Stamptastic Friends May Blog Hop Masculine

It's time to hop along with the Stamptastic Friends May Blog Hop as we showcase Masculine themed projects to help inspire you. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity. Masculine projects can be challenging and I hope that we will be able to provide you with ideas to help you create your own beautiful projects for the guys in your life. 

For my card design, I decided to use products from the new Take To The Sky Suite Collection in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I chose to use the Adventurous Sky Bundle with the coordinating Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper to create a clean and simple masculine birthday card. I chose to use one of the designs from the designer series paper as the background and focal image of my card design. To help step up the design, I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto a strip of Night of Navy cardstock and added the stamped and die cut image of the small plane as an accent to the design. I love vintage planes and I felt like the Smoky Slate/Night of Navy color combination was perfect for this style of card.

Products Used:

Adventurous Sky Bundle (item #163447)

Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper (item #163436)

Sentiment Strip - 1/2" x 5 1/4"

Basic White Cardstock

Plane image stamped and die cut with the Adventurous Sky Bundle

Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

It's always fun playing with new products and I was excited to explore new possibilities with this new suite. One of the sheets of designer series paper is made up of a series of smaller images or sections and I was drawn to the larger Smoky Slate vintage plane for my background. I trimmed it to 5 1/4" x 4" for my card front and attached it to my Night of Navy card base, which really helps make the background design pop. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver Embossing Powder towards the left side and attached the strip to the card front, about a 1/4" from the bottom. I stamped the smaller plane with Smoky Slate Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating die. I then attached the die cut to the right side of the sentiment strip. To complete the card design, I added two small Silver Sequins to coordinate with the Silver embossing. I love how this card came together and I think this is a classic masculine design that would work for a variety of occasions.

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop 2024-2026 In Colors

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we showcase the new 2024-2026 In Colors. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore using these beautiful new colors in your projects. There are so many options to choose from and I can't wait to share my card design with you.

Today's card is a fun birthday design using the Playing in the Rain stamp set and coordinating Playing In The Rain Dies using Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Peach Pie and a touch of Pretty In Pink. I love experimenting with different color combinations and I think these colors work really well together. This cute card design would work well for people of all ages and is a great way to celebrate someone's special day.

Playing In The Rain stamp set (item #160542)

Large Circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Medium Circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies

Turtle stamped and die cut with the Playing In the Rain Dies

Sentiment Label die cut with the Everday Details Dies

This card design is so cute and I thought that the combination of Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash would be perfect to color my cute little turtle. I used Stampin' Blends Markers to color the turtle using Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash, Peach Pie and a couch of Pretty In Pink for the flower. I die cut the image out and attached it to the Basic White circle with Stampin' Dimensionals and then layered it onto the Peach Pie Circle. For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Saying Hey stamp set using Shy Shamrock Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label. I wanted to keep the design very simple, so I chose to use two of the small Petal Pink Dots from the Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots to embellish the sentiment label. I love how this card design turned out and how beautifully these colors worked together. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog.

Stamping Inkspirations January Blog Hop Sketch Challenge With Glimmer & Shine

What better way to spend a cold Winter's day than to hop along with the Stamping Inkspirations January Blog Hop. We are starting off the New Year with a Sketch Challenge with some glimmer and shine to brighten things up. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative for 2024. 

When I looked through my crafty stash, I realized I didn't have a lot of glimmer and shine to choose from, so I decided to go with something a little more understated and elegant. The Tartan Foil Specialty Designer Series Paper, available in the Online Exclusives, has a subtle shine to it and I thought it would be perfect for this sketch challenge. I love creating monochromatic designs and I thought this layout would look great with a Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock combination.  

Products Used:

Go To Greetings stamp set (item #158763)

Timeless Arrangements Dies (item #161625)

Pretty Peacock Cardstock (item #150880)

Tartan Foil Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #162332) Online Exclusive

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Loose Frosted Dots (item #161153) Online Exclusive

Mini Glue Dots (item #103683)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Sentiment Label die cut with the Timeless Arrangements Dies

2 Strips - 1/4" x 7" (Trimmed to size)

Tartan Foil Specialty Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

For this card design, I went with a more subdued shine for my card design. I love the beautiful Tartan Foil Specialty Designer Series Paper and the subtle shine that it has to the designs. I chose to go with the Lost Lagoon pattern and combined it with Pretty Peacock cardstock to make the design pop. I love the monochromatic feel of this design with this sketch layout as the soft plaid background pattern works well with the diagonal strips. I went with 1/4" strips and adhered them to the card front and trimmed off the excess. I attached the card front to the Pretty Peacock card base to create the basic design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the Happy Birthday image from the Go To Greetings stamp set using Silver embossing powder. This stamp set is one of my favorite sentiment options and I love the variety of sizes and fonts it offers. I added the sentiment label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to add a little dimension to the design. For the finishing touch, I added some of the Pretty Peacock Frosted Loose Dots to the diagonal strips and the sentiment label to add some sparkle. I love that this design can be understated and have sparkle. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to give this Sketch Challenge a try and help spark your creativity. Don't forget to check out the products in the Online Exclusives for more great options.

GSF Extra Ordinary Annual Catalog Carry Over Blog Hop

Welcome to the GSF Extra Ordinary Annual Catalog Blog Hop where we feature products that will be new or are carrying over to the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world as they share projects created with new projects that they received at the recent OnStage events as well as carry over products of favorites from the 2019 Occasions Catalog and 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. I hope that our projects will get you excited about this amazing new catalog when it launches June 4th, 2019.

 Today I am showcasing the wonderful Piece of Cake bundle (item #150579) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog and I am so excited that both the stamp set and punch will be available for us to create with for another year. These products are so versatile and fun to use and work for a variety of occasions. Note that the bundle price will not be available in the new catalog, so if you want to take advantage of the 10% discount, make sure to order this bundle before June 3rd, 2019. 

I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party for my card design with a splash of Flirty Flamingo and Silver for a pop of color. I colored the Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) with the Flirty Flamingo Dark Stampin' Blends Marker and I colored the cake image with Light and Dark Pool Party and Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Markers to coordinate with the colors I chose for this card design. To add some texture to the strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock, I embossed it using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder (item #146335). 

I hope that you have enjoyed my card design today and that it inspires you to create your own projects with these products. I am so happy they will be available in the new catalog. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
