Around The World On Wednesday August Blog Hop Let's Shake Things Up

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday August Blog Hop as we shake things up with our projects this month. You will be visiting with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as we share our ideas and projects to help inspire you. 

 For my interpretation of this month's theme, I decided to shake things up by trying something new that I had always wanted to try that was outside my comfort zone. Over the past few weeks I have been seeing a lot of slimline card designs and I thought they looked like something fun to try but just hadn't gotten around to it. I decided to use products from the Ornate Garden Suite from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog for my design as they were products I had ordered during the preorder back in May but hadn't really had a chance to explore their full potential. In particular, the beautiful Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #152488) has been rather intimidating and I thought that this card would be the perfect opportunity to use this beautiful gold foil paper. 

 To create this card design, I started with a 8 1/2" x 7" piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock and I scored it at 3 1/2" along the 7" side to create a long slim card base. I added a 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of the pretty gold foil pattern of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper for the background. I added a piece of Whisper White 1/2" Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (item #153620) around the center of the designer series paper layer and attached it to the card base. 

The sentiment layers were created using the Ornate Layers Dies (item #152726) and the sentiment was heat embossed onto the center label with Gold Embossing Powder. I combined Thick Whisper White cardstock and Gold Foil to create the different layers to coordinate with the designer series paper. 

 To finish off the card design, I tied a bow with the Whisper White 1/2" Faux Linen Ribbon and added it to the left side of the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots. This ribbon is wonderful for tying bows and I love how the bow completes the design. I am so happy with this card design and I am glad I overcame my fear of cutting up this pretty paper. I can't wait to create more cards with the other designs in this beautiful paper pack. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you enjoyed my card design and I hope it inspires you to try something new with your creative projects and overcome your fear of cutting up pretty designer series paper.

Ink. Stamp. Share May Blog Hop New Catalog Sneak Peek

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. May Blog Hop as we give you a Sneak Peek of new products from the New 2020-2022 Annual Catalog, which launches on June 3rd. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their project ideas to help inspire you. 

 One of my favorite suites from the new Annual Catalog is the Flowers for Every Season Suite. It features beautiful florals combined with the amazing new 2020-2022 In Colors to help create wonderful projects. For my card design today, I chose to use one of the cards from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack (item #153058) combined with the coordinating Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (item # 153101). The card base I chose features the beautiful new In Color, Just Jade, and the 3"x 4" card design coordinates perfectly with this color. 

 To create this card, I added the Memories & More card to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it. Up. I tied a small bow with the pretty Misty Moonlight Bakers Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack (item #153620) and attached it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. 

For the sentiment label, I stamped the image from the Ornate Thanks stamp set (item #149471) onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using the Misty Moonlight Classic ink spot from the May Paper Pumpkin kit. I used the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch (item #152883) to create the decorate ends to the sentiment label and attached it to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the card, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to the sentiment label for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to explore the wonderful new products coming soon in the new Annual Catalog. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you with your creative projects.
