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.

Stampin' Up! Colour INKspiration #CI59 Colour Challenge Daisy Card

Today I will be sharing with you a card that I’ve created for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI59. I always love these challenges and the colours are so beautiful.

They are Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso you can also add white, black and metallics to the card. 

I wanted a vintage look for my card and I also love using the Daisy Lane Bundle with the larger Daisy Punch. Plus adding some copper to my card gives it some sparkle.

Using both Daisy Punches I’ve punched them out in Seaside Spray Cardstock, sponged them with the Sponge Dauber and Seaside Spray Ink for the center of the Daisy. I used Early Espresso Ink for the tips of the petals, I also added a little bit of Wink Of Stella and a Clear Facted Gems for each Daisy.

For the Leaf Punch I punched out the leaves in Early Espresso Cardstock and sponged them with the Sponge Dauber in Early Espresso Ink. The Copper Trim has been stretched out and attached to the backing of the Daisies.

The Very Vanilla Cardstock was embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder, sponged with a Sponge Dauber and Smoky Slate Ink. The Early Espresso Cardstock was embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder, sponged with a Sponge Dauber and Early Espresso Ink.

I wanted to give the Cardstock a distressed look so with my Paper Snips I ran the blade along the Cardstock giving it a rough edge look. 

The sentiment has been embossed in Cooper Embossing Powder on Seaside Spray Cardstock and a little sponging around the edges in Seaside Spray.

Hope you enjoyed my card that I’ve created for the Colour Challenge and I can’t wait for the next colour challenge.

Happy Crafting

Stampin' Up! Vintage Card ~ Fanciful Fragrance and Very Versailes Stamp Sets

Today I just have to share with you two beautiful Stamp Sets called Very Versailles and Fanciful Fragrance they are both in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue for 2019 - 2020.

I recently had a card class with my crafty friends and we made this vintage card together. 

The inks and coloured Cardstock I’ve used is Gray Granite, Memento Black and Whisper White.

I ran a piece of Whisper White Cardstock through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder, sponged lightly over the Embossed image in Gray Granite Ink and the Dauber. 

The detail of the fragrance bottles is just amazing and when stamped onto the Cardstock you can really see the detail. Using Memento Black Ink makes it very elegant.

For the Ribbon and Trim I’ve used the Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace trim and Braided Linen Trim which has been frayed at the ends. I secured them together with a piece of Linen Thread and I made a bow and attached it with a Glue Dot. 

The font in the Very Versailles Stamp Set is just stunning, I stamped it in Memento on Whisper White Cardstock, fussy cut around sentiment and sponged the edges in Gray Granite Ink.

Gray Granite is becoming one of my new favs at the moment. What do you think about this colour?

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope I have inspired you to create using these two Stamp Sets.

Happy crafting

Colour INKspiration Challenge #58

Hello and welcome to my card creation as guest designer for this Colour INKspiration Challenge for #CI58

The beautiful colours for this challenge are Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Whisper White and Gold. 

I love the photo they had chosen for the challenge especially the pink faux fur stool.

I decided to use the Bloom & Grow Bundle which is on page 131 in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

I used one of the beautiful flower images and embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder onto Shimmery White Cardstock. With my Aqua Painter I water coloured the image in Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake. This set has coordinating Dies so no fussy cutting was needed. 

The sentiment was also Gold Embossed on Whisper White Cardstock and then I die cut the greeting out with the edge scalloped dies.

My favourite die at the moment is the Stitched Lace Die it’s so beautiful and delicate with the stitching. I used the edge die to form the scalloped boarders on either side. 

I just had to create another layer for my card, so I used the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder with Blushing Bride Cardstock and then I layered the Lace Die on top. I wound some Solid Baker’s Twine around the Lace Die, Tin Tile Cardstock and then attached to the base of Blushing Bride Cardstock.

I added some Stampin’ Dimensionals to make the flower images and greeting pop up from the card. For the final touch I added some Wink Of Stella onto the flowers to make them sparkle. 

Thank you for joining us today on the Colour INKspiration hop.

To see more great projects, please keep on hopping along and up next is Kelly Kent please see her beautiful creation.
