Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop Paper Piecing Technique

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to use the Paper Piecing technique. This fun technique is a great way to use up your scraps of designer series paper to step up your projects. Our talented Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to give this wonderful technique a try.

For my card design, I chose to create a clean and simple birthday card using the Circle Sayings Bundle and the Bright & Beautiful 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. I chose to paper piece the cupcake image using different designs from the designer series paper to create the colorful look of the cupcake. To step up the design, I heat embossed the images of the cupcake and the sentiment with Gold embossing powder. The die cut Gold stars added the perfect finishing touch for this pretty birthday card.

This really is a very simple birthday card to create and the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper helps create the wonderful colors in the focal cupcake image. I heat embossed the sentiment image with Gold embossing powder onto Basic White cardstock and then punched it out with the 2 3/8" Circle Punch. I stamped the cupcake image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut it out with Paper Snips. I then stamped the top of the cupcake on one design of designer series paper and the bottom of the cupcake on a different design and heat embossed them both with Gold embossing powder to help the images stand out. I then fussy cut both of the images and adhered them to the stamped cupcake image on the Basic White cardstock. I attached the cupcake to the center of the sentiment circle with Stampin' Dimensionals and adhered it to the center of the card front. To embellish the card front, I added several Gold stars of different sizes that I die cut using the Beautiful Balloons Dies. I love the texture and color that the designer series paper adds to this card design. Paper Piecing is a fun technique and a great alternative to traditionally coloring your images.

Stamping Inkspirations June Blog Hop Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations June Blog Hop and this month we have a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge. Our Design Team members will be choosing a row of 3 items (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) to incorporate into our projects. It's a fun way to spark creativity and try something new. Which row would you choose?

For my card today, I chose to use the bottom horizontal row - Red, Circle, Twine, to create my design. Stampin' Up1 has so many wonderful reds to choose from and in the end I chose to use Sweet Sorbet, one of the 2022-2024 In Colors. I love this bright, vibrant red and I decided to pair it with Basic White and Starry Sky (another 2022-2024 In Color) to create a patriotic themed birthday card that would be perfect for a July birthday.

To create this fun birthday card, I chose to use a sketch featured in the Demonstrator Planning Place Group, for my inspiration for this card design. I chose to use the Deckled Rectangles Dies for a twist on the standard rectangle shapes to create the frame for the focal design. I embossed the Starry Sky circle with the Splatters 3D Embossing Folder to add some texture and layered it with the Sweet Sorbet striped designer series paper to add contrast. The sentiment has been stamped with Sweet Sorbet Classic ink onto the sentiment label and then layered on top of the Starry Sky label. To step up the design, I added Silver Foil stars with Stampin' Dimensionals and I tied a bow with the Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine to go underneath the star on the left side of the sentiment. For a touch of bling, I added several Sweet Sorbel In Color Pearls to finish off the design. This bright and cheerful birthday card is a great way to celebrate someone's special day.
