Hi There! Thank you for stopping by today! Welcome back to the Glitter & Glam Girls Blog Hop!

This month’s theme: Anything goes!

I wanted to choose something that you could possibly take with you while traveling on vacation – maybe you are camping, maybe you are traveling on a plane or a train.. or maybe, you are doing a stay-cation and spending time with the grandkids and want to look for a fun project you can do together.. maybe, its a rainy day and you want to create but you want something easy, relaxing, with the bits and baubles ready to assemble!

Well, my friends, look no further! Here is one of our Stampin` Up! Project Kits to the rescue!

I love our kits – some are all inclusive (they have a stamp set included) and some, you need to purchase the stamp set separately. Either way,  they are just simply… awesome!

I am showcasing the Project Kit, “For The Love Of Felt”. I LOVE these felt flowers! I love the texture, I love the color.. they are the bomb.com!

First of all, check out this cute box! This is what the kit is packed in. Super cute, right?

This makes it perfect to store your cards and envelopes, OR.. give the entire kit as a special gift to someone who loves when you make then handmade cards. You know, those who love your creative pieces of work!

The item # for this kit is 149650 and the cost is $30.00. It makes 12 cards – 4 each of 3 designs.

Here are the adorable cards:

The kit comes with full color instructions!

But, if you’d like to think outside the box and do your own thing, that is always fun too!

Here is the stamp set that coordinates with it – you will have to purchase this separately:

This set has a lot of potential outside of using it for this card kit!

Super cute!!! Which is your favorite? Below you will find the other accessories you will need along with the kit and stamp set.

Gather some friends, and put your kits together – sharing a little cheese and wine! That sounds like a great girl time night to me!

Now, lets take a little time to browse the other blogs from my friends! You are guaranteed to be inspired! Thank you so much for stopping by! I appreciate you being here!

Make something pretty and get inky!! *hugs*

Welcome everyone to our first Glitter and Glam Girls Blog Hop! Don’t you just dig the name? Its so us! We are so excited to offer you some amazing inspiration and talent with our group! So, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and let’s enjoy some fantastic Stampin Up! creativity!

As our Annual and Occasions Catalogs come to a close, I wanted to see how I could use up more of my Designer Series Paper. I’m trying to release the hoarding of our beautiful DSP (Designer Series Paper). I mean.. sure, its beautiful, right? But, it serves no purpose to keep it in its packaging and not use. THAT makes me sad! Lets use it and spread the joy to others who may need a hug in an envelope. Reaching out to others and making them smile and feel better is WHY we all make cards!

On that note, I have a great way for you to use up all those scraps you have. I am “mashing up” the Incredible Like You Stamp Set, with the Happiness Blooms Suite of product. These are a couple of my favorites and I think they go so well together!

Let’s check it out:

Love it, right? And, all 4 cards use the exact same layout! I just changed up the patterns of our DSP , color of card stock, and the colors of ink.. and walah!

So, lets get to some digits and a recipe:

The card is 4 1/4 x 11 inches and scored at 11 inches

The first layer is the same color card stock and cut at 4 x 5 1/4 inches and after building the “front” i then added this entire piece with dimensionals.

The strips of DSP is 1 x 4 inches.

The Whisper White card stock square is cut at 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

So, first, choose what designer series paper you are going to use. Pick coordinating colors of card stock that match the DSP.

HELPFUL HINT: Did you know, when you purchase our designer series paper, if you look on the back label, Stampin Up! now lists all the coordinating colors in our 58 color palette family? I know right? Super coolness!

Once you have picked out your patterned DSP and card stock, you are ready to rock it with some coordinating inks!

Don’t forget the dimensionals.. I use these like I eat chocolate.. a LOT!  I attached the card stock to the base with them, I also used them on the square white piece.

Oh.. and don’t forget the bling! WE CANT have that! Add some of those beautiful rhinestone jewels to it to add some sparkle and “glam” – and you’re done.

You may want to decorate the envelope too.. I hate to see those left naked! *gasp*

Now, let’s hop around and check out the amazing talent of my friends!
