SENDING THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT

At the beginning of each month I will taking part in Bruno & Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop.

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.

For today’s project I wanted to highlight the In Symmetry Bundle.

So remember if you place an order or join with me in October 2021 you will receive one of these cards to thank you for your purchase and if your order is $60 or more I will also send you a small gift.

These cards are bright and cheerful because the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper designs are bright and cheerful. Although I must confess the Night of Navy floral design is my favourite.

I used all the coordinating colours for the card bases – Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade and Night of Navy. Then I chose five of the DSP designs, cut them to size and glued each to a base.

I cut the sentiment panels using one of the Seasonal Labels Dies before stamping the ‘thanks’ using my Stamparatus. The sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and because it’s a cling stamp the Stamparatur allowed me to align the stamp and die cut panel perfectly each time.

The flower and leaves, from the In Symmetry Stamp Set, were stamped on the front panel, card insert and envelope.

The last step was to colour some of the silver Epoxy Essentials in Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade and Night of Navy using the dark Stampin’ Blends. Then I popped three on each card front.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

HEXAGONS!

Hello to each of you who have popped by to see today’s project. Thank you so much for visiting – I appreciate you taking the time.

Today I took inspiration from Melody Hyde, a demonstrator who also leads the Concept Art Team at Stampin’ Up!®. She is incredibly talented and creative, and “knows her stuff”.

She shared a quick vidoe showing how to use the Tailored Tag Punch to punch hexagonal shapes. I have a link to that video for you to watch for yourself:

I prepared my punch with the same markings. Then I chose my Designer Series PAper and colours – Sweet Symmetry 12″x 12″ DSP and Night of Navy meets Basic White.

I cut a 1-1/2″ wide strip of paper from the DSP and then punched several hexagons. I also punched a few Basic White shapes. These three were then stamped using one of the floral images from the In Symmetry Stamp Set using the Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Pad.

The DSP hexagons were the first to be adhered in place. The Basic White shapes were then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is also from the In Symmetry Stamp Set. After it was trimmed down to this size I adhered it directly to the card front.

A bow was made using lengths of White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding and White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack.

The same floral image was stamped on the card insert and envelope. The last step was to add some Night of Nave Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card, just for that bit of bling.

I am so excited by how well this card has turned out! What do you think?

I should apologise for the really short posts that I have for you this week. They were made and scheduled last week because I am out of action for a week – it has been a bit of a ‘rush job’.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.

FUN WITH PATTERNED PAPER

Hello and welcome! I am so delighted that you have popped by today. It is Wednesday and it is time for another Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop.

This week’s theme is Fun with Patterned Paper. I decided to play with one of the amazing FREE Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper packs – Penguin Playmates 12″x 12″ DSP. If you live in Australia, you can ‘earn’ this DSP pack with a minimum $90 order.

For this card, there is not a penguin in site. I used the alternate designs to create this card.

I know that I should be able to tell you the ‘right’ name for this card style, but I’m really not sure. The photos should tell you everything you need to know.

The small front panel has a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock with several triangular pieces of the DSP radiating from the centre.

The greeting, from the In Symmetry Stamp Set, was stamped and fussy cut. Then I added trimmed Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop each word up to achieve height. The fianl touch, for this layer, was to add a few Opal Rounds.

When the smaller front layer is opened, you will find the full card front and the inside of the front flap, which can hold a gift card.

When the card front is opened, there is the card insert – a perfect place to write your message to the recipient of the gift card.

I finished the envelope with one of the die cut triangular pieces of DSP.

The sentiment, ‘Best Day Ever’, is perfect for so many different occasions. And, on those occasions, a gift card can be the perfect present.

How would you use these products? What would it look like?

Make sure that you pop by and see what the other Freshly Brewed Project team members have created:

Happy stamping.
