The Joy of Sets May Floral Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with The Joy of Sets May Blog Hop and our theme this month is Floral. You will be visiting with talented crafters from around the world as they share their beautiful projects to help inspire you to get creative. 
 Today I am sharing a card created using the beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #149500) paired with the Forever Lovely stamp set (item #148624) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. I love how the pretty paper does all the work to create this clean and simple card design.
 To create the is card, I chose Merry Merlot cardstock for the card base and attached a piece of the beautiful paper to create the background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Forever Lovely stamp set onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Gold Embossing Powder and then used a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690) to create the pretty label. I attached the label to the card front and added two Basic Pearls that I colored with the Light Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Marker, to finish off the design. This card is easy to mail and works for a variety of occasions. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore creating your own beautiful projects.

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop October 2019

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program's Monthly Blog Hop. This is our first hop for the new training year and I am excited to participate with all these amazing, talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators as we share our creative projects to help inspire you. I hope that you will enjoy our blog hop today. 
 Today's card design has a wonderful "back to nature" feel to it using the beautiful Nature's Beauty stamp set (item #150528) from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. This amazing stamp set has a special meaning as it is part of Stampin' Up!'s Making a Difference program, with $3 from every stamp set sold going to designated Mental Health Organizations globally. Mental Health has always been something very important and personal for me and my family, so this stamp set has special meaning. 
 I wanted to create a card design that would be suitable as either a masculine or feminine card, so I paired the Nature's Beauty stamp set with the lovely Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #149500) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. The designs in this paper pack have a wonderful organic feel and I love the texture and variety of patterns available. I chose this leaf background design for my card as it gave me a feeling of peace which I thought worked well with the stamp set. 
The card base was created using Early Espresso cardstock and I added the layer of designer series paper to create the background for the card front. I stamped the deer image using Versamark ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and heat embossed it with Copper Embossing powder. I die cut the image using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) and layered it onto a larger piece of Early Espresso cardstock die cut from the same set of dies. 
To add some texture to the card design, I added a piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon (item #140487) to the designer series paper, fraying the ends for a more rustic look. I attached the focal image over the top of the burlap ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals to add dimension to the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (item #151331) with Copper Embossing powder onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock. I punched it out using the Classic Label Punch (item #141491) and added a matte to frame this label by punching out another label from Early Espresso cardstock and cutting it in half. I attached each half to the back of the Very Vanilla Label using Snail Adhesive so that the ends extended past the sentiment label. To add a touch of bling, I colored two Basic Pearls with the Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends Marker and attached them to the sentiment. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the sentiment to the card front below the focal image. 
This card design can be used for a variety of occasions and I love the peaceful feeling to this design. I hope that you have enjoyed my ideas today and perhaps inspired you to create your own projects.
