Fancy Friday Blog Hop Top 5 New Picks

Welcome back to the Fancy Friday Blog Hop!
My fancy friends and I are back!!! We loved working with each other so much that we decided to continue on with an all new blog hop to inspire you in fun new ways! These are a group of past and current Artisans that have become fast friends thru the Artisan journey. Glad to have you here! We have 11 of us this month so don't miss a one!
 
Each month on the last Friday, we will bring to you new challenges of all kinds (color, sketch, stamp focus, etc)! This month we were select our TOP FIVE products from the NEW Stampin' UP! catalog and use at least one of them in a project. This was a super hard task to just pick 5 but here are the ones that I was most excited about when I saw them. In random order...

#1 LOTS OF LOVE STAMP SET
I adore the large font and all of the images that coordinate with 
the Whole Lot of Lovely Suite on page 86-87.
#2 GINGHAM RIBBON
I have been waiting for gingham ribbon to make a comeback over the past few years. It comes in Smoky Slate (shown) and Night of Navy.
#3 POLKA DOT BASICS TEXTURED IMPRESSIONS EMBOSSING FOLDER
You had me at dots. I really like this smaller version size.
#4 FOIL FRENZY SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER
Bright, shiny, fun, patterns like the dots, and if you turn it over, you have good ole Kraft for layering (the plain Kraft cardstock retired)
#5 HAPPY BIRTHDAY THINLITS DIE
Super large fun font and when mixed with the NEW Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set from the Foil Frenzy Suite on page 76-77, it is a win win for easy and simple birthday cards.

And with this last one comes my project for this month....
I took that Happy Birthday and the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp set but made a more masculine birthday card. I paired it with the NEW Wood Texture Designer Series Paper Stack and the same color combo you can find on page 158-159.

Would love to have you join us in the Fancy Friday Challenge so make a card with your top 5 list and let us know in the comments if you did or post on social media somewhere and add the #FANCYFRIDAYBLOGHOP

I am always looking for masculine ideas and love, love this one! The wood DSP is such a great pick for our guys! I am thrilled to be hopping with you all.

Great man card. Love the use of the DSP - just enough!

Great card. It is so much fun to see what everyone's favorites are...especially a soon-to-be concept artist at Stampin' Up! ;)

I like this masculine card so much. They seem more difficult to design than most other occasions. This is fun and do-able!
