Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop April 2020

Image may contain: possible text that says 'KYLIE'S DEMONSTRATOR TRAINING PROGRAM MONTHLY BLOG HOP'

Welcome to our monthly Blog Hop! We have demonstrators from around the world that have designed cards this month.  I can't wait for you to see the fun and exciting cards that have been designed this month.  It's also great when you get to see how many different ways you can use your Stampin UP® products. 

Today I used the Beautfully Braided Bundle to design my card.  I hope you like it! 



Afun card using the Beautifully Braided Bundle and the Regal Designer Series Paper.



Project Recipe:

  1. Card stock and Designer Series Paper (DSP)
    Card base: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
    Layer 1: 4 x 5 1/4 (Whisper White)
    Layer 2: 1 x 5 (Crushed Curry)
    Layer 3: (2) 1/2 x 6 Regals DSP
    Layer 4: 1/2 x 3 1/2 (Whisper White)
    Layer 5: 5/8 x 3 5/8 (Basic Black)
    Layer 6: 4 x 5 1/4 (Whisper White)
  2. Using the Dark Basic Black Stampin Blend color 5 small Rhinestones. Set aside to dry
  3. Layer 1 - In Black Memento Ink stamp the large flower on the right side and down about 1 1/4" from the top edge. Then stamp again coming in from the left lower side staying pretty low. Then color in with the Stampin Blends trading off between Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight on each flower and Old Olive for the stems.
  4. Layer 2: Punch out a Braid with the Braided Border Punch (I have found that it is easier to line up if you turn the punch upside down). Then using the Black Memento ink stamp the braid image onto the braid. Then adhere to Layer 1 in the top left corner at an angle, leaving space for the DSP strip above it so about 1 1/4 inches from the corner. (it will overlap and you will need to trim off the parts that overlap)
  5. Layer 3: Adhere to Layer 1, one strip above the braid and one strip below the braid about 1/8" apart. Then you will need to trim off the parts that overlap.
  6. Now your ready to adhere Layer 1 onto the card front.
  7. Layer 4: Using the Blackberry Bliss ink, stamp the sentiment "Your Smile Brightens my day" making sure to stamp close to the bottom edge. Then adhere to Layer 5
  8. Layer 5: Adhere to the card front about 1/4" from the bottom edge and centering.
  9. Layer 6: Using Black Memento ink stamp the flower image in the lower right corner (stampin off the page) then color in with Stampin Blends. Stamp the sentiment "friendship refreshes the soul" in Blackberry Bliss ink in the center.

10. Adhere three rhinestones onto the card front in the upper right corner placing top to bottom in a row and 2 onto the sentiment strip.
