Hello stamping friends! Earlier this month, I participated in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights. The card below is what I made for the event and you can find more details about it by clicking HERE.
Thank you SO much to everyone who voted for my project! I am so over-the-moon excited to have been voted into the Top Ten. As a Top Ten winner, we are invited to participate in a separate blog hop and that is what I am sharing with you today. I am so honored to participate in this blog hop with so many amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators and want to send a big THANK YOU to the amazing Kylie Bertucci for hosting this monthly event.
Two products I seem to keep reaching for in my stamp studio over that past week are the new Playful Alphabet Dies and the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper. The alphabet dies are the perfect size for cards and the patterned paper is a fun mix of polka dots, stripes and other fun designs. I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for this card below along with a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo:
To add just a little more to the bold sentiment, I pulled out the Ornate Thanks Bundle for some smaller sentiments to add a little more interest. Of course, no card is ever finished until the sparkles make an appearance. Once adhered the letters to the Night of Navy Die cut (from the Hippo & Friends Dies), I spritzed it with a mixture of a few drops of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol in a Stampin’ Spritzer. One little tip, it’s best to use rubbing alcohol that is 70% or LESS for this technique. Anything higher than that and your shimmer paint might “curdle” and that’s no fun. The finishing touch was to add a few Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins to keep the “polka-dot party” going on this card.
