Paper Pumpkin Possibilities May Blog Hop Celebrating In Color

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities May Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas using the Celebrating In Color Kit. Our talented Design Team members will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to think outside of the box to help you create your own fun alternative projects.

For my card design, I decided to use one of the elements left over from creating the cards in the kit, along with the exclusive stamp set, to create this clean and simple thank you card. For the sentiment, I used the Hello Beautiful Bundle with its modern, geometric feel. This design would work well for a masculine card for a variety of occasions.

Orchid Oasis Print Circle from Celebrating In Colors Kit

This fun clean and simple card design is easy to assemble and a great way to use left over supplies from the kit. I used Gold embossing powder to decorate the background of the Basic White cardstock using the small dots stamp from the stamp set from the kit. Using a piece of of the Gold metallic twine from the Simple Elegant Trim, I wrapped it around the card front twice and tied a knot on the right side. I arranged the circles on the card front, adding the large Orchid Oasis circle with Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit over the twine and adhering the two smaller circles with Stampin' Seal. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder to coordinate with the other gold accents, and die cut it with one of the dies from the Hello Beautiful Bundle. I added the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals to the card front so that it overlaps the bottom two circles. To finish off the design, I added one each of the Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide Dots from the kit. I love this color combination and how the Gold accents step up this card design.

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop 2022-2023 Annual Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we celebrate the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to showcase the products in this amazing new catalog.

There are so many wonderful new products in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog that it was hard to choose which ones to share with you today. In the end, I decided to share what I consider to be some hidden gems that I hope you will love as much as I do.

For my card design, I chose to create a Get Well card that would be perfect for the computer geek in your life. The Tech Support stamp set has so many wonderful sentiments and images that work for a variety of occasions and I just couldn't resist the virus pun. I paired this stamp set with one of my favorite new Die sets, the Stylish Shapes Dies. In just the short time that I have had these dies, I have used them for so many projects and they are quickly becoming my new every day favorite. For the designer series paper background, I used one of the designs from the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper and I just love the wide variety of designs and colors that work for both masculine and feminine projects. This paper pack contains 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs and is available only as a Host Reward.

I love combining new products with old favorites and I couldn't resist the connection between the new Tech Support stamp set and the Nuts & Bolts stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. The images and sentiments work so well together and give me so many additional creative options. I heat embossed the images and sentiments onto the Smoky Slate circles with Black embossing powder and then colored the hearts with the Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Marker and the body of the robot with Light Orchid Oasis and Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends Markers to bring him to life. The layering of the different colors of cardstock really helps make the circles pop against the designer series background and I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up layers on the smaller circles to add dimension. I wanted to keep the embellishments simple and chose the Matte Black Dots to finish off the card design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore the products in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog to create your own beautiful projects. There are so many wonderful options to choose from.

It's so exciting to get to play with these beautiful new In Colors and I challenged myself to create a project using all 5 of these wonderful, vibrant colors. For this card, I chose to use the new Sweet Songbird Bundle, which is so cute and perfect for these fun colors. The windows were created using the Picture This Dies and I embossed the card front using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture to the design. I love how the 2022-2024 In Colors, especially with the stamped images using the Classic Stampin' Pads.

Scrap cardstock for birds and nest stamped with images from the Sweet Songbird stamp set

This card design is great for celebrating special occasions and I love the variety of sentiments available in the Sweet Songbirds stamp set. I loved creating the cute birds using Tahitian Tide for the main body and then stamping off once with Sweet Sorbet to color the belly of the birds. The beaks were colored with the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend Marker to help them pop. I used Soft Suede ink to stamp the branches and the nest and used the Party Parakeet ink for the leaves. For the flowers, I used Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis inks to add some color to the background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto an Orchid Oasis sentiment label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I love that this label fit perfectly inside the center window of the card design. For a touch of bling, I added small Iridescent Rhinestones to the center so the flowers for a bit of sparkle. To add some dimension, I popped up the card front layer with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and centered it onto the stamped Basic White layer. This cute card design is so cheerful and is sure to brighten someone's day.

One of my favorite things about a new catalog is the pretty new designer series paper. For today's card, I decided to create my card with one of the designs from the Tea Boutique 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, to create a beautiful clean and simple card design. I paired it with the Nature's Prints Bundle, which has wonderful sentiments for a variety of occasions and great coordinating dies to make life easier. This card design has a wonderful Spring feel to it and with just a little embellishing, is easy to create.

I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder to take the card design to the next level and added a piece of Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon beneath the sentiment label to help it stand out against the background.

Stamping Inkspirations May Blog Hop Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations May Blog Hop and this month we have a Sketch Challenge to share with you. Our talented Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas using the sketch below to help inspire you to get creative.

I love creating clean and simple card designs, so this card sketch fits well with my style of card making. For the background, I chose one of the designs from the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper and used the Scalloped Contours Dies to create the layers for the focal image. I love how Navy and White look together and how the Night of Navy cardstock helps make the card design pop. Heat embossing is one of my favorite techniques, so I used it to emboss the leaf image from the Nature's Prints stamp set and the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set. I chose to create a Thank You card but you could use this design for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:

Nature's Prints stamp set (item #158793) New

Celebrating You stamp set (item #158028)

Scalloped Contours Dies (item #155560)

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183) New

Heart & Home Designer Series Paper (item #157928)

Night of Navy Cardstock (item #100867)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Basics Embossing Powders (item #155554)

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (item #144108)

Measurements:

Night of Navy Cardstock

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

Medium & Small Scalloped rectangles die cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies

Sentiment Label die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Rectangle Layer - 3 3/16" x 1 7/8"

Heart & Home Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

This clean and simple card design is all about the layers. The combination of Night of Navy and Basic White cardstock adds a simply Wow factor to this design with the multiple layers. I just love the beautiful design in the designer series paper for the background and the texture it adds to the card front. The White embossing for the focal image and sentiment tie in with the color combination to finish off the design. I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the sentiment and the middle layer of the focal image to add dimension to the design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful cards using this sketch. Sketches are a great way to spark your creativity by providing you with a road map to help you get started.
