Art Gallery Bundle Stampin' Up! Kylie's International Highlights Winners Blog Hop

Hello my crafty friends!  Are you ready for a sneak peek from the upcoming Jan-June Mini Catalogue?  Today I'm featuring products from the Fine Floral Art Suite, which is so amazing! I know you'll love it so much!  


Also today, I'm excited to be part of Kylie Bertucci's International Highlights Winners Blog Hop this month!  Thank you to everyone who voted on my card and thank you for your support. 




The theme for this hop is Thank You.  Here's my card!  All measurements are given in my video (below).




My first look at this entire suite was at OnStage@Home, and I couldn't wait to ink up the floral image.  It's a 2-step stamp and it's very forgiving, which means you don't have to line it up exactly - how awesome is that! 

Let's talk embossing!  The brand new Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder provides such fabulous texture, wouldn't you agree!  I had originally planned a full embossed layer, but cut part of the centre out in favour of the Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate (pssst...it's gold on one side, silver on the other)




I used Smoky Slate & Gray Granite for the flower, and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. Then added Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle.  No fussy cutting here - I used the Floral Gallery dies!




Don't forget to decorate the inside of your card!







I used vellum cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies and placed it behind the flower, then wrapped Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the layer. I adhered the layer to a Gray Granite base.  Next, I heat embossed the sentiment (from the Art Gallery set) in silver.  And you guessed it - I cut it using another die from the Floral Gallery dies.  A few Basic Rhinestone Jewels and voila, the card is complete!

With Gratitude First Frost - Kylie's International Blog Hop Top Ten

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci’s International Highlights for December 2018. The theme this month is “Thankfulness and Gratitude.” Imagine my surprise when I took a look at the results of the votes and saw my card was #1.  Total surprise! I am so thankful and humbled. Thank you a hundred times over for your wonderful votes!





When I saw the theme for December was Thankfulness & Gratitude, I had in mind a simple card of white on white.  Here's my card.



I hope you agree that sometimes less is more.  
A little die cutting and embossing, stamping and you've got yourself a pretty card that would lend itself to other occasions simply by changing the sentiment.


Have you seen the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set?  It's such a versatile set, making it a must-have in your craft stash!  I love the fonts Stampin' Up! used!


The combination of Merry Merlot & Mossy Meadow are a dream come true and perfect for the flowers & greenery in the First Frost Bundle.  Sadly, this is a retiring bundle, as is the Corrugated Embossing Folder, however, you have until January 2nd to order before they're gone forever!


For the inside of the card I inked up one of the flowers, again with Merry Merlot, and stamped the image 3 times without re-inking to achieve the dark to light look of the flowers.



The finished card.  I'm loving the simplicity.
Please feel free to leave me a comment.

International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Top Ten Winners Blog Hop!  I'm honoured and super excited to be one of the winners!  Special thanks to everyone who voted for my October entry!




The theme for the month is 'Sorry', and here's my project:



I love the 'warmth' of this sentiment, and I think a card such as this can be used for many occasions to express sorrow.

The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage, and stamped using Bermuda Bay. I love how pretty it looks and that it fits perfectly into the Foliage Frames Die.  The sentiment layer is popped up on Dimensionals.

Using the Share What You Love specialty DSP, along with Mint Macaron cardstock embossed with the Climbing Vines TIEF helped create a softness to the card, along with the Tranquil Tide Velvet Ribbon. The DSP & cardstock are supported by a Basic Black layer.


For a bit more interest, I added a bit of Chicken Wire Elements, which are from the Holiday Catalogue, and a couple of sprigs from the In the Woods Framelits.  For those, I used Whisper White & Tranquil Tide.



Using Bermuda Bay, I stamped the inside sentiment, from Ribbon of Courage.  Don't you just love the different fonts?!  So pretty!  I again used a sprig from the In the Woods Framelits.  In Whisper White, they are the perfect little detail.


Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog!  Be sure to check out all the people in the blog hop!
