Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop - February 2023 - LOVE

 

 

 Welcome to Ink & Share Scrapbook Blog Hop.
We are an international group of Scrapbookers from all around the globe.
It's been a while since I joined a hop, so I am keen to
rekindle my LOVE of Scrapbooking and thought what better way to jump back
in was with a LOVE Theme.

I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible 6 x 6 DSP Irresistible Blooms from the Online Exclusive.
These products will be available from March 1 until they sell out.
This DSP is just pure magic, the art work that designer has created
with all the flowers and leaves that are printed and they have matching dies
to cut them out with your Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.
Sooo no fussy cutting, which I actually LOVE. So all the hard work done for you.

I chose a layout from Pinterest to case.

Those who know me well, know that I LOVE Designer Series Paper.
I love that our DSP co-ordinates with everything Stampin' Up! has to offer.
So NO Stamping on this layout for me...


Sooo I used a couple of different DSP's to create this layout
Design A Daydream 12 x 12 DSP from the back of the Annual Catalogue as a Host reward
The Irresistible Blooms 6 x 6 DSP - Online Exclusive March 1 release
AND some of the Beautiful Texture Chic 12 x 12 DSP
along with the matching Texture Chic Memories and More Card Pack
The Distressed Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Paper

 Other products I used were
Love For You Bundle
Penned Flowers Dies
Irresistible Blooms Dies
Retired Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls

 

The photograph is layered onto a small piece of Petal Pink, Design A Daydream 12 x 12 DSP
Then bordered with Mango Melody cardstock.
I created a FAUX pocket under the photo so that I could 
add hidden journalling on the pull tab of Moments.
I just used the Foam Adhesive Sheets to create the gap
for the journalling to slide in and out of.
The Hello, Irresistible flowers and the Tag are not actually stuck to the photograph
they are just sitting over the edge and they are stuck with some more of the
Foam Adhesive Sheets outside the perimeter of the photograph.

 

I saw that the original creator had used her sewing machine by the look of it.
BUT we have a stitched border in the Penned Dies and I just
used that to create the faux stitching lines on my Petal Pink layer.
Also I used that same die for my stitched scalloped border out of Calypso Coral.

All the layers to form the central design element.
Small pink floral background DSP is from Design A Daydream 12 x 12 DSP
Flirty Flamingo layer of cardstock (which I cut out the excess, very frugal)
Petal Pink layer of cardstock with the faux stitching
Small strip of Texture Chic 12 x 12 DSP
Stitched scallop border die in Calypso Coral cardstock.

All the coloured flowers and the printed leaves are cut from Hello, Irresistible DSP
The diecut leaves are cut from Evening Evergreen cardstock.
Lots of lovely layered flowers using the Foam Adhesive Sheets again to create layers.
Also you will see some Gold leaves these are from the sticker sheets
in Texture Chic Memories and More Card Pack.


The So Much More is diecut from The Distressed Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Paper
with the Love for You dies from the Mini Catalogue.
I added some Retired Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls to finish off with the golden touch.

 

 This was so much FUN, so glad to be back.
Can't wait to do more scrapbooking in 2023
