Good
morning! With summer rapidly coming to
an end (much too soon in my opinion) I’m getting ready for my holiday catalog
preorder to arrive (later this week) and know when it arrives I’m going to be
completely distracted with new goodies so I’m continuing to enjoy all our great
annual catalog items now. Today over on
the Stylin’ Stampin’ INKspiration blog it’s time for our
monthly blog hop and this month’s theme is ABC, 123 which means making a
project using one stamp set, two designer series paper, and three
accessories. One of the first sets I had
to get was Marquee Messages and I
had an idea for this card that is completely blinged out so I decided now was
the perfect time.
As you hop along,
please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always
excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number #6 on
the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Darcy at Dj's Stampin'
Place. If so, you are in the right spot. If a link
doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup
below.
I
started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of
DSP from the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer
Series Paper package, what was matted with Emerald Envy cardstock. Next I added another piece of Smoky Slate DSP
from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack.
For the stamped image I used the Marquee Messages stamp set and stamped the large image using Basic
Black on Whisper White, Melon Mambo, and Emerald Envy cardstock and then used Paper Snips to cut out all three pieces. A Smoky
Slate Stampin’ Write Marker was used to color in the words on the Whisper
White piece. I used my Gold Wink of Stella Pen (love how easy
it is to add a touch of bling with these pens) to color in the elements on the
left side of the sign as well as one of the star bursts on the Emerald Envy
piece. I used dimensionals to attach the Melon Mambo sign arrow as well as a star
cut out of Gold Glimmer Paper using
the Big Shot and Stars Collection Framelits.
The final touch was to add rhinestones
to each of the circles on the arrow to mimic the lights on a marquee sign and
are really what puts this card over the top.
This card really brings a smile to my face and the
sparkle and shine play a huge part (I know, big shocker!!) and will be great to
just let that extra special person know how you feel about them. I know if I received this card (or whenever I
get a card with sparkle it seems extra special and makes me happy!
