Kylie's International Blog Highlights January 2020





Hello and welcome,


Today I will be sharing a card that I’ve created for Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights with the theme “Thank you” and I’ve used brand new products from the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue 2020.  


To vote for my card please click here or at the end of my blog.



Thank you is such a powerful word, I think everyone should receive a “Thank you” card and this card will be going to someone special.




The card is based on a card swap that I’ve participated with my fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators and I really liked the card layout by Michele Taylor (she created a card using the Dressed to Impress Bundle). I liked her layout, so I cased it but using the Painted Poppies Stamp set and Peaceful Poppies DSP. Once you have the layout for a card, I think anything is possible when it comes to creating a project.




I just love the Peaceful Poppies DSP combined with the Lily Impressions DSP (which is a Free Saleabration item) the pink in the paper just pops so well together. Lovely Lipstick is such a wow colour to use! 


I’ve used Lovely Lipstick for the card base, followed by the next layer but first running it through with the Subtle Embossing Folder just to give it some texture and I added a strip of Peaceful Poppies DSP.


There are some gorgeous stamps in the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and I’ve chosen the stamp with all of the gathered Poppies. I’ve stamped the image using Jet Black Stazon Ink onto the Lily Impressions DSP and die cut out using the 4.5cm x 8cm Stitched Rectangle Die.




As I had the Jet Black Stazon Ink out and the Painted Poppies Stamp Set. I decided to stamp the single Poppy image onto a scrap of Shimmery White Cardstock and do a little water colouring with my Aqua Painter & Lovely Lipstick Ink. Once dried, I then fussy cut around the Poppy image. 




The stamped embossed image is from the Love What You Do Stamp Set which is from the Stampin’ Up! 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue. I used a piece of Basic Black scrap, rubbed over with Embossing Buddy, stamped the image in Versamark Ink, sprinkled White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then I’ve fussy cut the image out. 


Once I’ve layered all of the pieces of paper, water coloured Poppie and sentiment to the card. I wanted to add some Embellishments, so I’ve used the beautiful From My Heart Faceted Gems, five is a good number and it just gives you some sparkle to the card. 


Thank you for visiting my blog today.
