I love to personalize gifts, even something as simple as a little potted plant. I added a butterfly plant marker to these succulents using the Butterfly die from the Springtime Impressions thinlet dies. This is a simple way to dress up a plant and say THANK YOU! Use up those supplies and share. These plants were appreciation gifts for our outgoing elementary school PTF members.
It's my favorite way to start the week. Its time for another Global Design Project challenge. This week we are casing Janneke De Jong. She is so talented. You can see more of her work on her website here.
I was really inspired by Janneke to use purple for my CASE card. I also used the same Stitched All Around bundle but switched up the greeting and the medallion label a bit. The little flowers come from the Pop of Petals stamp set. These have been hand cut.
Check out more inspiration on the Global Design Project blog and PLAY along with the design team. We'd love to see how Janneke's card inspires you!

Yikes! I spent the day at the beach and completely neglected posting this on time. If you are visiting again, thanks for your patience!
Let's talk Varied Vases. This edition of the Stamp Review the crew will show many inspiring ideas using this fun builder stamp set. I love this set. It's super cute and very versatile. The set includes 34 images and coordinated with the Vase builder punch.
This stamp set & punch design was directed by Mary Fish as part of her million dollar sales achievement. Read more about this on Mary's blog.
I have a few additional projects to share I created previously at the end of this post.
Let's talk about this card a little. I opted to created a card using green, purple and black ... what?! I don't think I've ever used these colors together, seriously. In hindsight I am questioning myself. What was I thinking? It would make a great Halloween color combo, that is for certain. Ha!
The background watercolor was created so easily. Did you happen to notice the shape is the exact same size as Stampin' Up's ink pad? To get a similar look all you need to do is wet watercolor paper and then directly stamp the pad (yes the pad) onto the wet paper. Blend and smooth out the ink as desired. So easy, right?
The greeting is stamped in Memento ink directly onto the watercolor background (after the background has dried). I used my Stamparatus for exact placement and inked up the verse a few times to stamp it good and dark.
Next up is: Tanya. You can catch the full Varied Vases blog roll below and thanks again for joining us on this edition of Stamp Review Crew.
Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products.
It's all about the numbers this month. While my 6x8 page is not chalk full of numbers the ones that are there are important. Last month I made page for my Grandmother's book documenting her birthday except that page had no numbers, no dates, nothing. Oops. Just a pretty page. So this month I'm making up for it. This page includes the year (2018) and her age (88), as well as the month and day.
While she has some balance and memory issues she is still trucking and is STRONG! This page actually documents her 88th birthday right before she blew out her cake candles. She is wearing her favorite color, purple. And, it's dated. That is important. I'll get the hang of this scrapbooking thing eventually (you may even get to see some journaling).
Let's talk products: Overall I like how this page turned out. I used the purple marble and purple flower papers from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Papers. These papers are photo realistic and really elegant. The stamp set is called Beautiful Promenade. I stamped the small flower images in Versamark and heat set with gold embossing powder. The stamped flowers are colored with Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends for a hint of color. Do you like that repeating diamond pattern in the background? I DO! That border was easily created using my Stamparatus and the hinge step. Oh, and those NUMBERS, the stamped numbers come from the Make a Difference stamp set. Full supplies are listed below.
