Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop June 2020

Welcome to Kylie's June Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop as we share creative ideas and projects to help inspire you. You will be visiting with a wonderful group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share projects created with products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. 

 One of my favorite new stamp sets is the Zany Zebras stamp set (item #152536) and I couldn't wait to create this fun birthday card with it. I paired it with the new 2020-2022 In Color, Magenta Madness, which is an amazing, vibrant pink. I just love how it pops against the black and white combination of this card design.

 To create this card design, I started with a Thick Whisper White cardstock card base and added a 5 1/4" x 4" layer of Basic Black cardstock to frame the  5" x 3 3/4" Magenta Madness Designer Series Paper layer from the 2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153070). I stamped the zebra image from the Zany Zebras stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I die cut the image using a circle die from the Layering Circles Dies (item #151770) and layered it with a slightly large scalloped circle die cut from Basic Black cardstock. The party hat was created by stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and I colored the image using the Light Magenta Madness and Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends Markers. I then fussy cut out the party hat and attached it to the top of the zebra's head with adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched out using the Classic Label Punch (item #141491). Using the new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (item #152883) I punched a label from a 3/4" Basic Black cardstock strip and attached the sentiment label on top with adhesive. I added two Magenta Madness Enamel Dots from the 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots (item #152480) to the sentiment to add a pop of color.

 I assembled the card by attaching the layers with adhesive and adding the focal zebra image and the sentiment to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. I love how bright and cheerful this card design is and I think it is perfect for all ages. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will encourage you to explore the many wonderful products in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and create your own wonderful projects.

2020 Kre8tors June Blog Hop New Annual Catalog

Welcome to the 2020 Kre8tors June Blog Hop as we showcase new products from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to create masculine projects. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share projects created with these amazing products to help you see all the wonderful options available to you. 

 My masculine card design features the stamp set, A Good Man (item #149270) combined with two of the new 2020-2022 In Colors from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love how Misty Moonlight and Just Jade look together and they add just the right amount of color to brighten up what could be a rather drab card design. 

 To create this card design, I started with a Misty Moonlight card base and added a layer of Crumb Cake cardstock that I embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder (item #149643). I sponged the background with Crumb Cake Classic ink to add a distressed look and bring out the detail in the embossing. I added a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Misty Moonlight Designer Series Paper from the 2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack (item #153070) framed by a 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" Just Jade strip of cardstock to the card front.

The focal image was created by stamping the image from A Good Man stamp set with Early Espresso Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I die cut the image using the Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771) and colored the image using Stampin' Blends Markers. I layered this image onto an Early Espresso cardstock oval die cut with the same die set. I attached the image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it overlaps the designer series paper strip. 

 For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Early Espresso Classic ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut the sentiment with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies (item #151820). I cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock to create a matte for the sentiment and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I really like the way this color combination works together and I think these colors are great for masculine card designs. This card design would work well for a Father's Day card or a masculine birthday card. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own masculine designs with the products available in the new Annual Catalog. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore and experiment with.

Colour Combo June Blog Hop

It's time for the Colour Combo June Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to use Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam to create our projects. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as we explore this pretty color combination to help inspire you. 

Today's card design features the beautiful new Gorgeous Posies stamp set (item #153289) from the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. This stamp set is hidden at the front of the catalog and maybe missed as it is a companion stamp set for the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit (item #153131). With this month's pretty color combination, I wanted to create an cheerful design for a Get Well card to brighten someone's day.

 To create this card design, I chose Soft Sea Foam cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the background layer. I used Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Soft Sea Foam Classic ink pads to stamp the various images from the Gorgeous Posies stamp set onto the Whisper White cardstock. I love how the variety of stamp images coordinate to create a soft and pretty background.

The sentiment was created by stamping the image onto Whisper White cardstock with Versamark ink and heat embossing it with Gold embossing powder. I love how the gold embossing adds an elegant look to the card design. I die cut the sentiment with one of the small dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item #151690) and layered in onto a larger die cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the same die set. 

To assemble the card, I attached the background layer to the card base with adhesive and then added the Soft Sea Foam label to the card front with adhesive. I cut a small piece of Whisper White5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon to the label with adhesive. I then attached the stamped sentiment label on top using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish off the card design, I colored two of the medium size Basic Pearls with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the stamped label. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will provide you with inspiration to help you create your own projects with this wonderful color combination. Creating pretty backgrounds with a variety of stamp images is a wonderful way to create your own unique card designs.

The Joy Of Sets June Splish Splash Blog Hop

Welcome to the Joy Of Sets June Blog Hop as we showcase our theme "Splish Splash" with projects that have a water theme. You will be visiting blogs from around the world as we share our creative projects to help inspire you. 

 Today's card design showcases a returning favorite paired with some new products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The Sailing Home stamp set (item #149457) and coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies (item #149576) are perfect for creating a ocean theme card design and I paired it with the new Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder (item #153200) from the World of Good Suite to create the texture in the background.

 To create this card design, I chose Night of Navy cardstock for the card base and Balmy Blue cardstock for the background layer, which has been embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I love how it gives the feeling of waves in the background. The sail boat and sentiment are from the Sailing Home stamp set and I stamped the sail boat image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the sentiment was heat embossed with Silver embossing powder, onto Whisper White cardstock. I used the Layering Circles Dies (item #151770) to die cut the opening for the card front, the frame and the sentiment as well as a large Whisper White cardstock circle to create the sponged background. To create the background, I sponged Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Seaside Spray Classic inks. I used the new Water Painters (item #151298) to color the sail boat using Balmy Blue and the new Cinnamon Cider Classic inks. This design is great for a masculine card and would be perfect for Father's Day or even a Graduation.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you create your own water themed projects using sponging and embossing to add texture and depth. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.

Ink. Stamp. Share June Special Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the Ink. Stamp. Share June Special Blog Hop as we share projects and ideas to help inspire you. Our theme for this hop is Anything Goes, so you will get to see a wide range of project ideas as you visit the blogs of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. 

 Today I am sharing a clean and simple Thank You card created with the new Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (item #154065). Instead of coloring the flower image to look like a sunflower, I chose a different color combination to create the look of a Gerbera Daisy. I stamped the image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Soft Suede Classic ink. I colored the image using the So Saffron combo, Granny Apple Green combo and Flirty Flamingo combo of Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut the image using the coordinating Sunflowers Dies. 

 For the card base, I chose Granny Apple Green cardstock and I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock that I embossed using the new Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder (item #152718) to add subtle texture to the background. I die cut a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the label dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies (item #153585) and a slightly smaller die cut from Whisper White cardstock using the same dies. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set with Gold embossing powder onto the Whisper White label, towards the center.

The ribbon embellishment was created by coloring a piece of Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144146) with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker and folded it in half, securing it in place with a Mini Glue Dot. I attached it to the back of the Granny Apple Green label die cut with another Mini Glue Dot, towards the bottom right side. 

 To assemble the card, I attached the embossed Whisper White cardstock layer to the card base and then added the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added the die cut flower to the top left corner of the label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so that the flower overlapped the top of the label. For a touch of shimmer, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower and leaves, to finish off the design. I love how this flower image was transformed from a sunflower to a daisy by using a different color combination. It opens up so many wonderful possibilities for this bundle. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will encourage you to explore the wonderful new products in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. There is such a wide variety to choose from to help you create projects for all occasions.

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.
