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!

Happiness Abounds – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

/ 8 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations 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 in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Teacher Appreciation.

To celebrate all the wonderful Teachers who inspired us to learn, I wanted to make a fun fold card using the vibrant new 2022-2024 In Colors.

I’ve been using some new products coming on May 3 in the new Annual Catalog and wanted to incorporate those into my card as well. To start, I chose Orchid Oasis cardstock for the card base, cut to 4-1/4″x 11″, scored at 2-3/4″ & 8-1/4″.

I embossed 2 panels of Orchid Oasis cardstock with the Thanks Embossing Folder from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders. Each one was adhered to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To create the rainbow, I used new 2022-2024 6×6 DSP Assortment and the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis with a stamp from the new Happiness Abounds Stamp set. I love this sentiments and mixed fonts in this set, and I will be using it a lot!

Before adding the sentiment to my card, I cut the same DSP used to create the rainbow, to create the layers under the sentiment. To adhere the sentiment layers to the front of my card, I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and carefully added it to top edge of the sentiment layer, then adding ti to the top flap so that the card would still open. You can see the picture on the right below when the card is open you can see the back of Sentiment layer. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of sparkle.

On the inside Basic White Cardstock layer, I adhered a strip of Orchid Oasis DSP. Using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle created the inside sentiment. I colored the smaller rainbow with Stampin Blends, using the Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Parakeet Party, Light Tahitian Tide and Light Orchid Oasis.

Tea Boutique – It’s Time for Tea

/ Leave a Comment

I am so happy to share with you a card I made with one of my favorite new Suites the Tea Boutique Suite!! It will be available beginning on May 3 in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog!

I love all things tea! I was beyond excited when I saw that this suite is part of a group of select products that Demonstrators were able to pre-order on April 1st. So, what’s available in this suite you may be asking? The Cup of Tea Bundle, Tea Boutique 6 x6 DSP, and Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. I love everything about this great suite, from the images in the stamp set to the bright colors and pretty flowers in the DSP and Cards & Envelopes.

To create my card, I used the Starry Sky Card base from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes pack and layered a piece of Vellum with some Stampin’ Seal. I put the adhesive in the middle where it would be hidden by the additional card layers. I added a square of Basic White cardstock first, then added the slightly smaller squares of the Tea Boutique DSP.

Next, I die cut the tea cup base from the Tea Boutique DSP. Then using Starry Sky Cardstock and an adhesive sheet, I die cut the designed layer of the teacup. With the Adhesive sheet on the back of my cardstock, I was able to quickly add the top layer of the tea cut with no fuss. On the back of the teacup I used a little Stampin’ Seal and adhered a piece of the Gold Simply Elegant Trim. Using a piece of Foam Adhesive sheet I added the teacup to the center of the Squares. I love the look of the Gold added to the teacup, to give it a little eye catching bling like steam coming from the cup.

I wasn’t sure what sentiment to use or where to put it. In the end I decided on adding the cute little tea tag with the sentiment layered on the lemon wedge in the bottom right of the card. I’m really happy with the way it turned out.

The Tea Boutique Suite and the new 2022-2024 In Colors, including Starry Sky which I used on my card today, will be available beginning May 3, 2022. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek at some of the new products coming soon!

Happy Stamping!!

You’re Absolutely Amazing

I had fun creating with the Color and Contour Bundle and a few of the 2021-2023 In Colors. The note cards and envelopes seemed the perfect choice for these cards.

To create my cards, I randomly stamped the flower image around the outside the card base. Then I used the shaded image of the flower to add color to the flowers. Stamping off the shaded image on my grid paper then on the flower allowed me to get different shades of the color on the flowers.

I die cut a piece of coordinating 2021-2023 In Color DSP Assortment with the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I die cut several labels with the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiments with the Color and Contour & the Enjoy The Moment stamp sets. Then added the labels to the Scalloped Doilies with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also put a few glue does on the back of the doilies, to make sure they would stick when I added them to the cards.

I stamped and die cut a flower for each of my cards, and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the labels. Finally, you guessed it, I added a few of the2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the center of each flower for a perfect touch of bling.

I hope you enjoy these cute note cards and are inspired to create a few. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!

Fun with Lighthearted Lines

/ Leave a Comment

I’ve had the Lighthearted Lines stamp set sitting on my stamp shelf for almost a year. it was high time I made some cards with this fun stamp set. The Sweet Symmetry DSP with its bright pretty colors is the perfect fun choice to go with the sentiments in the Lighthearted Lines stamp set.

Using the Basic Border Dies, I die cut multiple pieces of the Dsp. Selecting the patterns to mix and match was lots of fun. Once I had them adhered together I trimmed them down to fit the card bases.

To make this sentiment just a bit more fun, I wanted to easily stamp “Forever” inside on this card. I snipped apart the bottom half of this sentiment, now I can easily use a few of the words individually. I stamped the sentiment in Flirty Flamingo on Basic White. I die cut the sentiment for the front of my card using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered it to a Night of Navy label. Foam adhesive sheets are fast becoming my new favorite adhesive to give my cards dimension. I love that I can quickly cut them to fit and give just a bit more stability.

I used a number of dies to create all the different labels for my cards. The finishing touch on these bright color cards are the Brushed Brass Butterflies. I had a lot of fun putting these cards together.
