Ink. Stamp. Share. April Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. April Showcase Blog Hop as we share projects we are currently working on to help inspire you. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their fun ideas to help spark your creativity. 

Over the past few weeks I have been busy showing some love to retiring favorite 2020-2021 Annual Catalog products before I have to say goodbye to them. Today I decided to create this pretty card design with the beautiful Peony Garden Designer Series Paper (item #152483) and the Prized Peony stamp set (item #152504). Thankfully the stamp set is not retiring but I will miss the amazing designs in this elegant paper pack. I also decided to use the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) to create the sentiment label for this card and I am really going to miss this amazing die set. The retiring products are part of the Last Chance Product Sale and are available to order while supplies last or until May 3rd, 2021.

This clean and simple card design has an elegant feel to it thanks to the beautiful paper design for the background and the heat embossed images from the Prized Peony stamp set. I love the way the White embossing pops against the Gray Granite cardstock. To finish off the design, I added a small bow tied with the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the top of the sentiment label and a couple of small Basic Pearls for a touch of bling.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights April 2021

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for April as we share our card ideas with the theme of Thank You. You will have the opportunity to visit talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their amazing card designs to help inspire you. 

Today's card design features some of my favorite retiring products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I love the Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580) and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (item #148523) for creating Spring themed cards and I chose to use one of the designs from the Playing With Patterns 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152490) to create this pretty Thank You card. There were so many beautiful patterns to choose from that would work well with this stamp set and punch to create a variety of cards for all occasions. 

Products Used:

Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580) Retiring

Butterfly Duet Punch (item #148523) Retiring

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771) Retiring

Sentiment Oval die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

Butterfly images stamped with the Butterfly Gala stamp set and punched out with the Butterfly Duet Punch

This clean and simple card design works well for a variety of occasions and is easy to create. The stamp images in this stamp set are easy to line up and punch out and there are wonderful sentiments to choose from. I colored the large butterfly image with both the Light and Dark Calypso and Light and Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Markers and for the two smaller butterflies I used just the Mango Melody Stampin' Blends Combo Pack. I added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling and the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon adds a pretty soft touch to the design. These retiring products are only available while supplies last or until May 3rd, 2021, so now is the perfect time to order them and add them to your collection.

GSF April Blog Hop Rainbow

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends (aka GSF) April Blog Hop and our theme this month is Rainbow. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

Today I decided to use the beautiful Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152487) to create this fun and cheerful birthday card. Using strips from 7 different colors, I created the rainbow, using the polka dot pattern from this designer series paper pack. I used Basic Black cardstock for the background to help make these bright colors pop and I love the contrast of Black and White that creates a frame for these wonderful colors. I used the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set (item #148618) for my sentiment and heat embossed it onto Black cardstock to help it stand out. This card design works well for people of all ages and is a wonderful way to celebrate a special day. 

Products Used:

Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set (item #148518) Retiring

Everyday Label Punch (item #144668)

Thick Basic White Cardstock (item #159229)

Basic Black Cardstock (item #121045)

Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #152487) Retiring

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

White Embossing Powder (item #109132)

Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) Retiring

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Basic White Cardstock

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

Basic Black Cardstock

Background Layer for strips - 4 7/8" x 3 5/8"

Background Matte Layer - 5" x 3 3/4"

Sentiment Label punched with the Everyday Label Punch

Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (polka dot pattern)

3/4" x 3 1/2" - 1 Strip of each of the following colors:

Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Gorgeous Grape

This clean and simple card design is easy to create and assemble. To create the rainbow of strips, I adhered each of the strips to the Basic Black cardstock layer (4 7/8" x 3 5/8") in rainbow order, leaving a slim border between each strip. I then attached this layer to the Basic Black matte background layer to create a frame around the focal pattern. I attached a piece of the Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon around the middle of this layer and added the sentiment label on top with Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment was heat embossed with White embossing powder and I added small Basic Rhinestone Jewels to decorate the label. To complete the card design, I attached the focal layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to explore using a rainbow of colors to create your own wonderful projects. Some of the products that I used to create today's card are retiring and are available while supplies last or until May 3rd.

We Create April Blog Hop The Animal Kingdom

 

Welcome to the We Create April Blog Hop as we showcase projects with the theme "Animal Kingdom". I love animals and love creating projects featuring animals, so I am so excited about this month's theme. You will love the amazing projects that our fabulous Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have to share with you.

One of my favorite animal stamp sets from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is the Wildly Happy stamp set (item #149408). I just love the beautiful images and the fonts for the sentiments that help you to create wonderful baby cards. Today I paired the foxes image with one of the designs from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (item #152492) to create this organic card design. This card would work well for either a boy or girl or as a way to congratulate a couple who have just announced they are pregnant and don't know the gender of the baby. 

Products Used:

Wildly Happy stamp set (item #149408) Retiring

Layering Ovals Dies (item #151771) Retiring

Measurements:

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

Matte Layer - 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"

Scalloped Ovals die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

Sentiment Label punched with the Classic Label Punch

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock

Background Layer - 5 1/4" x 4" Embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder

Basic White Cardstock

Ovals die cut with Layering Ovals Dies

This card is simple to create and is really all about layers. The different layers of paper and color help to add texture and dimension to the design without adding a lot of bulk. I combined the Cajun Craze and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Markers to create areas of light and shade when coloring the stamped image. I used the Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker to add a shadow around the foxes. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the For You image onto a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock and used the Classic Label Punch to punch it out. I layered it onto the oval sentiment and I love the contrast between the Basic White and Shaded Spruce labels. As you may have noticed, I used a lot of products that are retiring from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog to create this card design. So many of these products are favorites of mine and I love using them to create my card designs and I will be sorry to see them go. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hop that my card design will help inspire you to explore this wonderful theme and all the amazing animals products that Stampin' Up! has to offer. I love the way that Stampin' Up!'s products coordinate to help create beautiful cards without the stress.
