Hey everyone. Welcome to the Pink and Main/Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop. I’m so excited to be a part of this hop. It’s going to be full of inspiration and creativity overload. Paper Sweeties has some really cute stamps and products. So let’s get started.
For my card today I used the Pink and Main Pen Pals as my background paper. I trimmed down the pattern paper so I could add a pretty gray piece of card stock behind it. Next I stamped out the sentiment on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and trimmed it down. I also placed the sentiment strip onto gray card stock. I added faux white stitching to both panels with a .10 point gelly roll pen. Finishing off this panel I glued the sentiment strip onto the pattern paper panel.
Now it was time to die cut out the love sentiment from Paper Sweeties. I die cut this piece several times and glued the piece together for extra weight. I then used my white gelly roll pen to go over the letters for some white highlights. Once this was complete I adhered it to my card panel and covered the sentiment with Nuvo Crystal Glaze. To keep the card colorful, I placed my pattern paper panel onto a rose card base. Adding just a touch of bling to my card I used these pretty flower sequins also from Paper Sweeties.
Here is a closeup of my card. The little flower sequins are open in the center however I placed a small gem in the middle of mine.
Now for all the details. Paper Sweeties is offering 25% discount on that day to celebrate their 7th Birthday. And Pink and Main will be giving away a surprise package valued at $25.00. Participants must leave a comment on each stop along the hop. Winner announced on Wednesday August 28, 2019.
It’s now time to hop along to the next designer. So head on over to Laurie’s blog and get inspired. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.
![Hello everyone. I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to complete my holiday card series this year. The strain of sitting in my craft room for long periods of time is causing my back to endure more pain. In August I had my second back surgery in 18 months and was hopeful that my back pain would be resolved. My healing process has been a LOT SLOWER than I had anticipated and while trying to rush back to crafting, I am not doing my body any good.
With that being said, I am trying to keep my spirits positive and create the best I can right now. That means limiting my time in my room and resting my body. On top of everything I ended up with Covid a month ago and I still have lingering side effects. However I have a strong faith and I know this is just a hiccup in the road of life. Things will be better, my body will heal and I will be refreshed to return to the crafting I have loved for over 20 years. Feel free to catch up on my precious holiday card series in my playlist to keep you going on your holiday cards. Link In bio.
I wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and let's bring in the New Year healthy! Until then, stay safe and I'll see you back here soon!
P.S. I did try Amber's @ [17841400753513434:@damasklove] felt holiday wreath while sitting on the couch. Oh SOOO cozy!
