Ink. Stamp. Share. April Blog Hop Color Challenge

It's time to hop along with the Ink. Stamp. Share. April Blog Hop with a fun Color Challenge to inspire us all. We have been challenged to use Rococo Rose, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and So Saffron in our project and I just love the Spring feel of this color combination. 

For my card design today, I decided to use one of my old favorite stamp sets, This Little Piggy (item #151227) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I am sad to see that it is retiring, so I wanted to show it some love. I combined it with the Daisy Lane Bundle (item #151118) to create this sweet Spring card design. 

 To create this card, I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and added a layer of So Saffron cardstock that I embossed with the retiring Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog to add some texture to the background. I created the focal panel from Whisper White cardstock and the frame from Rococo Rose cardstock using the Layering Squares Dies (item # 151772). I stamped the image from the This Little Piggy stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image using Rococo Rose, So Saffron , Granny Apply Green and Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Markers. 

 I added a piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (item #146912) across the center of the So Saffron card front and attached the square focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, positioning it over the ribbon. 

To create the daisy, I stamped the medium size daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set twice onto Whisper White cardstock using Highland Heather Classic ink. I then punched out both images using the Medium Daisy Punch. I colored the daisy images with Clear Wink of Stella to give them a soft shimmer and attached them together using Snail Adhesive, offsetting them to create a fuller looking flower. 

 Using the Leaf Punch, I punched out some leaves from Granny Apple Green cardstock and attached them to the back of the daisy. I added the daisy to the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, positioning it to cover the top left corner of the focal image. For a touch of bling, I added a Clear Faceted Gem to the center of the Daisy to complete the card design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to create your own fun Spring projects with these beautiful colors. The possibilities are endless.

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop September 2019

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for September and our last blog hop together as part of this wonderful year of training and sharing with my fellow demonstrators from around the world. This has been an amazing experience and I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and learn so much that has helped me grow as a demonstrator and as a person. I hope that you will enjoy our last blog hop together and be inspired by the amazing projects that we have to share with you all.

 My card design today features the beautiful Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (item #149497) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I love that the new 2019-2021 In Colors coordinate perfectly with the wonderful patterns in this paper pack and make it simple to create projects using these colors. The combination of Terracotta Tile and Seaside Spray made me think of how we are transitioning from Summer into Fall, I thought these colors worked well together. The Overlay Fun Fold is a wonderful card design that I discovered from fellow demonstrator, Susan Campfield, and I thought would work beautifully with this pretty paper. 

 The sheet of designer series paper that I chose from the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper pack predominantly features Seaside Spray with hints of Terracotta Tile. I chose to use Terracotta Tile cardstock for the base of my card to create a nice contrast.  To create my daisy, I stamped the images from the Daisy Lane stamp set (item #149325) on Whisper White cardstock using Seaside Spray Classic ink. I stamped the medium daisy image twice and then punched both of them out using the Medium Daisy Punch (item #149517) and layered them together with a Mini Glue Dot. I then stamped the large daisy image twice and punched them out using the Daisy Punch (item #143713) and layered them together with a Mini Glue Dot. To complete the daisy, I layered the medium daisy on top of the large daisy and attached them together with several Mini Glue Dots. Did you know that when you order both the Daisy Lane stamp set and coordinating Medium Daisy Punch as the Daisy Lane Bundle (item #151118), you can save 10%? It's a great way to help you with your stamping budget. 

For the inside panel of the card, I attached two 3/4"x4" strips of the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper to the sides of the 5 1/4"x4" Whisper White cardstock insert and then attached it to the inside of the card. This provides and area to write a message that will be hidden behind the front panel of the card.

 For the front of the card design, I attached a 3/4"x5 1/4" strip of the same designer series paper across the top of the Terracotta Tile card base, which has been cut to 5 1/4" x 5 1/2" and scored at 1" along the 5 1/4" side to create a small flap. I attached a 5" x4" piece of Terracotta Tile cardstock to the inside of the card flap using Tear & Tape Adhesive for added strength, lining up the bottom of the piece with the base of the back of the card base. For the design area, I added a 3"x3 3/4" Whisper White cardstock layer to the Terracotta Tile layer. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set (item #152729) with Copper Embossing Powder onto the Whisper White cardstock. 

I punched out two of the leaves from Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Leaf Punch (item #144667) and attached them to the card front with Snail Adhesive so that the stems would be underneath the daisy. I also attached a piece of the Terracotta Tile 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon (item #149705) between the leaves so that it would stick out from underneath the daisy. To finish off the card, I attached the Seaside Spray daisy onto the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, making sure to center it so that it the leaves and ribbon were visible. For a touch of bling, I added a Clear Faceted Gem (item $144142) to the center of the daisy and lightly brushed the petals with the Clear Wink of Stella for a touch of shimmer.
