Around The World On Wednesday Blog Hop The World Around Us

It's time to hop along with The Around The World On Wednesday October Blog Hop and this month our theme is "The World Around Us". You will have the opportunity to visit talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their creative projects and ideas to help inspire you.

For my card, I decided to create a mini sampler design featuring the colors and elements of Fall. I used the Beautiful Autumn Bundle and the Gather Together Bundle from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I wanted to create windows with a different Fall element displayed. I used the Pick A Hoot Dies to create the window openings.

Products Used:

Beautiful Autumn Bundle (item #155189)

Gather Together Bundle (item #153036)

Peek A Hoot Die (item #153573)

Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775)

Banner Year Bundle (item #155214)

Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (item #151331)

Early Espresso cardstock

Cinnamon Cider cardstock

Crumb Cake cardstock

Very Vanilla cardstock

Cinnamon Cider Classic Ink Pad

Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad

Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink Pad

Mango Melody Classic Ink Pad

Stampin' Blends Markers

Basic Pearl Jewels

Measurements:

Early Espresso cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored 4 1/4")

Cinnamon Cider cardstock layer - 5 1/4" X 4"

Crumb Cake cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

(die cut with Peek A Hoot Dies and embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder)

Very Vanilla cardstock layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Very Vanilla cardstock for stamped images

This card design was a challenge for me and had me thinking outside of my comfort zone. I love the idea that each window shows a different element of Fall, as it reflects the changing view outside of the world outside. It was fun to combine these different bundles with the warm colors of this season.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to look at the world around you and use it as inspiration for your own projects. There are so many wonderful possibilities to choose from.

Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Monthly Blog Hop September 2020

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop for September 2020. This is my last time hopping with this wonderful group of talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as our year comes to an end for this amazing training program. I have learned so much from Kylie and Bruno as well as the many talented people who have shared their knowledge and creativity over the past year. I hope that you will enjoy the projects we have to share during our blog hop.

Today I decided to share a card design that uses the Gnome For The Holidays stamp set (item #153322) and give it a Halloween twist. I paired it with the beautiful Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (item #153517) and 1 1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon (item #153550) and had my gnome friend dress up as a wizard for trick or treating. To coordinate with the spiders in the background, I added the spider web die cut from Basic Black Glitter Paper (item #153518) using the Peek A Hoot Dies (item #153573) for a touch of sparkle. These amazing products can be found in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog and I love how you can mix and match them to create fun designs for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:
Gnome For The Holidays stamp set (item #153322)
Little Treats stamp set (item #153376)
Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper (item #153517)
Peek A Hoot Dies (item #153573)
Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)
Basic Black Glitter Paper (item #153518)
1 1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon (item #153550)
Iridescent Pearls (item #153549)
Stampin' Blends Markers

Measurements:
Pretty Peacock cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
(scored at 4 1/4")
Magic In This Night DSP layer - 5 1/4" x 4"
Pretty Peacock cardstock for scalloped oval die cuts
Whisper White cardstock for gnome stamped image
and oval die cut
Metallic Mesh Ribbon approx 5 1/2"

The gnome image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin' Blends Markers. I chose colors that would give the gnome the appearance of being a wizard using Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate and added Clear Wink of Stella to add a touch of shimmer. I sponged the background oval using Sponge Daubers and a combination of Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy Classic inks to create a eerie night sky. I added the die cut spider web to the top of the layered ovals with adhesive and used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to add the gnome to the oval so that it overlaps the spider web. The sentiment was heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Basic Black cardstock and die cut with the Layering Ovals Dies. I love how the Metallic Mesh Ribbon adds texture to the card design without being bulky. This was so much fun taking what would normally be considered a Christmas stamp set and using it for an alternative holiday. I can't wait to see what other alternative occasions I can use this stamp set for.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you have enjoyed my card design and I hope that it inspires you to get creative and explore new opportunities with your own projects.

GSF August Blog Hop Favorite Bundle

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) August Blog Hop as we showcase our favorite bundles from the current Stampin' Up! catalogs. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

It's so hard for me to pick a favorite bundle, but I must admit that I fell in love with the Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208) from the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, the moment I laid eyes on it. The images are adorable and the sentiments are so cute, how can anyone resist. For today's design, I decided to create a Christmas card with this bundle and paired it with the new Winter Snow Embossing Folder (item #153577), which is part of the new Snowflake Splendor Suite in the new mini catalog.

I chose Balmy Blue cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the background, that I embossed using the new Winter Snow Embossing Folder, to add subtle texture. To create the main focal image, I die cut a circle from Whisper White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies (item #151770). I stamped the owl couple image from the Have A Hoot stamp set (item #153389) onto the circle using Smoky Slate Classic ink to provide the background image and make it easier to line up the die cut images. On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the owl couple image a second time, but this time I used Early Espresso Classic ink. I colored the images using Light Crumb Cake and Light Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends Markers to color the owls and Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers to color the leaves. For the background, I went over the snowflakes with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Marker to help them stand out.

The next step was to die cut the owl couple and the mistletoe with the coordinating Peek A Hoot Dies (item #153573) and added them to the design with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. Using a slightly larger circle die, I die cut a Balmy Blue circle to layer behind the focal image. I attached the focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Using the new Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon (item #153548), I tied a bow and added it to the top of the circle at the top of the mistletoe with a Mini Glue Dot. I colored three of the small Basic Pearls with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the mistletoe for a pop of color.

To create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Balmy Blue Classic ink onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out with one of the small dies from the Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771). I layered it with a slightly larger oval die cut from Balmy Blue cardstock using the stamp dies. I attached the sentiment label to the card base with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the sentiment, I die cut two of the leaves from Old Olive cardstock using the Peek A Hoot Dies and tucked them underneath the sentiment oval. I embellished them by coloring three more small Basic Pearls that I also colored with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker. I love the clean and simple feel of this card design. There are so many wonderful images in the Have A Hoot bundle and I can't wait to create more projects with it. Remember, when you order the bundle, you save 10%.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design inspires you to explore the wonderful bundles available from Stampin' Up! to create your own projects.

Ink. Stamp. Share. July Blog Hop Other Celebration

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. July Blog Hop as we explore other celebrations besides birthdays. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects to help inspire you.

For my celebration, I chose to focus on Halloween with the new Have A Hoot Bundle (item #155208) in the upcoming August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, which launches August 4th. I paired it with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder (item #153578) that can also be found in the new catalog and I love the texture it adds to the background.

I chose Pumpkin Pie cardstock for my card base and added a layer of Basic Black cardstock that I embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder to create this wonderfully detailed background. It's hard to see in the photos, but I am already in love with this new embossing folder and can't wait to use it on more projects. Using the labels die from the Peek A Hoot Dies, I die cut the openings in the Basic Black card front to create windows for my images to "peek" through.

To create the background for the images, I used a layer of Whisper White cardstock the same size as the Basic Black cardstock layer and using a pencil, I traced a faint outline for each window onto the Whisper White layer. I then stamped the two larger owl images onto the Whisper White cardstock layer using Memento Tuxedo Black ink so that they lined up inside the two larger windows. I colored the branches using the Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Markers Combo and colored the background of all three windows with the Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencil from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 pack (item #149014). I used a Blender Pen to smooth out the pencil lines to create a soft watercolor look for the background. I also used the Crushed Curry Watercolor Pencil from the same set, to add a little light around the spider image and smoothed it out with the Blender Pen.

The owls were stamped a second time onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and I colored each of the images from the Have A Hoot stamp set (item #153389) using a variety of colors of Stampin' Blends Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies from the Peek A Hoot Dies (item #153573). I attached the Whisper White layer behind the Basic Black layer so that the stamped backgrounds appeared through the windows. I then added the die cut images to the windows using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto a scrap of Highland Heather cardstock with White Embossing Powder and colored the embossed sentiment with the Light Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Marker to color it. I die cut the sentiment with one of the small oval dies from the Layering Ovals Dies and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals in the bottom left corner. I attached the card front to the Pumpkin Pie card base to complete the design. This bundle was one of my "Must Haves" from the new catalog and I love that it covers a variety of seasons. When you order the stamp set and coordinating dies as a bundle, you save 10%.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you enjoy my card design and it inspires you to create your own beautiful projects. Creating projects for the holidays can be so much fun and there are so many great options in the new August-December 2020 Mini Catalog to explore.
