New At SU April Blog Hop Techniques With 2020-2021 Annual Catalog Retiring Stamp Sets

Welcome to the New At SU April Blog Hop as we say goodbye to our favorite retiring products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share wonderful techniques to help inspire you to create your own wonderful projects.

Today I am sharing a version of the Scrappy Strip technique using a variety of strips of designer series paper in shades of purple to create a fun background. This technique is a great way to use up your scraps that you may have laying around, left over from other projects. I paired this technique with a retiring favorite, the Dandelion Wishes stamp set (item #151345). The wonderful thing about this technique is that you can use strips of any size and any color combination to create unique and fun designs.

Products Used:

Dandelion Wishes stamp set (item #151345) - Retiring

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323) - Retiring

Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item $152487) - Retiring

Subtles 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153072) - Retiring

2019-2021 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153071) - Retiring

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock (item #146987)

Highland Heather Cardstock (item #146986)

Purple Posy Cardstock (Retired)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

White Embossing Powder (item #109132) - Retiring

Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (item #151326)

Basic Pearl Jewels (item #144219)

Measurements:

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock

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

Strip Background - 5" x 3 3/4" (Trimmed down to 5" x 3 5/8")

Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Purple Posy Cardstock

Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Designer Series Paper Strips - Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Purple Posy

3/4" x 3 1/2" - 2 strips of each color

I love the strong contrast of colors created by this color combination and it was a fun way to use up some left over scraps I had. I arranged the strips onto the Gorgeous Grape cardstock layer before adhering them to work out the spacing. Once I adhered all the strips down, I trimmed the layer to 5" x 3 5/8" to create an even border around the strip design. The sentiment and image from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set look amazing in White embossing against the Gorgeous Grape cardstock and really stands out as a focal point for the card design. I added the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and Basic Pearls to step up the design and add a touch of bling. This design layout can be created in a variety of colors and you can change up the patterns or use cardstock to create the strips.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my fun scrappy strip technique will help inspire you to explore creating your own fun projects. It is a wonderful way to use up your paper scraps to create beautiful backgrounds.

Today I decided to create a card using the Soar Confidently stamp set (item #154531) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I love the vintage images in this stamp set and the sentiments work well for a variety of occasions. I paired it with one of the Night of Navy patterns from the retiring Neutrals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152485) to create a tailored look to my card design. I love the contrast between Night of Navy and Merry Merlot and I added Silver embossing to step up the design.

We Create March Blog Hop Cut It Out

March has arrived so let's celebrate with the We Create Cut It Out Blog Hop with our theme of using punches and die cuts to create our projects. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

Today I thought I would share a fun Birthday card created with the Zany Zebras stamp set (item #152536) combined with the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490). I loved the polka dot background of the designer series paper and it inspired me to use the stitched circles dies from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323) to create the focal image. For the sentiment, I used the Classic Label Punch to add contrast to the circles.

Products Used:

Zany Zebras stamp set (item #152536)

Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490)

Playing With Patterns Resin Dots (item #152467)

Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323)

Classic Label Punch (item #151491)

Coastal Cabana Cardstock (item #131297)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Calypso Coral Cardstock (item #122925)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Pad (item #147097)

Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pad (item #147087)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana Cardstock

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

Medium Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Coastal Cabana Cardstock

Small Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Label punched with Classic Label Punch

Basic White Cardstock

Inside Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Large Stitched Circle die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies

Sentiment Label punched with Classic Label Punch

Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper

Card Front Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

This clean and simple card is so much fun and I love the way the circles add a geometric feel to the design. The stitched detail adds texture to the circles without being overwhelming and I chose Coastal Cabana and Calypso Coral from the colors used in the designer series paper to add contrast to the design. The zebra images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiments were stamped with Coastal Cabana Classic ink to coordinate with the designer series paper. For the sentiment, I stamped the image onto Basic White cardstock and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch and then punched out another label from Calypso Coral cardstock and cut it in half. I attached it to the back of the sentiment label so that it created a frame to help the sentiment pop against the background. To embellish the card, I used the Playing With Patterns Resin Dots. I love how they resemble the polka dots in the background paper and help finish off the design.

It was fun playing with products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and revisiting old favorites. If you are looking for wonderful products to create your projects, don't forget to explore this amazing catalog for a wide variety of options suitable for all occasions.

Colour Combo February Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo February Blog Hop as we share creative projects using Flirty Flamingo, Pacific Point and Soft Sea Foam. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

For my card design, I chose to use the Sale-a-bration stamp set, A Touch Of Ink, which is a Level 2 Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. I just love the images in this stamp set and it has beautiful sentiments that make it perfect for creating wonderful cards. It's also a great stamp set for coloring and I used both the Stampin' Blends Markers and Classic ink with a Blender Pen to color the images.

Basic White Cardstock

Stitched Square die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies

Small piece for stamped butterfly from the A Touch Of Ink stamp set, fussy cut

This card used the outline images for the flowers, leaves and the butterfly to create the card design. I stamped the background of the Soft Sea Foam cardstock with the leaves image using Soft Sea Foam Classic ink for a tone on tone look. For the square, I stamped the flowers and leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Markers and then stamped the small dots image with Soft Sea Foam Classic ink to create a soft background. I layered the Basic White square onto the scalloped Pacific Point square to create a small border. For the butterfly image, I stamped it onto Basic White cardstock with Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Pacific Point Classic ink and Flirty Flamingo Classic ink with a Blender Pen. I chose this method of coloring as there is no Pacific Point Stampin' Blends Markers and I wanted to try and create the same intensity of color by layering the ink with the Blender Pen. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Pacific Point Classic ink onto a Basic White label die cut with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I added two small Basic Pearls that I colored with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker, for a touch of bling. Using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I colored over the flowers, leaves and the butterfly image to add a soft shimmer. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add the sentiment label and the butterfly to the card front, with the butterfly's legs overlapping on top of the sentiment label.

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