Hello and welcome to my second blog post today.  I am popping on again to take part in Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop, we all have some wonderfully fun projects for you and I know that you are going to love having a look at all of them.  This hop will take you around the world well several countries with demonstrators that take part in Kylie's international demonstrator training.  For my card today, I created a fun feminine birthday card featuring products from the Needlepoint Nook Suite in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  Here's a look at my card.

I picked the some of the Needlepoint Nook Suite to use for my card today, one because it's a very pretty suite and I feel that it hasn't been used to it's fullest as of yet.  I paired the Needle & Thread bundle with the Eastern Medallion thinlits to create a fun whimsical card that is perfect for a birthday.  I started out my cutting a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  I used a piece of the Needlepoint Nook designer series paper that was cut at 5 1/4 x 4 which I layered on a piece of Tranquil Tide Cardstock (4 1/8 x 5 3/8).  The products from the Needlepoint Nook suite have a fun quality to them, the images from the designer series paper was first created by one of the designers from Stampin' Up! and then photographed and laid out in Photoshop to create each pattern.  The Needle & Thread stamp set is our first Distinkive set in photopolymer, which makes it extremely cool.

I stamped several of the floral images from the Needle & Thread stamp set using colors that I pulled straight from the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper.  I used Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Tranquil Tide, and Highland Heather inks.  Once I had everything stamped I used the matching framelits to cut them out.

I layered and arranged the flowers that I stamped and then cut them out using the matching framelits.  I also used cut on of the Medallions out from the Eastern Medallion Thinlits from Champagne foil to help add a little sparkle and shine.  For the inside I added a piece of whisper white cardstock and used one of the stitched dies and added it to the inside of the card.

All My Love You....Make Me Happy

All My Love Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Be Mine Stitched Framelits, Rick Adkins

Hello and welcome to my blog.  Today, I am going to share with you a card showcasing the All my Love Designer Series Paper; which is in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog or as some refer to as the Spring/Summer Catalog.  This beautiful designer series paper can be used for so much more than just Valentine's Day!  With its classic color combinations and the hearts and floral patterns you could use it for any romantic occasion or event.  Here's a look at all the patterns in this wonderfully romantic pack.

So you can see what all the wonderful imagery how you could create projects not just for Valentine's Day but for any love filled day of the year.   

I just love the mix of floral patterns and the hearts.  Not even to mention that some of the hearts have flowers in them.  I can see this pack being used for Valentines, Spring Weddings, Anniversaries, Birthdays, and so much more.  I know I said that before but I felt like it needed a little more attention.  Because I don't want you looking over this pack of romantically colored designer series paper and it be gone and you start saying I wished I would have gotten that pack.  If you don't get it before it's gone its your own fault.  I am just going to tell you I told you to get it before it was to late.  I spent a whole week showcasing it, telling you great and wonderful it was and told you to pick it up in my online store.  I am sorry if you missed it but I told you so.  That will be my response so just know that that's what will be said if you message me and say I wished I had gotten it.  I am just saying.  



All My Love Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Be Mine Stitched

This is probably one of my favorite cards using this pack of designer series paper.  You may be asking yourself why?  Well, it showcases as much of the designer series paper as I possibly could.  

Sizes & Dimensions: 

  • The card base is made from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock that was cut at 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2
  • 1st layer of DSP is cut at 4 x 5 1/4
  • The third layer, which is made of whisper white cardstock and features the most wonderful stitched scalloped edge is 3 9/16 x 5 (after it was cut using the edgelet).  I started out with a piece that was 3 3/4 x 5.  
  • The crumb cake mat is 1 3/4 x 5 
  • and the last layer of DSP was cut at 1 9/16 x 5. 
  • The Whisper white & lovely lipstick hearts where all cut from scrap pieces of cardstock.  Use what you have up before you cut into that new piece of cardstock; right!  
Okay I don't know what's up with the 16ths today I am just going to go ahead and apologize now.  Sorry everyone!

Occasions Catalog, along with some of the products from the All My Love Suite.  These products are not are not only perfect for Valentine's Day, but for any occasion that represents love.  So it was all perfect for this Sampler that features a picture from her wedding.  The floral images and classic color combinations of the designer series paper make it perfect for any of these occasions.

  • Lovely Lipstick Cardstock 8 x 8 
  • Crumb Cake Cardstock (3) 2 x 2, 3 x 3 & 2 3/4 x 4 1/4
