Blog Hop Sketch Stampers Anonymous Tasteful Touches

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #18: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us again this month. The theme for May’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used some brand new items which I know you are all going to love as much I do. I’ve used part of a sentiment from the Tasteful Touches stamp set, new paper from the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper, dies from the Tastelful Labels set as well as the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, and finally, some of the new ribbons from the Flowers for Every Season Combo Pack. So pretty! Oh, and could you tell the base card is one of the new In Colours? It’s called Misty Moonlight and I think it is going to be a favourite of mine.

Let’s continue on the hop…

You might have come here from Nikki Stalker’s blog. Next up, please hop along to Melissa Gifford’s blog.

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Blog Hop Tasteful Touches

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – May 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Kylie’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Monthly Team Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world who are taking part in specialised training focusing on helping us grow a successful Stampin’ Up!® business. We all really appreciate your support.

Maybe you are starting here or you 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 shared today.

Today I am sharing a sneak peek of some new items from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. They are available for Demonstrators to purchase now (and you can select these items in your Starter Kit if you decide to join) but will be available to everyone next month. I’ve used the new Tasteful Touches stamp set, the Tasteful Labels dies and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. They are all gorgeous products!

Here’s the card…

You might have noticed I stamped directly on to the patterned paper? This stamp set doesn’t have a coordinating die set for the leaves but I really wanted to add the leaves and give the card a pop of green. Instead of fussy cutting, I decided to stamp directly on to the paper. If the paper isn’t too busy or dark, stamping directly on to it can be a fun technique.

Another fun technique is to use your Stampin’ Blends to colour the Heart Epoxy Droplets and the White Crinkled Seam Binding. This way you can make it match your project perfectly! It’s one of my favourite techniques. I do this all the time!

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Thanks for hopping with us. It was so fun to take part and I know you are going to love all of the gorgeous creations by the rest of the Demo’s participating!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Beautifully Braided Challenge Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #17: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. I love a good colour challenge but boy, sometimes I find them to be so difficult. This one was one of those extra challenging colour combos. We had to use Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, and Smoky Slate. They are gorgeous colours but I did have trouble making them work together.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

I used the really pretty Beautifully Braided stamp set. I realise the ginkgo leaves are supposed be green but I really love it in Melon Mambo. For me, I found the easiest way to use the three colours was to use a lot of white space.

Blog Hop Rooted In Nature Thank you

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – April 2020 (Thank You / Rooted In Nature)

written by Kylie

Maybe you are starting here or you 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.

I’m actually sharing two cards today. They are both of the same design but I am sharing two different colour combinations. I think this would also be fun using rainbow colours – in both bright and subtle shades. I’ve used the Thank You die and part of the sentiment from the Rooted In Nature stamp set.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Birthdays Blog Hop Peaceful Moments

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – March 2020 (Flowering Foils SDSP / Peaceful Moments)

written by Kylie

Maybe you are starting here or you 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 my card, I’ve chosen to use the absolutely gorgeous Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I *LOVE* this paper and cannot put it down. It’s fun to cut out individual flowers, or use part of the sheet as I have done here. I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends to create a really bold look.

Here’s the card…

It’s a gorgeous paper, isn’t it?! It’s still available for now as part of our Sale-A-Bration promotion (which ends on 31 March 2020). I confess I have been stocking up on this paper but at the same time, I cannot stop using it so I think that’s okay!

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Blog Hop Challenge Ornate Style Seriously the Best Sketch Stampers Anonymous Technique

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 16: Sketch Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Sketch Challenge. I love a good sketch challenge. They challenge me to think outside of my normal square, and they are also great as a starting point when the mojo goes missing.

Here’s our Challenge…

Here’s my card…

This card was created using the Joseph‘s Coat Technique. I hadn’t done this technique for ages and thought it would be fun to revisit. You might also notice something new in this card. I’m using a stamp from the Ornate Style stamp set. This stamp set is part of a new suite debuting in the next Annual Catalogue. It’s really pretty! I also used stamps from the Seriously the Best stamp set for the sentiment. I *love* this stamp set. I cannot stop using it!

Let’s continue on the hop…

Blog Hop Breathtaking Bouquet Challenge Seriously the Best Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 15: Colour Challenge

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. We had to use Purple Posy, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose on our project. We could also add Whisper White, Basic Black or Very Vanilla as our neutral.

Here’s our Challenge…

When the colours were first announced I was stumped. I had absolutely no idea which way to go. While the colours themselves are all gorgeous, it isn’t a colour combination I would have chosen for myself. I guess this challenge just goes to support why I take part in them – they *challenge* you to think about things in a different way, and step out of your norm.

Here’s my card…

I have to say I am so pleased with how this card turned out. I would never have thought to combine these colours in such a way and yet, look how pretty they look together! Now, I want to try and recreate this card but use black in place of the white stamping. How cool is that?! From stumped to inspired! My big tip for creating card like this is to be aware of which colours are most dominant and likely to take over from the others. For this card, the Rococo Rose is the dominant colour so I only put a little bit down compared with the other two colours.

Blog Hop Little Ladybug Thank you

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – February 2020 (Little Ladybugs)

written by Kylie

Maybe you are starting here or you 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 my card, I’ve chosen to use the super cute Little Ladybug and the new coordinating Ladybugs dies. It is such a fun set – great images and sweet sentiments.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t those little ladybugs adorable? Did you notice the spotted background paper? I made that with the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and a sheet of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Simply use a sponge dauber (or stamping sponge) and pounce black ink through the dotted mask. Super easy!

Beautifully Braided Blog Hop Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop 14: Mini Catalogue Products

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us. The theme for today’s Blog Hop is Mini Catalogue Products. We could use any of the items from the recently released January to June 2020 Mini Catalogue.

Here’s our Challenge…

The only challenging thing about this particular challenge is picking which of the many wonderful items to use. The catalogue is filled to the brim with awesomeness. In the end, I decided to go with the Beautifully Braided stamp set. I repeatedly stamped the image over a piece of Shimmery White cardstock. I would have used Watercolour paper but I couldn’t find mine. I do find the Shimmery White cardstock is not too bad for basic watercolouring. I used the Watercolour Pencils to colour the image and then used my Basic Black Stampin’ Blends marker to fill in the background.

The design of the cards is one I actually do quite frequently but hadn’t done so in a while. I was recently inspired to return to it after seeing some cards by Yana Smakula. Yana isn’t a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator but she is an amazingly talented cardmaker.

Here’s my first card…

I decided I needed to replicate this card but this time I didn’t fill in the background.

Here’s my second card…

Do you have a preference? I think I am currently favouring the white background but really…I like the both.

Beautifully Braided Blog Hop

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – January 2020 (Beautifully Braided)

written by Kylie

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.

Today I am sharing two cards using the Beautifully Braided stamp set. I LOVE this set and cannot seem to put it down.

Here’s my first card…

Here’s my second card…

I love the watercolour look. It’s so easy to create gorgeous pieces – and you don’t have to be too precise either! The first colourway is Blueberry Bushel and the second is Old Olive but I think it would look amazing in just about any colour combination, or a mix of colours.

TIP: To get coordinating ribbon, I simply dyed the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with the appropriate colour! So easy!

Here’s a list of all the participants:

Thanks for hopping with us. It was so fun to take part and I know you are going to love all of the creations by the rest of the Demo’s participating!
