Perfectly Plaid for Kylie's Demonstrator Training August Blog Hop

Thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm participating in Kylie's Demonstrator Training August Blog Hop.  I'm so excited to be part of this training program and happy to participate in my third Blog Hop with them! The purpose of the group is for the group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that are part of the program...to share ideas and to learn from each other...to help us in our Stampin' Up! Business.

Today you will "hop around the world" and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.  You are currently visiting Heather Cooper from British Columbia, Canada.  Please take some time to check out all of the blogs on the list below!

I'm using the *Perfectly Plaid Bundle for my sample today. I've paired it up with some *Wrapped in Plaid Specialty 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and I've even managed to throw in the *Merry Moose Bundle. Three for the price of one!!  Here it is:

*New Products from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue, not available for sale until Sept. 4, 2019.

• On the card base of  Shaded Spruce cardstock, I added a piece of Night of Navy cardstock.
• I stamped a panel of Whisper White cardstock with the realistic tree image from the *Perfectly Plaid stamp set by inking it up in Shaded Spruce and stamping a couple of times without reinking to create the depth of a small woods. I also varied the level of the base of each tree to help create that same depth.
• Near the base of that piece of Whisper White I added a length of *Cherry Cobbler 3/8" (1 cm) Diagonal Striped Ribbon, using Snail or stronger double sided tape or glue dots to adhere it to the back of the panel. Then the panel can be glued to the card front.
• On a separate piece of Whisper Whisper White, I stamped the solid moose image (I had to get him in - I'm Canadian, after all!) from *Merry Moose stamp set in Soft Suede using the Stamparatus to be sure I got a solid image.  And I stamped the sentiment from the *Perfectly Plaid stamp set in Cherry Cobbler. It was the first time I used the sentiment, and because I know how Cherry Cobbler can stain photopolymer stamps, so I cleaned it using the new Stamp Cleaning Pad. Wow! What a difference! Barely any colour left at all!! Both of these were punched out, the moose with the coordinating *Moose Punch and the sentiment with the Timeless Label Punch.

*New Products from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue, not available for sale until Sept. 4, 2019.

• I cut a strip of the *Wrapped in Plaid DSP to add to the card front as shown using dimensionals and I used the *Pine Tree Punch to punch a tree out of the same DSP, trim off the trunk and attach as shown to the card front, also with dimensionals. I used mini dimensionals on the moose and had to trim down some of the edge of the dimensional border into thin strips to use on the legs.
• The sentiment is glued down and I took some Gold Metallic Thread and doubled it, then threaded it through a couple of *Jingle Bells for an embellishment.

*New Products from the 2019 Holiday Catalogue, not available for sale until Sept. 4, 2019.

Magnolias for Kylie's Demonstrator Training June Blog Hop

Thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm participating in Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop.  I'm so excited to be part of this training program and happy to participate in my second Blog Hop with them! The purpose of the group is for the group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that are part of the program...to share ideas and to learn from each other...to help us in our Stampin' Up! Business.

Today you will "hop around the world" and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.  You are currently visiting Heather Cooper from British Columbia, Canada.  Please take some time to check out all of the blogs on the list below!

I'm using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set for my sample today. I've paired it up with some Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. Here it is:

• On the card base of  Crumb Cake cardstock, I added a piece of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper, a delicious striped pattern in Petal Pink.
• On top of that I wanted a real kraft coloured background so I cut down one of the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Large Specialty Cards to get that panel to display the magnolia on.
• Some Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon is added to the kraft panel before adhering it to the card base.
• I used the Stamparatus to stamp the large magnolia image from the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The Stamparatus is a real bonus with a large stamp like this, because if any area is not inked up evenly, or if some area gets unequal pressure, it's no problem to restamp the image to get the coverage you need. It was die cut using the Magnolia Memory dies. Using the same dies, some silver foil leaves were also die cut.
• I used the Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Combo and the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends Combo alcohol markers to colour in the image. My technique is to use the dark shade marker to colour in the shaded areas of the image and the light shade marker to blend over the dark marker areas and out into the lighter areas. For the leaves, that filled up the whole area, but for the petals I left some white. The center was the Daffodil Delight Combo.

• The sentiment is also from the Good Morning Magnolia set and was die cut using the double label dies from the Frosted Bouquet Dies.
• The flower had the silver leaves attached to it using glue dots and the whole thing added to the card front using dimensionals.
