Global Stamping Friends March Blog Hop Time Marches On

It's time to hop along with the Global Stamping Friends March Blog Hop and this month our theme is "Time Marches On". As Spring approaches there are so many wonderful events to celebrate which means so many new projects to create. Our small but mighty Design Team will be sharing their wonderful projects to help get you in the spirit to create your own wonderful projects to celebrate the new season.

For my card, I decided to create a fun St Patrick's Day themed design. I love being able to play with the different greens that Stampin' Up! has to offer and for this design I chose to use Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green. St Patrick's Day is very popular here in Colorado and we have a parade and celebrations to celebrate the day when everyone is Irish. I decided to incorporate the celebration with the traditional shamrock design to create a fun, clean and simple design.

Products Used:

Circle Sayings Bundle (item #161355)

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183)

Bee Builder Punch (item #162553)

Label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies cut in half

Shaded Spruce Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

I chose to use the Circle Sayings Bundle for the sentiments for the focal design and sentiment label. I used the coordinating 2 3/8" Circle Punch from the bundle to punch out the stamped Celebrate circle and layered it onto a Shaded Spruce circle I die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To create the shamrock in the center, I punched out 4 of the small hearts from Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Bee Builder Punch and arranged them in the center of the circle. I used the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker to draw in the stem. For the sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock using Shaded Spruce Classic ink and die cut it out with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I framed it with the Granny Apple Green Label cut in half and attached to the ends on the back of the sentiment label. I attached the designer series paper card front to the card base and then added the focal image and sentiment to the card front to create the design. To complete the card, I added several of the Tinsel Gems Four Pack to add a touch of bling. The Pretty Peacock gems are a close match to the Shaded Spruce and help finish off the design. I love how fun and fresh this card design looks and I think it's a great way to help brighten someone's day.

Inspire. Create. Share. February Blog Hop It's A Love Thing

Let's celebrate Valentine's Day with the Inspire. Create. Share February Blog Hop as we showcase the theme, It's a Love Thing. There are so many occasions throughout the year to show some love to the people in our lives. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects to send to the people you care about.

My card design today is one that could be sent out any time of the year as a way to send some love to someone special. I paired the beautiful Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle to create a lovely clean and simple card design. I blended some soft color onto the designer series paper layer to create an ombre effect, using Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve Classic ink pads. I love the subtle gold accents that help step up the design without being to over the top.

To create this pretty card design, I added some Bubble Bath Classic ink to the designer series paper layer using a Blending Brush, blending from the top down to the center. Once I had the color intensity I was looking for, I blended Moody Mauve Classic ink with another Blending Brush, moving from the bottom up to the center, blending the two colors together in the middle to create the ombre look. I gently wiped the designer series paper to remove any ink on the Gold embossed hearts. For the sentiment label, I heat embossed the sentiment with Gold embossing powder onto Basic White cardstock and punched out the sentiment with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I took a piece of Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon and gently frayed both ends, leaving a section in the middle to apply adhesive to add it to the center of the card front. I added the sentiment label over the top of the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added several Moody Mauve hearts punched out with the Bee Builder Punch. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls to coordinate with the rest of the card design. I love how pretty this card looks and how simple it was to create.

Stamping Inkspirations February Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations February Blog Hop and this month we have a Color Challenge. We have been challenged to use 3-5 of the following colors: Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam, Real Red and Pretty Peacock, to create our project. Our Design Team will be sharing their ideas and projects to help inspire you to try this color challenge.

For my design, I was able to use all five colors to create my card. I wanted to create a bright and cheerful design that would be perfect for Valentine's Day. I chose to use the Bee My Valentine Bundle to create my focal design and paired it with the Perennial Postage Dies to add a little extra detail. This is the first time I have used Lemon Lolly and I must admit, I was surprised at how bright this color is. I chose to use one of the designs from the Subtles 6"x 6" Designer Series Paper for the background to add some subtle texture.

Products Used:

Bee My Valentine Bundle (item #162554)

Perennial Postage Dies (item #162607)

Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (item #161644)

Misty Moonlight Cardstock (item #153081)

Lemon Lolly Cardstock (item #161720)

Real Red Cardstock (item #102482)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Vellum Cardstock (item #101856)

Pretty Peacock Classic Ink Pad (item #150083)

Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink Pad (item #147102)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Festive Pearls (item #159963)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Misty Moonlight Cardstock

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

Mat Layer - 2 1/4" x 3"

Basic White Cardstock

Focal Layer die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies

Bee antenna stamped and punched out with the Bee My Valentine Bundle

Lemon Lolly Cardstock

Bee body stamped and punched out with the Bee My Valentine Bundle

Vellum Cardstock

2 Wings stamped and punched out with the Bee My Valentine Bundle

Real Red Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies

2 small hearts punched out with the Bee Builder Punch

Lemon Lolly Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

For this card, I chose to create a clean and simple design with the focus being the cute little bee. I just love the Bee My Valentine Bundle and how versatile the Bee Builder Punch is. Rather than stamp the body with Lemon Lolly Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock, I chose to use Lemon Lolly cardstock and stamp the stripes and detail with Memento Tuxedo Black ink to make it pop. For the wings, I stamped them onto Vellum cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched them out with the large heart from the punch to get the wing shape. For the antenna, I stamped the image onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and used the small heart on the punch to punch it out. I then attached the antenna and wings to the back of the bee body.

For the focal layer, I die cut the Basic White cardstock layer using the Perennial Postage Dies to add some detail to the panel. I stamped the flight trail, I stamped it at an angle with Memento ink and created the flower on the right side of the panel using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink for the stem and Pretty Peacock Classic ink stamped off once to stamp the flower. I layered the focal panel onto a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock to coordinate with the card base and provide some contrast against the Lemon Lolly Designer Series Paper background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder onto Real Red cardstock and die cut it with one of the dies from the Perennial Postage Dies and attached it to the bottom right corner of the panel. I also added two small Real Red hearts that I punched out using the Bee Builder Punch and added one to the body of the bee and the other just below the sentiment. For a touch of bling, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls. Isn't this just the cutest card design? I love how it turned out and how well these colors worked together to create this design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope this cute card design will help spark your creativity and encourage you to give this color challenge a try. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore.
