Silver To Silver Elite June Blog Hop Welcome The New and Cherish The Old

Welcome to the Silver to Silver Elite Journey To Silver Elite June Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators with a common goal to support each other as we build our businesses. Our theme this month is "Welcome the New and Cherish The Old" and we have been challenged to use a product from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, a carryover product from the previous catalog and a new color, to create our projects.

My favorite kind of cards are clean and simple designs. They are easy to create but can still have that look of elegance to make it extra special. For my card design today, I chose to use the new Pansy Patch stamp set for my sentiment and I heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder to step it up. I paired it with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, a staple die set for me, which I am happy to say has carried over from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The shapes of the dies are wonderful for framing sentiments of all sizes. I chose the beautiful Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color as my new color and I love how it coordinates with Rich Razzleberry from the Regals Collection. I embossed the Fresh Freesia cardstock layer with the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to give add texture to the background. The floral detail is stunning and turns a simple design into a simply Wow card.

This beautiful card layout works well for a variety of occasions and by changing the colors, you can personalize it to suit the person receiving it. The dry embossed background adds subtle texture while the silver embossing for the sentiment adds a touch of elegance. The sparkle of Basic Rhinestone Jewels completes this clean and simple design. I love being able to combine my well loved Stampin' Up! supplies with the new products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. It's a great way to add variety to my projects without breaking my budget.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore combining the new products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog with your existing supplies. It's a great way to add a new creative twist to your projects.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop Expressions In Color

Welcome to the June Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas using the Expressions In Color Kit. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to think outside the box.

The backgrounds in the Expressions In Color Kit are beautiful and I wanted to convert the smaller note card into a full size card design. I love the way that the new Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen In Colors look together, so I chose to create a full size card with Soft Succulent cardstock and I cut the Evening Evergreen note card base in half along the fold line to create the matte for the pretty background layer. Most of the supplies I used for this card came from the Expressions In Color kit and I added Gold embossing powder for the stamped flower images to help step up the design. 

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin June Expressions In Color Kit

Soft Succulent Cardstock (item #155776)

Metallics Embossing Powders 

(Copper, Gold, Silver - item #155555) New

Sponge Daubers (item #133773)

Measurements:

Soft Succulent Cardstock 

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

Evening Evergreen Note Card Card Base (from Kit)

Cut in half - 5" x 3 1/2"

Green Alcohol Ink Design Layer (from Kit)

This beautiful card design is a wonderful way to step up the note card in this kit to a full size card. For the focal layer, I stamped the floral image twice with Versamark ink and heat embossed the images with Gold embossing powder. To help the sentiment stand out against the decorative background, I used a Sponge Dauber and gently sponged Evening Evergreen Classic ink (from the ink spot in the kit) onto the back of the "Thanks" vellum sentiment. I attached the sentiment in the center of the decorative layer with the Mini Glue Dots from the kit. Using the Evening Evergreen Baker's Twine, I wrapped it around the bottom of the layer twice and tied a knot on the left side. I attached the layer to the Evening Evergreen layer and then attached it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added three of the sequins to the card front to finish it off. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore new possibilities with the June Paper Pumpkin kit. This kit coordinates with the wonderful Expressions In Ink Suite in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to help provide you with more wonderful options to use with this kit.

3D Paper Trimmer June Blog Hop Box It Up

Welcome to the 3D Paper Trimmer June Blog Hop with our theme "Box It Up".  You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own fun 3D projects. 

Today I decided to create a fun treat box to celebrate the upcoming 4th of July holiday. As we start to get back to a more normal way of life, I thought it would be fun to share these with family and friends. To create the focal star, I actually used the Christmas Trimmings Dies from the Tidings & Trimmings Bundle, using Misty Moonlight and Basic White cardstock and for the background, I used a piece of Real Red Designer Series Paper from the Regals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. I love the way it gives the look of a picnic blanket and really helps to make the star pop. This cute treat box idea is from fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Angie Juda, and you can find the directions to create this box here on You Tube. 

Products Used:

Christmas Trimmings Dies (item #155561) New

Nothing's Better Than stamp set (item #152507)

Tailor Made Tags Dies (item #155563) New

Regals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #155227) New

Misty Moonlight Cardstock (item #153081)

Real Red Cardstock (item #102482)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555) New

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight

Treat Box - 6 1/4" x 8" (Box size 4 1/4" x 3" x 3/4")

Large Star Die cut with Christmas Trimmings Dies

Sentiment Tag die cut with Tailor Made Tags Dies

Real Red Designer Series Paper

Background Layer - 4" x 2 3/4" 

Basic White Cardstock

Detailed Star die cut with Christmas Trimmings Dies

One small star die cut with Christmas Trimmings Dies

Real Red Cardstock 

Two small stars die cut with Christmas Trimmings Dies

This box is easy to assemble by following the directions in the video and the opening flap at the top of the box provides a great way to fill this treat box with wonderful goodies. I love this color combination and it fits perfectly with the July 4th Independence Day holiday. I layered the detailed Basic White star on top of the large Misty Moonlight star to add detail and contrast and I love the way it pops against the Real Red designer series paper background. I used the smaller stars to embellish the tag and heat embossed the sentiment from the Nothing's Better Than stamp set with Silver embossing powder. For a touch of bling, I added Basic Rhinestones to finish off the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my treat box will help inspire you to create your own fun 3D projects to share with family and friends. They are a great way to brighten someone's day.

Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop Retiring January-June 2021 Mini Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop as we showcase retiring products from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you and spark your creativity. 

I love butterflies. For me, they are a sign of hope and I love creating cards using them to help brighten up someone's day. The Floating & Fluttering Bundle has wonderful images and coordinating dies and I love all the amazing possibilities this bundle has to offer. For today's card design, I paired this retiring bundle with the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I love the texture of the embossed background and the pretty scallops on the sentiment label. This soft and pretty card design works well for a variety of occasions and I used just one of the beautiful sentiments from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, which is also retiring, to complete this lovely card.

Products Used:

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Piece for stamped and die cut images using the Floating & Fluttering Bundle

This clean and simple card features heat embossing to help step up the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold Embossing Powder for an elegant look. I heat embossed the stamped butterfly collage image with Black Embossing Powder to give the images a glossy look that helps make the colors pop. I colored the butterflies with Highland Heather, Balmy Blue and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Markers and I colored the leaves with Just Jade Stampin' Blends Markers. I snipped the images apart after die cutting so that each image was separate. The background was embossed with the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder and I love the wonderful texture it gives to the card design. To assemble the card, I added the card front to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals and added the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to provide depth. I arranged the butterflies and leaves around the edges of the sentiment label, attaching the leaves underneath the label and the butterflies to the top of the label. To finish off the design, I added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This card design would work well for a birthday card or even a Sympathy card. By changing the colors, you can create a card with a whole new look and feel. I love how these products combine together to help provide so many wonderful options. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to take another look at the amazing products in the retiring January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. These products are only available until June 30th or while supplies last. Place your order soon to avoid missing out on your favorites.
