SP & Company July Hop!

Hi and welcome to the DT Hop!!! I'm so glad you're here!

This month's color is Royal Blue! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's Royal Blue challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some amazing SP and Company prizes!


Are you itching to win some stuff???!!! Then don't forget that the random prize patrol is watching! Leave a comment on every blog to be eligible for the prizes!! The more blogs you comment on, the better your chances are of winning something fun!


Now, onto my projects!

For the first one, I used the brand new Swirly Doos set! L-O-V-E! This set allows you to mix and match different sentiments along with a little sunburst-inspired image.  Simply fantastic.




I stamped the burst in a light green and then I added a little dark green to the center and to the lines.  I treated it like leaves.  Then, I cut apart the card and added a blue strip underneath and pieced the white base back together.  It gives a little more interest than a normal strip added to the top of a card.  I created the flower by hand with different punches and tools!


For my second card, I knew I wanted to do something fun with confetti since I was using the birthday sentiment.  So, I punched out some blue & white confetti and I placed it in a glassine bag.  I stamped the burst from Swirly Doos on the bag.



I also added Chevron Chase to the background and I cut a banner using a square punch to create the end element.  Fun, huh?

Still craving more inspiration???
