ICS Blog Hop It's A Spring Thing

Welcome to April's ICS Blog Hop with our theme this month being It's a Spring Thing! We are celebrating the new season with our wonderful Spring themed projects to help inspire you. I hope that you enjoy what we have to share with you this month.

Today I have paired the amazing Butterfly Gala Bundle (item #150599) with the beautiful Gingham Gala 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #148554) to create this pretty Spring card. I just love how they work together.

I chose to use Highland Heather cardstock for the card base and added 3 strips measuring 1" x5 1/4" and attached them to the front of the card. I chose to use the large gingham pattern but you could easily use the smaller design on the reverse if you prefer.

For the focal image, I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock die cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies (item #148551) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and layered this piece onto a piece of Highland Heather cardstock that I die cut with one of the larger rectangle dies.

The butterflies were stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I colored them using Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo Classic inks and the Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Marker for detail on the smaller butterflies. For a touch of bling, I added Basic Rhinestones to the bodies of the butterflies to finish off the card design.

The beauty of creating this card design with these products is that you can recreate this card in any of the beautiful colors featured in the Gingham Gala 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. I will warn you though, that this paper pack and the Butterfly Gala Bundle are extremely popular, so you should place your order soon to get them before the disappear. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you with your creative projects.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own Spring projects.

We Create In Color 2017-2019 Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create In Color 2017-2019 Blog Hop as we say goodbye to these beautiful colors that will be retiring soon. I have so many favorite colors in this collection that I will be sad to see go. As you visit each blog, you will see wonderful projects using these colors to help inspire you with your own creations.

I think my absolute favorite color from the 2017-2019 In Color collection would have to be Lemon Lime Twist. It is such a wonderful vibrant color, perfect for Spring. I chose this as my main focal color for my card design and used Powder Pink, Berry Burst and a touch of Tranquil Tide.

The stamp set I chose for the image for my card is This Little Piggy, an old favorite from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. It makes me think of Spring and sunshine when I see this cute little pig holding a flower, so happy. I stamped the image with Stazon Jet Black ink and colored him in with the colors from the 2017-2019 In Color Stampin' Write Markers (item #144033), onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I die cut with the Rectangle Stitched Framelits (item #148551) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. I layered it onto a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock that I also die cut with these dies.

I chose to use a piece of Lemon Lime Twist gingham paper from the Gingham Gala 6"x6" Designer Series Paper. Using the thin tip of the Berry Burst Stampin' Write Marker, I drew grid lines on the paper to create a colorful plaid look. I attached it to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to create a matte and then added a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) across the center of the panel.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580) with Memento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the Whisper White cardstock background panel. It was then a simple manner of assembling the card to complete the design.

This color collection works beautifully together to create wonderful cards and projects for Spring and Summer. With the coordinating products that Stampin' Up! has to offer, it is simple to choose coordinating paper, ink and embellishments to design your project.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope my card design helps inspire you to try creating your own designs with the 2017-2019 In Colors. Don't forget to stock up on your favorite colors before they retire and disappear. Now it's time to visit Anastasia's blog and see what she has to share with us this month.
