Welcome to the August 2018 blog hop with Di's Country Inkers! Our theme this month is summertime and our
weather here in Arizona is definitely summer – it has been 100 - 110 degrees
daily….that is our “monsoon” season along with some humidity, cloudiness, and
occasional rain - steamy and hot, hot,
hot!
Here is my project for the blog hop, which shows a delightful way to
stay cool:
Here are a few closeups and other angles of my card:
I made my diagonal sketchy stripes in the 3 colors I choose
for my card (flirty flamingo, blushing bride, and night of navy) for the fun
backgrounds for your cards. Easy to do with washi tape (or masking tape or
painters tape, but I had lots of retired washing tape!) Just tear off a piece of tape a bit longer than
the piece of card stock, place it on the ink pad to ink it up,
then “stamp” it onto your card stock (I used shimmery cardstock) by running your
finger across the top of it. Repeat as you’d like with different colors of ink
and/or different widths of tape for a custom and unique striped background.
These are the Stampin’ Up products I used for my card:
Washi tape (various widths)
Night of navy, flirty flamingo, blushing bride inks
Night of navy cardstock behind the flamingo
Vellum Flourish thinlit cut to fit
the corner
Gingham ribbon (bow)
Petal burst embossing folder
Blushing bride cardstock
You can get all of these Stampin’
Up products in my online store: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/
BTW, if I had the new Stampin' Up stamparatus, I would have been able to line up this two-step stamp set perfectly, so I will have to get one soon! Here is a bit about this fabulous alignment tool (video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2o3rBfUiGw)
