We Create January Blog Hop Very Last Chance Plus Sneak Peeks

Welcome to the We Create January Blog Hop as we start off the New Year with the theme "Last Chance Plus Sneak Peeks". With just a few days left to take advantage of the great savings from the Last Chance July-December Mini Catalog Retirement List, we have decided to combine some of our retiring favorites with Sneak Peeks from the new catalogs that will launch January 5th. It's a great opportunity to see how you can combine something old with something new to spark your creativity.

To celebrate the start of 2023, I decided to create a beautiful Wedding card, combining retiring products from the Splendid Day Suite with the new Something Fancy Bundle that will be available beginning January 5th, in the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. I love the simple elegance of the lovely foil designs in the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and I think it works beautifully with the fonts in the sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set. I also feel like this sentiment applies to this time of year as we look forward to the New Year and all that it brings us.

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

This pretty clean and simple card is easy to create and works well for so many special occasions. I love that the sentiments in the Something Fancy stamp set cover so many of the cards that I create on a regular basis and the coordinating Something Fancy Dies means that I have the right sized dies available to die cut my sentiments without having to search through my stash. The Fresh Freesia foil paper is the star of the show for this card design and I accented it with detailed leaves die cuts from Soft Sea Foam cardstock to help step up the layout. The Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon is so soft and is perfect for tying bows as well as an accent underneath the sentiment label. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with White embossing powder onto the Fresh Freesia cardstock label and added it to a Basic White label to help it stand out. The Basic Rhinestones add that touch of bling without being too over the top. I hope that you will check out the retiring products from the Splendid Day Suite and take advantage of the great savings on several of the products I used today. They are available only while supplies last or until January 4th when this sale ends.

Kylie's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop November 2022

I am so happy that you are joining me today to hop along with Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my card earlier this month and helping me to achieve this wonderful honor. You will have the opportunity to visit with Kylie Bertucci and the Top 10 Winners for November as they share wonderful new projects with the theme "Thank You". This amazing group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world, will help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects to show your appreciation for the people in your life.

Today I decided to create my card design with the Splendid Thoughts Bundle and coordinating Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. It's hard to believe that these products will be retiring next month, so I decided to show them some love before they disappear. One of my favorite things about these products is that they work well for occasions throughout the year and the gorgeous foil designs in the designer series paper help to create elegant project designs. I decided to combine the pretty foil design with the coordinating reverse side of the designer series paper to create this elegant Thank You card.

Products Used:

Splendid Thoughts Bundle (item #159677)

Go To Greetings stamp set (item #158763)

Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #159666)

Fabulous Frames Dies (item #159163)

Calypso Coral Cardstock (item #122925)

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock (item #146988)

Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink Pad (item #147102)

Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154902)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallics Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels (item #158987)

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (item #144108)

Measurements:

Calypso Coral Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Sentiment Label die cut with the Fabulous Frames Dies

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock

Two stamped & die cut stems using the Splendid Thoughts Bundle

Half Circle die cut with the Splendid Stems Dies

Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" (non- foil side)

1 Detailed Framed die cut with the Fabulous Frames Dies (foil side)

1 Detailed Stem die cut with the Splendid Stems Dies (foil side)

4 Detailed Corners die cut with the Fabulous Frames Dies (foil side)

This elegant card design may look complicated but it is really quite simple to assemble. The great thing about this card design is that the detailed die cut pieces have been cut from the same sheet of designer series paper as the card front. I attached the four detailed corners to each of the corners of the card front and attached it to the Calypso card base. For the detailed frame, I attached it using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on the top and bottom of the frame, centering it in the middle of the card front. To create the stems, I stamped the outline image twice and then stamped the coordinating leaves image to add depth and dimension, using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink. Note that the leaves image doesn't line up with the outline image, so don't worry about trying to get it perfectly aligned. I attached the Soft Sea Foam half circle die cut so that it lines up inside the bottom of the frame and attached it using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I did trim about 1/4" off the bottom edge of the half circle for my design, but you can choose to use the full die cut if you wish. Once I die cut the leaves with the coordinating die, I attached them underneath the top of the half circle using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals behind several of the leaves. For the detailed stem, I added it on top of the Soft Sea Foam leaves, centering it to complete the design. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Go To Greetings stamp set using Copper embossing powder to coordinate with the foil details. I added it to the card front using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it on top of the frame and half circle. To complete the card design, I added several small Iridescent Pearls, that I colored with the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker, to the sentiment label and card front for a touch of bling. This is not a color combination that I would normally choose to create with and I really love how it turned out. The great thing about Stampin' Up! designer series paper is that it provides you with a range of coordinating colors to help you create your own beautiful projects and takes the stress out of creating.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own wonderful Thank You cards to share with the people you care about. There are so many options to explore. Don't forget, the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog Last Chance List will be available December 1st and all retiring products will be available while supplies last.

Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop Blending Technique Challenge

Welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations August Blog Hop and this month we are showcasing Blending Techniques. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore these wonderful techniques to create your own unique projects.

For my blending technique, I thought I would share a fun and simple way to use your Stampin' Blends Markers to create an ombre style background. Using Pool Party and Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends Markers, I started with the light Pool Party at the top of the Basic White cardstock layer and colored to the center of the cardstock. I then colored the second half of the Basic White cardstock with Light Fresh Freesia down towards the bottom of the layer. To create the ombre look, I added some Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends to the bottom half of the Light Pool Party and the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends to the top half of the Fresh Freesia. To blend the colors and remove any harsh lines, I used Light Pool Party to gently color over the join for the light and dark Pool Party and the same with the Light Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends Marker to blend the line between the light and dark Fresh Freesia. This technique can be used with any color combination and is a wonderful way to create a pretty background quickly.

(die cut two detailed leaves die cuts from center of layer)

Basic White Cardstock

Focal Layer - 3" x 4 1/2"

Sentiment Label die cut with Stylish Shapes Dies

This pretty card design is a CASE of a card I created at a recent Stampin' Up! event and I thought I would change up a few elements to give it a fresh new look. I die cut two of the detailed leaves from the center of the Fresh Freesia Foil designer series paper using the Splendid Stems Dies. This is a great way to conserve your pretty paper. I layered the designer series paper panel onto the Soft Sea Foam card base at an angle. For the ombre background layer, I stamped the leaves image with Pool Party Classic ink over the Pool Party section and then stamped the same image with Fresh Freesia Classic ink over the Fresh Freesia section, to create a beautiful tone on tone design. I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto the banner label and attached a piece of the Soft Sea Foam Ribbon, folder in half, to the back of the label and attached the detailed Fresh Freesia Foil Die Cuts with Mini Glue Dots to the back of the label. I then added the sentiment label to the focal layer with Stampin' Dimensionals over the join between the Fresh Freesia and Pool Party colored sections. I then added the focal layer to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it was centered over the Fresh Freesia Foil layer. To complete the card design, I added several Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a touch of bling. This soft and pretty card design would work well for a variety of occasions throughout the year.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to try this blending technique to create your own wonderful projects. There are so many amazing possibilities to explore.
