Paper Pumpkin Possibilites June Blog Hop Pick Of The Crop

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities June Blog Hop and this month we are creating wonderful alternative project ideas with the Pick Of The Crop Kit. This beautiful kit is perfect for Summer themed projects and our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help you think outside the box. 

When I first saw the designs in this kit, I thought of our time living in Europe and our trips to Paris. My husband and I would often stop off at the local markets in the streets and pick up food for our midday meals, as we wandered the city, sightseeing. So I thought that this memory would be my inspiration for my alternative card design, using elements from the kit along with the Bottled Happiness Bundle. I love how they work together to create a wonderful Summer picnic themed card design.

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin Pick of the Crop Kit

Night of Navy Striped Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (scored at 4 1/4")

Sentiment Tag

Basic White Cardstock

Bottle stamped and punched with the Bottled Happiness Bundle

Bottle cork stamped with Bottled Happiness stamp set and fussy cut

Bottle label stamped with Bottled Happiness stamp set and fussy cut

Blueberries stamped with exclusive stamp set and fussy cut

The card base I chose, had a wonderful picnic blanket image printed on it, which made it the perfect background for my design. I stamped the bottle image with Soft Succulent Classic ink and punched it out with the coordinating Vintage Bottle Punch. I also stamped the cork and the label for the bottle with Crumb Cake Classic ink and stamped the sentiment on the label with Night of Navy Classic ink. In addition, I stamped two sets of the blueberries with Night of Navy Classic ink and colored them with a Blender Pen using the ink from the stamped images. I fussy cut out all the images ready to assemble the card design. I love the way all the stamped images worked with the cheese and lavender die cuts to create the feeling of a picnic. I popped the cheese up with Stampin' Dimensionals to create depth and dimension to the design. For the sentiment, I used the Calypso Coral ink spot from the kit to stamp the image onto the tag from the kit and tied a piece of the Linen Thread (included in the kit) through the hole of the label. I added the sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to help it stand out. I love how this card design turned out and that it was inspired by a wonderful memory from years ago.

Kre8tors June Blog Hop CASE Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Welcome to the Kre8tors June Blog Hop as we take part in the CASE Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge to help spark our creativity. You will have the opportunity to visit with our talented Design Team as they share their projects and ideas by choosing a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally from the Tic-Tac-Toe diagram. As you visit our blogs, I hope you will be inspired to choose your own combination to create your own wonderful project. 

For my card design, I chose to go diagonally with CASE 22-23 Annual Catalog, Use A New In Color and Add Something Metallic. The card sample I chose to CASE from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog can be found on page 119 and used the same designer series paper and layout for my design but changed the color combination and sentiment label for my card design. 

One of my favorite designer series papers in the new Annual Catalog, is the beautiful Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. The black and white designs are perfect for coloring with Stampin' Blends and I chose to use most of the new 2022-2024 In Colors to color in this beautiful design. For my metallic element, I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder and added a piece of Silver Metallic Trim from the Simply Elegant Trim. I love the clean and simple lines of this card layout and I think it showcases this pretty paper so well.

Products Used:

Art Gallery stamp set (item #154421)

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183)

Hydrangea Dies (item #154326)

Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper (item #159244)

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with the Hydrangea Dies

Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" Colored with Stampin' Blends Markers

This beautiful card has been brought to life using Stampin' Blends Markers. I love the vibrant colors, especially the new 2022-2024 In Colors. I love how these colors work together to create a fresh Summer garden design. I wanted the designer series paper to be the star of the show, so I chose to keep the sentiment label simple with a touch of elegance created by the Silver embossing. The small piece of Silver Trim finishes off the design. This card design would work well for a variety of occasions and you can change the look and feel of the design by changing the color combination. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to take part in this challenge to create your own wonderful project. There are so many wonderful possibilities to try and it really is a great starting point for your creative journey.

Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop Color Combination Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends June Blog Hop as we share projects featuring this month's Color Combination Challenge. Our Design Team members have been challenged to create a project using Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Mango Melody and Pacific Point to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone with these beautiful colors.

When I saw this color combination, it made think of one of my favorite bundles from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, Seas The Day Bundle, which is unfortunately retiring. The images in this bundle are perfect for creating a fun, colorful seaside themed card. I also used the Gentle Waves stamp set (also retiring) to create the background for my design and I just love the wonderful texture this stamped image adds to the card. This card design would be great for a Summer birthday and would work well for Father's Day (you still have one more day) card. 

Products Used:

Seas The Day Bundle (item #157858) - Retiring

Gentle Waves stamp set (item #157868) - Retiring

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183)

Pacific Point Cardstock (item #111350)

Tahitian Tide Cardstock (item #159261)

Mango Melody Cardstock (item #146989)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Pacific Point Classic Ink Pad (item #147098)

Tahitian Tide Classic Ink Pad (item #159210)

Sweet Sorbet Classic Ink Pad (item #159216)

Mango Melody Classic Ink Pad (item #147093)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Basics Embossing Powders (item #155554)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Tahitian Tide Cardstock 

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

Mango Melody Cardstock

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

Pacific Point Cardstock

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" die cut with the Seas Dies

Sentiment Circle die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Background Layer - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" stamped with the Gentle Waves stamp set

Octopus, crab and two fish stamped and die cut with the Seas The Day Bundle

This fun card design has lots of wonderful layers to add texture and dimension. I love the way the Tahitian Tide waves look in the background to create depth and movement. I stamped the octopus with Mango Melody and the crab and two fish with Sweet Sorbet before die cutting them with the coordinating dies. The detailed frame creates a wonderful scene for this design, I love how the seaweed and coral create an almost interactive background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the Pacific Point circle and added it to the center of the card design. I added the octopus and crab towards the bottom of the card design and the two fish with Stampin' Dimensionals so that they slightly overlap the sentiment label. To finish off the design, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to the center label for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore creating your own beautiful projects with these wonderful colors. Don't forget to check out the retiring products on the Last Chance List for the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, before they disappear. There are so many great options to choose from.

New At SU June Blog Hop Hues of Happiness Suite

 

Welcome to the New at SU June Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing Suites in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore the wonderful variety of suites that Stampin' Up! has to share. 

The Hues of Happiness Suite is perfect for creating beautifully detailed cards and I love the pretty colors in the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The Blossoming Happiness Dies coordinate with several of the flowers and leaves images from this paper pack to make it easy to create wonderful designs without having to fussy cut. For my card design, I chose to use Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia and Basic White along with the die cut flowers and leaves which included Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green.  I love the detail the dies created for the background and the notebook look of the focal image. This was a fun card to create and this design would work for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:

Hues of Happiness Suite (item #158828) which includes:

 Happiness Abounds Bundle (item #158824)

 Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (item #158822)

 Glossy Dots Assortment (item #158827)

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock (item #146987)

Fresh Freesia Cardstock (item #155613)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Gorgeous Grape Classic Ink Pad (item #147099)

Sweet Sorbet 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon (item #159200)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Mini Glue Dots (item #103683)

Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock

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

Matte Layer (4 1/2" x 3 1/4")

Fresh Freesia Cardstock 

Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" detail created with the Blossoming Happiness Dies

Basic White Cardstock

4 1/4" x 3" die cut the top edge with the Blossoming Happiness Dies 

Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper

Flowers and leaves die cut with the Blossoming Happiness Dies

With this pretty card design, the Blossoming Happiness Dies do all the hard work. I used them to create the detail for the Fresh Freesia cardstock background, the detailed edge for the Basic White cardstock layer and to die cut the individual flowers and leaves from the designer series paper. The only stamping required for this card is the sentiment on the Basic White cardstock layer, which is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I used Gorgeous Grape Classic ink to stamp it towards the top to allow room for the flowers and leaves towards the bottom right corner. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the largest flower and attached the remaining flowers and leaves so that they layer underneath. To embellish the card, I used three of the Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and two small pieces of the Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon that I frayed and attached underneath the large flower with Mini Glue Dots. I love the texture and sparkle that the ribbon adds to the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the Hues of Happiness Suite and create your own wonderful projects.

Inspire. Create. Share. June Blog Hop Meet The New 2022-2024 In Colors

Welcome to the ICS June Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing new 2022-2024 In Colors. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore these beautiful new colors when creating your own wonderful projects. 

The new In Colors work so well together, so I decided to create a card design that featured all five of them and showcase some of the coordinating products. This clean and simple birthday card features the 2022-2024 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Baker's Twine and Decorative Dots to create a bright and cheerful design. 

Products Used:

Celebrating You stamp set (item #158028)

Beautiful Shapes Dies (item #158046)

Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (item #154317)

2022-2024 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #159253)

2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine (item #159195)

2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots (item #159186)

Parakeet Party Cardstock (item #159259)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Parakeet Party 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" Embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder 

Sentiment Label die cut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies

2022-2024 In Colors Designer Series Paper

5 Strips (1 of each color, varying the patterns) - 1" x 3"

This fun card design is simple to create and works well for all ages. The strips of designer series paper really pop against the Basic White card front and I embossed the card front to add some texture to the design. I adhered each strip to the card base, beginning with the Starry Sky piece in the center, and added the other strips to create an uneven zigzag across the card front. I love how the different patterns add texture and variety to the card design. I wrapped a piece of Parakeet Party Baker's Twine twice around the center of the card front and tied a knot on the left side. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto the Basic White label and added three of the small Parakeet Party Matte Decorative Dots for a touch of bling. I added the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, over the Parakeet Party Baker's Twine. This fun card is a great design to mass produce and have on hand in your card stash. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to experiment with these wonderful new colors and help you to step outside your comfort zone to create your own beautiful projects.
