Did you know that there is an International Bat Night?  It is celebrated on August 28 and 29th.  This festivity is providing the inspiration for the Festive Friday #FF0090 Inspo List.  The Inspo List has 10 items on it and to play along with the Festive Friday Challenge, you need to use at least 3 items from the Inspo List on your project.  You can read about the challenge  and how to play along HERE.

I chose to use from the Inspo List; black, silver, and emboss.

I used the Meadow dies to cut out the flower from  Black Glitter paper.   The flower panels were layered on top of Basic Gray CS.  I wanted to add something else shiny so I cut the flowers out of silver foil and inlaid them into the flower. 

The label is also from the Meadow Dies.  The sentiment was embossed using silver embossing powder from the Metallics  Stampin' Emboss Powder and secured using silver twine from the Simply Elegant Trim.

Hope you will join in the challenge.  I would love to see your creation in the Festive Friday Gallery.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team created for Festive Friday Challenge #FF0090.

August 2021 Stamp of the Month Projects… To Go!

This month the stamp of the month is Penguin Place (pg 33 of the Mini Catalog). The To Go projects use both the Penguin Place stamp set and the Penguin Builder punch aka Penguin Place bundle (156789).  Having the Penguin Builder punch will make it easier to complete the projects. What comes in your To Go kit?  All the paper,  DSP, embellishments and a link to the tutorials to make your cards.  The Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad  (132708), Just Jade pad (153115), Calypso Coral pad (122925) were used on the projects. Inks and adhesive are not included with the To Go projects. 

To register all you need to do is place an order for $40 using the Host Code QCHS4QTM on my online store (https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=19235)  on or before the15th of the month.  Your kit will be mailed  to you on or before the 22nd of the month.  The Host Code is how I will know you want the Stamp of the Month Projects to go. You will need the stamp set to complete the projects.  The punch is optional but be prepared to do some fussy cutting if you do not order the punch.  I would also recommend adding $10 more to your order so you will also qualify for a FREE Sale-A-Bration choice.  Penguin Playmates 12” x 12” DSP- FREE with a $50 order (158420) coordinates with the Penguin Place bundle and is simply adorable.
