TGIF Challenges - Designer Inspiration - Rochelle Blok

May 26, 2017

Welcome to another TGIF Challenge. The week we are are creating projects inspired by the EVER-SO talented Rochelle Blok. Rochelle is a well-deserved member of the 2017 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design team. This means she is the best of the best, AND always has the latest SU goodies to play with. Her projects are super inspiring!

I've chosen to CASE a card Rochelle made a few weeks ago for the 2 year anniversary of TGIF Challenges.

My youngest child turns 7 tomorrow and I needed a birthday card at the ready. The card Rochelle made proved to be a great jumping off point to create my card.

I find that Rochelle's cards usually have so many micro details, the more you look, the more you find. I tried to incorporate a few extra details and finishes in my card as well. I used wink of Stella to give the stars on the embossed paper a little shimmer. Mini sequin trim and metallic thread add even more sparkle.

HIP, HIP, HOORAY! My baby is seven!

Number of Years - What Will You Stamp 100

January 23, 2017

Welcome to another weekly stamp set challenge with the What Will You Stamp design team. This we are sharing projects using the Number of Years stamp set.

I made this card for my Grandma. While her birthday is still a ways away I wanted to create a card specific for her. I can't decide if I LOVE this card. Is the the color? Or the pattern paper? Just not sure. I may need to take another try on this card at a later date.

What I do LOVE is the Number of Years stamp set. It's such a great large number set perfect for card making. Check out these other creations using Number of Years on the What Will You Stamp blog. Thanks for stopping by.

20th Anniversary + Sneak Peak for It’s a Celebration

August 17, 2016

Can you believe it? Chris and I have been married 20 years. Today is our 20th anniversary!!! Nuts as it seems like forever and yesterday all at the same time.

I sat down last night to make a card and struggled a bit. I had cardmakers block. LOL. I guess the pressure of 20 years got to me. So I made two cards. Can't decided which one I like best so I'll give one to Chris and he can use the other for me. :)

The Firework images on this card are a little sneak peak from a new stamp set (It’s a Celebration) from the upcoming Holiday mini, available to view and purchase from on Sept 1. Stay tuned!
