SSInkspiration Convention Swap Blog Hop!

#TBT Time!

Welcome to this month's SSInkspiration Blog Hop!Some of us were fortunate enough to attend Stampin' Up!'s 2014 Inspire, Create, Share convention back in July. (sadly, I was not)BUT!  I was able to share in this super fun swap that we all did with stamp sets from the 2014/2015 Idea Book & Catalog.

As you hop along, please be sure to comment and show some love on every blog! We are always excited to hear from our followers! You should have just left stop number 1 on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Blog Hop - Darcy J, of DJ's Stampin' Place If so, you are in the right spot. If a link doesn't work or you get off track, you will find the full blog hop lineup below.

Here is my swap card!

Now wait a second Donna....you already showed us this card...
hmmmmm....check out the original post here.

Well then I suppose I better show you another version to shake things up!

Okay, So I'm not gonna lie....I really like this version better!

This DSP is TO DIE FOR!!  and the silver foil stars from the July My Paper Pumpkin kit just hit the spot! (you could use whatever shape you wanted and punch them out of our silver foil sheets too!!)   This would be a great New Year's Eve invitation, or a black tie party invite.  So sassy, yet classy!

 This Smoky Slate ribbon is so yummy!  has a little silver threading at the edges to give it some jazz, but its so soft and easy to work with.


Not to mention it has the same "brushed nickel" look to it that is SO Chic and 'IN' right now!   The silver foil stars just add that splash of bling without being over the top.  Can I just tell you how in love I am with silver and black!?!  YES PLEASE!!  (oooooh....and I just thought about how awesome this would be in gold for a 50th wedding party?!....better run to the craft room and WRITE THAT DOWN!)

Thanks for stopping in!  Be sure to head on over to Cynthia's page next...she has a SUPER card to show you!
