Around The World On Wednesday June Blog Hop Let's Go On An Adventure

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday June Blog Hop as we go on an adventure to create fun and inspiring projects. Our wonderful Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity and hopefully inspire you to go on your own creative adventure. 
When I think about adventure, my mind goes to traveling and exploring new places. I have been fortunate to have traveled and lived in various places around the world, so this is what influenced my card design. For my card design today, I wanted to use the new Next Destination stamp set in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I love the images and sentiments in this stamp set and I thought it would be perfect for creating cards for Graduations and Retirements. The card design I created has a vintage feel to it and would be a perfect masculine card. I paired it with the Watercolor World stamp to create the background for the card design and used Pecan Pie, Wild Wheat, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla with a touch of Gold to step up the design.

Next Destination stamp set (item #161427)

Measurements:
Early Espresso Cardstock
Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")
Large Stitched Square die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies
Sentiment Label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies
Pecan Pie Cardstock 
Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"
Very Vanilla Cardstock 
Square - 2 5/8" x 2 5/8"
The images in the Next Destination stamp set work perfectly for creating a card with theme of going on a journey, starting a new adventure. I love the sketched style of the images and wanted to create an aged, worn look to my card similar to an old notebook with a vintage map on the cover. Pecan Pie is a wonderful, warm brown and it works beautifully with Early Espresso. I stamped the Watercolor World stamp with Pecan Pie Classic ink onto the Pecan Pie card front to create the look of a vintage world map. The focal image was stamped with Early Espresso Classic ink onto a Very Vanilla cardstock square and I colored the image with Stampin' Blends Markers. I used the Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends Marker to create the background around the image and blended it with the Color Lifter to soften and distress the background. The sentiment was heat embossed with Gold embossing powder onto the Early Espresso cardstock label and I embellished the label with two of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots. I popped both the focal image and the sentiment label up using Stampin' Dimensionals, with the sentiment label overlapping the bottom right side of the focal square. I love how this card design turned out and I feel like it is perfect for someone preparing for the next stage in their life, their next adventure.

Around The World On Wednesday June Blog Hop 2020-2021 Annual Catalog

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday June Blog Hop as we showcase products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, including our special guest, Cindy Schuster. We will be sharing projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects. 
One of my favorite new suites in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is the World of Good Suite. I love the vintage feel and the wonderful colors and textures that make it perfect for masculine cards. Today I have chosen to use the World of Good Memories & More Card Pack (item #153600) as my focal image for my card design.
 To create this card, I chose Early Espresso cardstock for my card base and added the beautiful new In Color, Cinnamon Cider cardstock, as my background. I embossed this layer using the new Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200) to add texture to the background. I love how the embossed Cinnamon Cider cardstock has the look of worn, wrinkled leather, like you would find on an old journal. 
The focal image is just one of the many wonderful cards from the World of Good Memories and More Card Pack and I loved the sentiment on this particular card design. I added it to a piece of Early Espresso cardstock to create a frame that makes it stand out against the embossed background. 
 To finish off the card design, I added a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim (item 3152472) across the bottom of the card and added three of the small Gilded Gems (item $152478) below the trim. I love how the touch of gold steps up the card design. This card design would be wonderful as a Graduation card or even a Retirement card as both of these milestone occasions lead to new adventures in life.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore the new Annual Catalog and try some of the wonderful new products Stampin' Up! has to offer. As you can see from this wonderful suite, the products coordinate beautifully to make it easy to create simply beautiful projects.
