Around The World On Wednesday December Blog Hop Something New Something Old

It's time to hop along with the Around The World On Wednesday December Blog Hop as we explore the theme - Something New, Something Old. You will be visiting with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their creative ideas and projects to help inspire you.

For my card design, I chose to use the Dragonfly Garden Bundle from the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog as my something new and I paired it with the retiring Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog as my something old. While I am excited about this wonderful new bundle all its amazing possibilities, I am also sad to say goodbye to the beautiful designs of this designer series paper. I felt like they combined beautifully to create this elegant clean and simple Thank You card.

Products Used:

Dragonfly Garden Bundle (Sneak Peek from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog)

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #153520)

Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690)

Very Vanilla Cardstock (item #101650)

Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink Pad (item #147102)

Early Espresso Classic Ink Pad (item #147114)

Copper Foil Sheets (item #142020)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Measurements:

Early Espresso Cardstock Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Early Espresso Cardstock - For label die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Very Vanilla Cardstock - For sentiment label die cut with Stitched So Sweet Dies

Copper Foil - For small dragonfly punched using the Dragonflies Punch

This clean and simple card design is easy to assemble and great for creating multiples to have on hand in your card stash. I attached the designer series paper layer to the card base with Stampin' Seal adhesive. I stamped the sentiment from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set onto the Very Vanilla label using Early Espresso Classic ink and stamped the floral image twice using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink to create a soft design. I added the sentiment label to the Early Espresso label with Stampin' Seal Adhesive and then added the label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the new Dragonflies Punch, I punched out one of the small dragonflies from Copper Foil and attached it to the sentiment label with a Mini Glue Dot. I embellished the dragonfly with three small Basic Rhinestones and the sentiment label with two large Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. I love the simple elegance of this card design and the beautiful foil detail of this designer series paper is a great way to create a simply Wow card without the stress.

The Joy Of Sets November Blog Hop Thankful For You

It's time to hop along with The Joy Of Sets December Blog Hop and this month we are sharing ideas with the theme of "Thankful For You". Thank you cards are so important and something we need all through the year. It is a wonderful way to show appreciation to someone and a great way to brighten someone's day. You will get the opportunity to see a wonderful variety of ideas and projects along our blog hop to help inspire you.

My card design today is a clean and simple design with an elegant twist. The beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper has copper foil accents that really help to step up this card design. To coordinate, I added a layer of Brushed Copper Metallic cardstock to accent the sentiment label. My favorite bundle for Thank You cards would have to be the So Sentimental Bundle and I love how the dies nest to create wonderful layers. I heat embossed the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder to coordinate with the rest of the design and added a touch of bling with two large Basic Rhinestone Jewels. This card design is easy to duplicate without sacrificing on the wonderful design and requires just a few supplies to create. This simple layout design can be used with a variety of pretty papers to change the look and feel of the card for a variety of occasions.

Ink. Stamp. Share. October Monthly Blog Hop Fall & Halloween

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. October Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase projects and ideas with the theme of Fall and Halloween. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their creations to help inspire you.

For my card design, I chose to create a Fall themed card design to celebrate Thanksgiving. I love the wonderful colors and designs in the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #153520) and combined the striped pattern with the Banner Year Bundle (item #155214) and the Gather Together Bundle (item #153036) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. My card design was inspired by a technique shared by fellow New Zealand demonstrator, Jacque Williams, and I loved the flow of the circles as a contrast for the striped background. This design has a wonderful masculine feel to it and could easily be adapted to use as a birthday card or other occasion for the men in your life.

Products Used:

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #153520)

Banner Year Bundle (item #155214)

Gather Together Bundle (item #153036)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Gilded Gems (item #152478)

Linen Thread (item #104199)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Cajun Craze cardstock (item #119684)

Early Espresso cardstock (item #119686)

Mint Macaron cardstock (item #138337)

Very Vanilla cardstock (item #101650)

Cajun Craze Classic Ink Pad (item #147085)

Measurements:

Early Espresso cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(scored at 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Circles (Die Cut with Layering Circles Dies)

Early Espresso cardstock circle

-1 circle measurement 2 7/8"

Cajun Craze cardstock Circles

- 1 circle measurement 2 5/8"

- 1 circle measurement 1 5/8"

Mint Macaron cardstock Circles

-1 circle measurement 2 5/8"

- 1 circle measurement 1 5/8"

Circle Die Cuts (Die Cut with Stitched Shapes Dies)

- 2 Very Vanilla Circles (die cut with the 2nd largest Stitched Circle Die)

- 1 Very Vanilla Circle (die cut with the smallest Stitched Circle Die)

Early Espresso cardstock 1/2" Strip (for sentiment)

The most complicated part of creating this card is the layering and cutting of the circles. One stack of circles layers the Early Espresso large circle, Mint Macaron larger circle, Very Vanilla large stitched circle and the small Cajun Craze circle. I attached them using Tombow Multi Purpose Glue to make it easier to slide them into place. You need to have them aligned towards the right side to create the design. For the second stack of circles, I layered the larger Cajun Craze circle, the second large stitched Very Vanilla Circle and the small Mint Macaron circle. Once again, I aligned them to the right side and attached them with glue. I then cut both layered circles in half, cutting through all layers to cut them both in half. I attached the bottom half of the larger circle onto the right side of the card front and then attached the bottom half of the smaller circle (flipping it upside down) so that it aligns with the colors of the larger circle, to create the wavy swirl design. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set onto the 1/2" strip of Early Espresso cardstock and used the Banners Pick A Punch on the right end of the strip. I trimmed it to fit just slightly shorter than the width of the card front and attached it with Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

To complete the card design, I stamped the two pumpkins image from the Gather Together stamp set using the Cajun Craze Classic Ink Pad and colored the images with Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut them using the coordinating Gathered Leaves Dies. I attached the pumpkins to the small Very Vanilla stitched circle with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and then attached the circle to the card front with a combination of Stampin' Seal Adhesive along the bottom of the circle and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals across the top. I lined the Very Vanilla circle up so that it fit inside the small Cajun Craze half circle and over the top of the end of the sentiment banner. To embellish the card, I added a small bow tied with Linen Thread to the base of the small Very Vanilla circle and added Gilded Gems to add a touch of gold to coordinate with the embossed sentiment.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will give you ideas to help you create wonderful Fall themed cards with this beautiful designer series paper and to experiment with different shapes to create wonderful designs.

The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop Harvest Time

It's time to hop along with The Joy Of Sets October Blog Hop as we showcase Harvest Time for this month's theme. We will be sharing ideas and projects to inspire you to create your own Autumn and Harvest themed projects to celebrate the new season.

When I think of Fall I think the changing leaves and fields of pumpkins that are common here in Colorado at this time of year. I decided to create a card design that reflected both of these things using the beautiful Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper combined with the Beautiful Autumn stamp set, both from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the Gold Foil detail in this pretty paper and the warm colors that are perfect for this season.

Products Used:

Beautiful Autumn stamp set

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

Brushed Metallic cardstock

Cajun Craze cardstock

Very Vanilla cardstock

Layering Circles Dies

Gathered Leaves Dies

Gold Glitter Enamel Dots

Gold Embossing Powder

Measurements:

Cajun Craze cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper layer

5 1/4" x 4"

Very Vanilla cardstock for Circle die cut

Brushed Metallic cardstock (gold)

for Circle die cut and detailed leaf die cut

This card design is simple to create but has a beautiful, elegant look to it. The Brushed Metallic cardstock coordinates with the foil details in the background paper and really steps up the design. The detailed leaf was die cut with one of the leaf dies from the Gathered Leaves Dies and I die cut it from the center of the Brushed Metallic cardstock circle to save on cardstock. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set and has been heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder to coordinate with the rest of the design. I added small Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to add a touch of bling without overwhelming 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 wonderful projects to celebrate the season using designer series paper. It is a wonderful way to create beautiful cards quickly and simply.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights October 2020

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for October as we showcase Thank You cards. You will have the opportunity to visit with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their designs and ideas to help inspire you.

Fall has arrived here in the U.S. so I thought I would share a beautiful Fall themed Thank You card using the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I love the gold and copper foil detail in the designs of this paper and it goes the card design an elegant look. I combined it with the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, both from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the labels from this die set and they worked perfectly with the sentiments in this stamp set.

Products Used:
Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #153520)
Peaceful Moments stamp set (item #151595)
Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690)
Shaded Spruce cardstock (item #146981)

Very Vanilla cardstock (item #101650)
Copper Foil Sheets (item #142020)
Cajun Craze Classic Ink Pad (item #147085)
Basic Pearls (item #144219)
Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154889)

Measurements:

Shaded Spruce cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(scored at 4 1/4")

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Shaded Spruce cardstock for label

Very Vanilla cardstock for sentiment label

Copper Foil Sheet for punched leaves

This clean and simple card design is easy to assemble and it is a great design to if you want to create multiples of the same design. I stamped the sentiment onto the Very Vanilla cardstock layer with Cajun Craze Classic ink as I thought it coordinated well with the Copper Foil. I accidently used a retired leaf punch to punch out my leaves from the Copper Foil. You could used the Sprig Punch as an alternative or one of the die sets in the catalogs to create a similar look. The small Basic Pearls were colored using the Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends Marker to coordinate with the background paper design. I popped up the sentiment label with Stampin' Dimensionals to add a little extra dimension to the design. This layout would look beautiful with any of the wonderful patterns in the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and would make perfect Fall Thank You cards.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my Thank You card design inspires you to explore using designer series paper to create your own beautiful projects. There are so many wonderful designs to choose from to help you create cards for the special people in your life.

I would love it if you would take the time to vote for my card design this month by clicking the button below. You will have the opportunity to vote for 5 cards, so I encourage you to share the love with my fellow Demonstrators.

Until Next Time
