Around The World On Wednesday February Blog Hop You've Got Mail

Welcome to the Around The World On Wednesday February Blog Hop with our theme this month "You've Got Mail" as we focus on "All About The Inside". You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

For my card design, I chose to create a Double Flap Gate Fold card using the Darling Donkeys stamp set (item #155264) and the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper (item #155225), which are both Level 1 Rewards in the 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog. I love how pretty this Bermuda Bay paper is and the donkeys are so cute. The accessories in the Kangaroo & Company Bundle (item #156269) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog work beautifully with the Darling Donkeys to help step up the card design. As you open this card, you will find two inside layers that celebrate the recipient's birthday.

Inside Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

2 Large Circles die cut with the Layering Circles Dies

Accessories stamped & die cut with the Kangaroo & Company Bundle

Bermuda Bay Cardstock

Inside Layer - 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Scalloped Circles die cut with Layering Circles Dies

Bermuda Bay Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper

2 Pieces - 2" x 5 3/8"

This card design may look complicated but it is actually quite simple to create. For the card base, you score at 2 1/8" from each end and score with a bone folder so they fold towards the middle. To decorate, I attached the designer series paper pieces to either side of the "gate" fold. I adhered the Bermuda Bay cardstock layer inside the card in the center. For the inside center panel, I stamped the donkey image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with Stampin' Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment with the same ink and then attached the layer to the center of the card on top of the Bermuda Bay cardstock layer. To create the flaps for the front and the middle layers, I stamped the donkeys onto scrap Basic White cardstock and the sentiments onto the circles. I stamped the small stars image with Coastal Cabana Classic ink around the sentiment to decorate. Using Stampin' Blends Markers, I colored the donkeys and fussy cut them out. I attached them to the circles with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and then attached the white circles to the Bermuda Bay scalloped circle die cuts. For the accessories, I stamped them onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and colored them with Stampin' Blends Markers before die cutting them with the coordinating dies using the Kangaroo & Company Bundle.

To assemble the card, I added Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to one half of the back of the Bermuda Bay scalloped circle to attach to the left side flap of the gate fold card. For the other scalloped circle, I attached it to the left side with adhesive, repeating the process but on the opposite half of the circle and making sure that it lines up behind the front circle. I added the hearts to the front of the card so that it overlaps the front circle, using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. This helps create a "latch" to keep the card closed. To decorate the donkey on the inside of the card, I added the party hat and gifts with adhesive. For a touch of bling, I added Basic Rhinestones to the front panels to finish off the design. I love that this card design provides a 'surprise" on the inside for the person receiving the card.

ICS February Blog Hop My Favorite Sale-a-bration Product

Welcome to the ICS February Blog Hop as we showcase projects created with products from the 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

One of my favorite products in the 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog is the beautiful Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (item #155223) which is a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn with a qualifying US$50 order. There are so many amazing designs in this paper pack and I love the way the bright colors pop against the black background. I paired this pretty paper with the Party Punch Host stamp set, which is an exclusive stamp set that you can earn free when you host a party with US$300 in sales or place an order of US$300. The images in this stamp set coordinate with several of Stampin' Up!'s punches but you can also use them with some of the dies that Stampin' Up! has to offer to provide even more versatility.

This clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to showcase this beautiful paper. From one 12"x12" sheet, you can get 6 card fronts plus the decorative strips to decorate the inside of the card. I used the Layering Ovals to create the label for the sentiment and heat embossed the image from the Punch Party stamp set with Silver Embossing Powder for an elegant touch. The small Basic Rhinestone Jewels add a touch of bling that finishes off the design. For the inside panel, I stamped the birthday sentiment with Just Jade Classic ink and added the strip of designer series paper across the bottom to coordinate it with the front of the card. With this combination of beautiful paper and the sentiments in the Punch Party stamp set, you can create wonderful cards for a variety of occasions, quickly and simply.

GSF February Blog Hop Garden Inspiration

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) February Blog Hop as we share projects with the theme "Garden Inspiration". You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their projects and ideas.

Today I decided to create a pretty Spring card to help chase away the cold Winter day outside here in Colorado. When I think of Spring, I think of pretty flowers starting to bloom, soft pastel colors and the return of butterflies. This was my inspiration for my card design and I chose to used the Floating & Fluttering Bundle (item #156239) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and paired it with the beautiful Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #155222), which is a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set, which is also a product you can earn free during Sale-a-bration. I love how these products coordinate together to create a soft and pretty birthday card.

Products Used:

Floating & Fluttering Bundle (item #156239)

Approaching Perfection stamp set (item #155282)

Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper (item #155222)

Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward

Butterfly Beauty Dies (item #151819)

Rococo Rose Cardstock (item #150882)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (item #144108)

Measurements:

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

Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock

- Sentiment label stamped and die cut with the Floating & Fluttering Bundle

Gold Foil Sheet

- large butterfly die cut with the Fluttering Dies

- 2 small butterflies die cut with the Butterfly Beauty Dies

This clean and simple card is easy to create and I love how the Gold embossing and Gold Foil die cut butterflies step up the design. I stamped the label outline from the Floating & Fluttering stamp set with Versamark ink onto Basic White cardstock and I heat embossed it with Gold embossing powder. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Approaching Perfection stamp set in the center of the label and die cut it with the coordinating Fluttering Dies. I attached the sentiment label to the center of the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the large Gold Foil Butterfly to the top right corner of the sentiment label with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals so that it overlaps the corner. I added the two small butterfly die cuts below the bottom left corner of the sentiment label to balance out the design. For a touch of bling, I added one of the large and two of the small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the large die cut butterfly to finish off the card design. For me, this card design reflects my favorite things about a Spring garden and I love that I can send it to someone to help brighten their day.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore the wonderful products in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog to create your own beautiful projects. Inspiration can come from anywhere and it can be a way to bring a touch of Spring on a cold Winter day.

We Create February Blog Hop Whatevs

It's time to hop along with the We Create February Blog Hop and our theme this month is "Whatevs". What does that mean? Basically we get to choose whatever we like to create our projects to help inspire you. You will be visiting with creative Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects.

I am so excited about the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle which will be available to order starting tomorrow, February 2nd. Some of you may remember the Hey Chick stamp set that was a Sale-a-bration reward back in 2017 and the great news is that this stamp, plus coordinating dies, will also be available to order tomorrow. I just love the barn yard animals that Stampin' Up! has released over the past couple of years and I just had to add this new bundle to my collection. I chose to use colors from the 2020-2022 In Colors for this card design to create a fun, cheerful birthday card.

Products Used:

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

2020-2022 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Layering Ovals Dies

Cinnamon Cider Cardstock

Basic White Cardstock

Poppy Parade Cardstock

Misty Moonlight Cardstock

Just Jade Cardstock

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad

Just Jade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Combo Pack

Measurements:

Cinnamon Cider Cardstock Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

(Scored at 4 1/4")

Bumblebee Designer Series Paper Layer - 5 1/4" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock

- Sentiment Label die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

- For image created with Hey Birthday Chick Bundle

Poppy Parade Cardstock

- For Scalloped Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

I love the bright cheerful colors in the 2020-2022 In Color collection and I thought they worked perfectly with this bundle. The Bumblebee Polka Dot background helps make the other colors pop. I used Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Markers to color the images and I used Light Just Jade Stampin' Blends Marker to color the small Basic Pearls to embellish the sentiment label. I used the Layering Ovals to create the label and used Poppy Parade cardstock to help the sentiment label pop against the background. The fence line is just one of the fun dies in this bundle and I love that it cuts and embosses the die cut to add texture to the design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to try the new Hey Birthday Chick Bundle which will be available to order starting tomorrow, February 2nd, 2021.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights February 2021

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's February Monthly International Blog Highlights. You will have the opportunity to visit with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they showcase their projects and ideas with the theme of Thank You.

Today I thought I would share a masculine card design, because let's face it, we struggle with creating cards for the men in our lives. I decided to use one of my favorite suites, World Of Good, from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I chose one of the 4"x6" cards from the World Of Good Memories & More Card Pack (item #153600) to create the background and used the Beautiful World Bundle (item #154091) to create the design for the card. The sentiment is from the Heal Your Heart stamp set (item #155291), which is a Level 1 Sale-a-bration Reward that you can earn Free with a qualifying order until February 28th. As you can tell from this card design, I love heat embossing and I think that the Gold embossing adds a touch of elegance and old world charm.

Products Used:

Beautiful World Bundle (item #154091)

World Of Good Memories & More Card Pack (item #153600)

Heal Your Heart stamp set (item #155291)

Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820)

Early Espresso Cardstock (item #119686)

Misty Moonlight Cardstock (item #153081)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Gold Embossing Powder (item #109129)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Early Espresso Cardstock

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

Piece for Quill and ink die cuts created with the Beautiful World Bundle

Sentiment Label die cut with Stitched Rectangles Dies

Misty Moonlight Cardstock

Piece for Globe created with Beautiful World Bundle

Word Of Good Memories & More Card Pack

4" x 6" card cut to 4" x 5 1/4"

When creating masculine cards, the products in the World Of Good Suite make it easy to create beautiful cards. For this design, I chose to use the globe stamped onto Misty Moonlight cardstock and embossed with Gold embossing powder and the quill and ink heat embossed onto Early Espresso cardstock to embellish my card. The Gold Foil base for the globe coordinates perfectly with the Gold embossing to create an old world feel to the design. I love the font used in the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set and I felt that it worked well with this bundle. This clean and simple card is easy to create while still having that Wow factor that will make the person receiving this card feel extra special.

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

I would love it if you would vote for my card design this month. Please click the button below and click on the heart on my card design (# 49) to vote. You may vote for up to 5 different projects, so please share the love with my fellow demonstrators.

Until Next Time
