Welcome to our Remarkably Created Blog Hop. This is National Craft Month and today we are celebrating Easter.

One of my favorite Embossing folders is the Basket embossing folder from the Blossoming Basket Bundle ( 147505) in the Stampin’ Up’s Sale-A-Bration’s 2nd edition catalog for this year. Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st, so now is the time to do your last minute shopping.

I punched a hole in Very Vanilla cardstock (101650) using the large Layering Label framelit (141706). Then I added some definition to the Basket  embossing folder by using a brayer (141714) to lay down some crumb cake stamping ink (126975) to the inside of the embossing folder on the side that has the Stampin’ Up logo on the bottom of the folder. I then run the Very Vanilla cardstock through the Big Shot die cutting machine (143623).

Next I ran the cross from the Cross of Hope Framelit Dies ( 145654) through the Big Shot. I stamped the cross with a Versamark ink pad (102283), covered it with Gold embossing power (109129) and used the heat tool (129053) to make it shine.

Using Versamark again, I stamped the Hold on to Hope (145780)  sentiment on to a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. Using the heating tool I heat it until it became shiny. Then I stamped the little butterfly on each side of the sentient using Elegant Eggplant ink (126969). Next I glued the sentiment to the bottom of the card,

I stamped the floral branch from the Hold on to hope stamp set to Whisper White cardstock  (100730) using the Garden Green stamp pad (126973). I ran the branch through the Big Shot.  I glued the cross in the layering oval and placed the floral branches on each side of the cross using Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430).

I made a card base from Crumb cake cardstock (120953) and glued the Very Vanilla cardstock to the Crumb Cake card base. And there you have it!

I hope you enjoyed my blog. I enjoyed doing it. Look at some other blogs from the names in the list below:
