We Create Swing Into Spring Blog Hop

March has arrived, which means that Spring is just around the corner. Join me as we hop along with the We Create Swing Into Spring Blog Hop to see amazing projects to inspire you to create for the new season and shake off the Winter Blues. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas for Spring. 

 When I think of Spring, I think of tulips and I chose to use the Timeless Tulips Bundle (item #153793) from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog to create this pretty card. For my color combination, I chose Grapefruit Grove, a retiring In Color, and combined it with Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz. 

 To create this card design, I chose Grapefruit Grove cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Grapefruit Grove cardstock that I embossed using the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder (item #151797) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, to add texture to the background. 

The focal image was stamped on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock die cut with the largest die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638). I stamped the stems and leaves from the Timeless Tulips stamp set with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto the label, allowing room for the tulip flowers. I stamped the largest tulip image with Grapefruit Grove Classic ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out using the Tulip Builder Punch. I stamped the smaller tulip images onto the scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock with Daffodil Delight Classic ink and fussy cut them out with Paper Snips. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the largest tulip to the center stem and added the smaller tulips using Snail Adhesive to the other two stems. 

 To assemble the card, I added a piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim (item #149593) across the middle of the embossed Grapefruit Grove layer and attached the focal layer over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the embossed Grapefruit Grove layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the smallest die from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies and added it to a label die cut with the next largest die from Grapefruit Grove cardstock. I attached the sentiment label to the focal label over the stems and leaves at the bottom of the focal image, using Stampin' Dimensionals. To add a little bling, I added the small Basic Rhinestones to the focal label and the sentiment label. 

This pretty Spring card design would be suitable for a variety of occasions and could be created using different color combinations. Remember that the 2018-2020 In Colors will be retiring soon, so now is the best time to stock up on your favorite colors and products before they disappear. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to get excited about Spring and create your own projects to celebrate the new season. There are so many wonderful possibilities in the January-June Mini Catalog and 2019-2020 Annual Catalog to choose from.

GSF July Blog Hop In Colors

It's time to hop with the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) July Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to share the current In Colors with you. Today I chose to use the beautiful Rococo Rose from the new 2019-2021 In Colors. As you travel along our blog hop, you will be visiting blogs from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators all over the world as they share their wonderful ideas using these beautiful colors. I hope that it will inspire you to explore creating your own projects with these colors. 

 Once again, I have chosen the Daisy Lane Bundle (item #151118) to create my card design and I hope that my project ideas this week have helped you to see just how versatile this bundle really is. If you have missed any of my previous posts, please go back and check out the projects I have been sharing with this amazing new bundle. The Daisy Lane stamp set (item #149325) and coordinating Medium Daisy Punch (item #149517) make it simple to create fun projects and when you order the bundle, you save 10%.

 For today's card design, I chose to pair the beautiful Rococo Rose with Blushing Bride. I love how soft and pretty this color combination is. I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and I embossed it with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder (item #151797) to added wonderful texture to the background. 

Next, I added a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock measuring 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" to create the base for the focal layer. Using the Medium Daisy Punch, I punched out the daisy from the center of a 2 3/4" square of Rococo Rose cardstock to create a negative image. 

Using the Rococo Rose cardstock square as a guide, I added the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, so that it would line up below the cardstock square.

Now it's time to assemble the card. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the Rococo Rose cardstock square to the top of the Blushing Bride cardstock layer, lining it up so that there was and even border around the top and sides and the sentiment is below the bottom edge. 

 In the center of the negative daisy image, I added one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers (item #149442). I just love the fuzzy texture of this embellishment and it reminds me of how the center of a daisy looks. 

For the finishing touch, I took a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon (item #149704) and tied towards the end of the ribbon with a Piece of Linen Thread (item #104199). I then attached the Rococo Rose ribbon towards the bottom of the Blushing Bride cardstock layer. For the final step, I added the Blushing Bride cardstock layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope that my card design will provide you with ideas to help you create your own projects and have fun with these beautiful colors and see how they combine with Stampin' Up!'s core colors. This lovely card design was inspired by a card shared by fellow Canadian Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Allison Okamitsu. I CASEd her original card and made some changes to come up with my own personal design. Don't be afraid to be inspired by the designs and projects of others in helping you create your projects. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
