Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - October 2023

Thursday, 12 October 2023

Time for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators around the world who participate each month to share projects we are working on. Our theme this month is "Thoughts and Prayers".

I pulled out the Color & Contour Stampset and Scalloped Rectangle Dies to make my card. This is one of my favourite sets in the Annual Catalogue and the dies are always one of the first I pull out. Sometimes it's hard to make a card with this kind of sentiment, but this stamp set is perfect!

Check out this pretty card in Berry Burst, White and Black.

Instructions

Cut Berry Burst cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".
Fold and burnish on card base using Bone Folder to form card base.
Stamp flower around edge of card base using Berry Burst ink
Cut rectangle using second largest Die from Basic White cardstock
Cut rectangle using third largest Die from Berry Burst cardstock
Adhere to Basic White rectangle.
Cut Basic White cardstock 2" x 3 1/4"
Stamp flower using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Stamp inside of flowers using Berry Burst ink stamped off.

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.

Check out my Youtube Video for tips and tricks to make this card. Don't forget to subscribe to my Stamping with Melva YouTube Channel!

Now it's time to be inspired by all of the Projects in our Blog Hop!

I hope you have been inspired!
