Stamping INKspirations January Blog Hop Something New

Welcome to the first Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop and we are starting January off with the theme of Something New. You will be visiting with creative people from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get the New Year off to a great start. 

With the start of the New Year, I have been enjoying playing with some of the new products from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog to help spark my creativity. I chose to use the Enjoy The Moment stamp set and combined it with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200) to add some texture and a vintage feel to the design. I love to heat emboss, so I incorporated that technique by embossing the focal image with Gold embossing powder to make it pop against the Rich Razzleberry cardstock. The color combination of Rich Razzleberry, Gray Granite and Very Vanilla with a touch of Gold is also something new for me and I love how these colors work together. 

Products Used:

Enjoy The Moment stamp set (item #154452)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200)

 1 1/2" Circle Punch (item #138299)

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock (item #115316)

Gray Granite Cardstock (item #146983)

Very Vanilla Cardstock (item #101650)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144146)

Measurements:

Gray Granite Cardstock 

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

- For Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock

- Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" (Embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder)

- For Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies (Heat emboss image with Gold Embossing Powder)

Very Vanilla Cardstock

- For Sentiment Circle punched out with the 1 1/2" Circle Punch

This clean and simple card design has an elegant feel to it and I love the organic theme of the Enjoy The Moment stamp set. I chose one of the large images from this stamp set to heat emboss as the focal image onto the Rich Razzleberry cardstock oval. The Gray Granite cardstock oval provides a beautiful frame for this image and helps it to pop against the card background. The Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder adds wonderful texture to this card and the Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon adds an elegant touch. For the sentiment, I used Gray Granite Classic ink and stamped off the small image once before stamping it on the Very Vanilla cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on top of the stamped image using Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink and punched it out using the 1 1/2" Circle Punch. I attached the focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added the sentiment circle by overlapping one side over the focal image and attaching a Stampin' Dimensional to the back of the other side to have it level with the focal image. I decided not to add any bling to this card as I felt that the Gold embossing and the Gold detail on the ribbon were perfect for stepping up this design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to try something new and to explore the wonderful January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog. It's a great time to treat yourself to a little creative therapy to relax and unwind.

Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop The Market - All About Texture

It's time to hop along with the Around The World On Wednesday November Blog Hop as we explore the theme of "The Market - All About Texture". You will be visiting with wonderful Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they explore this theme and provide you with wonderful ideas and projects to inspire you. 

Today is November 11th, Veteran's Day here in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, including Australia. As I think back to being a young girl growing up in a small country town in Australia, I have strong memories of this day and the importance of remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Red Poppies are an important symbol of this special day and I wanted to incorporate them into my card design today to create this special card. When I think of markets, I think of the beautiful assortment of flowers on display, waiting to go home with someone to brighten their day. The Peaceful Moments Bundle (item #153824) was a perfect choice with it's wonderful dies that layer to create detailed flowers and the beautiful sentiments that express the importance of this occasion. 

Products Used:

Peaceful Moments Dies (item #153824)

Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)

Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200)

Classic Label Punch (item #141491)

Poppy Parade Cardstock (item #119793)

Calypso Coral Cardstock (item #122925)

Garden Green Cardstock (item #102584)

Old Olive Cardstock (item #100702)

Basic Black Cardstock (item #121045)

Whisper White Cardstock (item #100730)

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (item #132708)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Gilded Gems (item #152478)

Measurements:

Poppy Parade Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Whisper White Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" 

(Embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder)

Basic Black Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" 

(Die cut the center opening with the Stitched Rectangles Dies)

Basic Black Cardstock - for flower die cuts and sentiment label

Poppy Parade Cardstock - For flower base die cuts

Calypso Coral Cardstock - For intricate floral die cuts

Old Olive Cardstock - For leaf base die cuts

Garden Green Cardstock - For intricate leaf die cuts and small leaves

This beautiful card design is all about layers. I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the Whisper White cardstock layer with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then embossed the layer with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I attached this layer to the Poppy Parade card base. To create the Basic Black cardstock frame, I die cut the center out using the 3 largest die in the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I attached the frame over the top of the Whisper White cardstock layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the poppies, I die cut the bases of the flowers from Poppy Parade cardstock and the detailed layers from Calypso Coral cardstock using the Poppy Moments Dies and attached them with adhesive. I die cut the detailed centers of the flowers from Basic Black cardstock and added them to the centers of the flowers. The leaves were created by die cutting the bases from Old Olive cardstock and the detailed layers and small leaves from Garden Green cardstock. I assembled the leaves and flowers and attached them to the Basic Black cardstock frame, using Stampin' Dimensionals and Stampin' Seal adhesive. The small sentiment was created by heat embossing the image onto a scrap of Basic Black cardstock with Gold Embossing Powder and punched out using the Classic Label Punch. I tucked one end of the label under the flower and attached it to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added a small Gilded Gem at the end of the sentiment label to coordinate with the Gold embossing. I love this bold color combination and the wonderful texture of the background that makes me think of wrinkled paper that could represent an old letter written home to family. This card design is just my way of remembering this special day. Lest We Forget. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore adding texture to your projects. It's amazing the ideas you can find in the world around you and how you can use these elements to create special memories and projects.

Colour Combo July Blog Hop

It's time to explore new color combinations with the Colour Combo July Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to create a project using Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight and Sahara Sand. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you. 

 My card design today features the Jar of Flowers stamp set (item #152515) combined with the Country Home stamp set (item #147678). I love that the flowers fit on top of the milk can image to create a more country feel for this card design. 

 For the card base, I chose to use Sahara Sand cardstock and I added a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock that I embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200) to add texture to the background. I die cut a label from Whisper White cardstock using one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) to create the focal image. 

I stamped the milk can image from the Country Home stamp set onto the bottom of the label using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with the Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped the flower image from the Jar of Flowers stamp set onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and colored it with Misty Moonlight and Highland Heather Stampin' Blends Markers and the Sahara Sand Stampin' Write Marker. I fussy cut around the image and added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back.

 To assemble the card, I attached the Whisper White label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added a piece of Misty Moonlight 1/4" Ribbon (item #153624) to the top of the milk can with a Mini Glue Dot. Next, I attached the flowers so that they overlap the top of the milk can and ribbon, For then sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Country Home stamp set with White Embossing Powder onto a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock and die cut it with the small die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690). I attached the sentiment so that it overlaps the bottom of the Whisper White label. I used a Mini Stampin' Dimensional on the back of the right side of the sentiment so that it attaches to the card front and the left side adheres to the label with adhesive.  I added a small Basic Rhinestone to the sentiment for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to try this wonderful color combination and create your own beautiful projects. There are so many wonderful options in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to help spark your creativity.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights July 2020

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for July as we share projects and ideas to help inspire you. Our theme for this month is Thank You and we have talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world sharing their projects with you today. 

 One of my favorite bundles in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (item #154065). One of the reasons why I love it so much, is that it is so versatile and you can change the look and feel of this bundle simply by changing the colors for you r project. 

For this card design, I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and I added a layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the background layer, that I embossed using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200). I love the texture that this embossing folder adds to the design. 

I wanted my flower to look similar to a Gerbera Daisy, so I chose Blushing Bride cardstock for the background layer of the flower and I die cut the detailed layer from Rococo Rose cardstock using the Sunflowers Dies (item #152704). I punched a circle from So Saffron cardstock using the 1 1/2" Circle Punch (which fits perfectly behind the center of the detailed die cut) and I sponged it with So Saffron Classic ink. Using adhesive, I attached the sponged circle behind the center of the Rococo Rose detailed die cut. I attached Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the So Saffron circle and then lined up the two layers before attaching the So Saffron circle to the center of the Blushing Bride flower base. To create the leaves, I die cut two of the base leaves from Soft Sea Foam cardstock and two detailed leaves from Just Jade cardstock and layered them together with adhesive. I also die cut one of the detailed fern leaves from Just Jade cardstock. 

The sentiment was created by heat embossing the image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (item #152517) onto a 3/4" strip of Very Vanilla cardstock using Gold Embossing Powder and then I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (item #152883) to decorate the ends. To assemble the card, I attached the fern leaves to the back of the flower and then attached the flower to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the leaves so that tucked underneath the flower on either side of the fern leaves. I attached the sentiment along the bottom of the card front so that the flower petals slightly overlapped the sentiment label. For a touch of bling, I added 3 of the Gilded Gems to the card front and used Clear Wink of Stella on the flower and leaves for a touch of shimmer to finish off the design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own wonderful Thank You cards.

The Joy Of Sets June Splish Splash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joy Of Sets June Blog Hop as we showcase our theme "Splish Splash" with projects that have a water theme. You will be visiting blogs from around the world as we share our creative projects to help inspire you. 

 Today's card design showcases a returning favorite paired with some new products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The Sailing Home stamp set (item #149457) and coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies (item #149576) are perfect for creating a ocean theme card design and I paired it with the new Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200) from the World of Good Suite to create the texture in the background.

 To create this card design, I chose Night of Navy cardstock for the card base and Balmy Blue cardstock for the background layer, which has been embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I love how it gives the feeling of waves in the background. The sail boat and sentiment are from the Sailing Home stamp set and I stamped the sail boat image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiment was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder, onto Whisper White cardstock. I used the Layering Circles Dies (item #151770) to die cut the opening for the card front, the frame and the sentiment as well as a large Whisper White cardstock circle to create the sponged background. To create the background, I sponged Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray Classic inks. I used the new Water Painters (item #151298) to color the sail boat using Balmy Blue and the new Cinnamon Cider Classic inks. This design is great for a masculine card and would be perfect for Father's Day or even a Graduation.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you create your own water themed projects using sponging and embossing to add texture and depth. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
