Ink. Stamp. Share. October Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. October Showcase Blog Hop as we share our current projects to help inspire you. Our Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas using current Stampin' Up! products to help spark your creativity.

Stampin' Up! has such beautiful designer series paper and one of my favorite things to do is to create clean and simple card designs that showcase the wonderful designs in these paper packs. My card design today is one of support for a friend who is going through a difficult time. It is a simple way to remind her that I am there for her whenever she needs me. The design I chose from the One Horse Open Sleigh 6"x6" Designer Series Paper gives me a feeling of peace and I felt that it was perfect for the card I wanted to create for my friend. With just a simple sentiment and a couple of Iridescent Rhinestones, my card is complete and ready to send to her, to hopefully provide her with some comfort.

This beautiful card is so simple to create and it is a wonderful way to create a lot of cards in a short amount of time. Simply cut and prep your card bases, card fronts and sentiments and then assemble. I chose to emboss my sentiment with White embossing powder onto the Night of Navy sentiment label to make it pop against the card front. The Iridescent Rhinestones add a touch of bling without being overwhelming, to finish off the design.

Around The World On Wednesday August Blog Hop Never Grow Up

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday August Blog Hop with our theme this month, "Never Grow Up". Our talented Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you. There are so many possibilities with this month's theme and I am excited to see what everyone creates.

No matter how old our children are, in our minds we remember when they were small and relied on us for everything and we were there world. This week, my youngest son will turn 18 and it had me thinking about how quickly time has flown by and how fast he grew up. So, when I thought about this month's theme, I wanted a card that reflected that no matter how old my children are, I am always there for them. For my card design, I chose to use the penguins image from the Sweet & Precious stamp set with one of the designs from the Stargazing Designer Series Paper. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder directly onto the designer series paper. I love the simplicity of this card design and how these products worked together.

Have you ever had an idea for a card design in your head that you just had to create? That's how I felt about this card design. I knew I wanted a starry sky for my background and the Stargazing Designer Series Paper had just what I was looking for. I stamped the penguins image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored the image with Stampin' Blends Markers. Next, I fussy cut the image out and then colored the edge and open space around the penguins using the Light Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Marker. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder towards the top left corner. I wanted to spotlight the penguins, while still allowing the background to show through, so I die cut a large Vellum cardstock circle and attached it to the bottom left corner of the card front and trimmed off the edges. I adhered the penguins to the Vellum cardstock circle, lining up the bottom of the image with the bottom of the card front and then adhered the card front to the Blueberry Bushel card base. To finish off the card design, I added several Basic Rhinestones to the card front to add a touch of sparkle.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to try this month's theme to help you create your own beautiful projects. Stampin' Up! has so many wonderful products to help you explore new possibilities.
