Tuesday, August 10, 2021

Hello and welcome to my blog today.

I am excited to be participating in Kylie Bertucci’s Monthly International Blog Highlights with Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators from around the world!

The theme this and every month is 'Thank You'. Below there is a button where you can visit the gallery and vote for your five favourite cards (I am hoping mine will be one of your favourites 😊!).

I used the Nature's Harvest Bundle, Stampin' Blends to colour the stamped image and the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

Instructions:

Use a piece of Crumb Cake card for the card base. Use a piece of Very Vanilla card which has been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder and had black ink splattered onto it. Attach the Very Vanilla piece to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamp the large floral image from the Nature's Harvest Stamp set onto Very Vanilla card with Smoky Slate ink. Die cut using the Harvest Dies and then colour with Stampin' Blends (Petal Pink, Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent)

Die cut some leaves from Pale Papaya and Polished Pink card using the Harvest Dies. Attach these leaves to the card using Liquid Glue. Attach the coloured floral image to the card using Stampin' and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Tie a bow using two different coloured pieces of the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack. Attach to the main flower on the floral stamped image using a Mini Glue Dot.

Stamp the sentiment from the Nature's Harvest stamp set onto Basic Black card with Versamark Ink and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Attach the sentiment to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals. Add some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels to the front of the card.

Measurements:

- Crumb Cake card base: A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded

- Very Vanilla layer: A4 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"/ 13.9 x 9.5 cm or Letter 3 3/4" x 5"

I am so excited to be part of Kylie's International Blog Highlights Top Ten Winners hop this month. Thank you to all of the people who voted for me! I truly appreciate your vote! This is the first time I have been part of this blog hop so that makes it extra special and exciting!

I also want to thank Kylie Bertucci for giving me the opportunity to be part of this hop and the International Blog Highlights program.

The theme for today's card is "Thanks". I used one of my most used sets since the new Annual Stampin' Up!® 2021-2022 Catalogue was released. I just love the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and coordinating Penned Flowers Dies.

Instructions:

Use a piece of Very Vanilla for the card base. Use a smaller piece of Fresh Freesia card and adhere to the Vanilla base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Use another piece of Very Vanilla and emboss with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this card to the card base using Liquid Glue.

Die cut multiple floral and leaf images using the Penned Flowers Dies from Very Vanilla, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. Lay them into a design that you like and then adhere slowly using Liquid Glue. (TIP: take a photo of your layout prior to gluing it down to make sure you can replicate it)

Stamp the sentiment from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp onto a piece of Very Vanilla card using Fresh Freesia ink. Mat this piece onto a piece of Fresh Freesia card (using Liquid Glue). Attach the sentiment onto the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Add some of the Fresh Freesia coloured 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels to the card.

Measurements:

- Very Vanilla base A4/Letter cut in half lengthwise and folded

- Fresh Freesia layer: A4 5 1/2" x 3 3/4"/ 14.2 x 9.8 cm or Letter 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

I used the Flowers of Friendship Stamp set and combined it with the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and some of the new In Colour Ribbon and Twine. These beautiful new products are releasing today with the brand new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

Stamp the flower from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set onto Basic White card. Colour the image with Pale Papaya Stampin' Blends and the leaves with Soft Succulent Blends. Fussy cut the image out. Wrap some Bakers Twine and Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon around the stem of the flower in a bow, then adhere the stamped flower onto the vellum doily using Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto a small strip of Basic White using Tuxedo Black ink, then adhere this onto the card using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Add some Genial Gems to the card on the DSP Layer
