Around The World on Wednesday January 2025 Blog Hop - This or That

 

Welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop of 2025!  Today we have a fun This or That theme to share with you!  Did you love what Theresa McEntee created this month?!?  If you are just starting here, be sure to hop all the way through so you don't miss her beautiful creations!

It's been so dark and dreary where I live, so I am craving all things warm and sunny!  The new Flora Delight suite is fulfilling that craving with all of it's cheerful Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly sunshine colors.

Do you like creating a card with lots of layers and textures this first card?

Or do you prefer something a little more sweet and simple like this second card?

I tend to be a little more on the sweet and simple side, but every once in a while I love to all lots of layers and textures!

Hop along to see what the rest of our talented team has to share with you this month!

Colorful Cake Celebrations

The fun color challenges continue with the latest Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge.  These colors make me happy...especially during the dreary days of winter!

I finally got to play with the Online Exclusives Cake Celebrations bundle.  I love this cake!

I die cut both layers from Basic Beige, stamping the layers of frosting in the same color.  Each layer was topped with Very Vanilla...quite fitting for a cake!

I stamped the flowers in the challenge colors of Highland Heather, Petunia Pop and Lemon Lime Twist.  I randomly stamped Celebrate in Highland Heather, along with some Petunia Pop starbursts.

I tend to create a lot of birthday cards this time of year to try to stay ahead.  I will be using this bundle again for sure!

Happy Stamping!

Mediterranean Kindness

We're kicking off the New Year with an all new TGIF Challenges Color Challenge and we hope you'll join in the fun!

I pulled out the Mediterranean Blooms DSP to play along with the challenge.  The blues in this paper were meant for this!

I cut a few different partners of DSP in strips, placing them on top of a Basic White card front embossed with the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.

I die cut You're Too Kind from Silver Foil with a Night of Navy background.  A few Basic White Citrus Blooms dies leaves helped to make the sentiment pop just a bit.

I pulled a few strands of silver threads from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack to bring in just a touch more silver.  Such a classy color combo!

Wishing you all a New Year full of inspiration and creativity!

Happy Stamping!
