Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Team Blog Hop May 2020

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Team Blog Hop for the month of May. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who support each other and our businesses while learning new techniques and ideas that we can share with you all. We will be sharing project ideas featuring current Stampin' Up! products to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.

Today's card design has a more masculine feel to it. I created this design using the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (item #149497) to add texture to the background and combined it with the Sea of Textures stamp set (item #151267) and the coordinating Under The Sea Dies (item #151784) from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. All of these wonderful products are on the Last Chance Retirement List and are available while supplies last.

For this card design, I chose to use Mint Macaron cardstock for the card base and added a layer of the Pretty Peacock designer series paper from the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper to create the background. I love this color combination and I think it works well for a seaside theme.

To create the focal design of this card, I die cut a detailed fishing net using one of the dies from the Under The Sea Dies from Soft Suede cardstock and attached it to the card front with Snail Adhesive. I also die cut a large Sand Dollar using the die from the same die set from Very Vanilla cardstock and attached a circle of Grapefruit Grove cardstock behind it punched out with the 1 1/4" Circle Punch and trimmed around the edge.

To create the sentiment, I cut a strip of 1"x 4" Pretty Peacock cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment from the Sea of Textures stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder. I layered this strip onto a 1 1/4" x 4" Mint Macaron cardstock and attached it to the card front over the center of the fishing net. I attached the Sand Dollar to the sentiment strip with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I love how this color combination works together to create this beautiful masculine card design. It's important to remember that the men in our lives need our support too and I feel like this sentiment is very appropriate for what we are all going through.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects.

We Create Masculine Blog Hop

It's time for the We Create Blog Hop and this month we have a Masculine theme. Creating masculine cards can often be challenging, so I hope the ideas we are sharing this month will help inspire you with your own creations for the men in your life.

I chose the new Sea of Textures Bundle from the New 2018-2019 Annual Catalog that goes live today at Noon Mountain Time. This amazing bundle contains the Sea of Textures stamp set and the coordinating Under the Sea Framelits dies and when you purchase them as a bundle, you save 10%.

For this card, I chose a Crumb Cake card base and added a layer of Early Espresso and Coastal Cabana. I embossed the Coastal Cabana cardstock layer with the Seaside Texture Impressions Embossing Folder. The net was die cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and the small fish from Pumpkin Pie cardstock. The seaweed was die cut from scraps of Pear Pizzazz and Tranquil Tide and the coral was die cut from Calypso Coral.

The sentiment is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set and I heat embossed it with Copper embossing powder onto Very Vanilla cardstock with the Tailored Tag punch and matted it with Early Espresso cardstock punched with the same punch. I then layered it onto a piece of Copper Foil punched out with the Everyday Label punch.

On the inside of the card, I matted the Very Vanilla cardstock layer onto a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and attached to the inside of the card base. Using stamps from the Sea of Textures stamp set, I decorated the Very Vanilla cardstock layer and heat embossed the sentiment with Copper embossing powder.

I really loved using this new bundle for this card and creating a colorful card design with lots of texture. Too often we think of masculine cards as dull and boring, so it was fun to think outside the box and create with bright colors. I hope that this card will encourage you to explore different color combinations for masculine cards.

Colour Combo May Blog Hop

It's time to have some fun with a New Colour Combo Blog Hop. For the month of May our colour combination is Pool Party, Peekaboo Peach and Pear Pizzazz. Try saying that 3 times fast. You have probably just visited Cheryl's amazing blog or perhaps you are beginning your blog hop journey here with me. Either way, I hope that you will enjoy this blog hop and that the projects we are sharing will help inspire you with your own projects.

I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek of the new bundle, Sea of Textures, from the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog that launches June 1st. I love the sea, so as soon as I saw this stamp set and coordinating framelits die set, I just knew I had to have it.

This month's color combination worked beautifully to create this under the sea card design and I was able to incorporate the colors using Stampin' Up!'s Classic inks and coordinating cardstock. The card base was created using Pool Party cardstock and I added a layer of Peekaboo Peach to matte the layer of Whisper White cardstock for the design. I used the Layering Circles Framelits dies to die cut circle from the Whisper White cardstock layer and then I gently sponged the circle with Pool Party Classic ink using a Sponge Dauber. I stamped the seaweed onto the sponged circle using Pear Pizzazz Classic ink to create a soft background.

I created the octopus by stamping the image onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Peekaboo Peach Classic ink. I used the coordinating framelit die from the Under the Sea framelits and also die cut the seaweed, coral and sand dollar die cuts with the coordinating dies from scrap cardstock. I stamped the net image onto the Whisper White cardstock layer with Pear Pizzazz Classic ink. The sentiment is from the stamp set, Picture Perfect Birthday, and I stamped it with Pool Party Classic ink.

To assemble the card I used Snail Adhesive to attach the octopus and other elements to the Whisper White cardstock layer. Using Stampin' Dimensionals I attached the Whisper White cardstock layer to the layer of Peekaboo Peach cardstock and placed the sponged circle inside the opening with Snail adhesive. To finish assembling the card, I used Snail adhesive to attach the layers to the Pool Party cardstock card base. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped Octopus image and the die cuts to add a little shimmer.

I had a lot of fun creating this card with this month's color palette. I hope that you have enjoyed my card design and I hope it will inspire you to try this color combination for your own projects.
