Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop -- SAB edition

Hello friends!

I hope you are enjoying our February Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop highlighting products from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration (SAB) and the new Occasions catalogs. During SAB you can earn for FREE items with every $50 order...and new free items were just added! Fellow Stampin Up demonstrators from all over the globe are participating in this hop.....we have many wonderful projects to share with you!

You may have arrived from Darla Roberts' blog. Her Lasting Lily project is fabulous!

I was inspired by a pop up slider card Louise Jarosz posted on a closed demo site. I had intended to use the Well Said stamps and Well Written thinlits on this card. I can't quite remember why those plans were tossed aside....but in the end I did create a pop up slider (shout out to Barb Mullikin for her tutorial! click here). I love cards with a movement element. This card is also a full sized card, with the pop up feature attached to the card front providing plenty of space inside for a personal message. Bonus!

My project features the SAB Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the SAB Organdy ribbon combo pack, both available only during SAB. I love Barb's idea of using the rectangle stitched framelits to cut the opening and guesstimating where to score....these framelits are my latest obsession, I can't seem to make a card without them! The framelits and the Beauty Abounds stamp set (featured in this project) are from the Occasions catalog, another reason to love this catalog!

Without further ado, my pop up slider card.....

Monthly Paper Crafting Blog Hop, celebrate Sale-A-Bration!

Hi friends!

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop highlighting products from the 2019 Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalog that you can earn for FREE! Fellow Stampin Up demonstrators from all over the globe are participating in this hop.....we have many cool projects to share with you!

You may have arrived from Sandy Ward's blog. Her So Hoppy project is fabulous!

My project uses the Lovely Lattice stamp set. I attended Stampin Up's big birthday bash in Orlando in November and got a sneak peek at this stamp set; I was smitten. Floral stamps generally don't speak to me, but this one did!

 

This stamp set is so versatile--perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day, thinking of you, cheery hello, etc!

As my card came together, it whispered to me that it was a Get Well card. And I couldn't help but add some of my newest craft items from the Occasions and SAB catalogs. The checked Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Botanical Butterfly--a free SAB item, the Feel Better sentiment from the Humming Along stamp set and the yummy All My Love ribbon combo also from the Occasions catalog, as is my newest framelit love---rectangle stitched framelits!

Do you agree this is definitely a Feel Better Soon card? I envision it sitting on the table next to the sick bed, bringing a little sunshine to someone feeling under the weather 😃

I was inspired by a triple panel card created by Jeanie Stark; click here to see Jeanie's card and her tutorial on her Just Stampin blog. I tweaked the card size a bit from Jeanie's tutorial. I went with a standard A2 size, scoring at 1.25, 2.25, 6.25, and 7.25"; the front panel is 3.5 x 4" and the back panel is 3.75 x 5.25".

I embossed the image with black embossing powder, used clear Wink of Stella with Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, and Crushed Curry ink pads to color the flowers.

I'd love to hear what you liked about my design. Thanks for hopping with us!

Monthly Blog Hop

Hello friends,

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring December holiday projects. Demonstrators from the UK, and the US are participating so we have many fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Sue Boerner's blog. She has a fabulous project!

I decided to share a card featuring one of my favorite stamp set bundles from the Holiday catalog, Dashing Deer, and coordinating framelits, Detailed Deer. My card was inspired by a card made by Michele Chard; click here to check out her video.

I was looking for a project to showcase Frost White Shimmer paint and came across Michele's card---not only did it use shimmer paint, it featured my favorite stamp set bundle, AND I learned that shimmer paint can be used like ink to stamp an image. Jackpot!

My project features pine trees (Nature's Root stamp set) stamped with Frost White shimmer paint and Whisper White cardstock spritzed with Frost White shimmer paint---lots of shimmery sparkle! The sentiment, found in the Winter Woods stamp set (another favorite!), is stamped with Balmy Blue ink. I used silver glimmer paper for my deer and added a flower die cut from the Detailed Deer framelits, topped with a rhinestone for added bling.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Dashing Deer bundle? I'd love to hear what you liked about my design, so please leave a comment. Thanks for hopping with us.

Applying for a Stampin Up Display Board Stamper spot

Hi friends!

If you know me, you know I'm passionate about stamping, Stampin' Up!, and sharing my love of stamping with everyone. Knowing that about me it should come as no surprise that I want to take that passion to the next level by becoming a display board stamper for Stampin' Up!'s big 30th birthday bash in Orlando!

I'm registered for the OnStage event and can hardly wait for November to roll around so I can hang out with my downline and thousands of other Stampin' Up! demonstrators in Orlando!

Patriotic-themed Blog Hop

Hello friends!

I hope you are enjoying hopping around the world with our Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring projects that are patriotic to the country the demonstrator lives in. You may have arrived from Karie Beglau's blog. What a wonderful project!

My project will dress up any 4th of July picnic table. This is super easy project that can be pulled together quickly and will add some pizzazz to your dish!

For the red and blue I used new in-colors cardstock in Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick; silver glimmer paper adds the jazzy "white".

I used the large letter dies to cut the USA letters from the Lovely Lipstick cardstock and the Triple Banner punch to cut banner pieces. TIP: I punched 6 banners so I could cover the backsides of my banners; you could also decorate the backs and use them in a centerpiece dish.

use foam adhesive strips to quickly stick to the letters to the glimmer paper

What do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Blueberry Bushel cardstock (cs), 6 - 2 x 4"

Silver glimmer paper, 3 - 1.75 x 3"

Lovely Lipstick cs, 2.5 x 4"

Large Letters framelits

Triple Banner punch

foam adhesive

wooden skewers (bought at the dollar store; cut mine to 6.5")

Thanks for hopping with us. Now click on the next image to zoom to Elizabeth Green's blog to see the next fabulous project.
