Citrus Hello - Around the World on Wednesday

Welcome to the July edition of Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!

This month we are casing a team member and adding the fun twist of Scrabble to the mix.  I had the honor of casing Teri of Alaska Stamper, who also happens to be an amazing Artisan Design Team member!  It was so great to meet Teri in person last March in Houston.  I hope we get to see each other in person again someday!

We both started with the word Artisan with our scrabble tiles and built from there.  Our tiles are to tell you all a little about ourselves and our love of stamping.  How fun is this?

This is Teri's card that I cased. I love the black and white images with the blue background...it's simply beautiful!

For my card, I swapped out the apples for oranges.  I stamped the oranges in Tuxedo Black Memento and colored in the background with the Boho Blue Stampin' Blends.  I followed the same layout as Teri's beautiful card and stamped a simple little Hello for the sentiment.

Teri happens to be up next in the hop!  Let's jump on over and see what she has to share with us!

Citrus Blooms Sneak Peek

During OnStage in Houston, attendees had the opportunity to participate in a stamping after hours event.  We got to choose our stamp sets ahead of time and we were given all of the other needed supplies to make some amazing samples.  I was reminded that I am NOT a late night stamper..and by late night, I mean anytime after 7:00 PM.  I could not muster up any creative energy that night, but I did stamp a few bits and pieces that I brought home with me.  Thanks to this weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge, I was finally able to put some of those bits and pieces together to create something fun!

The Citrus Blooms bundle is coming soon in the new Annual Catalog and you are going to love it!  It is part of the Mediterranean Blooms suite and it is gorgeous!

Do you spy a new In-Color?  Let me introduce you to Petunia Pop!  This was the perfect color to compliment the bunch of citrus sweetness!

I used the leafy frame included the Citrus Blooms Dies for an element of the sketch. I simply snipped one side off to fit along the bottom, with just a little bit trailing off the edges.  The Basics 3D Embossing Folders added some additional texture and a few of the new Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems gave just the right amount of shimmer.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks over the next few weeks as we prepare for the launch of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!  You're going to love all this catalog has to offer!

Happy Stamping!
