GSF October Blog Hop Changing Seasons

 

Welcome to the GSF October Blog Hop as we explore the theme of Changing Seasons. Here in the U.S. we have said goodbye to Summer and hello to the cooler days of Fall as the leaves begin to change. As you journey along our blog hop, you will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects reflecting the changing seasons in their corner of the world. I hope that our ideas help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.

My card design today showcases the wonderful colors of Autumn combined with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set combined with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I CASEd a card design that I created back in July, but this time I used Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee to create the warmth of Fall. You can see my original card here. I wanted to create a card that would be suitable for Thanksgiving and the sentiment in the Beautiful Autumn stamp set from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog fit the design perfectly. I just love the beautiful font and how well it coordinates with the sunflowers. 

Supplies Used:

Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (item #152517)

Beautiful Autumn stamp set (item #153450)

Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690)

Cinnamon Cider cardstock (item #153078)

Bumblebee cardstock (item #153077)

Very Vanilla cardstock (item #101650)

Cinnamon Cider Classic ink pad (item #153114)

Bumblebee Classic ink pad (item #153116)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Measurements:

Cinnamon Cider cardstock card base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" 

(scored at 4 1/4")

Very Vanilla cardstock layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Bumblebee cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4" 

Bumblebee cardstock for label

Very Vanilla cardstock for sentiment label

This clean and simple card design is easy to create and has minimal stamping and supplies. I used Bumblebee Classic ink to stamp the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set onto the Bumblebee cardstock layer. I love the tone on tone look that this creates and the detail of the sunflower image creates a beautiful background. The sentiment has been stamped with Cinnamon Cider Classic ink to coordinate with the card design onto the Very Vanilla label that I die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the labels to add dimension to the card and the Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling without overwhelming the simplicity of this design. It is amazing how different these two cards look just by changing the color combination and this design can be used for a variety of occasions by changing the sentiment.

I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own wonderful Fall projects using the many amazing products that Stampin' Up! has to offer.

We Create Look At These Labels Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create Look At These Labels Blog Hop as we showcase using Labels on our projects using current projects from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their creative ideas to help inspire you. 

 Today I thought I would share this pretty card design featuring the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (item #152517) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and I combined it with one of my favorite label die sets, the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151590) from the So Sentimental Bundle (item #153828). 

 My favorite color is blue, so I decided to create my card design using Misty Moonlight cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock to frame the background layer of  Seaside Spray cardstock. I stamped the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set using Seaside Spray Classic ink onto the Seaside Spray cardstock layer to create a tone on tone design for the background. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the So Sentimental stamp set (151691) with Versamark onto a scrap of Seaside Spray cardstock and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment using one of the dies from the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly Dies and die cut the larger layer from Misty Moonlight cardstock to create the frame for the sentiment. 

To complete the card design, I attached the smaller sentiment label to the background label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and attached it to the stamped background layer with adhesive. I attached the background layer to the Whisper White cardstock layer with adhesive and then attached the card front to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added two medium Basic Rhinestones to the sentiment label to finish off the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design shows you how much fun it is to use labels in your projects to help step up the design. The So Sentimental Bundle is so versatile and when you purchase the bundle, you save 10%.

Ink. Stamp. Share June Special Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the Ink. Stamp. Share June Special Blog Hop as we share projects and ideas to help inspire you. Our theme for this hop is Anything Goes, so you will get to see a wide range of project ideas as you visit the blogs of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. 

 Today I am sharing a clean and simple Thank You card created with the new Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (item #154065). Instead of coloring the flower image to look like a sunflower, I chose a different color combination to create the look of a Gerbera Daisy. I stamped the image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Soft Suede Classic ink. I colored the image using the So Saffron combo, Granny Apple Green combo and Flirty Flamingo combo of Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut the image using the coordinating Sunflowers Dies. 

 For the card base, I chose Granny Apple Green cardstock and I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that I embossed using the new Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (item #152718) to add subtle texture to the background. I die cut a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the label dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies (item #153585) and a slightly smaller die cut from Whisper White cardstock using the same dies. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Whisper White label, towards the center.

The ribbon embellishment was created by coloring a piece of Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144146) with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker and folded it in half, securing it in place with a Mini Glue Dot. I attached it to the back of the Granny Apple Green label die cut with another Mini Glue Dot, towards the bottom right side. 

 To assemble the card, I attached the embossed Whisper White cardstock layer to the card base and then added the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added the die cut flower to the top left corner of the label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so that the flower overlapped the top of the label. For a touch of shimmer, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower and leaves, to finish off the design. I love how this flower image was transformed from a sunflower to a daisy by using a different color combination. It opens up so many wonderful possibilities for this bundle. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will encourage you to explore the wonderful new products in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. There is such a wide variety to choose from to help you create projects for all occasions.
