A Creative Journey July Blog Hop!!

Good morning crafty friends! I am back from a rather long absence to participate in my first blog hop with A Creative Journey with Melissa stamps!! I'm pretty excited and I hope you are too and ready to get inspired!

This release I am working with the other DT ladies to show off some pretty gorgeous and diverse stamp sets. Today I am going to show two of the stamp sets! They are the Everyday Alphabet Uppercase and Emoticon & the Everyday Lowercase and Numbers sets.

I made a soft yet cheery card to really make the yellow flowers and ribbon pop and really set off the inked alphabet.

 

I used A Creative Journey's Petals For You to inked in Stampin Up Sage ink, for the leaves and  Everyday Alphabet Uppercase and Emoticon set with the Lowercase set too,  inked in CTMH Gold Rush ink. I layered and matted everything on some scrap polka dot paper, and Kraft cardstock, then added some faux stitching around the patterned paper edges. To finish the card I added a golden yellow ribbon, some swirling bling and rhinestones for some pizzaz.

A Creative Journey

As you can see life has caught up with me and since I'm not on any design teams anymore, my creative drive has all but left me for a bit. Mixed with life and keeping up with my kids schooling, my card crafting has really taken a back burner in my life.

But I recently joined a nice and friendly design team for a stamp company called A Creative Journey with Melissa. Here is a link to their online store and blog: A Creative Journey with Melissa.

It's a 6 month DT commitment and I'm glad I joined because it really pulls me out of my creative shell and get to what I love: Creating Cards!

I chose to work with a set called Petals For You.

I chose to score my own lines on ivory paper with my Martha Stewart Score Board. I used a My Mind's Eye "Sunshine" paper pad for my patterned paper and back cardstock for my matting. I used Memento and Close to My Heart inks to stamp up my Petals For You set, and added colored my rhinestones in with my Y17 Copic marker to bring some pizzaz and color to the card.

You can find the Petals For You in the A Creative Journey's store front HERE.

I hope to have more items to show in the future (*crossing my fingers*) so stick around and I hope to dazzle you some more!

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a great day and come back again soon!
