' Dreams. If you like to skip and hop around and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog...you definitely want to make sure you see all of the amazing creations shared by the design team.
I know several friends who have recently announced their retirement from their position they've held for a long-long time, which calls for a really special "Congrats on your retirement" card. The Many Mates stamp set is filled with 19 sentiments that can be arranged as 'mates' for a number of special occasions. At the same time, a good chunk of the sentiments can be used as stand-alones, too. It's a great set to have in your stash.
The Forever Greenery Designer Series paper pack is soooo gorgeous! There are patterns to help create cards/projects geared towards men and women. I used the color palette designed for this paper — mainly focused on the Soft Sea Foam (cardbase), Pear Pizzazz (matted layer) and Pretty Peacock. Aren't these colors stunning together? The main Pretty Peacock panel was embossed with the Tastefully Textile 3D Embossing folder. I think this is my new FAV-orite embossing texture...it was the right amount of texture to not combat against the florals in the designer paper. The Pretty Peacock die cut is from the Many Medallions Dies set.
Of course, there are always new ribbons and accessories introduced when a new catalog comes out. This canvas-looking ribbon is part of a 2-spool bundle — Forever Greenery Trim pack. I'm in love with it...so soft and manageable to tie gorgeous knots and bows. The Gold Hoop is a solid metal and was the right amount of bling to center out the main sentiment. I added a thin stream of Multipurpose Liquid glue to the back and set in place on the card.Here's a sneak peek of my project included in the June Stamping Around The World Tutorial Bundle. Can you see the detail in the Many Medallions Die? It's focusing on a different die; and, featuring a different occasion. I've been having so much fun designing new creations using the Many Mates Bundle...it is so versatile to use for any special occasion.
