Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #23: Colour Challenge

by Kylie October 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for October’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. Our challenge was to use Pretty Peacock, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry (all must be used) on a card. We were also permitted to use Basic Black, Whisper White, Very Vanilla and/or Crumb Cake.

Here is the challenge…

Here’s my card…

Let me say from the outset, this was a huge challenge for me! I rarely use these colours and would probably never have thought to use all three together. And, this is one of the reasons I *love* our monthly challenges. It can be so easy to stick with the colours, stamps, designs, etc that you are used to but with prompts like this, we step outside of the familiar. It can be liberating!

I ended up using the Love of Leaves Stamp Set, the coordinating Stitched Leaves dies (available as a bundle for a 10% discount) and the Ornate Frames dies.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Blog Hop Celebrate Sunflowers Designer Series Paper Technique

Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program Blog Hop October 2020

by Kylie October 13, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the first blog hop for Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program for the new Stampin’ Up! year. I so enjoyed hopping with everyone over the past 12 months that I signed up to do it again this new year. The blog hops happen on a monthly basis and it is a fun activity which allows you to express your creativity and see how others express theirs. I love hopping to each of the blogs and leaving a comment.

Thank you for hopping onto my blog. 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.

The card I am sharing today is a Thank You card you might receive from me when you order through my online store. It is made with the same technique I shared yesterday (there’s also a video if you’d like to see it in a little more detail). It’s a super simple card but looks so very pretty.

Pick some Designer Series Paper you like (and, yay, selected papers are on sale this month) and punch out lots of shapes with the Tailored Tag punch. I used papers from the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 Designer Series Paper pack. Adhere the punched pieces on to a separate cardstock panel, trim the excess and add to your card base. You can step up the card at this point by adding an extra mat layer, or you can keep it simple as I have done here. To finish the card I added the sentiment (which was from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set), some ribbon and Rhinestones.

Tip: If you don’t have coordinating ribbon, you can dye white ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends markers as I did for this card.

Here’s the card…

Here are all of the participants…

Thanks for hopping with us. Don’t you agree everyone is so creative and talented. It’s always so inspiring seeing all the gorgeous cards and projects!

Blog Hop Love Love of Leaves

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – September 2020

by Kylie September 15, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the last Kylie’s Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Monthly Team Blog Hop day for the current Stampin’ Up! year. Wow! I cannot believe this year’s training is almost at an end. Thank you for hopping with us.

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.

I really love it when you find a stamp set which can be used in ways which are different from the original design. Today’s card features a stamp from the Love of Leaves stamp set. This set is filled with leaf stamps but one of them reminded me so much of a heart and I thought it would look so good hanging from a branch or line. I added the stripes stamp from the Pattern Play stamp set to an acrylic block but I manipulated it so it was curved. I inked up one line only and then stamped this down. My hearts were going to hang on this line. I stamped the leaf stamp in Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Highland Heather inks along the line at different lengths. I didn’t worry too much if they were crooked but if this worries you, you could use a Stamparatus to ensure they are all perfectly lined up.

The LOVE was created by adding Foam Adhesive Sheets to a strip of Melon Mambo cardstock. I then ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The final touch was some Wink of Stella on the hearts (be careful as this will make the ink move) and some Rhinestones.

Here’s the card…

Blog Hop Pampered Pets Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #22: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie September 14, 2020

written by Kylie

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

Here is the Sketch…

Here’s my card…

This was such a fun challenge. I knew immediately I was going to use items from the Playful Pets suite. This suite is so fun and it offers something for both the dog lover and the cat lover. I decided to make a very simple card – mostly black and white but with small pops of colour. You could easily substitute the dog image for one of the card images. If you don’t like to colour, you could always cut out the dog images for the coordinating patterned paper.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Basket of Blooms Birthdays Blog Hop Timeless Tulips

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – August 2020

by Kylie August 11, 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 simple card using the Basket of Blooms stamp set. It is such a sweet set which you can use to make all kinds of wonderful floral bouquets. I teamed it with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. My idea for this card was to create a pot plant in front of a lattice-type structure and I thought the reverse side of one of the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper die-cuts would be ideal. I sponged it with Rococo Rose ink to tone in with the card base.

This card does have a little bit of fussy cutting as the Basket of Blooms stamp set does not have a coordinating die set but there are some really simple ways to make this process easier. Check out my Facebook Live from last week for some of these ideas.

Here’s the card…

Blog Hop Challenge Sketch Stampers Anonymous

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #20: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie July 14, 2020

written by Kylie

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

Here is the sketch…

Here’s my card…

My card features papers from the gorgeous Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper pack. Of course, I had to make things a little more complicated for myself as I decided to fussy cut out the floral images and adhere them to Whisper White cardstock. I thought the red background of this particular paper was just a little too much for my design.

I also used the fantastic new Foam Adhesive Sheets to pop up my die cut sentiment (from the Well Written Die Set). All you need to do is apply the sheets to your paper, add the die-cut and run it through your die-cutting machine. Makes it SO easy to get that extra bit of dimension for your sentiments.

My other big tip of the day is when using Vellum in the Dainty Diamond Embossing Folder also add a sheet of cardstock. Otherwise, the vellum gets stuck in the folder and will tear when you try to remove it.

Let’s continue on the hop…

Best Year Blog Hop Designer Series Paper Hello Technique

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – June 2020

by Kylie June 16, 2020

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 shared today.

Today I am sharing two cards featuring the GORGEOUS Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. This paper pack has 12 sheets of paper (2 each of 6 designs) and one of the designs just called out to be used with the Spotlight Technique. For this technique, you highlight one area of the paper and add colour while the rest remains plain. It’s beautiful! I couldn’t resist making two cards using this technique.

Here’s the first card…

Blog Hop Challenge Forever Fern Stampers Anonymous Technique Video

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #19: Colour Challenge

by Kylie June 14, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop day! Thanks so much for hopping with us this month. The theme for June’s Blog Hop is a Colour Challenge. For colour challenges, we are assigned certain colours and we must use them all but we can also use Basic Black, Whisper White and/or Very Vanilla.

Here are the colours…

Here’s my card…

At first, I was really struggling with the colours. They are outside, for the most part, my go-to colours. Then I remembered the fabulous Joseph’s Coat Technique. I realised these colours would look AMAZING popping up through the black. I’ve also created a video so you can see the process for yourself. It’s a fun one and I hope you’ll give it a go.

Here’s the video…

Blog Hop Sketch Stampers Anonymous Tasteful Touches

Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #18: Sketch Challenge

by Kylie May 14, 2020

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…

Blog Hop Tasteful Touches

Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop – May 2020

by Kylie May 12, 2020

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 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!
