One of my daughters has a birthday coming up and her gift from us is tickets to a musical and a night away in Melbourne so I decided a loaded envelope would be a super special way of packaging her gift, as well as adding a couple of extra little birthday treats. The Friendly Hello DSP was my colour combo inspiration and as my daughter has asked to have an Ice Cream Parlour themed party, I decided to carry the theme across to her gift by using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Builder Punch.
Next up it was time to package up some birthday treats and since my daughters favourite treat is mint chocolate a chocolate block wrapper was a must have. The Pale Papaya Ombre Gift Bags coordinated beautifully with the Friendly Hello DSP and I've added some texture with the Hive 3D Embossing folder.
Top tip for creating the background; after you have adding some blending, splatters and stamping, emboss with the Hive 3D Embossing folder and then run the cardstock back through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine between to pieces of paper to "soften" the emboss effect.
Next up in the hop is Janneke Dijkstra-de Jong. I can't wait to see what stunning creation she has come up with for us.

Happy Friday and happy Christmas Eve everyone. Thankfully I've managed to get everything organised for Christmas this year and myself and my family are having a super chilled Christmas Eve, which has allowed me to have a little craft time.
This weeks TGIF Challenges theme is masking. There are various masking methods but the method I used today is to post-it notes to mask stamped images.
I love using this technique to create backgrounds and cards with minimal layers. To create this particular card I've used the brand new Dahlia Days stamp set from upcoming Stampin' Up! 2022 Jan-June Mini Catalogue. I really love this set so keep your eye out for more dahlia projects.
For more masking inspiration pop over to the TGIF Challenges blog, to see what the rest of the team have created and if you are inspired by the theme please share with us.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season.
