Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop May 2022-Lovely and Lasting

/ 18 Comments

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop! We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin’ Up!® business and reach some goals we have set. We really appreciate your support.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

I’m featuring a few of the products from the Lovely in Linen Suite for my Customer Thank You Cards this month! The Lovely & Lasting Bundle & Lovely In Linen Designer Series Paper. I love that the Lasting Label punch coordinates perfectly with the Lovely & Lasting Stamps and all the pretty colors in the Designer Series Paper.

To create these lovely cards, I prepped all the elements needed before I put them all together. I’ve listed all the measurements below. Don’t forget, before cutting your Lovely In Linen DSP, pay attention to the direction of the pattern.

To put the card front together, start with adhering the DSP strips to the card base. I started with the strip on the bottom right, then worked my way around.

To create the center layer I stamped the flower image in Night of Navy Ink on the 1-3/4″ x 3″ Basic White CS. Then adhered it to the 1-7/8″ x 3-1/8″ Payle Papaya CS layer, before adding it to the card.

Next I stamped the label in Payle Papaya and punch it out with the Lasting Label punch. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I added it to the front of my card. Then I added a few of the shiny new Solid Faceted Gems.

Don’t forget to dress up the inside of your card!

I cut a 3/4″ x 5-1/4″ strip of DSP and adhere it to the Basic White Cardstock, then stamped the fancy swirl in Night of Navy.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Masculine Theme – Across the Waves Blog Hop

/ 8 Comments

Welcome to the monthly Across the Waves Blog Hop! This month’s theme is all about Masculine projects. Thanks so much for joining us, I hope you enjoy all our Masculine Blog Hop Projects!

I have been crafting with pre-order products and this months Masculine theme was the perfect opportunity to use more of the new products coming on May 3 that I hadn’t used yet. My card features the He’s The Man Designer Series Paper, and Stylish Shapes Dies.

This card was super quick to make and required no stamping! Crazy right?! So, let me show you how I put this together.

The card base is 2 layers. The first layer is Sahara Sand cardstock, cut to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and a piece of the He’s The Man DSP cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″. The second cardbase layer is another piece of Sahara Sand cardstock cut to 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, and scored at 4-1/4″ and a piece of He’s The Man DSP cut to 3-1/4″ x 4″. I adhered the second layer of the card base to the first layer.

To Decorate the front of my card, using the Die Cut Sheets from the He’s The Man DSP Paper, I punched out the Scalloped Circle and the Crushed Curry Stars. Then using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I die cut a Circle from the He’s The Man DSP, and two of the flagged labels one in Crushed Curry cardstock and and one in Vellum.

I layered the smaller Crushed Curry Label on the Vellum Label with Mini Glue Dots, making sure that the adhesive wouldn’t be visible. Attached them to the card with Mini Glue Dots, again making sure the adhesive wouldn’t be visible through the Vellum.

I layered the Die Cut Circles together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then added them to the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals overlapping the very top of the labels just a bit. The finishing touch on the card front was to add the Crushed Curry Stars on either side of the card and a few Matte Round Dots to the label.

To complete the card, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock and a strip of the He’s All That DSP to the inside. That’s it, quick and easy to put together and it looks fabulous!
