Ink. Stamp. Share. April Floral Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. April Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to create a project with a floral theme. Stampin' Up! has so many beautiful floral products, that it was hard to choose which one I would use for my card design today.

I decided to use my favorite Designer Series Paper from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog as my focal design. The Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (item #146913) has so many beautiful photo realistic designs to choose from and I am sad that it is retiring. This beautiful paper is only available while supplies last, so if you love it as much as I do, I recommend that you order it before it sells out.

The card base was created using the Gold Foil Edged Cards & Envelopes to add a classic elegance to the card design. I attached a piece of the floral designer series paper to the card front with Snail Adhesive so that it lay flat against the card front.

To create the sentiment, I chose the All That You Are stamp set (item #148664) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog and used the Thank You sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White cardstock and heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder. I punched it out using the Pretty Label Punch (item #143715) and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To embellish the card front, I die cut several of the small butterfly dies from the Butterfly Beauty Dies (item #148536) from Gold Foil and attached them to the card front. I added several small Basic Rhinestones to the butterflies and the sentiment label for a touch of bling to finish off the card design. This clean and simple card design is a beautiful example of how you can create wonderful card designs with a few coordinating supplies.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you have enjoyed my card design and that it gives you ideas for your own projects using Stampin' Up!'s beautiful designer series paper and other amazing products. If you live in the U.S. and you do not already have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you with your crafting needs.

Colour Combo December Blog Hop

Welcome to the December Colour Combo Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry and Gray Granite together to create a project. Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world will be sharing their ideas and creations on this blog hop to inspire you to experiment with this color combination to create your own projects. You may have just visited Tracy's blog or perhaps you are starting your journey here with me. I hope that our projects will open up a new world of possibilities for you to try.

One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to get new catalog products early, before they are released to the public. Today I will be sharing a new stamp set and new thinlets dies set from the 2019 Occasions Catalog to create a fun clean and simple card design.

The main focal point of this card design has been created using a sentiment from the new stamp set, Amazing Life, which I stamped using Gray Granite Classic ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I colored the banner of the image with Crushed Curry Classic ink and Blender Pen and then I colored the word "Happy" with Rich Razzleberry Classic ink and a Blender Pen. I added Clear Wink of Stella for a touch of shimmer to the sentiment. To add some texture, I embossed the Whisper White cardstock layer with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

The Butterfly die cuts were created using two of the new thinlets dies from the Butterfly Beauty Thinlets dies. I cut the sold image from Rich Razzleberry cardstock and the detailed outline from Crushed Curry cardstock and layered them on top of each other. I colored several Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the body of each butterfly for a little bling.

I just love the cheerful, happy feel of this card design and it's perfect for brightening up someone's day. I hope that my card design provides you with inspiration to try this color combination and explore the possibilities.
