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!

Tri-City Stampers Fall Blog Hop!

Welcome friends to the Tri-City Stampers monthly blog hop!  I'm not excited to see summer go, but, truth be known, I LOVE the fall.  I was out for a country drive yesterday and saw leaves turning to gorgeous fall colours.  Amazing!

Our blog hop this month showcases FALL - yay!  I was so inspired by my country drive yesterday, I decided to feature leaves on my card.  What a mix in this card - rustic, textures and a bit of bling.

I started with a Basic Black base and layer.  The layer was embossed using my Petal Burst TIEF.  Before adhering the layer, I attached Burlap Ribbon with glue dots.  Then using one of my Stitched Shape Framelits, I die cut the square in Copper Foil Sheet paper, which I then popped up with Dimensionals. Next, I stamped the leaf from the Colourful Seasons Bundle onto Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, and Garden Green, using Early Espresso ink.

This lovely sentiment is from the Ribbon of Courage set.  Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the sentiment onto Wood Textures DSP, then die cut the circle with my Stitched Shape Framelits. 

Each of the leaves are popped up using Dimensionals. Depth and texture - love!

I'm lovin' the  Wood Textures DSP, thus here it is on the inside of the card.  The sentiment and leaves, both from the Colourful Seasons Bundle, are stamped in Early Espresso.

Thank you for stopping by my little blog!  Please be sure to check hop on over to the rest of the Trip-City Stampers blogs:

Sending Love and Hugs to You

I love days like today.  I'm feeling productive!  Earlier today I made this card, folded and hung up all the wash, made a delicious lunch, dusted, swept the floors and took Pippin for a long walk.

Do you ever feel like not making a card because you feel you don't have time? Well, if you have ten minutes, I have a card you can make that is quick and easy!  For this card I used two colours of paper - Island Indigo and Whisper White.  Inks used are Island Indigo and Calypso Coral. The floral image is from Oh So Eclectic and the sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage.

Simple steps - cut, score the fold the base of the card. Then cut a 2" strip of Whisper White and a 1" strip of Island Indigo and run them through the Big Shot in the Petal Burst TIEF.  Adhere to card.  Next I stamped the floral image in Calypso Coral and the sentiment in Island Indigo, and die cut them using two sizes of  Stitched Shapes Framelits. Use dimensionals to pop up both die cut circles, then add a few Glitter Enamel Dots.  Not pictured is the inside of the card.  Simply stamp the floral image three times across the bottom of the inside layer.

How easy was that!! 

A close up of the images.  Are you loving the Stitched Shapes Framelits as much as me??!!

Tip

If you want your embossed layer patterns to line up, place glue your layers together, run them through the Big Shot.

My upline held a virtual meeting last night.  I always feel inspired from our meetings.  Not only do we have lots of fun, a game (or two) and watch an awesome card demo, it feels like family.  We share ideas, good news and what's been going on the past month.  Sharing and listening, responding - sure sounds like family to me!  That makes me happy 😊  Happy to be a part of a great team.
