2020 Kre8tors August Blog Hop Anniversary

I am so happy you could join us today for the 2020 Kre8tors August Blog Hop as we showcase Anniversary projects to help inspire you. You will be visiting with amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects. 
 For my Anniversary card, I decided to create a masculine design. I combined the Embrace Each Moment stamp set (item #152594) with the Stitched Be Mine Dies (item #151814) in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. For the background, I wanted a rustic feel so I chose one of the designs from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (item #152494) with a weathered wood grain look. 
 To create this card design, I started with Real Red cardstock for the card base and I added a layer of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper for the background. Using a piece of Linen Thread (item #104199), I wrapped it around the designer series paper layer twice and tied a bow on the left side of the card front. I attached the designer series paper layer to the card base with adhesive. 
The hearts were created using the Stitched Be Mine Dies and I die cut one each of Whisper White, Real Red and Silver Foil to create the two focal images. On the White cardstock heart, I stamped the hands image from the Embrace Each Moment stamp set with Early Espresso Classic ink, stamped off once on scrap paper, to lighten the outline. I colored the hands using Dark and Light Petal Pink and Ivory Stampin' Blends Markers and blended the images with the Color Lifter. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image onto the Real Red cardstock heart with Silver Embossing Powder, 
 To assemble the hearts, I adhered the Whisper White heart on the right side of the card front, over the top of the Linen Thread. I then added the Real Red scalloped heart frame around the outside of the heart. Next, I adhered the Real Red sentiment heart to the left side of the card front so that it slightly overlaps the Whisper White heart. I then added the Silver Foil scalloped heart frame around this heart. To complete the card design, I colored several Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the card front for a touch of bling. I love how this card turned out and I think it works well as a masculine Anniversary card.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights May 2020

Welcome To Kylie's May Monthly International Blog Highlights as we showcase ideas to say Thank You to the people in our lives. Now more than ever, it is so important to say Thank You to all the amazing people who help us get through each day in this challenging time. I hope that our project ideas will help inspire you to create your own special Thank You projects to give to the people in your life. 
 Today's card is a clean and simple design featuring the retiring Artfully Aware stamp set (item #149447) paired with the Stitched Be Mine Dies (item #151814). This beautiful stamp set is a special stamp set that Janet Wakeland helped design as a $1 Million Achiever, in memory of her mother who is battling Alzheimer's Disease. I wanted to design a card that would showcase the simple beauty of the images of this stamp set. 
 For this card design, I chose to use Basic Black cardstock and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the background. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink towards the bottom right side of the card front and then I embossed the layer using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775) to add texture. 
To create the focal image, I die cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the large scalloped heart die from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. I did the same thing with a piece of Basic Black cardstock to create the frame for the Whisper White cardstock heart. Using Sponges, I colored the background of the Whisper White heart. Starting with Petal Pink Classic ink, I covered the entire area of the heart and then added Flirty Flamingo Classic ink, starting at the bottom of the heart and applying color approx. 2/3 of the way up. I added Calypso Coral Classic ink to the bottom of the heart and then went back over and blended with the Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink inks to create a smooth background. I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the sponged heart to complete the design. 

 To assemble the card, I attached the card front to the card base with Snail Adhesive. I then attached the Basic Black scalloped heart frame to the card front also using Snail Adhesive and finally attached the focal image to the center of the Basic Black frame with the same adhesive. The sponging is a beautiful way to add color to an image like this and I love how it made the image pop against the black and white background. 

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope that my card design inspires you to create your own Thank You cards to send to people who have made a difference in your life.

We Create Mother May I Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create Mother May I Blog Hop as we showcase ideas to celebrate our mothers. With Mother's Day just over a week away, now is the perfect time to create your own beautiful projects to celebrate the occasion. 
 For my card design today, I chose not to use a stamp set but instead combined the Stitched Be Mine Dies (item #148527) with the Hand Lettered Prose Dies (item #149550) to create this pretty card. I chose the pretty Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #151192) to create the soft background for my card design. I love that the letters in the Hand Lettered Prose Dies gave me the ability to customize my card and the font worked beautifully with the Stitched Be Mine Dies. 
 I chose to use Petal Pink cardstock for my card base and added a layer of the floral Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper to create the background. To create the heart, I die cut one of the scalloped hearts from Petal Pink cardstock and one from Pool Party cardstock. I embossed the Pool Party cardstock heart using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder (item #149634) to add soft texture to the background and I layered it inside of the scalloped Petal Pink scalloped heart frame, attaching both to the card front with Snail Adhesive. 
To create the sentiment, I die cut two of the letter "m" and one of the letter "u" from Silver Foil using the Hand Lettered Prose Dies and attached them to the heart die cut using Snail Adhesive. I also die cut one of the detailed florals from the Stitched Be Mine Dies from Silver Foil and attached it to the bottom of the heart with Snail Adhesive. 
To complete the card design, I embellished the card front with Basic Rhinestones to add a touch of bling. I really love how this card design turned out and it is a great example of how you can create a project without using stamps and how dies can give you the opportunity to personalize your card design. The Hand Lettered Prose Dies and Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper are both on the Last Chance Retirement List, so I would recommend ordering them as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. They are such versatile products and a great addition to your crafting stash. 
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own beautiful creations for the special women in your life.
