Colour Combo April Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Colour Combo April Blog Hop as we explore creating projects with this month's color combination of Cherry Cobbler, So Saffron and Old Olive. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

As we count down to the end of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, I thought I would share this beautiful birthday card created with the To A Wild Rose stamp set (item #149452) and the coordinating Wild Rose Dies (item #149547). Sadly they are both retiring and can be found on the Last Chance Products Sale List and are available while supplies last. For the sentiment, I chose to use the Happy Thoughts stamp set (item #154507) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I love the beautiful fonts and lovely sentiments in this stamp set that make it a must have for creating beautiful cards for a variety of occasions.

So Saffron Cardstock

5 1/4" x 4" - Embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder

This clean and simple card has a classical elegance to the design. I colored the rose image with the Cherry Cobbler and So Saffron Stampin' Blends Combo Packs, using the Light and Dark So Saffron to add highlights to the petals and the center of the rose. For the leaves, I used the Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. I embossed the So Saffron cardstock layer with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the background and added the sentiment label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I added the rose and leaves to the card front, overlapping them over the top left corner of the sentiment label. For a touch of bling, I added Gold Glitter Enamel Dots and Clear Wink of Stella to the rose for a touch of shimmer. This card design would work well for a variety of occasions to send to the people you care about.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps to inspire you to explore creating with this color combination. The Stampin' Blends Markers are a wonderful way to add color to your stamped images to step up your card designs.

We Create April Blog Hop The Animal Kingdom

 

Welcome to the We Create April Blog Hop as we showcase projects with the theme "Animal Kingdom". I love animals and love creating projects featuring animals, so I am so excited about this month's theme. You will love the amazing projects that our fabulous Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have to share with you.

One of my favorite animal stamp sets from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is the Wildly Happy stamp set (item #149408). I just love the beautiful images and the fonts for the sentiments that help you to create wonderful baby cards. Today I paired the foxes image with one of the designs from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (item #152492) to create this organic card design. This card would work well for either a boy or girl or as a way to congratulate a couple who have just announced they are pregnant and don't know the gender of the baby.

Matte Layer - 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"

Sentiment Label punched with the Classic Label Punch

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock

Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Ovals die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

This card is simple to create and is really all about layers. The different layers of paper and color help to add texture and dimension to the design without adding a lot of bulk. I combined the Cajun Craze and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Markers to create areas of light and shade when coloring the stamped image. I used the Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker to add a shadow around the foxes. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the For You image onto a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock and used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out. I layered it onto the oval sentiment and I love the contrast between the Basic White and Shaded Spruce labels. As you may have noticed, I used a lot of products that are retiring from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to create this card design. So many of these products are favorites of mine and I love using them to create my card designs and I will be sorry to see them go. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hop that my card design will help inspire you to explore this wonderful theme and all the amazing animals products that Stampin' Up! has to offer. I love the way that Stampin' Up!'s products coordinate to help create beautiful cards without the stress.

Colour Combo March Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Colour Combo March Blog Hop as we explore this month's color combination of Mango Melody, Petal Pink and Terracotta Tile. You will have the chance to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone. 

The colors for this month's challenge led me to the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle (item #158631). These colors are so sunny and cheerful and fit perfectly with this cute birthday chick image and the die cut birthday sentiment. I wanted to keep the design simple, so I chose not to use any embellishments and instead used the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775) to add some soft texture to the background. 

Products Used:

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle (item #158631)

Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775)

Terracotta Tile Cardstock (item #150884)

Petal Pink Cardstock (item #146985)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Mango Melody Cardstock (item #146989)

Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (item #132708)

Mango Melody Classic Ink Pad (item #147093)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154888)

Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154893)

2019-2021 In Color Stampin' Write Marker Assortment

Stamping Sponges (item #141337)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Terracotta Tile Cardstock

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

Petal Pink Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5 1/4" x 4"

Mango Melody Cardstock

Birthday sentiment die cut with Birthday Chick Dies

Basic White Cardstock

Background Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Small piece for Chick image stamped and die cut with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

This clean and simple design is easy to create for a fun birthday card. The layering of the different colors of cardstock creates a frame for the focal image and sentiment. I colored the chick and cupcake with the Petal Pink and Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers and the Cajun Craze Stampin' Write Marker and die cut it with the coordinating die. I love how the Mango Melody cardstock makes the Happy Birthday die cut sentiment pop against the Basic White cardstock background. The Subtle 3D Embossing Folder adds wonderful texture to the background without overpowering the card design. I sponged a small area with Mango Melody Classic ink and a sponge to create the look of the ground. Using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, I colored the sponged area, the images and the Happy Birthday die cut to add a touch of shimmer to finish off the design. 

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

3D Paper Trimmer February Blog Hop Fun Fold Card

Welcome to the 3D Paper Trimmer February Blog Hop as we showcase Fun Fold card ideas to help inspire you. This blog hop features talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects. 

It's hard to believe that today is the last day of Sale-a-bration. These past two months have gone by so quickly and I realized that I hadn't shared a project created with the beautiful Berry Blessings Bundle (item #157613), which is a Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order (US$100). The combination of the beautiful Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper with the wonderful images and sentiments in the Berry Blessings stamp set are perfect for creating pretty projects for a variety of occasions. I love the simplicity of this Fun Fold card design and the way it showcases this bundle. It is easy to mail and fits in a regular medium size envelope. 

Products Used:

Measurements:

Silver Foil Sheet

Circle die cut with Layering Circles Dies

This Fun Fold is simple to create and is easy to assemble with just a few supplies. I stamped the back Basic White cardstock layer and the inside card flap layer with the stamp images and sentiment from the Berry Blessings stamp set. I used Rich Razzleberry Classic ink for the sentiment and the outline image for the berries and used the 2nd Generation technique (stamping on a scrap piece once and then stamping onto the lined image to obtain a lighter color) to fill in the berries. I used Granny Apple Green Classic ink to stamp the stems for the berries. I then embossed the back layer of Basic White cardstock with the Subtle 3D Embossing folder to add subtle texture. I attached the stamped layer inside the card flap and added the designer series paper layer to the front of the card flap. For the front sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Rich Razzleberry Classic ink onto the Stitched Circle die cut and layered it onto the Silver Foil Circle die cut. To embellish the sentiment, I colored three of the small Basic Pearls with the Light Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the bottom of the sentiment circle label. I decided not to add any ribbon or other embellishments but instead opted for the clean and simple look. This card design would work well with any of other beautiful designs in this designer series paper pack.

GSF January Blog Hop Meant To Be

Welcome to a New Year of hopping with the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop and this month our theme is Meant To Be. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects to help inspire you. 

For my card design today, I decided to use the beautiful new Always In My Heart Bundle (item #156194) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. I love hearts and I love detailed dies, so creating this card with this new bundle was a lot of fun. The detailed dies layer beautifully and I used one of the dies from the Be Mine Stitched Dies (item #151814) to create the heart for the sentiment in this design. For this card, I chose to use Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam with a touch of Gold to step up it up.  

Products Used:

Always In My Heart Bundle (item #156194)

Be Mine Stitched Dies (item #151814)

Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775)

Petal Pink Cardstock (item #146985)

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock (item #131198)

So Saffron Cardstock (item #105118)

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock (item #146988)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallic Pearls (item #146282)

Measurements:

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

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock Layer 

- 5 1/4" x 4" (Embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder)

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock - For detailed floral heart die cut with Floral Heart Dies

So Saffron Cardstock - For detailed flowers die cut with Floral Heart Dies

Petal Pink Cardstock 

- For Heart die cut with the Be Mine Stitched Dies, stamped with sentiment

- For flowers die cut with the Floral Heart Dies

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock - For small hearts die cut with Floral Hearts Dies

This card design showcases the variety of dies available in the Floral Hearts Dies, which is a part of the Always In My Heart Bundle. I love that the small detailed flowers match up with the flowers on the detailed floral heart and it gave me the ability to add color and texture to the design. The background layer has been embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to add subtle texture to the design.   The sentiment from the Always In My Heart stamp set was heat embossed onto a Petal Pink heart that was die cut using one of the heart dies from the Be Mine Stitched Dies. I was so happy that this die fit inside the floral heart die cut in a way that allowed the background to create a border around it. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the heart to add more dimension to the design and embellished it with three of the small hearts die cut from Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I popped the middle heart up with a Mini Stampin' Dimensional and added Gold Metallic Pearls to the hearts for a touch of bling. This card design is a wonderful way to show someone you care and brighten their day.

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 projects and explore the new products in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog.
