Kennedy Grace Creations Grand Opening Blog Hop


Hello Crafty Friends! Wow it has been a long time in coming but today is our official GRAND OPENING!  We are so excited for today!! We have been planning this for a very long time and can't wait to show you.  We have lined up some of the MOST AMAZING talented ladies in the crafting world on our hop today!  We hope you will enjoy all the amazing projects they will be sharing!

Our Newest release is now available in the Kennedy Grace Creations Online Store.

What I created for the hop is this beauty of a card. I did reverse stamping with three distress ink pads using one of the floral images from the new Loving Mom stamp set. Then I turned around the image right-side out and gold embossed. I added some gold splatters and embellished with the new Red Sangria Sequins & Iced Berries sequins (previously released). The Celebrating You sentiment is from the same Loving Mom stamp set and fits the overall celebratory feel of this Grand Opening:

Watch the video below (or on my YouTube Channel):


These are the new May Release products that I used on this card:
Red Sangria Sequins
Loving Mom Stamp Set
