Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for January 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are showcasing projects using Stampin’ Up! products featuring a theme from any of the following: Valentine’s Day; Thinking of You; Get Well; or Sympathy. We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

 

I decided to make Valentine’s Day the focus of my project and used the Going Global stamp set to make a card for my husband.   The luscious Perfectly Artistic  DSP is one of the FREE items you can choose from the Sale-a-bration Catalog when you purchase $50 in Stampin’ Up! products.

I love how the blue swirls of this design looks like water.  After embossing the DSP with the World Traveler Embossing Folder, I dragged my Smoky Slate Ink Pad across the paper to add definition.

Jan 2016 Blog Hop Basic Gray

Corners of my 2 X 2-12/” cardstock were punched with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch.

 

Sentiment stamped and cut out with Deco Label Framelit is on top of the Basic Gray mat.

If you are like me, you don’t use Foil paper as a full mat – it’s just too pretty to hide.  I’ve been ‘hoarding’ my foil paper for just that reason.  See my solution below.

Jan 2016 Blog Hop Silver Foil Frame

I cut out the inside of my Silver Foil mat using my Stampin’ Trimmer. That gave me a 3-1/4″ X 4-14″ piece of foil to use on another project.
