What's New At SU February Blog Hop Product Coordination

Welcome to the What's New At SU February Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing new products from the Product Coordination Release. These wonderful products coordinate with select products in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog and 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog and are available until March 31st or until supplies last. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as we share ideas to inspire you to create with these fun new products.
 For my card design today, I have chosen to use the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Happy Birthday To You (item #152308), which you can earn Free with a qualifying $50 order, and the coordinating Birthday Days from the Coordination Product Release. I love that these dies mean no more fussy cutting and provide so many options for creating with this stamp set. 
 To create my card, I chose to use Thick Whisper White cardstock for my card base and I added a layer of Purple Posy cardstock that I embossed using the Tufted 3D Embossing Folder (item #151785) to create a soft background. 
The focal image was created by stamping the detailed cake image twice onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images using a combination of Purple Posy, Soft Sea Foam and So Saffron Stampin' Blends Markers. Using the dies from the Birthday Dies (item #153590), I die cut one of the images with the die that cut out the whole cake image and the other I die cut just the flowers image using the coordinating die. 
 In addition, I die cut one of the cake pedestals and two of the fern dies from Silver Foil to complete the design. I snipped off the stamped cake pedestal using paper snips and attached the Silver Foil one to the bottom of the stamped cake image using Snail Adhesive. I attached the flowers image to the cake image using Stampin' Dimensionals, making sure they were lined up. I then attached the cake image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals, placing it towards the top to leave room for the sentiment. 

For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image using Silver Embossing Powder and die cut it using one of the Ornate Frames Dies (item #150664) and attached it to the bottom of the card front with Snail Adhesive. To complete the card design, I added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling and a small bow created using the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (item # 151326). I attached the bow to the cake pedestal using a Mini Glue Dot. 
This soft and pretty card design is perfect for a variety of occasions including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and so much more.

SBTD February Blog Hop Anything But A Card

Welcome to the SBTD February Blog Hop as we showcase Anything But A Card for our theme this month. As much as I love to create cards, it's always fun to think outside the box and come up with 3D project ideas. 
 Today I decided to create this adorable tote bag using the Dressed To Impress Bundle (item #153832) from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog and the Golden Honey Specialty Design Series Paper (item #152311) from the 2020 Sale-a-bration Catalog. I love that we can earn this beautiful paper for free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration.
 To create this bag, I used the dies from the All Dressed Up Dies (item #151665) to die cut the pieces of the bag from one of the sheets Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper and adhered them together with Tear & Tape Adhesive. I die cut the handles from Basic Black cardstock and also used Tear & Tape Adhesive to add them to the bag. The cute little buttons were die cut from Gold Foil and added to the bag, covering the ends of the handles on both sides, using Mini Glue Dots.
The sentiment label was die cut using one of the dies from the All Dressed Up Dies and I heat embossed the sentiment from the Dressed To Impress stamp set (item #151666) using Gold Embossing Powder. I attached the label to the front of the bag using Stampin' Dimensionals. 
I just love the black, gold and white color combination of this tote bag and how elegant it looks. The great thing is that if you buy the stamp set and coordinating dies as a bundle, you save 10%. Plus, if you place a qualifying order of $50 (U.S.), you can earn this amazing designer series paper for free. It's a Win/Win situation. Just think of all the gorgeous bags you could create with these supplies. 
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my pretty tote bag will inspire you to create your own projects beyond cards and see all the wonderful possibilities.

Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop February 2020

Welcome to Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop for February as we showcase current Stampin' Up! products to create projects to inspire you. You will have the opportunity to visit with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as the share their wonderful ideas and creations. 
 Today I created a soft and pretty Spring themed card design using the Positive Thoughts stamp set (item #151490) from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog along with the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies (item #153586) that are a part of the New Coordination Product Release. I love the beautiful images and sentiments in this stamp set and the coordinating dies take all the stress out cutting the images.
 This card design features Purple Posy cardstock for the card base and I embossed the front with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder (item #151775) to add a subtle texture to the background. I added a Whisper White cardstock label that I die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (item $151690) and heat embossed the sentiment using Silver Embossing Powder.
To embellish the card design, I chose Blushing Bride Classic ink for the flower and butterfly images and Soft Sea Foam Classic ink for the leaf spray. I die cut them using the coordinating dies and also cut out two of the small leaf die cuts from Silver Foil. To assemble, I cut the stamped leaf spray into three pieces and layered them behind the top left corner of the sentiment label using Snail Adhesive. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add the flower on top of the sentiment label so that it overlapped the corner and added the two Silver Foil die cuts to the back of the label with Snail Adhesive. For the Butterfly, I used Mini Glue Dots to attach the die cut image, folding the wings up to add dimension. 
 This card design could work for a variety of occasions and the colors are wonderful for creating soft Spring designs. I can't wait to explore more options with this versatile stamp set and coordinating dies.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore creating your own projects. Now it's time to visit the blogs of other amazing demonstrators to see what they have created this month. Just click on the links in the Blog Hop List below to view their projects.
