Ink. Stamp. Share. July Showcase Blog Hop

Today I am taking part in the Ink. Stamp. Share. July Showcase Blog Hop and I love taking part in this blog hop as it gives me an opportunity to explore and create with new products. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing what they are currently working on to help inspire you to get creative this Summer. 

I recently ordered the new Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and I wanted to create a clean and simple card with one of the designs. This pretty daisy pattern felt like the perfect background for a Summer card design and I paired it with one of the sentiments from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the coordinating Bough Punch. The Parakeet Party leaves add a wonderful pop of color and the Gold embossing for the sentiment helps step up this simple design.  I love creating cards that let the designer series paper do all the hard work to create beautiful designs. 

Products Used:

Layering Leaves stamp set (item #161277)

2 3/8" Circle Punch (item #161354)

This pretty card is so simple to create and works well for a variety of occasions. I love that the Layering Leaves stamp set has a variety of sentiments to choose from to help you create beautiful cards. I chose to use Thick Basic White cardstock for the card base to help make the designer series paper card front pop. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the circle die cut for a touch of elegance and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals over a piece of the pretty White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added the die cut leaves and buds underneath the circle before I attached the circle to the card front. I love how the Parakeet Party cardstock looks with the Petal Pink background and white daisies. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls for a touch of bling. This simple layout would work well with so many of the designs in the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack and is a great way to create a stash of cards suitable for a variety of occasions.

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends July Blog Hop as we explore the wonderful new products from the Online Exclusives, available now. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their beautiful projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore these amazing new products. 

I fell in love with the products in the new One Horse Open Sleigh Suite Collection and couldn't wait to start creating Christmas cards with them. I often create "Christmas in July" projects and it's a great way to get a head start on my holiday projects. The One Horse Open Sleigh 6"x6" Designer Series Paper has simply stunning scenic background designs that make beautiful cards not only for Christmas but for other Winter themed occasions. For my card design today, I felt like it could be used like a Thinking of You card or as a Christmas card because the sentiment leaves it open to be used for a variety of occasions. I love the Horse & Sleigh Bundle and it coordinates beautifully with the pretty designer series paper.

Basic White Cardstock

Horse & Sleigh image stamped and die cut with the Horse & Sleigh Bundle

This beautiful card is relatively simple to create and I wanted the horse and sleigh to feel like a part of the background scene for this design. I used one of the designer series paper designs to create the card front and adhered it to the Night of Navy card base to help it stand out. For the horse and sleigh image, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored it in with Stampin' Blends Markers. I chose to use Boho Blue for the sleigh, Moody Mauve for the coats and hats, Smoky Slate for the horse, Pebbled Path for the reins and gloves and Petal Pink for the faces. I added a touch of Flirty Flamingo for one of the pillows as a contrast to the Moody Mauve. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image and then I used Light Balmy Blue to lightly color around the white edge of the image so that it would blend in with the designer series paper background. For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto the Night of Navy sentiment label die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies and trimmed off the right side to create a straight edge. I added the sentiment to the card front on the bottom right side so that it was in line with the edge of the designer series paper. For the horse and sleigh, I used Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to add the die cut to the card front so that it slightly overlapped the sentiment label. to complete the design, I added several of the White Snowflakes to the card front and added small Silver Sequins to the centers for an additional touch of bling. I just love the Winter feel of this card design, a perfect contrast on a hot Summer's day.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights July 2023

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's July Monthly International Blog Highlights and I am excited to share with you my card design using new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I love being a part of this wonderful blog hop and seeing all the amazing projects that Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world have created to say Thank You to the people in their lives.

For my card design, I wanted to play with the new Gorgeously Made Bundle and combine it with several of the new 2023-2025 In Colors to create a design with an organic feel to it. I love the textures in the this bundle and I had fun combining the stamp images and detailed dies. This design would work well as a masculine card with these rich, warm colors. 

Products Used:

Gorgeously Made Bundle (item #161203)

Stylish Shapes Dies (item #159183)

2023-2025 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #161646)

Pebbled Path Cardstock (item #161722)

Pretty Peacock Cardstock (item #150880)

Lost Lagoon Cardstock (item #133679)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Copper Clay Classic Ink Pad (item #161647)

Wild Wheat Classic Ink Pad (item #161651)

2023-2025 In Color Dots (item #161620)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Pebbled Path Cardstock

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

Medium Circle die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies

Pretty Peacock Cardstock

1 large detailed foliage die cut with the Gorgeously Made Dies

Lost Lagoon Cardstock

1 medium detailed foliage die cut with the Gorgeously Made Dies

Basic White Cardstock

1 piece - 2 4/8" x 3 1/2" top & bottom die cut with the Gorgeously Made Dies 

Sentiment Label die cut with the Gorgeously Made Dies 

Copper Clay Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5 1/4" x 4"

With the recent Color Refresh, Stampin' Up! has added some amazing new Core colors and I wanted to explore combining some of these new colors with the new 2023-2025 In Colors. I normally gravitate towards blues and greens with a cooler tone, so I challenged myself to explore using colors that I don't use a lot. For this card design, I chose to use Pebbled Path and Copper Clay for my card base and background layer and added some Wild Wheat, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon to create an organic design. I love the detailed dies in the Gorgeously Made Dies and I used the two different leaves dies to create foliage for my design using Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon to add contrast. For the focal panel, I stamped the background with Wild Wheat Classic ink with the script background image and then sponged the edges to give it a distressed, aged look. I die cut the top of the panel to make it look like it had been torn out of a notebook and then die cut the bottom edge to give it the look of a torn edge. I added this layer to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up and then added the Pretty Peacock leaves to some texture and detail. I attached the Pebbled Path circle to the bottom right corner of the panel and attached the Lost Lagoon leaves to the circle. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Copper Clay Classic ink onto the Basic White label and then gently sponged the label with Wild Wheat Classic ink to tie it in with the focal layer and then attached it to the Pebbled Path circle. To finish off the design, I added several Wild Wheat In Color Dots for a touch of bling. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my Thank You card design will help inspire you to explore using the Gorgeously Made Bundle to create your own amazing projects. This versatile bundle is a great way to add texture and detail to your designs to open up new creative possibilities.

You can vote for up to 5 cards each day over the next week, so please take the time to visit my fellow Demonstrators and share the love.
