Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights February

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's February Monthly International Blog Highlights as we showcase Thank You cards to help inspire you. You will have the opportunity to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas to spark your creativity. 

Clean and simple cards are my favorite to create and I the new Sentimental Swirls stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, is perfect for this style of card. I paired it with the pretty Simply Marbleous 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the Sale-a-bration Rewards you can earn free with a qualifying $50 order. To create the design, I embossed the images and sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto the designer series paper. It creates a simply elegant design that is perfect for this Thank You card. This design would work beautifully with any of the colors in this designer series paper pack to create a wonderful set of cards.

Both of these products are Level 1 Sale-a-bration Rewards and they can each be earned Free with a qualifying $50 order.

Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Sale-a-bration Blog Hop as we share ideas to showcase the amazing new products from the Summer Sale-a-bration 2021 Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects to help inspire you.

One of my favorite Sale-a-bration products is the Delicate Dahlias stamp set. I just love the variety of images in this set that provide so many wonderful options for creating projects. For today's card design, I chose to use the line drawing for the large flower and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder onto Blushing Bride cardstock. The embossing creates a soft elegance to the design that works well for a sympathy card. This soft and pretty card design works for a variety of occasions and can be created in a variety of colors.

Products Used:

Delicate Dahlias stamp set (item #156601) Sale-a-bration Reward

Everyday Label Punch (item #144668)

Blushing Bride Cardstock (item #131198)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Basics Embossing Powders (item #155554)

White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon (item #156408)

Basic Pearl Jewels (item #144219)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Blushing Bride Cardstock 

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

Focal Layer - 5" x 3 3/4" 

Sentiment Label punched with the Everyday Label Punch

Basic White Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Label punched with the Everyday Label Punch, cut in half to create matte for sentiment label

This clean and simple card is easy to create and uses one of my favorite techniques -heat embossing. I love the elegant look of White embossing and how it looks on colored cardstock. The detailed outline stamp image looks beautiful when embossed and I stamped it twice on opposite corners of the Blushing Bride cardstock layer to create the design. I also heat embossed the sentiment onto Blushing Bride cardstock and punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch. I layered it with a Basic White label that I cut in half and positioned so that a small sliver frames the sentiment label. The ribbon I chose for this card is the beautiful White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. I love the pretty shimmer and sparkle it adds to the design without being overwhelming. To finish off the card, I added small Pearls to the centers of the flowers and two large pearls to decorate the sentiment label. The Delicate Dahlias stamp set is so versatile and a must have for your stamping collection. You can earn this stamp set for Free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying $100 order.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the amazing new products in the Summer Sale-a-bration 2021 Catalog. There are so many wonderful possibilities.

Silver To Silver Elite June Blog Hop Welcome The New and Cherish The Old

Welcome to the Silver to Silver Elite Journey To Silver Elite June Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators with a common goal to support each other as we build our businesses. Our theme this month is "Welcome the New and Cherish The Old" and we have been challenged to use a product from the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, a carryover product from the previous catalog and a new color, to create our projects.

My favorite kind of cards are clean and simple designs. They are easy to create but can still have that look of elegance to make it extra special. For my card design today, I chose to use the new Pansy Patch stamp set for my sentiment and I heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder to step it up. I paired it with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, a staple die set for me, which I am happy to say has carried over from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The shapes of the dies are wonderful for framing sentiments of all sizes. I chose the beautiful Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color as my new color and I love how it coordinates with Rich Razzleberry from the Regals Collection. I embossed the Fresh Freesia cardstock layer with the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to give add texture to the background. The floral detail is stunning and turns a simple design into a simply Wow card. 

Products Used:

Pansy Patch stamp set (item #154999) New

Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder (item #155428) New

Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690) 

Fresh Freesia Cardstock (item #155613) New

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock (item #115316)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock

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

Large Label die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Fresh Freesia Cardstock

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Sentiment Label die cut with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

This beautiful card layout works well for a variety of occasions and by changing the colors, you can personalize it to suit the person receiving it. The dry embossed background adds subtle texture while the silver embossing for the sentiment adds a touch of elegance. The sparkle of Basic Rhinestone Jewels completes this clean and simple design. I love being able to combine my well loved Stampin' Up! supplies with the new products in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. It's a great way to add variety to my projects without breaking my budget.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore combining the new products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog with your existing supplies. It's a great way to add a new creative twist to your projects.

With Spring in the air, I am really enjoying the pretty color combinations in the new Pattern Party 12"x12" Designer Series Paper, which is a Host Reward you can earn Free with a qualifying party. This wonderful rainbow stripe design is so cheerful and I thought it was perfect to pair with the new Count On Me stamp set from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog. I love the sweet images and wonderful sentiments in this stamp set. There are so many great ways to combine these products to create a variety of card designs.

This clean and simple card design is easy to assemble and you can create different designs by changing the designer series paper for the background as well as the images and sentiments in the stamp set. For this design, I chose the cute pair of koalas and stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White label and colored the images with Smoky Slate Stampin' Combo Pack. To add highlights to the ears and stomach, I used the Color Lifter to soften the color. For the sentiment, I used Pool Party Classic ink to stamp the image onto die cut label. I attached the focal image and sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This card design is a wonderful way to brighten someone's day.
