Accented Blooms for #GDP139

Today I played along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP139.  This week has countless possibilities. 'Just a note to say....' could translate as - hello; happy birthday; get well; thinking of you; thank you; congratulations....this list is endless!   Here is the theme so you can play along too:

I used the new 6x6 design series paper called Garden Impressions for the background.  Then I stamped the floral image from the Accented Blooms stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped in the new color called Mango Melody and punched out using the Tailored Tag punch.

I added some color to the flowers using my stamping write markers in Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, So Saffron, Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink.  Then burlap ribbon was just the thing for an added finishing touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can begin to order the new items from the Annual Catalog on June 1, so mark your calendar!  Here are all of the items I used for this card.

Nature's Greetings for #GDP138

Today I played along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP138.  This week is a fabulous sketch challenge.  Here is the sketch so you can play along too:

I took some inspiration from my one of the design team members and my friend Stesha Bloodhart.  Make sure to check out her creation in the team design line up.  

I used the new design series paper called Nature's Poem for the background.  Then I punched some leaves in vellum and Grapefruit Grove.  The Nature's Roots Framelits Dies were the perfect touch to make the embossed and dies cut leaf in Soft Suede.  

The sentiment comes from a brand new stamp set call Itty Bitty Greetings that will be available in the upcoming annual catalog on June 1 from Stampin' Up!  The fonts on this stamp set are pretty awesome.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Here are all of the items I used for this card.  

Alaska Achievers May Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us for our May Alaskan Achievers blog hop. Those hopping today are Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip. We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin' Up!® products. I live in Minnesota in the US and would love to help you if you have any questions.

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity or may have come from the person previous to me in the list.  If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the fun. At the moment you are visiting Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity.  Our hop theme in May is the Share What You Love Bundle.

The colors for this card are Grapefruit Grove,  Whisper White and Rich Razzleberry.  I used a bunch of items from the Share What You Love Bundle that is available now on early release from Stampin' Up!  I stamped the sentiment and sentiment background from the Love What You Do stamp set, then die cut it using the layering ovals framelits.  I layered it over the beautiful pearlized design series paper from the Share What You Love 12 x 12 paper stack. 

The background is embossed using the Petal Burst Folder.  I trimmed the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch and the doily frame comes from the Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut design paper, both new items in the upcoming annual catalog.  I added some Artisan Pearls and a little bow as finishing touches.
