GSF The Neutrals Blog Hop

It's time to hop with the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to use colors from the Neutrals collection in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help provide you with ideas for your own creations.

Today I decided to showcase the wonderful variety of colors available in the Neutrals collection. These beautiful colors coordinate to help create wonderful projects. I chose to use Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot and Smoky Slate for this card design.

I chose to use Smoky Slate cardstock as my card base and added a layer of Night of Navy to provide a frame for the Whisper White cardstock focal panel.

To create the background, I used my color palette with the variety of images from the Bloom By Bloom stamp set (item #148820) that can be found in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. Mossy Meadow Classic ink works perfectly for the leaves and the small dots in the background and I love how the flowers turned out using Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Smoky Slate Classic inks.

To create the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Humming Along stamp set (item #148758) with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder onto a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock. I punched out the image using the Pretty Label Punch (item #143715) and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals over a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) that I attached across the center of the focal panel. To finish off the card design, I added Basic Pearls that I colored with the Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Marker (item #144039), to the centers of the Smoky Slate flowers.

As you can see, it is possible to create a beautiful card design using a variety of colors from the Neutral Collection. I love the elegant look that these colors add to the design. It is possible to create a variety of designs by experimenting with this collection. 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 my card design will help inspire you to experiment with the colors in the Neutrals collection and create your own projects.

Ink. Stamp. Share. January 2019 Occasions Blog Hop

It's time for the Ink. Stamp. Share. January Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to use products from the new 2019 Occasions Catalog. You will be visiting blogs from all over the world featuring projects created by Stampin' Up! demonstrators to help inspire you with your own creations.

For today's hop, I chose to use the beautiful Humming Along Bundle (item #150621) to create my card design. I love how the hummingbird image has the look of stained glass and I colored the image using the versatile Stampin' Blend Markers. I chose colors that coordinated with the cardstock I chose for a soft, pretty look.

The card base was created using Mint Macaron cardstock and I added a frame of Blushing Bride cardstock that I die cut using the Rectangles Stitched Framelits (item #148551) to fit around the piece of Whisper White cardstock that I also die cut with these dies. I love the detailed stitching these dies create on both the inside and outside edges of the rectangles.

The hummingbird image and sentiment are both from the Humming Along stamp set (item #148758) which coordinates perfectly with the Hummingbird Framelits Dies (item #148538). When you order both products as a bundle, you save 10%. Remember, during Sale-a-bration, you can also earn Free exclusive products with a qualifying order.

I chose to heat emboss the sentiment with Gold embossing powder to add a touch of elegance to the card and I used Clear Wink of Stella to add shimmer to the hummingbird image. I just love the classic elegance of this card design and it works beautifully for a birthday, get well or thank you card.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card has helped inspire you to try this wonderful new bundle and experiment with coloring with the Stampin' Blends Markers.
