SBTD January Blog Hop Celebration

Welcome to the Stampers By the Dozen (SBTD) January Blog Hop with our theme of Celebration. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as we showcase products and ideas to help inspire you to create your own projects. 

 For my celebration card design, I chose to create a birthday card using the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Sending You Thoughts (item #152297), which you can earn for Free with a qualifying $50 order during Sale-a-bration. I paired it with the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #152311) which is another Sale-a-bration product you can earn with a qualifying $50 order. 

 I love the combination of Basic Black, Whisper White and Gold Foil. I used Basic Black cardstock for the card base and added a layer of the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper to create the background. I die cut the swirl circle die cut from Gold Foil using the Painted Labels Dies (item #151605) and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

To create the sentiment, I die cut a label using one of the dies from the Painted Labels dies from Basic Black cardstock and heat embossed the birthday sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set with Gold Embossing Powder. I attached the label to the card using Snail adhesive on the back of one end to attach it to the Gold Foil circle and Stampin' Dimensionals on the other end to attach it to the card front. 

 For the finishing touch, I added two of the Gold flower sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins (item #151325) to the sentiment label with Mini Glue Dots to add a little bling. The Gold Foil details in this card design are great for stepping up this clean and simple card design and adding a touch of elegance. It's a great card design to help celebrate a special occasion. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore using designer series paper to step up your projects for the special people in your life. Sale-a-bration ends March 31st, so now is a great time to earning your favorite products for Free with a qualifying order.

GSF January Blog Hop Party

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (aka GSF) January Blog Hop as we celebrate the launch of the new Stampin' Up! Catalogs with a Party theme. We will be sharing projects featuring products from the new Januar-June 2020 Mini Catalog and 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog that you can order from starting today. I hope that we inspire you to create your own amazing projects for the New Year. 

 My card design features a stamp set that you might overlook at first glance going through the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. The Seriously The Best stamp set (item #151712) can be found on page 60 of the catalog and coordinates with the Seriously The Best Project Kit (item #151307), which contains supplies to create cards suitable for all occasions. Today I have paired this stamp set with the stunning Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #152311) from the 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog to create a clean and simple card design that is perfect for a special celebration.

 To create this card, I started with a Basic Black card base and added a layer of the gorgeous Gold and Basic Black striped designer series paper from the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is so beautiful that it deserves to be the star of this card design. 

For the sentiment label, I used one of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) to die cut a label from Basic Black cardstock. I love the stitched detail that these dies add to the labels that steps it up to the next level. Using the large Congrats stamp, I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder onto the Basic Black cardstock label, leaving enough room to add the smaller coordinating sentiment stamp below, which I also heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. I attached the sentiment label to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to help it stand out against the designer series paper background.

To complete this card design, I added three of the gold sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins (item #151325), that can be found on page 25 of the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog, to the sentiment label using Mini Glue Dots. I think they add just a touch of bling without overpowering the card design. 

I hope that you have enjoyed my card design and that it inspires you to look at the hidden gems in these new catalogs. I love that this card could be used as a masculine card to celebrate a milestone occasion or celebration.

We Create New Year New Products Blog Hop

Happy New Year everyone. It's time to welcome in a new year with new products from the 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog. Sale-a-bration is a wonderful time to be creative and earn Free products with qualifying orders. I hope that my card design today will help you to get excited about creating new projects as we start 2020. 

 Today's card design is a sweet clean and simple card to send to someone special to let them know that you are thinking of them featuring the Little Ladybug stamp set from the Sale-a-bration Catalog. This stamp set is a special reward you can earn for Free when you host a qualifying party during Sale-a-bration. I have paired it with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder which is a part of the Power of Hope Bundle (item #152318) that you can earn for Free with a qualifying order. If you would like to learn more about these products, please contact me for details. 

 I chose to use a Basic Black cardstock base and added a layer of Real Red cardstock that I embossed with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder to add texture. The focal layer was created using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) by die cutting the larger layer from Basic Black cardstock and the smaller layer from Whisper White cardstock. 

I stamped the ladybug image and sentiment from the Little Ladybug stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and I colored the ladybug image with Real Red, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral and Basic Black Stampin' Blends Markers. To embellish the label, I added two of the small black flower sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins (item #151325) from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog using Mini Glue Dots. I colored two of the small Basic Pearls using the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the center of each sequin. 

The Little Ladybug stamp set is so versatile and I love the variety of sentiments and images that provide so many wonderful possibilities. I hope that you have enjoyed my simple card design today and I hope that it inspires you to create your own cards to send out to the people you love.
