Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights June 2023

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for June as we share our cards inspired by this month's theme of "Thank You". Talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world are sharing their beautiful projects to help inspire you and encourage you to get creative.
I love using designer series paper to create thank you cards, so today I thought I would showcase the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper for my card design. The design I chose coordinates with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder, which I used to emboss the paper to add texture to the card design. It is possible, with a little patience, to line up the design on the paper with the design on the embossing folder for extra effect. For the sentiment, I used one of my favorite new bundles, Timeless Arrangements, to add some detail and texture to the card front while still allowing the background design to show through.

Blue is my favorite color, so I had a lot of fun creating this card design using some of my favorite blues included in the designer series paper. I matted the embossed card front with a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock to create a frame against the Night of Navy card base. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the Thank You image with White embossing powder onto the Misty Moonlight label and then added the two detailed floral elements to the back of the sentiment label. To create a frame for the sentiment, I die cut a slightly larger label and two detailed floral die cuts from Night of Navy cardstock and added the detailed die cuts to the back of the label. Using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, I added the Misty Moonlight sentiment label to the center of the Night of Navy label and then added it to the center of the embossed card front. For a touch of bling, I added some small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to finish off the design. I love how delicate and pretty this card looks and how the blues work together to bring out the detail in the designer series paper.

  2. The white embossed greeting really pops out on the darker label which is nice against the DSP.
