Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's February Monthly International Blog Highlights as we showcase Thank You cards to help inspire you. You will have the opportunity to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to spark your creativity.

Clean and simple cards are my favorite to create and I the new Sentimental Swirls stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, is perfect for this style of card. I paired it with the pretty Simply Marbleous 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the Sale-a-bration Rewards you can earn free with a qualifying $50 order. To create the design, I embossed the images and sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto the designer series paper. It creates a simply elegant design that is perfect for this Thank You card. This design would work beautifully with any of the colors in this designer series paper pack to create a wonderful set of cards.

Stamping With Friends Valentine's Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Valentine's Blog Hop as we share fun and creative ideas and projects to help inspire you. You will be visiting with our talented Design Team as they showcase Stampin' Up! products to help spark your creativity.

For my Valentine's card, I chose to use the beautiful Love & Happiness Bundle from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. I love the pretty embossing and coordinating dies in the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder and the Love & Happiness stamp set has a wonderful assortment of beautiful sentiments for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:

Love & Happiness Bundle (item #157642)

Blushing Bride Cardstock (item #131198z)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (item #158130)

Stampin' Seal Adhesive (item #152813)

Measurements:

Blushing Bride Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Heart Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" embossed and die cut with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder (item #157641)

Basic White Cardstock

Card Front -5 1/4" x 4" embossed and die cut with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder (item #157641)

Sentiment Label die cut with the Bouquet of Love Hybride Embossing Folder (Dies)

This clean and simple card design is easy to create and the combination of the embossed background and Gold embossing for the sentiment give it an elegant, romantic look. To create the card front, I embossed and die cut the Basic White cardstock layer with the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder to create the opening in the center. I repeated the same with the Blushing Bride cardstock layer so that the heart would fit inside the Basic White card front layer. Note: you can create a second card using the Blushing Bride cardstock layer as the card front and the Basic White embossed heart for the focal image. Using Clear Wink of Stella, I colored the raised embossed areas of the Blushing Bride Heart to add shimmer. I attached the card front and heart to the Blushing Bride card base with Stampin' Seal Adhesive so that they lay flat against the card base. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Love & Happiness stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the sentiment label and attached it to the center of embossed heart with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the design, I added Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front and sentiment label for a touch of bling. It is a very simple card to create but has wonderful detail to give it that Wow factor.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own wonderful Valentine's Day projects to give to family and friends.

Kre8tors January Blog Hop Free For All

It's time to welcome back the Kre8tors Blog hop after taking a break over the past year. The Design Team is eager to share their current projects with you all and to start us off, our theme this month is "Free For All". This is a great opportunity for us to share with you what we love to help inspire you to get creative for the New Year.

For my card design today, I have created a fun Valentine's card using the Nuts & Bolts stamp set. I just love these adorable robots and I think they are perfect for masculine cards. I paired it with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the background. This fun card design would work well for a birthday card or an anniversary card.

Products Used:

Nuts & Bolts stamp set (item #157650)

Oceanfront stamp set (item #157862)

Sweet Hearts Dies (item #157623)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad (item #147113)

Sentiment Label punched out with the Tailored Tag Punch

Smoky Slate Cardstock

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Two Hearts punched out with the plain heart from the Heart Punch Pack

Real Red Cardstock

6 small hearts die cut with the Sweet Hearts Dies

This cute card is simple to create with just a few easy steps. The embossed Smoky Slate adds texture to the background and I sponged it with Smoky Slate Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber to add a distressed look. I stamped the robot images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and then stamped over the images with the rectangle background image from the Oceanfront stamp set. I punched each robot out with the plain heart punch to create the focal images. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto the Basic Gray label I punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I attached the sentiment to the center of the embossed card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added the hearts to the bottom left and top right corners, also with Stampin' Dimensionals. to finish off the card design, I added six of the small Real Red cardstock hearts in groups of three to embellish the card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own wonderful cards and projects to give to family and friends. It's amazing the difference a handmade gift can make in someone's life.
