Paper Crafting Blog Hop – January

12 Comments

Welcome to our January Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator is featuring projects from the new January-June Mini-catalog and the Sale-A-Bration flyer! I’m so glad you are checking out our blog hop this month. You may have arrived here from Annette’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I chose the Paper Blooms 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (#155222) from the Sale-A-Bration flyer for my card. The card base is Seaside Spray, a single 5-1/2″ x 11″ piece. It has a matching belly band. I used 4 pieces of the DSP and one white panel for the message. This is a fun-fold card we did for Monday Night Mystery Stamping.

The sentiment is from Approaching Perfection Cling Stamp Set (#155282), stamped in Night of Navy. It is one of the stamp sets in Level 1 you can select with a $50 purchase by February 28th. I used the Cherry Blossoms Dies (#151456) to create the flowers on the belly band and inside on the white panel.

The sentiment on the inside of my card came from Friend Like You (#149237). I also created a version of my card with Rococo Rose for the card base.

Are you a casual stamper, in the style of the card on the left?
To create this lovely, heartfelt card, use a Stamparatus to line up the floral images from the Back to Back Blooms Stamp Set, then stamp them in Bumblebee and Mint Macaron ink on a Basic White Cardstock layer. (The stamping is overlapped onto the Mint Macaron Cardstock card base for some extra sophistication and prettiness!) Stamp the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart Stamp Set in Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight ink on the Basic White Cardstock label. Finally, adhere the label to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Done! You have an elegant thank you card ready to send in no time at all!
Maybe you are an avid stamper, making cards like in the middle picture?
Step up the second card by adding a lacy edge to the Basic White layer using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. This additional step takes about a minute and instantly enhances the card’s beauty. Once that’s finished, adhere fussy-cut flowers from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper to the front of the card to create a gorgeous, full bouquet. A sprinkling of Opal Rounds completes the look. Tip: Use your Stamparatus to stamp the line art images first. Then, clean the stamp and position it to stamp the solid floral image. (Stamp off the solid image before stamping on the project.)
Or maybe you are an artfully avid stamper and enjoy creating cards like the one above on the right?
For the fanciest card, fussy cut the stamped images and adhere an additional layer of Designer Series Paper to the card front. Die cut the label using the Stitched Nested Label Dies and then—for a final touch—stamp the sentiment on Soft Sea Foam Cardstock. Isn’t it stunning? Sometimes the smallest details can make all the difference in your papercrafting!

Whatever your style, I am here to help you create beautiful cards all the time!
