Tour de Freaks – Dec 2017

Welcome to the December Tour de Freaks Blog Hop!  This month our theme is NEW STUFF – Occasions Mini or Sale-a-bration things.

If you are going forward through the hop, you arrived here from my friend Connie Babbert’s Inkspired Treasures blog.  Went her things wonderful?

One of the first things that caught my eye was in the SAB brochure and was the Celebrate You thinlets that you can get with a $100 order.  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!  I decided for my projects to pair these up with the Painted with LOVE Specialty dsp.  This is what I came up with.

Here’s the details…

  • Calypso Coral – 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded
  • Rich Razzleberry- 3 3/4 x 5, add to card front on an angle
  • Whisper White – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8 add to card front
  • Gold Foil – punch out four 3/4″ circles, add to card front
  • Calypso Coral – cut out celebrate and add to card front
  • Melon Mambo – cut out YOU and add to card front
  • Rich Razzleberry – cut out amazing and add to card front
  • Painted with Love dsp – punch out two small balloons, add using dimensionals, use journaling pen to add ‘strings’ to the balloon.

  • Painted with Love dsp – 2 x 4 1/4, add to card front
  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 4 1/2, cut bottom on an angle, add to card front using dimensionals
