Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year and hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using ©Stampin’ Up! products.

This month’s theme is “Birthday”! Once you are done with each post, you can click on the “Next” button to go to the next post in line or scroll down to the list of Blog Hop participants and click on a name to go directly to that person’s post. Happy crafting!

My Card this month features the Paradise Palms stamp set and the Palms Dies from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It also features a technique that I CASE’d from Cindy Schuster from @thecraftycarrotco August event. My color palette for this month’s project is Basic White, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mossy Meadow, Soft Suede, and Early Espresso.

The prep: I started by ripping cardstock strips (Basic White, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, and Bermuda Bay) on the length of one side and adhering them to a 1/2 sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock. Then I cut a 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ piece from it. I stamped my palm tree images in Soft Suede and Mossy Meadow and die cut them out with the Palms Dies. The palm tops were adhered to the trunks. I also cut out the decorative border from Crumb Cake cardstock. Using the Into The Clouds embossing folder, I embossed a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment on Early Espresso cardstock with white embossing powder and cut it to size.

Putting it all together: The embossed Basic White piece was attached to a standard sized Basic White Thick card base. Then I attached the layered, color piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The palm trees were adhered to the layered piece, and a dimensional added to the top of the large palm that lays over the base. A 2 1/2″ piece of the woven ribbon was adhered over the palm trunks and a 2 1/2″ piece of the decorative border was adhered to the top half of the ribbon. A faux linen thread bow was attached to the back of the sentiment, then the whole sentiment piece was attached over the ribbon/decorative border layers with more Stampin’ Dimensionals. The final touch was the adhesive-backed sequins that were added to the layered piece.
