Stampin' Up! Amazing Life - Kylie's International Blog Hop Top 10

Welcome, and thank you for stopping by today!  I thank you for your votes, which put me into the Top Ten, and into this International Blog Hop!

My project today is a birthday card, that is quick & easy to make, even for new stampers!

I started with a Flirty Flamingo cardstock base & layer.  I ran the layer through the Big Shot in the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, which is just lovely!   Before adhering the layer, I added some Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon.

Here's the Country Floral Dynamic TIEF

The stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate, then felt I needed a bit more.  That's when I noticed the sweet little butterflies in one of my fave sets - Needle & Thread.  How cute are they stamped in Flirty Flamingo!!

Did you know you can save 10% by selecting the Amazing Life Bundle? A fun stamp set AND Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies are a must-have for your crafting!!

I die cut the sentiment layer using one of the Layering Circles Dies.  These dies are awesome, and I'll tell you why!  Because it's a circle, you simple can't stamp crooked!  Yup - awesome!

Using my Stitched Shapes Framelit, I die cut the layer in Smoky Slate.  

Once assembled, I added a few Pearl Basic Jewels.  And there you have it - a quick & easy card!

Here's the card so many of you voted on, which I really appreciate.

A Timeless Tidings card with Stamparatus - Stampin' Up!

It's a rainy day in paradise, and I couldn't be happier!  Do you ever find that regardless of rain, snow, heat, or whatever Mother Nature throws at us, we can choose to be happy?  I choose happy!

Let's get to the card I made this morning! 

My feature product this week is the Stamparatus, which is the best stamp positioning tool on the market!  

Yay, Stampin' Up!

Cut all the required piecing, starting with the base of the card. Mossy Meadow cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 & scored at 4 1/4 (all in inches).  Next the Mossy Meadow layer - 3 1/2 x 5 1/2, Merry Merlot strip - 1 1/2 x 5 1/2, and the Whisper White inside layer - 4 x 5 1/4.

Place the Mossy Meadow layer into the Climbing Vine embossing folder, and run it through the Big Shot, then adhere it to the card base.   Next, emboss the Merry Merlot strip using the Corrugated embossing folder.  Use ample Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue to adhere this layer.

Please follow my instructions on the video on how to place the two stamps from Timeless Tidings in the Stamparatus. I went with the same colour combo for the inks as the base & layer, and Whisper White for the sentiment layer.  Can you see the 'stitching' on the Whisper White layer? That's from one of the Stitched apes Framelit Circle die!  A lovely addition!  Take a Layering Circle Die & run it through the Big Shot with a Champagne foil piece.  Adhere the sentiment layer to the die cut foil circle, and pop it up with Dimensionals.  Add 3 pearls to the layer.

I wanted a rustic look, thus the colour combo, and a little help from Wink of Stella.  I meant to use clear, but I used white, so it has a paint-splatter look, which I don't mind.

From Timeless Tidings, I stamped the trees & sentiment in Mossy Meadow, leaving lots of room for a personalized note.

And, the finished card.  Sweet & simple!
