Greek Isles Blog Hop - Anything New!

Welcome to the Greek Isles Trip Achievers Blog Hop!   We are just back from the Greek Isle Cruise and it was absolutely wonderful!!  The theme for our last Greek Isle Blog Hop is Anything New!   So I have chosen to highlight the card I did for our Cruise swap...From the Silhouette Scenes Bundle.

Summer

Using a background of Blueberry Bushel Cardstock....add the swirly background designer paper from See a Silhouette Designer Series paper.  It makes for a perfect nighttime sky.  Add a moon from our Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and the tree branch cut form Basic Black cardstock...

Perfect for the nighttime summer evening silhouette!!

But then I continued on and made the same type of scene for Autumn.

Autumn

Seaside Spray cardstock makes for a beautiful autumn sky.   Add the branch cut from Crumb Cake and sponged with "fallish" colors...Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie.

Such a lovely autumn day....   now onto the next season...winter.

Winter

Starting with a Smokey Slate Cardstock background....add a few dots with the White Chalk Marker for snowflakes.  Cut the branch out of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.

Add a couple of redbirds from the Well Written Dies.  And you have a perfect winter scene.

Spring

And finally let's finish the series off with a lovely springtime scene.  Pool Party is the background cardstock  and the tree branch is cut from Soft Seafoam sponged with a bit of Pear Pizzazz.  A So Saffron Sun and the silhouette is stamped in Balmy Blue.   

All of the seasonal Silhouette Scenes make for a lovely card collection.

Creative Inking Blog Hop - Love It Chop It - Designer Series Paper Love

Welcome to this months Creative Inking Blog Hop!!   The theme for July is Designer Series Paper...Love It Chop It!!

Now I have nooooo problem using my Designer Series paper...also known as DSP.  Our DSP is all so beautiful....it makes for EASY card making and paper crafting!!

So the DSP I choose for this challenge was the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  This whole Suite of products is stunning!!

But here are my cards....

This card layout is one of my favorite folds.   Fold your cardstock in half and cut an 1 1/4 " off one side.  Now your card front is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 " so cut a 4 x 4' piece of DSP for the front .   

And add it's coordinating side  along the edge.  1 1/4 " x 5 1/4".     Easy Peasy!!

And so pretty!!   I love matching stripes with flowers!!

And I am sure you are all asking how to make this lovely Magnolia Blossom....here is a video from Stampin' Up! home office explaining just that.  Now I used Petal Pink Cardstock and Ink for the center of the flower and one of our Perennial Essence Floral Centers is the perfect finishing touch!!

                                          

Too fun!!

And just for a change of pace...here is a different combination of Magnolia Lane DSP.

Same card layout....which pattern combo is your favorite??

Now it is time to check out all the other lovely creations made today....Happy Hopping!!
