July Greek Isles Blog Hop!

Thank you for joining us for our July Greek Isles 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 July is the Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalog!

Today I used the stamp set called Inspiring Iris.  This was one of my must have stamp sets from the new annual catalog from Stampin' Up!  I love how it is a two step stamp and makes it easy to get the colorful flowers with the green stems.

I paired the beautiful flowers with the Layering Circles dies and added a bit more color with my stampin' blends markers.  I wanted more of a rustic background, so I used the brick and mortar embossing folder and sponged it with some crumb cake ink.  Then I added the die cut cattails from the Friendly Silhouettes dies.  The Purple Tricolor ribbon and a few Noble Rhinestones were the perfect finish for this card.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don't want to miss.  Remember that currently you are at my blog - Jennifer Michalski @ Stamping Serenity, so check the blog hop line up list to see who is next.

Stampin' Pretty Pals July Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals July Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects that are “Mixing It Up” adding texture that will really take your projects up a notch or two! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

For my project today I used a variety of texture techniques.  First I embossed a piece of whisper white card stock with the tin tile 3D embossing folder. Then I added a bit of Sahara Sand ink with my sponge dauber to the embossing image on the whisper white.  I stamped the sentiment in Rococo Rose onto whisper white card stock and then I tore the edges for a vintage look around the sentiment. Then I added some Sahara Sand ink with my sponge dauber for a tarnished look.

A piece of the Woven Threads design series paper was just perfect for placing behind the sentiment and giving it more dimension on the card. I finished the card with some of the rich looking Rococo Rose gathered ribbon and added some gold metallic pearls.

Do you know someone who needs an encouraging word? Maybe a get well soon or WOW you are amazing; even a thank you card? This is a great way to think of someone that you want to build up and give some love or encouragement.

For this card I used a little red, white and blue color scheme as we are celebrating the 4th of July this week here in the US.  The color trio is Lovely Lipstick, Whisper White and Blueberry Bushel.
