Welcome to the Stampin Friends June Blog Hop!

We will be hopping on the third Thursday every month, with a different theme to inspire you each time :)

The theme for June is...there is no theme - so you will see lots of varied ideas from us this month :)

If you just arrived from Christine's Blog, thank you for continuing with the hop!

You can continue on the blog hop from here in a loop by clicking on the Next button below.
​

This month we are excited to have awesome Guest Hoppers that you should definitely check out!

So, when you have a whole new catalog and a Stamp Room full of product - where DO YOU start?

I decided to go to a stamp set I have been avoiding since I received it in April at OnStage: Marquee Messages.

I had a few ideas when I saw the set, but they had not gotten to paper yet.
​
So - time to get those stamps inky and use some scraps of the Pop of Pink Designer Paper I had left from mycruise swaps.

Firstly, some 3"x3" notecards, and then a little baggie to pop them into.

This bag is called a box-bag. The base size is 4" x 2" and you can find directions to make one HERE in any size you want!

Do you see the handles?
​For those I used a thinlit from the Flourish set - yes it is half the size....here are a few photographs to show you how to cut a thinlit or framelit larger than it actually is.
Next I made a framed project. That arrow with the holes in it is just crying out for lights don't you think? I used small battery operated strip lights from Amazon and glued them behind each hole that I had punched with a hand punch.

As usual your project and cards are so creative. Thanks for the tip on the handles (framelet thinlets). I have a nephew and a granddaughter who always say they are awesome so I'm going to try the frame with the lights for each of them. Heading to amazon to look for the lights. Love your ideas and thanks for so much inspiration.

#SFJuneHop Kristeen, I love all your work but I really love this project. For a stamp set you were avoiding, you did a great job with it.
And I love that you put lights in your frame. My husband got me the light kit from Amazon for my birthday recently so I am excited to make a card with them. I thought I would use the Pun Intended stamp set with the light kit. Wish me luck. lol
