ICS Blog Hop - Friendly Wishes

Hello everyone!  Welcome to the May edition of the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!  My friends and I have some great ideas to share with you tonight, all around the theme "It's A Girl Thing!".  Be sure to leave some love for the blogs as you hop around.  

I decided to go with a Mother's Day card.  It is definitely a girl thing, and coming up so fast!

Here is my card:

I used many retiring products on my card.  Remember, accessories, tools, and consumable items that are on the retiring list are only available while supplies lasts.  Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed through May 22nd, and then will only be while supplies lasts.  Be sure to get you retiring list order in soon, before your favorite items are gone for good!

Next up on the hop tonight is my friend Jennifer.  I am sure she has something fabulous to share, so be sure to go check it out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great night!

I'm Always Here for You

Hello everyone!

Today, I am sharing a card, and envelope I made for a challenge I found in a local crafting group I belong to.  Kat Scrappiness & Newton's Nook have a card challenge going for encouraging and supportive cards; in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Here is the card I made:

I featured the Flirty Flamingo Envelope Paper on my card, and then used the rest of one sheet to make a matching envelope.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!

Ultimate Pink Blog Hop

Welcome to the first ever Ultimate Pink Blog Hop – a collection of ideas from Stampin’ UP! demonstrators all over the globe featuring shades of pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I am so happy to be a part of this blog hop.  I have a simple card, and treat to share with you today.

I love giving little treats with my cards.  I think it just adds a nice extra touch.  I also love how the card and treat together show the great coordination of Stampin' Up! products.  

My tiny little treat box was made with the Envelope Punch Board, that is still on sale for a few more days.   I learned how to make this little box from a YouTube video by Poodles Papercraft.  It is just a 3 1/4" square.  You score and punch at 2" for the first side, and then just line up on the score lines after that.  I put a Hershey Miniature in my little box.  I wrapped my box with Whisper White Baker's Twine to make it look a little more like a tiny package.

I am excited you  are here. To continue to be inspired whether you’ve come from the person previous to me or after me (Nichole Loe) on the list below all participants are listed to help you as you journey among us being filled with pink inspiration.
