3D Paper Trimmer February Blog Hop Fun Fold Card

Welcome to the 3D Paper Trimmer February Blog Hop as we showcase Fun Fold card ideas to help inspire you. This blog hop features talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects.

It's hard to believe that today is the last day of Sale-a-bration. These past two months have gone by so quickly and I realized that I hadn't shared a project created with the beautiful Berry Blessings Bundle (item #157613), which is a Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order (US$100). The combination of the beautiful Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper with the wonderful images and sentiments in the Berry Blessings stamp set are perfect for creating pretty projects for a variety of occasions. I love the simplicity of this Fun Fold card design and the way it showcases this bundle. It is easy to mail and fits in a regular medium size envelope.

This Fun Fold is simple to create and is easy to assemble with just a few supplies. I stamped the back Basic White cardstock layer and the inside card flap layer with the stamp images and sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set. I used Rich Razzleberry Classic ink for the sentiment and the outline image for the berries and used the 2nd Generation technique (stamping on a scrap piece once and then stamping onto the lined image to obtain a lighter color) to fill in the berries. I used Granny Apple Green Classic ink to stamp the stems for the berries. I then embossed the back layer of Basic White cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder to add subtle texture. I attached the stamped layer inside the card flap and added the designer series paper layer to the front of the card flap. For the front sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Rich Razzleberry Classic ink onto the Stitched Circle die cut and layered it onto the Silver Foil Circle die cut. To embellish the sentiment, I colored three of the small Basic Pearls with the Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the bottom of the sentiment circle label. I decided not to add any ribbon or other embellishments but instead opted for the clean and simple look. This card design would work well with any of other beautiful designs in this designer series paper pack.

Ink. Stamp. Share. February Monthly Blog Hop Fancy Fold Cards

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. February Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase wonderful Fancy Fold cards to help inspire you. I hope you will take the time to hop along and visit the amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are participating in our blog hop as they share their ideas and projects to help spark your creative spirit.

Fancy Fold cards are a wonderful way to make the people you care about feel extra special. For my Fancy Fold card, I chose to create a Gate Fold card and I stepped it up by using the pretty Flowers For Every Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152486) combined with Gold Foil and Gold Embossing for an elegant touch. I am not normally a yellow person, but I just love this gorgeous designer series paper and wanted it to be the showcase for this card.

Products Used:

Jar Of Flowers stamp set (item #152515)

Peaceful Moments stamp set (item #151595)

Flowers For Every Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

(item #152486)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Thick Basic White Cardstock (item #159229)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Bumblebee Cardstock (item #153077)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Bumblebee 1/4" Ribbon (item #153622)

Measurements:

Basic White Thick Cardstock

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8")

Basic White Cardstock

Inside Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Oval die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Bumblebee Cardstock

Inside Layer - 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

Flowers For Every Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

2 Pieces - 5 1/4" x 1 7/8"

Gold Foil

Scalloped Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

This pretty Gate Fold card is simple to create and fits inside a regular medium sized envelope. The Bumblebee designer series paper really pops against the Basic White cardstock and I love how the Gold Foil frames the sentiment label. The Gold Embossing for the sentiment label and on the inside layer of the card adds a touch of elegance to the card. I used the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and I added the floral image from the Jar Of Flowers stamp set to the sentiment label and the inside of the card to coordinate with the designer series paper. The used a piece of the Bumblebee ribbon to keep the card closed and tied a bow next to the sentiment label as a decorative touch. This pretty Spring themed card would work for a variety of occasions.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my fancy fold card design inspires you to explore creating your own beautiful cards. There are so many wonderful possibilities to try.

PPP February Blog Hop Bouquet Of Hope

It's time to hop along with the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities (aka PPP) February Blog Hop as we share alternative projects featuring the Bouquet of Hope Kit. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas to help you think outside the box with this beautiful Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Today I have two different card designs to share with you. One uses products from the kit, including the floral image and sentiments from the exclusive stamp set while the other combines one of the designs from the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (item #155223) with the Healing Hugs stamp set (item #148223) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. This beautiful paper is a Level 1 Reward you can earn Free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration, which ends February 28th. It coordinates beautifully with this kit and offers a variety of designs to choose from.

Products Used:

Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (item #155223)

Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward

Healing Hugs stamp set (item #148223)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Just Jade Cardstock (item #153079)

Merry Merlot Cardstock (item #146979)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Measurements:

Card 1

Sentiment Label from kit

Small Floral die cut from kit

Card 2

Just Jade Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Flower & Field Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Large Floral die cut from kit

Sentiment Label from kit

Both of these cards are simple to create and I added heat embossing to both to step up the designs. For the first card, I heat embossed the floral image from the stamp set with Gold Embossing Powder onto a piece of Merry Merlot cardstock and die cut it with the Layering Ovals Dies. I attached it to the Gold Foil doily from the kit and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the label with Gold Embossing Powder and added it across the bottom of the oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the card I added one of the small floral die cuts to the sentiment label and two of the small Black sequins. For the second card, I used a piece of Just Jade cardstock for the card base and added a layer of the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper for the card front. I added the large floral die cut from the kit to the top of the card front, at an angle, using Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I used one of the images from the Healing Hugs stamp set, heat embossing it with Gold Embossing Powder onto the sentiment label from the kit. I added the Mossy Meadow Bakers twine to the back of the sentiment label, creating two big loops. I added it to the card front towards the bottom with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added three of the Black sequins for a touch of bling. I love that the designer series paper gives this card design a more cheerful feel that is perfect for a Get Well card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card designs will help inspire you to explore creating your own alternative projects using this wonderful kit. These beautiful cards can be used for a variety of occasions to help brighten someone's day.

Colour Combo February Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo February Blog Hop as we share creative projects using Flirty Flamingo, Pacific Point and Soft Sea Foam. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

For my card design, I chose to use the Sale-a-bration stamp set, A Touch Of Ink, which is a Level 2 Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. I just love the images in this stamp set and it has beautiful sentiments that make it perfect for creating wonderful cards. It's also a great stamp set for coloring and I used both the Stampin' Blends Markers and Classic ink with a Blender Pen to color the images.

Products Used:

A Touch Of Ink stamp set (item #155233)

Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward

Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Layering Squares Dies (item #151772)

Pacific Point Cardstock (item #111350)

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock (item #146988)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Pacific Point Classic Ink Pad (item #147098)

Flirty Flamingo Classic Ink Pad (item #147052)

Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink Pad (item #147102)

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (item #132708)

Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154884)

Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154902)

Blender Pens (item #102845)

Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Pearl Jewels (item #144219)

Measurements:

Pacific Point Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4")

Scalloped Square die cut with the Layering Squares Dies

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock

Card Front Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock

Stitched Square die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies

Sentiment Label die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Small piece for stamped butterfly from the A Touch Of Ink stamp set, fussy cut

This card used the outline images for the flowers, leaves and the butterfly to create the card design. I stamped the background of the Soft Sea Foam cardstock with the leaves image using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink for a tone on tone look. For the square, I stamped the flowers and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Markers and then stamped the small dots image with Soft Sea Foam Classic ink to create a soft background. I layered the Basic White square onto the scalloped Pacific Point square to create a small border. For the butterfly image, I stamped it onto Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Pacific Point Classic ink and Flirty Flamingo Classic ink with a Blender Pen. I chose this method of coloring as there is no Pacific Point Stampin' Blends Markers and I wanted to try and create the same intensity of color by layering the ink with the Blender Pen. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Pacific Point Classic ink onto a Basic White label die cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I added two small Basic Pearls that I colored with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker, for a touch of bling. Using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I colored over the flowers, leaves and the butterfly image to add a soft shimmer. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add the sentiment label and the butterfly to the card front, with the butterfly's legs overlapping on top of the sentiment label.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore this wonderful color combination when creating your own beautiful projects.
