Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop- Go To Greetings

/ 24 Comments

Welcome to the Demonstrator Training Program 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.

For this months Customer Thank You cards I wanted to highlight the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. This is one of my favorite Designer Series Paper Packs in the Annual Catalog. I love all the beautiful colors and flowers so I used a few different patterns of this DSP to create my thank you cards.

To create my cards, I selected the patterns of DSP first then the colors of cardstock and ink to complement the pretty paper. I love how they turned out. I cut all the cardstock for the card bases, the cardstock layer and the DSP and adhered the layers together. Then I stamped the Thank You sentiment using the Go To Greetings stamp set and die cut them with the label from the Natural Prints dies. The contrasting cardstock behind the labels was created using a circle and banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I adhered the sentiment to the circle, then adhered the circle to the banner. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the labels to the card. I added a few Glossy Dots to give it a little sparkle.

I used Masking Paper to create the image for the inside of the card. I stamped a flower from the Happiness Abounds Stamp set on Basic White Cardstock. Stamped the same image on masking paper and fussy cut it out. I put it over my stamped flower image and then stamped the leaves. I used Sponge Daubers to add some color to the flowers and leaves.

Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop – Halloween Treat

/ 12 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop!

We hope you enjoy our Halloween Theme!

We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects using Stampin’ Up! products. Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post. Happy Crafting!

The kid in me thinks of candy, candy and candy at Halloween. I remember as a kid, sleeping with my candy bag so that my favorite candy, gum, snickers, rolos and twizzlers…. wouldn’t mysteriously disappear in the night. With candy in mind, I decided to feature treat packaging for Halloween with the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies and the Pretty Pillow Box Dies.

I die cut the Mini Pocket Envelope and Pillow Box using the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper. I just love how shimmery this paper is and its perfect for Halloween. I used the star stamp from the Alphabest Stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink to decorate the inside of the envelope and box.

I used the Designer Tags Dies and Basic White cardstock to create the tags for the treats. Using the stars again, I stamped them in So Saffron on the tag, then stamped the Trick Or Treat in Pumpkin Pie ink. Before I made these tags I did a few tests on some scrap cardstock with different colors and lining up the letters. I really liked the effect of not linking up the letters and leaving some of them a little crooked.

Stampin’ Blends are great for adding color to ribbon, embellishments as well as coloring images. I used the Pie Stampin’ Blends to add color the super cute Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – September Customer Thank You

/ 18 Comments

Welcome to 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. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

I wanted to feature a Fall theme to my thank you cards. The Leaf Labels & Amber Gems Combo Pack are perfect for this quick and easy card. I colored in a piece of Perfectly Penciled DSP with Watercolor Pencils and brushed on a Wink of Stella over the leaves, which not only give a bit of sparkle to the DSP but also helped to blend in the colors of the Watercolor Pencils. Then I adhered the DSP to a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Layers to the Crumb Cake Cardstock base.

I die cut the stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies and a piece of Brushed Metallic Cardstock. Then with a bit of Stampin’ Seal+ on the back, I added some of the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim, then added it to the lower left corner of of my card.

I brushed a little Merry Merlot, and Pumpkin Pie ink with a Blending Brush on a Leaf Label, to give it a bit of color, and added it to the Brushed Metallic Circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Sending Smiles “A Note of Thanks” sentiment is stamped Merry Merlot on Basic White Cardstock. Then die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it to the card over the leaf and a few of the Amber Gems to complete the card.

A Note of Thanks Card Measurements

  • Crumb Cake Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score and fold in half at 4-1/4″
  • Merry Merlot Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Perfectly Penciled DSP: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
  • Scrap of Basic White Cardstock for the label
  • Scrap of Brushed Metallic Cardstock for circle

Merriest Moments – Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop

/ 4 Comments

Welcome to the Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop!

Thank you for hopping along with the Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! This month’s theme is Christmas In July. 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 hope you enjoy all our Christmas in July Projects!

My Christmas in July card was created with just a few simple products that I had on hand. It was very easy and quick to create. It’s the perfect card if you send out lots of Holiday cards and you want to create multiples of a simple elegant card.

First I started with a Real Red cardstock cardbase, cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored in half and folded at 4-1/4″. Next, using a piece of the Silver and Gold DSP from Sale-a-bration, I die cut the scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours Dies and adhered it to my cardbase. Then using the next smallest scalloped rectangle die, I die cut a piece of the Gold Foil sheets and adhered it to the Gold DSP Layer.

I die cut the next smallest scalloped rectangle die cut from a piece of Real Red cardstock and using a Mini Glue Dot adhered a the snowflake from the Wonderful Snowflakes to the Red Scalloped rectangle. I stamped the sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set in Real Red Ink on a scrap of Basic White cardstock, then die cut it with a label from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered it to the Red Scalloped rectangle, overlapping the snowflake a bit, with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the Red Scalloped rectangle to the Gold Foil layer on my card, and added a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Voila, a pretty Christmas card all ready to go!
