Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge #610

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

We are CASING the Mini Catalog and adding our

own little twist for this week's Paper Craft

Crew Weekly Challenge!  I found my inspiration from

a card I found on page 30 using the Ocean Friends suite.

These types of challenges are a great way to use a fun design

with products you may already have on hand. So often I hear 

" I don't have that set" and that's okay! This type of challenge

makes it so easy!

Ink: Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop, Craft White

This week's rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge sketch gave me a

palette - so bold and bright and happy and  just "pops" with the 

black background! It's the perfect card to tell someone how much they 

mean to me! Of course, I had to finish off the card with the 

Purple Adhesive-Backed sequins also FREE during Sale-A-Bration!

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to the Create with Stampin' Friends

Saturday Blog Hop! Over the next several weeks, the

team will be "CASING the Designer" featuring products

from the Jan-Apr mini catalog. This is a great way to 

freshen-up a past design using something new. It also

shows how easy it is to substitute an image for something

you may already have in your collection!

This week, it's Lori's turn! I found my inspiration card

 from her June/2024. You'll see from both photos how similar the 

fonts are in the sentiments. The card is almost identical! I did add

a few little gems to mine for a little extra sparkle!
