Welcome to the Paper Adventures Team Blog Hop - NEW

 


Welcome to the Paper Adventures Team blog Hop.... and welcome to my blog!  This is all very exciting because I am very honoured to have been asked to be the Guest Designer for this blog hop this month!  How exciting!  Thanks Narelle for asking me!  Even though this isnt my demonstrator team, I love that the demonstrator community works so well together and support each other. Truly, Stampin' Up demonstrators are extra special people! 





This month's theme is "NEW".  I took a while to come up with an idea for this theme.  But as luck would have it my daughter is off to the wedding of a friend tomorrow... and what could be more about "New" and "New Beginnings" more than  a wedding, right?  So I made this card for her to take, and I hope they love it!


Of course, I used lots of NEW products on my card too. AND there's something else that is NEW.... This is a new card size for me.  Something that has been trending lately is the "Slimline Card".... so its wider and narrower than usual.  And I gave it a go on this card.  


I've used the gorgeous new "Forever & Always" stamp set as well as the matching "Always Dies".  I cut the "Always" from our lovely new Sahara Sand Foil (in the Love You Always foil sheets).  I also used the divine True Love  DSP.... I am such a sucker for Black and White patterned papers!  The other NEW thing I used on this card is one of my FAVOURITE things in the whole catalogue.... the fabulous new set of Blending Brushes!  These are phenomenal.... they give the most beautiful blended backgrounds, and you will LOVE them!  They come in a pack of 3, and cost $21aud.  


Here's a closer look at my card:



Thank you so much for visiting me today.... and thanks to the Paper Adventures Team for inviting me to be part of their hop today.

Your card is lovely Linda, I love that new foil and the black and white DSP too! I bet the new couple loved the card. I have not done a slimline card yet. Seems to be all the rage lately! Thank you for taking the time to join us this month. Mandy x

This is absolutely gorgeous, Linda! I must give blending a go, I love how you’ve used it here. Thank you for joining our team hop!

Thanks for joining the team hop, Linda hope you had fun? Who doesn't love black and white together such classic colours and with the pop of colour what is not to love....

I’m sure this card will be cherished-elegant and sophisticated. I haven’t tried a slimline card yet but I do love the look!
