Ink. Stamp. Share. May Monthly Blog Hop Something New

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. June Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase something new to inspire you with your creative projects. With the release of the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog earlier this month, there are so many wonderful new products to explore. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help spark your creativity. 
With Spring in the air, I am really enjoying the pretty color combinations in the new Pattern Party 12"x12" Designer Series Paper, which is a Host Reward you can earn Free with a qualifying party. This wonderful rainbow stripe design is so cheerful and I thought it was perfect to pair with the new Count On Me stamp set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I love the sweet images and wonderful sentiments in this stamp set. There are so many great ways to combine these products to create a variety of card designs.

This clean and simple card design is easy to assemble and you can create different designs by changing the designer series paper for the background as well as the images and sentiments in the stamp set. For this design, I chose the cute pair of koalas and stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White label and colored the images with Smoky Slate Stampin' Combo Pack. To add highlights to the ears and stomach, I used the Color Lifter to soften the color. For the sentiment, I used Pool Party Classic ink to stamp the image onto die cut label. I attached the focal image and sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This card design is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day.

3D Paper Trimmer May Blog Hop Welcome New 2021-2022 Annual Catalog

Welcome to the 3D Paper Trimmer May Blog Hop as we showcase projects created using products from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.
As you know, I love clean and simple designs, so today I thought I would share a simple fun fold card featuring two of the new 2021-2023 In Colors from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I am not normally a pink girl, but I must admit, I have been won over by the beautiful Polished Pink and it pairs wonderfully with Soft Succulent, especially for floral designs. I chose to use the Color & Contour Bundle for this card design. I love the artistic images in this stamp set and the scalloped rectangle dies were perfect for the layers of this fun fold. 
Products Used:
Color & Contour Bundle (item #158356) New
2021-2023 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper 
(item #155641) New
Polished Pink Cardstock (item #155710) New
Basic White Cardstock (item #155710) 
Polished Pink Classic Ink Pad (item #155712) New
Soft Succulent Classic Ink Pad (item #155778) New
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (item #132708)
Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #155521) New
Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon (item #155780) New
Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)
Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)
Measurements:
Polished Pink Cardstock
Card Base - 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" (scored at 5 1/2") 
Focal Layer - 2 3/4" x 4 1/4"
Basic White Cardstock
Focal Layer die cut with Scalloped Contour Dies
Inside Layer die cut with Scalloped Contour Dies
2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper - Polished Pink
Front Panel - 2 1/2" x 4"
This fun fold card design is easy to create and is suitable for a variety of occasions. To create the fun fold, you simply need half a sheet of cardstock (4 1/4" x 11") and you cut it at 8 1/4" which leaves you with a piece that is 2 3/4" x 4 1/4", which works perfectly for the focal layer of this card. The designer series paper panel has a wonderful tone on tone design that works well with the floral theme of this card. I stamped the background of the Basic White focal scalloped rectangle die cut with the spots background image using Soft Succulent Classic ink. On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut it with the coordinating die. I colored the flower with the coordinating stamp with Polished Pink Classic ink and the leaves were colored with the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Marker. I attached the flower to the scalloped rectangle die with Stampin' Dimensionals and attached the focal panel to the Polished Pink cardstock panel. I tied a piece of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the left side of the panel and added Basic Rhinestones to the focal design for a touch of bling. For the inside panel, I attached the large scalloped die cut to the inside of the card. To complete the card design, I attached the focal panel to the front of the card, attaching it with Stampin' Dimensionals on the left side of the focal panel so that the card can still open. I made sure to line it up so that it was centered over the inside panel to provide a pretty scalloped frame. I chose not to add a sentiment for this card, but you could add a sentiment to the front panel as well as the inside of the card if you wished. 
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my fun fold card design will help inspire you to explore the wonderful products in the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. There are so many possibilities to explore and the new In Colors are so much fun to play with.

Colour Combo May Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo May Blog Hop as we explore this month's color combination of Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Shaded Spruce. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects using this month's combination to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone.
This month's color combination was a challenge for me and the card design I created was outside my comfort zone. I chose to use the new Artistically Inked Bundle from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to create a pretty floral design using the images and dies from this bundle. I love the watercolor look of the stamp images and I was surprised at how well these colors came together. 
Products Used:
Artistically Inked Bundle (item #155456) New
Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)
Flirty Flamingo Cardstock (item #141416)
Shaded Spruce Cardstock (item #146981)
Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)
Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)
Flirty Flamingo Classic Ink Pad (item #147052)
Magenta Madness Classic Ink Pad (item #153117)
Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)
Versamark Pad (item #102283)
Metallic Embossing Powders (Copper, Gold, Silver - item #155555)
Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220) 
Measurements:
Flirty Flamingo Cardstock 
Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4")
Basic White Cardstock 
Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"
Sentiment Circle die cut with the Layering Circles Dies
Piece for stamped and die cut flowers using the Artistically Inked Bundle
Shaded Spruce Cardstock
Piece for detailed die cut using the Artistically Inked Bundle
Gold Foil
Scalloped Circle die cut with the Layering Circles Dies
The stamps in the Artistically Inked stamp set are simply amazing and have so much detail and wonderful texture. I love that this bundle includes dies that die cut the stamped images as well as provide detailed die cuts like the one I used to create the background design for my floral arrangement. It helped me with placement for the flowers and I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to add dimension and layers to the design. I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder to coordinate with the Gold Foil, which helped step up the design. The Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling to the card and I used Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers for a touch of shimmer to complete the design. The stamped background has a wonderful watercolor feel to it, without all the hard work. I love how this card turned out and I am looking forward to using this bundle with other color combinations to create new designs. 
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own unique projects with this color combination. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore with the products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

Ink. Stamp. Share. May Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. May Showcase Blog Hop as we share projects we are currently working on using current projects from Stampin' Up! You will be visiting with wonderful Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.
With the launch of a new catalog, it's so much fun to be able to play with new products and I just love the new Badger Besties (item #156930) stamp set. The images are so cute and I love the versatility of the sentiments in this set. I paired it with the wonderful new Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper (item #155426) that is an exclusive Host Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order or party. This amazing paper pack contains 48 sheets of 12"x12" Designer Series Paper with 4 each of 12 double sided designs. One side is predominantly black and white while the reverse side has wonderful color combinations. It is definitely my pick from this new Annual Catalog.

1/2" strip for sentiment using the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch at each end
This cute clean and simple card is easy to assemble and the cute badger is easy to color. I used the Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Combo with the Light Basic Black Stampin' Blends Marker to color the body of the badger and used the Color Lifter to create highlights and blend. For the flower I used the Light Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend and I used the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend for the leaf. Using the Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends Marker, I colored the bottom of the circle to create the ground and blended it with the Color Lifter. For the Rhinestones, I colored them with the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends Marker and added one to the center of the flower and the other two to decorate the sentiment for a touch of bling. The sentiment was stamped onto a 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch on each end for a decorative touch. I really do love this stamp set and with all the wonderful designs in the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper, I think that I will be having a lot of fun creating many more cards with these products. 
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card will help to inspire you to create your own fun designs with the new products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. There are so many options to choose from.
