Beautiful Promenade Blog Hop

in Artisan Design Team 2018, Cardmaking, Creativity on 09/20/18

I’m so excited about our Artisan Design Team Hop Today! The Petal Promenade Suite is simply stunning.  Stampin’up!’s designer captured colorful blooms in the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set but also in the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.  The assorted Petal Promenade Cardstock Pack combines a rich combo of colors which is right up my top choices (Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink and Thick Very Vanilla).  To add to this beautiful collection are the embellishments.  I adore the Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems and the Metallic Thread. They add a special touch of elegance to cards or memory keeper projects.

You may have just arrived here from my wonderful and talented friend Kayla MacAulay from Australia. I adore her projects for today’s Hop!

We have a variety of projects to showcase for you today.

As much as it was tempting to showcase cards today, I couldn’t resist creating a mini album that I could carry around in my purse or keep on my coffee table as a memento.  Being a mom of 3 daughters, the Petal Promenade Suite reminds me of them.  It brings me back to the memories of my daughters growing up.  As you may see from this recent picture, I don’t have babies anymore 🙁 “happy sad face”

Have you ever organized a photoshoot with your kids?  This was my yearly tradition when my daughters were young.  I chose pictures from Jordan’s photoshoot to add to my album today. The beautiful pink, peach and yellow roses reminded me of  the Petal Promenade DSP.

There is a list of products used at the bottom of my post from the Petal Promenade Suite.  But, I also wanted to add other products that I felt would coordinate beautifully with the Petal Promenade Suite:

  • Ruffled Embossing Folder
  • Whisper White 5/8” Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon

If you aren’t a fan of scrapbooking, you could easily create this album but instead of adding pictures, you can add cards or tags and give this bundle as  a hostess gift.

I fussy cut the dsp for the cover of my album and also added Jordan’s face in one of the dsp pattern paper.

At the center of my album, I embellished using the Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set and it’s coordinating Beautiful Layers Thinlits Dies. This collection is also available in French.

Next on the hop is my sweet friend Lauren Alarid from the United States.  I love her creations, all her cards are stunning! Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
