New At SU February Blog Hop Sale-a-bration

It's time to hop along with the New At SU February Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing products in the 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their beautiful projects to help inspire you.

Sentiment stamp sets are often overlooked but to me they are one of the staples of collection. The Approaching Perfection stamp set (item #155282) has wonderful birthday sentiments that provide a little humor, especially as we get a little older. I love that these sentiments work for both masculine and feminine cards and I decided to create a masculine birthday card using this stamp set with the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #155222). Both of these products are Level 1 Sale-a-bration Rewards that can be earned for free with a qualifying order, but only during Sale-a-bration. I hope that my card design will help you to see both of these products in a new way and showcase how versatile they really are.

At first glance, the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper seems more suited to feminine cards but if you take a look at the patterns on some of the papers, you will be surprised to find they work very well for masculine designs. The pattern I chose has a geometric almost abstract feel to it and I love the combination of blue tones. I chose to use Night Of Navy cardstock for the card base as well as for the sentiment label and accent strips. The Silver embossing really pops against the dark blue background and I love the humor in the sentiment from the Approaching Perfection stamp set. The Silver Foil buttons have wonderful detail and make a beautiful accent to the card design without being to sparkly. The stitched detail on the sentiment label ties in well with the stitched details of the strips that I used to decorate the card front. For the inside of the card design, I stamped the sentiment with Night of Navy Classic ink onto the Basic White cardstock layer and I stamped the candles image along the bottom using Seaside Spray and Night of Navy Classic inks, alternating them to create a pattern. To finish off the design, I stamped the bow tie image from the Handsomely Suited stamp set with Night of Navy, just about the Happy Birthday sentiment. This clean and simple card makes a wonderful masculine birthday card, especially if you have forgotten someone's special day.

This card design is a great layout for a variety of occasions and you can transform the look of the card by using any of the other beautiful designs in the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper pack and swapping the sentiment for something that suits the occasion.

GSF February Blog Hop Garden Inspiration

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) February Blog Hop as we share projects with the theme "Garden Inspiration". You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas.

Today I decided to create a pretty Spring card to help chase away the cold Winter day outside here in Colorado. When I think of Spring, I think of pretty flowers starting to bloom, soft pastel colors and the return of butterflies. This was my inspiration for my card design and I chose to used the Floating & Fluttering Bundle (item #156239) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and paired it with the beautiful Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #155222), which is a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set, which is also a product you can earn free during Sale-a-bration. I love how these products coordinate together to create a soft and pretty birthday card.

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (item #144108)

Measurements:

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

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock

- Sentiment label stamped and die cut with the Floating & Fluttering Bundle

Gold Foil Sheet

- large butterfly die cut with the Fluttering Dies

- 2 small butterflies die cut with the Butterfly Beauty Dies

This clean and simple card is easy to create and I love how the Gold embossing and Gold Foil die cut butterflies step up the design. I stamped the label outline from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set with Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock and I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in the center of the label and die cut it with the coordinating Fluttering Dies. I attached the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the large Gold Foil Butterfly to the top right corner of the sentiment label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so that it overlaps the corner. I added the two small butterfly die cuts below the bottom left corner of the sentiment label to balance out the design. For a touch of bling, I added one of the large and two of the small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the large die cut butterfly to finish off the card design. For me, this card design reflects my favorite things about a Spring garden and I love that I can send it to someone to help brighten their day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the wonderful products in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog to create your own beautiful projects.

Around The World On Wednesday January Blog Hop Favorite Inspiration

It's time to start the New Year off with the Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop and this month our theme is our Favorite Inspiration. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas that reflect their sources of creative inspiration.

I am often inspired by the things I see around me every day. It can be a scene I see outside or colors of clothing in a store. Sometimes it is the pattern in a fabric, such as the mask I got for Christmas recently. It was this particular source of inspiration that I chose to use today to create my card design. As soon as I saw the pattern on my mask, I immediately connected it with one of the designs in the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (item #155223), which is one of the Level 1 Rewards that you can earn for Free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration. As you can see in the photo above, they coordinate beautifully.

The colors in the designer series paper are remarkably similar to the colors in the design of my mask, and I used these colors to create my card design. I chose to use Basic Black, Granny Apple Green and White with a touch of Daffodil Delight and Gold as accents. I love the way the Granny Apple Green brings out the colors in the designer series paper and how it pops against the Basic Black background. I used the Medium Daisy Punch to create the embellishment to tie in with the background and I colored the center of the daisy with Pool Party Classic Ink so that it looked similar to the background daisies. The center of the daisy was created using a flower die cut with the Hippo & Friends Dies from Daffodil Delight cardstock. I applied the color to the daisy using a Sponge Dauber to give it a soft hint of blue. For a touch of shimmer, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the petals and the center of the daisy.

This beautiful clean and simple card is perfect for a variety of occasions. I chose to create a birthday card using the Approaching Perfection stamp set (item #155282) which is also a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. I love the fun sentiments in this stamp set and I chose to heat emboss the sentiment with Gold Embossing Powder for a touch of elegance. I decided not to add any bling or ribbon but instead let the designer series paper be the star of this design. I love that the inspiration I got from my mask, led me to create this simply beautiful card that I can send to brighten someone's day.
