Kelly's Stamping Friends - Birthday Blog Hop 2018

No automatic alt text available.
What a way to celebrate! Today is my gorgeous friend Kelly Kent's birthday so she is throwing herself a blog hop party! I am so happy to be part of this great celebration. Happy Birthday gorgeous girl! I should add that she has so many people wanting to hop and celebrate with her that there are 2 groups of 20 hopping. You can find the participant list below. Just hop from one link to the next to see lots of gorgeous projects. And yes.... I have met my 'gorgeous' quota for this post!

What better project to show you for this hop than the card I made for Kelly. I gave myself a treat for Kelly's birthday and bought a few new Stampin' Up! products. So here is the card. It is a Tri-Fold Window Card and I used a tutorial by Bronwyn Eastley from AddINKtive Designs. You can find another card that I made using this tutorial here.



It's a really fun card fold that adds that bit of drama for a special card.


When I saw it in the new Stampin' Up 2018/19 Annual catalogue, I thought the Varied Vases stamp set and coordinating punch looked really good but it wasn't until I used it that I realised how fabulous it actually is. With some silver embossing, the flowers stamp up a treat! And how about those stylish vases???



There is even room on the back to write a message. I somehow managed to write my message on the inside so had the remake that panel minutes before I had to leave to post it! Oops!


Next up is another ..... now what is a synonym for gorgeous .......friend, Jenny Hall. (I am so lucky that I have made so many (must buy a thesaurus) friends both in person and online through Stampin' Up! Lucky to have you all in my life. You are all .........
