Hi, crafty friends. I’m so excited to be part of the Sunny Days Ahead Release Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. I’ve created two cards from one background image…
I started by heat embossing THIS background image on to THIS card stock using THIS embossing powder. I started with a 6 x 6 sheet of card stock so I could get the entire background image. I colored in the image with THESE markers and cut it in half so I could have two pieces for two cards. I added a gold mat to the edges of the panels using THIS card stock. I used the same card stock as well as white and black to die-cut THIS word. I adhered the die-cut word on the panel as well as THESE printed black sentiment strips.
Here’s a closer look…
I stamped the same background stamp on the flap of the envelopes to tie everything together.
I hope this inspires you to stamp the entire 6×6 image from your background stamps and make two cards.

Just started doing this blogging thing and watching videos. Never had time for this until now. And I am blown away what all you can do. I just started this blog hopping stuff and man its really cool. Thanks for doing this for us that need inspiration. I just learned of this company signed up for the newsletter. Will be hopefully making an order soon where I can try all this cool stuff.
