Kylie's Bertucci's International Blog Highlights Winners Hop

Hello and welcome,

Today, I will be sharing a card that I’ve created for Kylie’s Bertucci’s International Top 10 winners! Myself and nine other lucky winners are partaking in a international blog hop. We had won a competition with Kylie’s blog highlights earlier this month. I would just like to say thank you so much for voting for my card, I really appreciate everyone who took the time to vote for my card. To see everyone’s creations please click on the list of names which you’ll see after my blog.

It’s the last day of celerbration today and I had just received the gorgeous Flowering Foils Specialty DSP in the mail. I just love the rose gold and sliver foil designs and it will make any project shine. The paper is so nice to colour-in using the Stampin’ Blends, I wanted the bold flowers in shades of pink using Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick. The foliage is in Old Olive light and dark. Blending the colours together and also using the Color Lifter to create highlights.

As the flowers are bold and I do like the colour Old Olive the stripes from the Peaceful Poppies DSP seemed like a nice combination together. I’ve added the Whisper White crinkled Ribbon around the DSP and tied a bow.

I’ve also used the Tin Tile Embossing Folder in Whisper White Cardstock for the background panel and layered over the Thick Whisper White card base. I’ve sponged Old Olive Ink onto the Whisper White card base before adding any Cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and I’ve fussy cut out the image.

International Highlights Winners Blog hop September 2019

Hello and welcome,

Today I will be sharing with you a card that I've created for Kylie Bertucci's International Top 10 winners. Myself and nine other lucky winners are in a international blog hop in which we won a competition a few weeks ago. To view their creations please click on the list of names which you'll see after my blog.

I've used the Perennial Essence Suite which is on page 107 in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2019 - 2020. This suite comes with the Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Perennial Flower Punch which makes gorgeous layered flowers to your project.

I've used Petal Pink Ink on Whisper White Cardstock to create two flowers and I've used White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Vellum for the third flower. Punch out the stamped images and curl up the flower petals with the Bone Folder. The centre pieces are the Perennial Essence Floral Centres they have an adhesive backing and yellow fuzzy texture which finishes off the flower nicely.

The stamped leaf image is in Pear Pizzazz and coordinates with the Leaf Punch which adds an easy addition and depth to the card. The delicate Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon has been looped on the Vellum flower and I've added another piece of ribbon to the Petal Pink flower. This saves using a whole lot of ribbon which you don't see under the die cut layers of Cardstock.

I just love the beautiful Stitched Labels Dies which I've used three of the die-cut shape images to create layers with Stampin' Dimensionals and Liquid Glue. The two layers under the Stitched Circle layer have been lightly coloured in Petal Pink Ink and a Sponge Dauber. The greeting has been stamped in Pear Pizzazz to coordinate with the leaves.

The card base is thick Whisper White Cardstock and I've embossed a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my card.

International Highlights Winners Blog Hop August 2019

Hello and welcome,

I have some exciting news to tell you! Just a few weeks ago I shared a card that I created for Kylie’s International Highlights and I was lucky to be in the Top Ten. Thank you to everyone who voted for me.

There is a link at the bottom of this blog to view all of the other winners. I just know you’ll want to see what they’ve been creating too.

Now for my card that I’ve created. I just love the Daisy Lane Bundle and I wanted to make a card using Rococo Rose which is one of the new In-colors and Blushing Bride. I love adding a few layers when creating my card and I think I’ve achieved that too.

The Daisy has been created by using a piece of the Fluid 100 Water Color Paper it's nice and thick for watercolouring. I've inked it up using my Aqua Painter with Rococo Rose and Blushing Bride ink. Once the ink had dried up, I punched out the Daisies using both Daisy Punches, two times each. To give each of the Daisy Petals some added colour, I’ve inked up a Sponge Dauber with Rococo Rose and lightly sponged the tips of the petals. The gold leaf has been gold embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool, then fussy cut out.

I’ve used the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder on a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock, I wanted a subtle look by adding Rococo Rose ink with the Aqua Painter and Die cut out the Cardstock with the 3^rd largest Stitched Rectangles Die. I just love the detail of the stitching it just gives that little bit extra to a card.

The next layer is a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock and the Birch Stamp which I stamped off once in Blushing Bride Ink before stamping onto the Cardstock. I used the 2^nd largest Stitched Rectangles Die for this piece.

The third layer that I’ve used is Whisper White Cardstock and I've embossed it with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. To give the edges a vintage look I used the blade of my Paper Snips and roughly ran it along the edge of the Cardstock. Then I sponged Rococo Rose ink around the edges with the Sponge Dauber. I just love this look, do you?

I like to make the pieces of Cardstock layered on an angle, so you can see the different layers and textures of the card. The Daisy has been placed over the gold leaf and adding some bling to my card by placing a Gold Faceted Gem for the centre.

To finish off the card I wanted to add the beautiful Rococo Rose 1/2” Gathered Ribbon and I've layered it under the sentiment. The Gold Embossed sentiment is from the Magnolia Blooms Stamp Set.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and I hope you enjoy the International Blog Hop.

Until next time....
