ICS November Blog Hop Christmas Is Coming

Welcome to the ICS November Blog Hop as we showcase Christmas cards with the theme "Christmas Is Coming". You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you. 

The first time I saw the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog, I fell in love with the Flight of Fancy stamp set (item #153410) and when I was deciding on my card design for this hop, I just knew I had to use this set. The angel image is so sweet and it gives me this feeling of hope, which is something we all need in this crazy year. I paired this stamp set with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512) and I loved how this pretty paper provided me with the color combination for this design. As this stamp set is an image only set, I chose a sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (item #153475) and I just love the beautiful fonts in this set.

and Label Die Cut

Whisper White Cardstock for Oval Die Cut

This fun Christmas card design was so much fun to create. I loved coloring the stamped image with the Stampin' Blends Markers using colors that coordinate with the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper. I stamped the image using Smoky Slate Classic ink so that the lines would not be so harsh. I love that the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon adds just a touch of sparkle to the background and the Basic Rhinestones add a touch of bling. In case you were wondering, I added an extra star near the Angel because I had a small ink mark there that was really bothering me and adding that star meant I had 5 stars all together, which made me feel that it was more balanced. I love that the label fits along the bottom and almost gives a snow globe appearance to the image. This card design just makes me happy when I look at it and I hope that the person that receives it will feel the same way when they receive it.

Colour Combo November Blog Hop

 

It's time to explore the world of color with the Colour Combo November Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose to create our projects. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their amazing projects and ideas with you.

When I saw this month's color combination, I thought of Summer time and the beach. I decided to create this clean and simple card design using the Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278) from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the softness of the watercolor look with these colors and used the Clear Wink of Stella with ink to create a soft shimmer. 

Products Used:

Seaside Notions stamp set (item #149278)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Coastal Cabana cardstock (item #131297)

Daffodil Delight cardstock (item #119683)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Coastal Cabana Classic Ink Pad (item #147097)

Rococo Rose Classic Ink Pad (item #150080)

Daffodil Delight Classic Ink Pad (item #147094)

Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Combo Pack (item #154900)

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana Cardstock Card Base - 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" 

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Daffodil Delight Cardstock Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Whisper White cardstock for stamped images

This pretty card design is simple to create with just a few layers and a little fussy cutting. To create the background for the card design, I stamped the sand with Daffodil Delight Classic ink and added the seaweed on the right side with Coastal Cabana Classic ink.  I stamped the sea horse, sea shell and sand dollar onto Whisper White cardstock and water colored the images using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and the Classic Ink in Coastal Cabana for the sea horse, Rococo Rose for the sea shell and Daffodil Delight for the sand dollar. I fussy cut out the images and added them to the Whisper White cardstock layer with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment with Coastal Cabana Classic ink and added several Basic Rhinestones that I colored with the Dark Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Marker for a touch of bling.  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore this wonderful color combination to create your own projects.

Demonstrators from around the world as the share their ideas to help inspire you.

Today's card is a clean and simple design featuring products from the Wonder of the Season Suite in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. This design is a wonderful example of how you can create beautiful cards with just a few products and requires no stamping. The Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack (item #153538) has beautiful card designs that are great for creating quick and easy Christmas cards and I combined one of the 3"x4" cards with the coordinating Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #153489) to create this design. With the wide variety of designs in both the card pack and designer series paper pack, you can create a variety of Christmas cards to send to family and friends. 

Products Used:

Wonder Of The Season Memories & More Card Pack 

(item #153538)

Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Wonderful Gems (item #153536)

Real Red cardstock (item #102482)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Wonder Of The Season Memories & More Card Pack -  1 card 3"x4"

This card design is very simple to put together. I added the layer of designer series paper to the card base using Stampin' Seal Adhesive and then I added the Wonder of the Season Memories & More card to the center of the designer series paper layer using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. To decorate the card, I used the star and deer Gold Foil stickers from the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Card Pack and I added three of the small gold gems from the Wonderful Gems to add to three of the corners. I love the simplicity of this design and it would work well for a masculine Christmas card.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights November 2020

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's November Monthly International Blog Highlights as we showcase wonderful projects with the theme of Thank 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 help inspire you. 

My card today features a "No Stamping" design using the beautiful Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (item #152483) combined with the Well Written Dies (item #151816) and Ornate Layers Dies (item #152726) from 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the classic elegance of this design and how simple it was to create. 

Products Used:

Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (item #152483)

Well Written Dies (item #151816)

Ornate Layers Dies (item #152726) 

Gray Granite cardstock (item #146983)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Measurements:

Gray Granite cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(scored at 4 1/4")

Peony Garden Designer Series Paper layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Gray Granite panel - for die cutting sentiment layer with Ornate Layers Dies

Gold Foil Sheet - for die cutting sentiments and embellishments with the Well Written Dies

To create this card design, I die cut all the pieces first to make it easy to assemble the card. I attached the designer series paper layer to the card base with Stampin' Seal Adhesive. I snipped the floral embellishment that was die cut from the Gold Foil into three separate pieces and lined then up with the sentiment label before attaching them to the card front. I added the sentiment die cuts to the Gray Granite die cut panel and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals so that hid the ends of the floral embellishments. For a touch of bling, I added Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the flowers and the butterfly to step up the design. This clean and simple card design is a great way to say thank you to someone and make them feel extra special and appreciated. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will  help inspire you to create your own beautiful thank you cards to send to the people in your life.

We Create November Blog Hop Bundle Up

It's the start of November which means it's time to hop with the We Create Blog Hop team This month our theme is "Bundle Up" and you will have the opportunity to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their wonderful projects and ideas to help inspire you. 

The weather is cooling down with the changing of the seasons and we have already had two snow storms so far here in Colorado. So I decided to create a fun Winter themed card using the Freezin' Fun Bundle (item #155176) combined with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512) from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I chose my color combination for the pretty snowflake background and chose Night of Navy, Highland Heather and Whisper White for a crisp clean and simple design. 

Products Used:

Freezin' Fun Bundle (item #155176)

Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (item #153512)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771)

Snowflake Splendor 1/4" Ribbon (item #153548)

Night of Navy cardstock (item #100867)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Seaside Spray Classic Ink Pad (item #150085)

Highland Heather Classic Ink Pad (item #147103)

Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Measurements:

Night Of Navy cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

(scored at 4 1/4")

Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Whisper White cardstock - for die cuts and images

Night Of Navy cardstock - for die cuts

This card design is simple to create and I love how easy the images in the Freezin' Fun stamp set are to color and I stamped the skiing bunny image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I chose to use a variety of Stampin' Blends Markers to color this sweet little bunny and die cut it with the coordinating die from the Freezin' Friends Dies. I sponged the Whisper White circle that I die cut using the Layering Circles Dies, using Seaside Spray and Highland Heather Classic Ink Pads and a Stampin' Sponge. I attached the snow that I created using part of a Whisper White cardstock circle that I die cut using the slope die from the Freezin' Friends Dies and attached to sponged circle. I added the die cut bunny image with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to give the appearance that that he was skiing. I layered the focal image onto a Night of Navy scalloped circle. I cut two pieces of the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon and attached them to the card front and added the focal image on top using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped with Highland Heather Classic ink onto a Whisper White oval that I die cut with the Layering Ovals Dies and I layered it onto a Night of Navy scalloped oval die cut. I added the sentiment layer to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals below the focal image. I added two small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the sentiment for a touch of bling. I love how this design turned out and it is a great card to send to someone to brighten their day.  

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to get creative with the many wonderful bundles available from Stampin' Up! There are so many amazing options to choose from.
