Welcome to to the Roxybonds Scrappers blog hop!  This month we will be featuring artwork from the Surf's Up paper pack. If you came from Catherine's blog then you are on the right track. Here is the surprisingly simple card I made. The best part of this card is that it required NO stamping or inking so it was quick and easy to complete.  I cut the base out of Surf's Up teal cardstock at 6x12 and scored at 6".  I then cut the coordinating\g b&t papers at 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 (waves) and 5 x 5 (beach).  I used the zip strip of beach balls for accent pieces.  I also punched the girl with umbrella out of the same piece using a 1 1/4" circle punch and the teal with a 1 3/8" punch. Supplies Used: Surf's Up paper pack ( X7168B ) Your next stop on the hop is Jen Patrick of Roxybonds Scrappin.  Thank you for hopping along with us and make sure to come back next month to see what we create!

If you came from Sheila's blog then you are on the right track.  My project is a card featuring a retired paper pack called Moon Doggie.  I love the tropical Hawaiian theme of this paper pack and it always reminds me of soaking up the sun on a beach with one of those umbrella drinks in my hand. The best part of this card is that it required no stamping or inking so it can be completed quickly and easily with just the paper pack and coordinating my stickease. I hope you enjoyed fun in the sun with me and please continue onto Pamela's blog to enjoy some more fun.

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter K. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their K element will be featured in their post. For my project I decided to make something featuring a K ite!  Since the warmer weather is finally upon us, it seemed like a natural transition for the theme of my card.  I apologize for not realizing that so many of the products I used are no longer available but I have to use up my stash somehow, right?  I used a Cricut cartridge to cut out a kite and some shadow pieces.  I also used the Artiste cartridge to cut out the sentiment piece.  I used an A size stamp set to make some clouds and fussy cut one out of a retired paper pack.  Please see my supply list below for all the specifics. Supply List: Colonial white card and envelope ( X1410 ) Cricut Artiste cartridge ( Z1790 ) Pacifica ink pad ( Z2192 ) ...
