ICS February Blog Hop Time To Sale-a-Brate Again

Welcome to the ICS February Blog Hop as we share wonderful projects using the incredible Sale-a-Bration products you can earn free with a qualifying order until February 28th. Our Design Team Members will be sharing their creative ideas to help inspire you to create your own wonderful projects.

For my card design today, I wanted to share the beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set, which is the exclusive Host Sale-a-Bration Reward you can earn free with a qualifying party/order during Sale-a-Bration. The images in this distinktive stamp set are simply stunning and I love the beautiful sentiments that make it perfect for a variety of occasions. I chose to use the images to create a beautiful background design using Merry Merlot and Blushing Bride to create a clean and simple birthday card. 

Products Used:

Calming Camellia stamp set (item #158117) Sale-a-Bration Host Reward

Scalloped Contours Dies (item #155560)

Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664)

Sentiment Label die cut with the Ornate Frames Dies

Blushing Bride Cardstock

Card Front die cut with the Scalloped Contours Dies

White Glittered Organdy Ribbon

1 piece approx. 4" long

This beautiful clean and simple card design is all about the stamping. I love the way the Merry Merlot Classic ink stands out against the Blushing Bride cardstock to create a vintage feel to this card design. The detailed floral images create a detailed background that reminds me of fabric and I felt like the scalloped edges helped to frame this pretty design. For the sentiment, I wanted something that was simple and elegant, so I heat embossed the image onto a label die cut with the Ornate Frames Dies with Gold embossing powder. To embellish the card, I chose to use a piece of the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon to add subtle shimmer underneath the sentimement label and I added three of the Opal Rounds for a touch of sparkle. I think this card design is an example of how you can create simply stunning card designs with this stamp set.

Paper Pumpkin Possibilities August Blog Hop Hope Box

 

Welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Possibilities August Blog Hop as we showcase alternative project ideas with the August Hope Box Kit. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you to think outside the box. 

The August Paper Pumpkin Kit is so beautiful and it is extra special because it was created by Stampin' Up! Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner. Shelli's kits are always amazing and this one is no exception. Watch this short video to learn more about this wonderful kit.

For my alternative card design, I chose to use one of the gorgeous die cuts in this month's kit. From the moment I saw this die cut, I knew it would look amazing against a Basic Black background. I love how the colors pop and bring the design to life. For the sentiment, I used one of the dies from the Ornate Frames Dies and heat embossed the image with Gold embossing powder. This simply Wow card design is so easy to create with the supplies in the kit, combined with Basic Black cardstock and Gold embossing powder. 

Products Used:

Paper Pumpkin August 2021 Hope Box Kit (item #158541)

Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664)

Basic Black Cardstock

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Measurements:

Basic Black Cardstock

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

Sentiment Label die cut with the Ornate Frames Dies

Detailed Die Cut from Paper Pumpkin Kit

This card design is so simple to create and uses mostly supplies from the kit. To attach the large detailed die cut to the Basic Black cardstock card base, I used the Mini Glue Dots from the kit and attached them behind the butterfly bodies and centers of the flowers. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the exclusive stamp set in the kit with Gold embossing powder and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. To add a touch of bling, I added the sequins from the kit to the bodies of the butterflies. I love how this card turned out and how vibrant the colors look against the black background. The sentiment is so uplifting and positive and fits perfectly with the card design. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to experiment with the supplies in this kit to create your own unique projects. Whether you choose to create projects in the kit or explore creating your own projects, Paper Pumpkin is a wonderful, stress-free way to enjoy some creative therapy.

Ink. Stamp. Share. July Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share July Showcase Blog Hop as we showcase the projects we are currently working on. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you to get creative. 

One of the things I love about a new catalog, is participating in catalog swaps. It is where you swap card designs with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and in return you get a bunch of different cards that are great for providing inspiration and ideas for the demonstrators and their customers. The card design I am sharing today is a card I created for a New Catalog Card Swap I participated in recently. I chose to use the beautiful Hand-Penned Petals Bundle and combined it with the lovely Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to create this pretty clean and simple card design. I was inspired by a card design that I saw on Lyssa Zwolanek's blog and I made changes to create my own design. I chose to use several of the new 2021-2023 In Colors including Polished Pink, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. 

Products Used:

Hand-Penned Petals Bundle (item #155492) New

Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder (item #155428) New

Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664)

Polished Pink Cardstock

Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder

Evening Evergreen Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with the Ornate Frames Dies

Scalloped Edge Border die cut with the Penned Flowers Dies

I love the vibrant color combination I chose for this card design and the wonderful floral embossed background adds lovely texture to the design. I stamped the floral design with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the right side of the Basic White layer and colored the image with Polished Pink, Soft Succulent and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Markers. I attached the die cut scalloped edge border to the back of the focal layer and added it to the front of the card. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder and die cut it with one of the small dies from the Ornate Frames Dies. I attached it to the left side of the Basic White layer with Stampin' Dimensionals and colored two small Basic Pearls with the Light Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blend Marker to embellish the label. To finish off the card design, I tied a small knot with a piece of Polished Pink Open Weave ribbon and attached it to the stem of the flowers with a Mini Glue Dot. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own wonderful projects to share with family and friends. The new 2021-2023 In Colors work beautifully together and Stampin' Up! has a wonderful range of coordinating products to help take the stress out of creating.

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for the month of June. You will have the opportunity to visit with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their beautiful Thank You cards to help inspire you to get creative. 

Today I have created a clean and simple card design using the retiring Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I love the gorgeous designs in this paper pack and the paper is really the star of the show.

This combination of products is a wonderful way to create beautiful Thank You cards to show people how much you appreciate them.
