Stitched All Around for #GDP142

Today I played along with the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP142.  This week is a fabulous sketch challenge.  Have fun and play along too:
For this project I used the stamp set called Stitched All Around and the coordinating Stitched Label Framelits Dies.  I cannot tell you how fun it was to make this card with the stitched die!  I love the design and the placement of the imprint on the design series paper.
I  used a bunch of new items from the annual catalog from Stampin' Up! on this card.  Each one is as lovely as the next. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share the joy of stamping with you.  Check out all of the supplies for this project below.

Pals June Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals June, 2018 Blog Hop. This month we’re going to Pick a “B”. Projects for Babies, Birthdays or Brides, that is. Be on the look out for creations using new products from Stampin’ Up! 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 the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal. 
I chose the B for Bride for my card this month.  The bride I have in mind loves little scooters and vespas.  I used the Mediterranean Moments stamp set along with some cool design series paper from the Nature's  Poem Design Series Paper.  The colors are Soft Sea Foam, Whisper White and Grapefruit Grove.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set called Itty Bitty Greetings and is punched out using the Classic Label Punch.  Thanks for stopping by today!
Now it’s time to use the Blog Hop Line-up below to see which “B” the rest of my Pals are using. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations. 

Mark your calendars for July 11, 2018 for our annual Pattern Party featuring projects using favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers and coordinating embellishments.  Don’t miss it!

Here are all of the Stampin' Up! products that I used for today's project:

Our theme this month is Friendship.   We need to make sure our friends and family know that we LOVE them!  A great way we can do that is to make a project, gift or card for them and let them know how much their friendship means to you. 
For this card I used a combination of the new stamp set called All The Good Things along with the Tropical Chic Bundle.  The background design series paper is from the Tropical Escape 6 x 6 paper stack.  I love how the die cuts work so perfectly with this paper.  The ribbon is from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.  I added a little pearl for the flower center and voila' an awesome card for a wonderful friend.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today make sure you head over to Kylie's blog to vote for my project. I would love to be chosen to do an international blog hop.  Here are all of the products I used for this card:
