Welcome to the Creatin' With Kirsteen stop on the April Stampin Friends Blog Hop!

​The theme this month is 'Birthdays and Celebrations'.


Weren't Maureen's projects awesome? You can navigate back to her blog, or forward to Melissa's using the links at the bottom of the page (you are at Kirsteen Gill) Just click on the previous or next name to hop forward or back.

We do have a guest blogger this month - and you won't want to miss  Jen Cerizo's projects.

As you may know I have not been in my stamp room for a whilee and my new catalog pre-order has been sitting in the dining room since it arrived. I had a few friends over yesterday and they helped me break in to the box. At once in I fell in love with the Delightful Daisy Designer Paper and so I decided to use it and revisit a bag design I have been using for several project lately....ooops - did I tell you I also LOVE the new Daisy punch? When I saw it in the new catalog I did think 'What? ANOTHER flower punch?' but boy I am loving it and think it will be a frequent shape on my projects soon! Sorry for the differing tones in the photos below - the one on an angle was taken into the sun - once it's a certain time in my room I can't escape the sunshine - until the sun goes behind the next house - then it's dark! :)

Then I used the bag as inspiration for my card....usually I work the other way around - but making the bag - a design I am used to, helped inspire me for the card design.

I cut 3 of the new Happy Birthday Thinlit - then glued them together with Night of Navy on the bottom then Daffodil Delight then Whisper White on top. To glue the layers together I dabbed glue all over the back of the Daffodil Delight and Whisper White, then smooshed the excess off onto scrap grid paper, then it's easy to line up with the layer below with a little bit of wiggle room before it sets - no messing with sponges which I know has become a popular way of gluing these fine thinlit designs. Then to attach it to the card I wanted a little height - so I took glue dots and rolled them into a 'boogers' then put them on the back of the thinlit :) Here are a few photos to help....
The Daffodil Delight ribbon is the 1/4" Double Stitched ribbon - I had it on the card but I felt the cross stitch was too busy - so I removed it...at the end of the piece you cut, loosen the ends of the white thread. Then pull one end and the ribbon will ruffle up - keep pulling and the thread will eventually pull out. Repeat this for the other piece of thread. Here are a few photos to help you.....
I hope you enjoyed your stop here and found some inspiration! You can hop on along to Melissa's blog by clicking on her name below. (you are at Kirsteen Gill)

Beautiful set! I love the daisies! Can't wait to get my hands on the paper and punch. Loving the gold accents on your little gift bag. The 3 layers of your wording really gives a great 3D affect. I have never tried pulling that white thread out of the ribbon, Great tip!
