Kylie Bertucci's August Monthly International Blog Highlights

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's August Monthly International Blog Highlights as we share projects and ideas with the theme "Thank You". Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world are taking part in this wonderful blog hop and I hope you will take the time to visit their blogs and be inspired by their amazing projects.

My card design today features the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper to create a masculine Thank You card design. At first glance, you wouldn't think that this designer series paper would be an obvious choice for this style of card. As I looked through the various patterns, I came across a geometric pattern in shades of gray that I thought would be perfect. I paired it with the Stylish Shapes Dies and Nested Essentials Dies to continue the geometric design for my card and used neutral colors for my color palette. I used Copper embossing powder to help step up the design and I love the finished design.

6 Squares die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies

To create this card design, I die cut six squares using the second smallest square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I arranged them so that the patterns were pointing in random directions to create more interest and then adhered them to the Basic Black card front, leaving a space down the center. I added a piece of Copper Clay Textured Ribbon across the center of the card front to add a pop of color. The sentiment was created by heat embossing the image with Copper embossing powder onto the Basic Black label. I love the shape created using the Nested Essentials Dies and the sentiment from the Layering Leaves stamp set fit perfectly. I added the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, over the Copper Clay Ribbon. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I adhered the card front to the Basic Gray card base to add dimension to the design. To complete the design, I added several Copper Clay Dots to the card front.
