ICS Monochromatic Blog Hop

It's time to hop along with the ICS Monochromatic Blog Hop. We have been challenged to use just one color to create our project for today's hop using Stampin' Up! products in that color. We are also allowed to use Whisper White or Very Vanilla for our design. For me, the hardest thing about this challenge is deciding what color to choose.

For today's card design, I decided that I wanted to use some of the products from the Toile Tidings Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. The cardinal image from the Toile Christmas stamp set (item #150469) is so beautiful and when I saw that one of the colors in the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (item #150432) was Real Red, I knew that was the color I wanted to use for this monochromatic challenge.

To create this card design, I started with Real Red cardstock for the card base and added a layer of the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper to create the background. I just love the vintage design of this paper. I stamped the cardinal image using Real Red Classic ink and die cut it using the coordinating die from the Christmas Cardinal Die set (item #150640). Both the stamp set and die set can be ordered as the Toile Christmas Bundle (item #152367) at a savings of 10%. To color the cardinal, I used Clear Wink of Stella to give it a soft water color shimmer.

Using the Stitched Labels Dies (item #145372), I die cut the largest oval from Very Vanilla cardstock and layered it onto a scalloped oval die cut from Real Red cardstock using the Layering Ovals Dies (item #141706). I attached the cardinal to the Very Vanilla oval using Snail adhesive and the attached the ovals to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto Real Red cardstock using Versamark ink and I heat embossed it with Shimmer White embossing powder (item #149511). I die cut the sentiment with the coordinating die from the Christmas Cardinal Dies and attached it to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To embellish the sentiment, I added two of the small Basic Pearls for a little bling.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. This card design has the feel of an old fashioned Christmas and I love that I was able to create it with just Real Red and Very Vanilla as my colors. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to try creating your own projects using just one color. It is a great way to explore your creativity.

Kylie's International Blog Hightlights November 2019

Welcome to Kylie's International Blog Highlights for November as we showcase Stampin' Up! products to help inspire your creativity. You will have the opportunity to visit with demonstrators from around the world as they share their creations to help encourage the people around us.

For my card design this month, I chose the beautiful Christmas Rose stamp set from the Christmastime is Here Suite available while supplies last. This beautiful stamp set is so versatile and I wanted to show how you can use it to create a card that is not for Christmas.

This clean and simple card design features Old Olive cardstock for the card base and I stamped the focal image onto a layer of Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To color this beautiful rose design, I used the photopolymer stamp images included in the stamp set with the Stamparatus. I love how simple this technique makes it simple to color this rose with just a few ink colors. For the rose I used Poppy Parade Classic ink and Blushing Bride Classic ink, for the leaves I chose Old Olive Classic ink and for the berries I chose Cherry Cobbler Classic ink. I stamped the pine cones separately using a small clear block using Soft Suede Classic ink. The sentiment I chose is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder and added three small Basic Pearls that I colored with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker.

As you can see, this pretty card design has so many wonderful possibilities for a variety of occasions and you can change the colors to give it a completely different look.

GSF November Blog Hop Plaid

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (aka GSF) November Blog Hop as we share ideas to help you use plaid in your projects. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as we share our projects to help inspire you.

Today I am showcasing products from the Wrapped in Plaid Suite from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. I just love the vibrant colors in the Wrapped in Plaid 6"x6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (item #149596) and how the designs work with the Perfectly Plaid Bundle (item #151140).

For my card design, I chose to use Shaded Spruce cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Night of Navy cardstock that I embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder (item #150646) to add texture to the background. I cut a piece of 2" x 5" designer series paper and created a banner on one end using the Banner Triple Punch (item #138292) and attached it to the card front with Snail adhesive.

To create the focal image, I die cut a scalloped circle from Shaded Spruce and added a thin Silver Foil circle frame created with two of the circle dies all from the Layering Circles Dies. I punched out the tree image using the Pine Tree Punch from a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then die cut the circle around it. I layered the circles so that the Shaded Spruce cardstock showed in the negative space for the pine tree. I stamped the tree image for the Perfectly Plaid stamp set and heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder on the Shaded Spruce cardstock inside the area punched out by the Pine Tree Punch. I attached the circle to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, layering it on top of the piece of designer series paper.

To finish off the card, I created the sentiment by heat embossing the image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set (item #150491) with Gold embossing powder onto a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock and die cut it using one of the dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I cut a slightly larger rectangle from Shaded Spruce cardstock to create a matte and the layered them onto a larger rectangle die cut from Silver Foil. I attached the sentiment label below the focal image using Stampin' Dimensionals. This card design is perfect for a masculine Christmas card with the touches of gold and silver adding a little bling without being over the top.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore using plaid in your projects. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.

We Create Regals Collection Blog Hop

Welcome to the We Create Regals Collection Blog Hop as we create projects using colors from the Regals Collection. I love this color family and I think these colors work beautifully for this time of year as we transition from Fall into Winter.

For my card design, I chose to use the beautiful Rich Razzleberry for this clean and simple card design. I chose to use the large detailed rose image from the new limited edition Christmas Rose stamp set (item #152431) which is just one of the products in the new Christmastime is Here Suite available beginning November 1st while supplies last.

To create this card, I used Rich Razzleberry cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Rich Razzleberry for the card front. I heat embossed the large rose image using Gold embossing powder onto the Rich Razzleberry cardstock layer and colored in the roses and leaves with Clear Wink of Stella to add a touch of sparkle to the image.

I added a piece of the new Gold 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon (item #152156) to the lower section of the card front with Snail Adhesive. To create the sentiment, I die cut the label using one of the dies from the coordinating Roses Die set. Using the Golden Glitz Delicata Pigment Ink (item #150711), I gently sponged the edges of the label to add a gold shimmer. I heat embossed the sentiment from the First Frost stamp set (item #148420) with Gold embossing powder and added two of the smallest Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (item #152155) to two of the corners of the label. I attached the label to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, layering it over the ribbon.

The Christmas Rose stamp set is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions beyond Christmas. The images in this stamp set provide many options to help you create beautiful projects throughout the year just by changing the sentiments. The products in the Christmastime is Here Suite are only available for a limited time. I recommend that you order early to avoid disappointment.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore the beautiful colors in this wonderful color collection. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
