Hey there! It's Stampers Dozen Blog Hop day! Welcome to the April installment of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop, ConGraduation, Congratualtions!

You may have just come from Stella MacKay's blog, Stellar Stamps.com. If you did, you saw Stella's awesome creation! If not, you can start here and follow the blog around to all 12 blogs this month, ending with Stella and then back to me! Just follow the link at the end of this post and you will be on your way!

My project today follows the ConGraduation, Congratualations theme with the Pure Gumption stamp set from page 52 of the Annual Catalog:

Stampin_up_pure_gumption_1 - Copy

I created the kite by punching one straight pennant from the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and one triangle from the triangle punch from Silver Glimmer Paper. I added narrow strips of Basic Black cardstock for the struts of the kite, White Baker's Twine for the kite string, and tiny Silver Glimmer hearts punched with the Owl Builder Punch.

Stampin_up_pure_gumption_2 - Copy

I used my custom-made cloud embossing plate for the clouds. You can see how to make your own cloud plate HERE. I sponged my clouds with Soft Sky ink.

The greeting is from Pure Gumption, stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink and cut out with a Word Bubbles Framelit.

Inside is stamped very straighforward with more stamps from the same set. Pure Gumption is a one-stop stamp set for graduation/congratulations!

Stampin’ Up! Fiji Swaps! Best of Butterflies & Pure Gumption!

Stampin’ Up! Fiji Swaps! Best of Butterflies & Pure Gumption!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Bula! (I just can't seem to stop myself from using this Fijiian greeting, I heard it from everyone I met in Fiji! I also noticed that men tended to emphasize the first part of the greeting more, pronouncing it "BOO-lah" with a very heavy sound, and the women pronounced it much more lightly – "bu-LAH")

Anyway, I have THREE fun swaps to show you from the swap boards in Fiji. Because they were attached to the board I have no idea who the creators are, but they are very fine swaps!

Note: all products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise stated.

First, an ingeniously folded grad-cap card using the stamp set, Pure Gumption and Parker's Patterns Designer Paper!

Pure gumption

Next two swaps using the 25th Anniversary Collection stamp set, Best of Flowers!

This one is clean-and-simple, just the way a sympathy card should be:

Best of flowers 1

This one has some color popped with a Sponge Dauber and some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter added with a 2-way Glue Pen. The largest Apothecary Accents Framelit was used to both frame the focal image and to cut the Basic Black mat behind it. The Lacy Brocade-embossed layer has been sponged with some Frost White Shimmer Paint!

Best of flowers 2

That's all for now! I'm off today to see Liam! I haven't given him a hug in over a week! I'm dying to see him! Then this evening I will be attending Maddie Kate's end-of-school choir concert! Yay!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
