We Create Basics Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the We Create Basics Blog Hop as we create projects using just the basic colors - Basic Black, Whisper White and Very Vanilla. This was a difficult challenge for me as I love color and it took a lot of thought before I came up with my card design using Whisper White and Basic Black.

For my card design today, I am using the New Over The Moon stamp set (item #149331) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, that will launch on June 4th. I just love the cute cow images in this stamp set and it inspired me to create my card for this challenge.

To start with I chose Basic Black cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the main panel. Using two of the smaller background stamps from the Love What You Do stamp set (item #148042), I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink to create the look of spots on a cow's hide. It was so much fun and I may have gotten a little carried away.

For the focal point, I stamped the cow image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it with one of the circles from the Layering Circles Dies (item #141705). I die cut a scalloped circle from Basic Black cardstock from the same set of dies and layered them. I colored the spots, hair and hooves with the Basic Black Stampin' Blends Markers.

Now it's time to assemble the card. I added a piece of Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon (item #148764) to the card front add attached the circles on top with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Classic Label Punch (item #141491) and then punched out another shape from a scrap of Basic Black cardstock. I cut this piece in half and attached it to the back of the sentiment with Snail Adhesive. I also punched out a scalloped circle from Basic Black cardstock using the 1 1/8" Scallop Circle Punch (item #146138) and attached it to the back of the sentiment in the center and attached the sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

This card was so much fun to create and has opened my eyes to creating projects using Black and White. I hope that my card has helped inspire you to experiment with the basics for your projects. If you love in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.

We Create Fall Blog Hop

Welcome to the September We Create Fall Blog Hop. This month we are celebrating the approach of Fall and sharing wonderful project ideas to help you transition into a new season. Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world will be sharing their Fall ideas featuring Stampin' Up! products. I hope that our creations will help inspire you to get into the Fall spirit (and think beyond Pumpkin Spice Latte).

For my cards this month, I chose the new Pleasant Pheasants stamp set, which can be found in the new 2018 Holiday Catalog. I love the organic feel of the images in this set and they look wonderful using warm earth tones.

My first card features the large pheasant image and I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder onto a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock that I had stamped with the Hardwood background stamp set. I then added some color with the Watercolor pencils add softened them with a Blender pen. I love the rustic, vintage feeling of this design and the Early Espresso cardstock card base and sentiment really bring out the design.

My second card features a more traditional Fall image with the pumpkins in the rustic wheel barrow. I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Very Vanilla circle that I die cut with the largest circle die from the Layering Circles Framelits dies. I colored the image and background using the Stampin' Blends Markers for a more vibrant look. I layered the circle onto an Early Espresso scalloped circle to frame the main image. One of the things I love about this stamp set is that it has a "Happy Thanksgiving" sentiment, and I love the elegant font. I heat embossed with Gold embossing powder onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I layered it with a piece of Early Espresso cardstock also punched with the Tailored Tag Punch.

As you can see, this is a very versatile stamp set and works beautifully for traditional Fall themed cards and is perfect for masculine card designs. The Pleasant Pheasants stamp set is just one of the amazing products in the 2018 Holiday Catalog, which launches September 5th, 2018.

I hope that you have enjoyed my cards and I hope that they inspire you to start planning your Fall projects. Now it's time to visit Anastasia's blog and see what she has to share with us this month. Just click the Next button below to visit her blog. I hope that you enjoy the rest of our blog hop.

2018 Kre8tors Blog Hop New Annual Catalog

Welcome to the 2018 Kre8tors Blog Hop. Today I am excited to share with you some of the amazing new products from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog as we visit blogs from Stampin' Up! demonstrators all over the world. I hope that our projects will inspire you to explore this wonderful new catalog.

My card today features the wonderful new Animal Outings Bundle which features the Animal Outings stamp set and the coordinating Animal Friends Thinlets Dies. When your purchase both together as a bundle, you save 10%. I fell in love with this bundle the moment I saw it and I couldn't wait for it to arrive. As a salute to my Australian homeland, I had to choose the adorable kangaroo image with the sweet little koala in its pouch. I love that there is a thinlet to die cut the image, making life so much easier.

I chose a Crumb Cake cardstock card base and added a layer of the new Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper pack (item #146926) to create the background. I just love the leaf pattern and I thought it worked perfectly with this bundle.

The kangaroo and koala were colored in using the Stampin' Blend Markers and I layered the die cut onto a Whisper White cardstock circle die cut with the largest circle die from the Layering Circles Framelits dies using Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the look of the sky, I cut a second circle from Pool Party cardstock and layered it behind and slightly above the Whisper White circle. The sentiment was stamped with Old Olive Classic ink below the kangaroo.

For a little shimmer and sparkle, I added some iridescent sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment (item #144214) to the background with Mini Glue Dots and I lightly colored the kangaroo and koala with Clear Wink of Stella (item #141897).

I love that this card works well as either a masculine or feminine design and is suitable for young and old. It is the perfect card design to have in your card stash when you need a card in a hurry. Who could resist those sweet little characters.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I would love it if you would leave me a comment letting me know what you liked best about this card design. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
