Happy Hedgehogs meet Ringed With Nature

 Today’s card combines a bundle from the 2022-23 Stampin’ Up! Annual catalog with a new bundle from the JJ 2022 Stampin’ Up! mini catalog.  When I first saw Ringed With Nature I just knew I needed to combine it with those happy little hedgehogs from the annual catalog!  Next I added a fall Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the host reward paper pack called Celebrate Everything.  You can get this 48 sheet pack of paper free using your Stampin’ Rewards when you host a workshop which is at least $150 or place an order of that amount ($180 is needed to get absolutey free or $3 with $150.) It made the perfect backdrop for my scene!  It has taken me a bit, but here is my design.  You can watch the FB live replay where I put this card together over on my YouTube channel by clicking the link HERE:

Best Remedy Card Kit 3D Purse Tissue Box

 When I received this kit, I just knew I needed to make a tissue box with the cute little skunk image and the sentiments!  So I sat down Monday night and designed a box to fit my purse pack of Kleenex tissues.  Here is the project I came up with.  I'll show you a photo of my first project as well.  Not much difference in the two, except my pattern paper for the final project actually came from the kit as half of one of the card bases.  

You can watch how I put this project together by clicking here:




This is my original design and uses last year's 2021-2023 6x6 In Color DSP in Polished Pink.  After designing it, I realized I could just use half a card front from the card kit.  With the way I cut the card front, I was able to have a piece left over for the inside of the card you will see in Thursday's blogpost.  
Measurements and Supplies:
Best Remedy Card Kit
Half of striped card base for patterned paper, you will need one piece at 7/8 x 2 1/4", one piece 2 1/4 x 4 3/8 and two pieces 7/8 x 4 3/8"
Polished Pink card stock for box 7 x 7 1/8"--Score on 7 1/8" side at 1, 3 3/8, 4 3/8 and 6 3/4", rotate clockwise and Score on 7" side at 1, 5 1/2 and 6 1/2"

Basic Gray scrap approximately 1 1/4 x 4"
Polished Pink cardstock 3/8 x 2 1/4" for sentiment strip
Decorative Label Punch
Stylish Shapes dies

Thanks a Ton Hippo card with Whale Done

 This is the final card of my watercoloring technique class from my live on Tuesday, 7-26-22.  It's just a really fun card that shows off a variety of products and coloring techniques.  You can watch how I created this look by watching my YouTube video here:

The focal image background is made using a stamped image from the watercolor stamp set for the sun, then I masked the sun and ink blended Orchid Oasis at the top and balmy blue ink at the bottom.  The sentiment comes from Whale done and complements this image beautifully.
