Happy Saturday Ladies!
The SU Stars are having a blog hop this weekend. It runs from Saturday through Sunday so I will not have a new post tomorrow to allow people time to do the blog hop.
Our theme for the hop is Ebony and Ivory. We had to use one of the combinations below and could add a pop of color.
Basic Black and Very Vanilla
Basic Black and Whisper White
Basic Gray and Whisper White
Now that you have the background let’s get on to my project.
If you want to start at the beginning of the hop you can go to our blog, SU stars. If you get lost along the way you can also go the blog to see the order. You should have arrived here from Stacy Coombs blog, Stampin Stace. I am sure she had a wonderful creation to share with you. For my share I decided to do a card box and a set of cards. I used Basic Black and Very Vanilla and I added Pink Pirouette as my pop of color to a few of the cards. I wanted to use a stamp set for all of the projects to show how you can use 1 set to create a project that goes together. I went through the catalog and decided on Delicate Doilies and Hello Doily as the sets I would use for all my cards.
I began by making my box. I used a basic box and used the Adorning Accents Edgelit Dies and Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to create the bottom flap of my box. I added a Pink Pirouette doily and a ribbon and bow to finish the front. Here is the box closed.

So are you ready for some Blog Candy? Leave me a comment and tell me which card is your favorite. I will send you a few of my cards I have made for my blog.
I hope you enjoyed my little Ebony and Ivory project. Now it is time to continue on the hope. Your next stop is Raissa Spatola at Raissa Stamps. I am sure she will have a great creation for you to see!
Oh by the way, I will be rooting for the Baltimore Ravens to win on Sunday! I sure hope they get to go to the Super Bowl this year! Thanks for looking and have a Super Saturday and Sensational Sunday!

I have a really difficult time when someone asks me which card is the best. ALL of the cards are fantastic. If someone had a gun to head I could pick Number 2 but it would be hard.. Great job.

Hey Robbie! Looks like you had fun with the challenge. They are all great cards, Thanks for sharing!
All I can say is "WOW!" This is a fabulous project. I love all those card and the box is awesome!
loved the first and last…liked the touch of pink
My favorite card…. it is a tie! I love the simplicity of both #1 and the last card. Thanks for sharing, and I'm off hopping:)
Love all the cards and the box! Since I have to pick one as a favorite though I'm picking the last card.
Thanks for sharing!

This is so gorgeous Robbie. A beautiful box and a beautiful selection of cards. I just love the pink with the black and white. Totally Totally Fabulous.
Wow, Robbie, these are ALL so awesome I can't easily pick a favorite…I love the pink so I guess I'll go with #3, but it's very hard to choose just one!
Everything is very pretty as usual. I LOVE that black & white box!
I like the one with the doily on it. They are all very beautiful. Great job.
Robbie,
Love your cards!
Wow – they all are beautiful! My favorite stamp sets!! I like # 4 the best and the box is to die for! Great job.
I love the second card. Matter of fact, I just cased the idea. Thanks for sharing
I love the second one!
Love them all, but if I have to pick it is a toss up between cards #2 & #3. Loved the box! TFS!

I have these doilly sets and never used them but you've given me the incentive to break open the cases! I love all your cards and if I had to choose..ummm OK #1!

How oh how to decide my favorite. I don't think I can. I can narrow it down to the last two cards. The third card is shockingly stunning while the last card is pretty and soothing. Wonderful details for the insides and the envelopes. I like the coordination that you did. WoW! Thanks!
I love card #3! Now I have to use my stamp!! Thank you for all the inspiration you've given us! TFS!

It is really hard to pick, but I guess I love #3 best. It is so simple, but beautiful! And then I like #2 and …
Thanks for sharing,

#3 really appeals to me- and the box….!!!! Thanks for sharing some neat cards!
I love the second and the last card but I really love how you used just part of the edgelet on the front, so striking!
