Paper Adventures Blog Hop

Hello everyone, I was honored to be asked again to participate as a guest designer in the Paper Adventure team blog hop - thank you Kelly!



This time the theme is "Hostess Sets" which are on pages 220-223 of the annual catalogue. These sets can only be ordered with stampin' rewards which are the incentives you earn with any order over $250. You don't need to host a party to get this awesome deal, you can either place a $250 order yourself or gather a few orders from friends and pool them together.

It was an easy choice for me, I picked In the City (143771) This is a photopolymer set with a whopping 60 stamps! There are so many options in this set for a huge variety of occasions.

I have been playing around with this set making little scenes with the houses and buildings and then adding the cars and trees! But what I wanted to try was the sample card in the annual catalogue (page 222). I was drawn to the simplicity of it and I love the grey with a pop of colour. I also needed a card for my Dad for his birthday so this card was the outcome.



Because the stamps are photopolymer they are super easy to see where to place them but I still found the best way to stamp the row of houses was the put them all on a clear block together and stamp. It was a little less fiddly and less room for error!

The fireworks are super fun, I stamped them in basic black and then coloured them with my watercolor pencils and added a rhinestone. I also added colour to the houses for a bit of interest.



You can just see on the final photo that I stamped a row of orange cars inside for an added little bit of interest.
