Lucky Clover for PP622

Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, Ann is hosting a fun Theme Challenge.
What a fun theme this week: “Tag You’re It!” Our projects have to feature tags on them so there are SO many different ways to play along with this theme. I sure hope you will get crafty and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create with this Theme Challenge!  

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo: 
My card features the new Lucky Clover stamp set and coordinating punch from the Stampin’ Up!® January - April Mini Catalog. I was so excited to see this bundle in the new catalog! It’s a great set for St. Patrick’s Day and Good Luck cards. I didn’t have a set like it in my stamping stash, so I couldn’t wait to get it! I really like the whimsical font in the sentiments, too. 

I layered my little clover on a tag duo cut from the Tailor Made Tags Dies. It took me a while to finally order these dies, but now I find I use them ALL the time. The pop of texture in the background comes from the new Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder. This folder has some SERIOUS texture, let me tell you. I can already tell I’m going to use it a lot. 

Let’s talk about that fun patterned paper! It’s part of the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper pack which can be earned for FREE with a $100 (US) order during Sale-A-Bration. It’s a huge pack of paper too! I can’t even count how many cards I have already made with it and I still have so much left. Sale-A-Bration runs from January 5, 2023 through February 28, 2023. You can earn free products for every $50 or $100 you spend. Items are while supplies last, so make sure to order early so you don’t miss out on the best selection.

January 2023 - Stamping Sunday Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends! Today, I’m super-excited to share the January 2023 Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. This hop is hosted by Sara Levin and we share on the second Sunday of every month. 

Our theme for the month is “Love Is...” where we are each sharing projects centered around a love theme. Welcome, I’m so happy you are here today! 
Today, I am sharing two cards with my favorite stamp set “of the moment” from the Stampin’ Up! January - April Mini Catalog. If you are a pet lover like me or just really like adorable images, the Love Cats stamp set is a must-have! I also paired this little kitty with the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper to create a super-cute Valentine’s Day card.

I had some scraps leftover from my card for the hop and decided to create a second project with another image in the Love Cats stamp set. That bitty blinged-out collar just makes me happy! I used a lot of the same elements from the first card with the addition of:
