Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - August 2024 - Summer Fun / Stamping With Melva

Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop - August 2024 - Summer Fun

Thursday, 8 August 2024

Today I'm hopping other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators in the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. The theme this month is "Summer Fun". I created this fun card with dragonflies for a Team Card Swap. Dragonflies make me think of summer so I thought it was perfect for this hop!

I love Petunia Pop and Black as a colour combination.

Instructions

Cut Petunia Pop cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
Cut Basic Black cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
Cut Basic White cardstock 3 3/4" x 5"
Stamp dragonflies randomly on Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

Stamp stars using Petunia Pop ink
Adhere to Basic Black cardstock
