Believe You Can Host Set Sneak Peek for #PCC334

Hello and welcome to my second post today; this post is for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Challenge. This week we have a fun color challenge for you. We are using Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist and a Mystery Color. So this makes it super fun to play with. I am giving you a little sneak peek a new Host set that will be coming in the 2019 Annual Catalog. This is a super fun stamp set, and very encouraging. Here's a look at my card today.

Here's a look at the color challenge image that inspired my card today. You can also take a little time and play along with us here as well. You can also see what the other designers came up with. All you have to do is click on the sketch image.

As I said my card is a sneak peek of one of the new host sets that will be in the new Stampin' Up! Catalog. This is a fun set that allows you to use any color media you would like.

I used my Stampin' Write markers to color the flowers on the die cut. I used Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist. The mystery color I threw in was Mango Melody. The colored strip of card stock going up the right hand side of the card was repeatedly stamped in the alternating colors that were used. Then I trimmed it down and added it to the embossed panel. Which by the way was embossed with the Country Floral 3D embossing folder.

This will be a fun host set to pay with and I can not wait to share with you a few more cards using it. I hope that you have enjoyed my card today and that you will take time to play along. Thanks for dropping by.

Happy Stampin'

Dear Doily Thank You Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you my March thank you card. Everyone that placed a order with me will be getting one of these in the mail very soon. For my Thank you card I used the Dear Doily Stamp Set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. The matching thinlits have already sold out so the bundle is no longer available. But, the stamp set is a very beautiful set and deserves some love. Here's a look at my card.

Since I knew I was only going to be doing some stamping and a little work with a couple punches I went with the out going 2017-2019 In Colors as my ink colors and color scheme of my card. I am so going to miss these colors. It will be very hard to say goodbye to Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink, & Tranquil Tide. If you want these colors you need to order everything you can with them now. You can pick them up in my online store. Once the retiring list (if not before) is announced mid April these colors will be gone for good.

Once I picked out the colors it was just a matter of stamping all the doilies. I used all of the out going colors on my card. For the inside of the card I stamped some of the doilies, and a sentiment on the inside.

Once I had the inside stamped and the outside I worked on the sentiment and punched it out using a 2'' circle punch. After that I punched out a 2 1/4" circle to layer the outside sentiment on. Using a couple Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the sentiment for a little more interest.

I hope that you have enjoyed my card today; If so you can order the supplies in my online store 24/7 by clicking either on the Shop Now Tab above, by clicking here, or by clicking on the items in the Stampin' Up! Shopping List.

Happy Stampin'

Climbing Roses for Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the first ever Stampers Showcase Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from different countries that got together to share inspiration with you monthly. This month our theme is Thanks! If you have came to my blog from Annette Ball's Blog or if you are starting here welcome. I am sure that you will find some great inspiration along the way.

For my card today, I used the Climbing Roses stamp set from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. This stamp set also comes with matching dies and you can get them both in a cost saving bundle. I actually used both the stamp set and the matching framelits on my project. Here's a look at my project.

Climbing Roses Stamp Set, Stampin' Up!, Rick Adkins, Thank You Card

Since this is the first blog hop I wanted to create something a little special. So I created a card with a little off the edge element. I started out by stamping the cluster of roses from the Climbing Roses stamp set at the top and bottom of a piece of Strathmore Bristol paper with Versamark ink and added Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and setting it with my heat tool.

After that was done I used my Subtle Stampin' Write Markers and a blender pen to color in each rose and leaf. I used Petal Pink for the roses and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. On the open roses I used So Saffron for the center. I started out by adding the marker to the darkest areas and used the blender pen to pull the ink out to the edge: I repeated the process with each leaf. This is were the Bristol paper comes in handy. The ink sits on top of the paper longer so it allows me to more it around with the blender pen. With normal cardstock the ink sinks into the paper a little to fast to do this same technique. Once I got all the coloring done and the ink had dried I came back and added the So Saffron to the center of the open roses and blended it out in the same way.

Once I had all the coloring done I came back and used the Rose Trellis Thinlits and lined up the matching die with the rose image and ran it through the Big Shot using the partial die cutting technique. I then repeated it on the opposite side. Once this was done I took a t-square ruler and lined up and drew a line with a #2 pencil matching up where the die cutting ended. At this point I used my Stampin' Trimmer and cut each line stopping at the die cut line. What was left I used my snips and trimmed off where I didn't cut through. By doing this it allowed me to create the square and rose element you see above. I then added two stitched lines around the square using my t-square ruler and a journaling pen and pear pizzazz stampin' write marker. I finished off the main element by heat embossing the Thank You from the stamp set in gold stampin' emboss powder.

I then took my card base (Petal Pink 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2) and the trellis die and ran it through the Big Shot with the Stampin' Up! embossing mats. This created a nice textural element to my card without having to die cut any additional cardstock and attaching it the the card base. It's really subtle but very pretty.
