ICS March Blog Hop Favorite Bundle

Welcome to the ICS March Blog Hop as we share projects created with our favorite bundles. You will be visiting with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you. 

It is hard for me to say what my favorite bundle is, because it is always changing and often depends on what type of card I want to create. I just recently ordered the Nothing's Better Than Bundle (item #154061) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and the crazy thing is that this bundle has been on my Wish List since I first saw the catalog, but I kept forgetting to order it. With this bundle, I loved the idea of creating a non-traditional Easter card, using the chocolate themed images. After all, we all enjoying eating chocolate during this holiday and I thought that this card would work well for my chocolate loving friends. I paired it with the retiring 2019-2021 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153071) and the Tasteful Labels Dies (item #152886) to create this clean and simple card design.

Piece for stamped and die cut images using the Nothing's Better Than Bundle

The images and dies in the Nothing's Better Than Bundle make this a fun and simple card to create. With just a few supplies, you can create a variety of designs with this layout that are sure to bring a smile to the people receiving them. I love the bold word die cuts, such as the Chocolate one I used for this card, and how it stands out as a focal point for the sentiment label. I stamped the coordinating sentiment images with Cinnamon Cider Classic ink. For the chocolate image, I stamped the outline with Early Espresso Classic ink and used the Cinnamon Cider Classic ink to stamp the solid image by stamping it off once to give it a lighter shade of brown. To embellish this card, I colored three of the small Basic Pearls with the Dark Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker to add to the card front and tied a small bow with Linen Thread and attached it to the top of the label with a Mini Glue Dot. I love this color combination of Rococo Rose with Early Espresso, Basic White and a touch of Cinnamon Cider. Sadly, Rococo Rose will be retiring soon, so if you love this color as much as I do, I recommend that your order it and the other retiring 2019-2021 In Color products soon before they sell out. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the wonderful possibilities that bundles offer when creating your projects. Remember, when you order products as a bundle, you save 10%.

Lately I have been taking a trip down memory lane, creating projects with some old favorites from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. Today I have created a sweet clean and simple Thank You card featuring the Special Someone stamp set (item #151643) combined with the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490).

The wonderful thing about this card layout is that you can create a variety of designs by changing the designer series paper background layer and images from the stamp set. I love that the stamp set has coordinating dies which fits the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. The two step stamp set makes it easy to color the images with the coordinating stamp image. The Whisper White Tulle Polka Dot Ribbon helps step up the design and I added Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped images for a touch of shimmer and sparkle. This card design is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day and let them know how much you appreciate them.

We Create March Blog Hop Cut It Out

March has arrived so let's celebrate with the We Create Cut It Out Blog Hop with our theme of using punches and die cuts to create our projects. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

Today I thought I would share a fun Birthday card created with the Zany Zebras stamp set (item #152536) combined with the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490). I loved the polka dot background of the designer series paper and it inspired me to use the stitched circles dies from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323) to create the focal image. For the sentiment, I used the Classic Label Punch to add contrast to the circles. 

Products Used:

Zany Zebras stamp set (item #152536)

Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490)

Playing With Patterns Resin Dots (item #152467)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Classic Label Punch (item #151491)

Coastal Cabana Cardstock (item #131297)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Calypso Coral Cardstock (item #122925)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Pad (item #147097)

Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pad (item #147087)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana Cardstock

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

Medium Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Coastal Cabana Cardstock

Small Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Label punched with Classic Label Punch

Basic White Cardstock

Inside Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Large Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Sentiment Label punched with Classic Label Punch

Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper

Card Front Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

This clean and simple card is so much fun and I love the way the circles add a geometric feel to the design. The stitched detail adds texture to the circles without being overwhelming and I chose Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral from the colors used in the designer series paper to add contrast to the design. The zebra images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiments were stamped with Coastal Cabana Classic ink to coordinate with the designer series paper. For the sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and then punched out another label from Calypso Coral cardstock and cut it in half. I attached it to the back of the sentiment label so that it created a frame to help the sentiment pop against the background. To embellish the card, I used the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots. I love how they resemble the polka dots in the background paper and help finish off the design. 

It was fun playing with products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and revisiting old favorites. If you are looking for wonderful products to create your projects, don't forget to explore this amazing catalog for a wide variety of options suitable for all occasions.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using punches and die cuts in your projects. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore.

Colour Combo November Blog Hop

 

It's time to explore the world of color with the Colour Combo November Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose to create our projects. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their amazing projects and ideas with you.

When I saw this month's color combination, I thought of Summer time and the beach. I decided to create this clean and simple card design using the Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the softness of the watercolor look with these colors and used the Clear Wink of Stella with ink to create a soft shimmer. 

Products Used:

Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Coastal Cabana cardstock (item #131297)

Daffodil Delight cardstock (item #119683)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Pad (item #147097)

Rococo Rose Classic Ink Pad (item #150080)

Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pad (item #147094)

Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154900)

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" 

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Daffodil Delight Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White cardstock for stamped images

This pretty card design is simple to create with just a few layers and a little fussy cutting. To create the background for the card design, I stamped the sand with Daffodil Delight Classic ink and added the seaweed on the right side with Coastal Cabana Classic ink.  I stamped the sea horse, sea shell and sand dollar onto Whisper White cardstock and water colored the images using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and the Classic Ink in Coastal Cabana for the sea horse, Rococo Rose for the sea shell and Daffodil Delight for the sand dollar. I fussy cut out the images and added them to the Whisper White cardstock layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment with Coastal Cabana Classic ink and added several Basic Rhinestones that I colored with the Dark Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Marker for a touch of bling.  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore this wonderful color combination to create your own projects.
