Adding texture to any project is fun, but did you ever think about using a die cut to add texture without all of the lumps and bumps?
Hello stamping friends! Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop, where this month we are all about the amazingly beautiful Peaceful Poppies Suite which is found on pg. 24 - 27 of the Stampin' Up! 2020 Jan - Jun Mini Catalogue. International readers please use the translate feature, found in the side bar, to translate to your language. The hand painted blooms and watercolour washes in the gorgeous DSP make for beautiful backgrounds on all your projects. The Peaceful Poppies Suite Bundle includes two stamp set and die bundles for even more fun! The outline poppy images accented by watercolour effects allow you to choose from a large range of inspiring coordinating colours to design your projects. This suite can be used for any occasion, whether it be for sending a birthday card, your deepest sympathy, or celebrating a friendship, your handmade creations are sure to shine as bright as a field of poppies when creating with this suite. Click picture to shop products from my store. While the suite has lots of reds and purple colours I've moved away from these colours today to show you some projects in some softer pink colours. Before I made my two cards I did a bit of a Google search to see what colours Poppies actually come in, I'm not much of a gardener, so I wouldn't know, and it turns out they come in a whole range of colours. Ranging from whites, pinks, reds, purples, yellows, oranges and even blues. I've even only known them to be red because of their association with Rememberance Day (11th Nov) and ANZAC Day (25th April) here in Australia. The red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. My two projects today are incorporating some of the pink colours in the Stampin' Up! colour family for a softer and 'pretty in pink' look. My first card uses Shimmery White Cardstock, my favourite 'white', for the base layers and then over that is a layer of vellum embossed with the 3D Scripty Embossing Folder. If you were to pick one embossing folder to go with everything, that would be the one I would tell you to choose. It's just gorgeous. Over the base layers I've put some pieces of Basic Black cardstock and then layered over that is the large Poppy blooms in the colours Petal Pink, Blushing Bride and Flirty Flamingo. Pretty!!! Layered with the Poppies is some of the leaf die cuts as well as some pieces from the Peaceful Poppies Elements. I love the look of layering the two pieces of the Poppy in the same colour for that tone on tone look. It makes it look like the Poppy Blooms are all one piece. The accents of the gold sequins, from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins, and the Gold Glimmer Paper really gives the projects that 'finishing touch'. My second project again starts with the Shimmery White cardstock for the base, the same as the first card. But this time I've layered the Poppy Blooms under a Stitched Rectangle Frame for that layered framed look. I've used the same colours again for the Poppy flowers and accented the main flower with the left die cut and some pieces from the Peaceful Poppies Elements. The 'Happy Birthday', the same as the first card comes from the Peaceful Moments Stamp set. The card has then been finished off with some Linen Thread, Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, Gold Sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins and some Gold Glimmer Paper. I do hope that when you get products from a suite that you do try to use them with colours other than the coordinating ones. You'll be amazed at the different looks you can get when you change things up a bit. Now on to the oh-so-amazing Stesha Bloodhart in the U.S. with her stunning Peaceful Poppies projects. That girl is so creative. I'm sure she will provide you with lots of inspiration. There are so many amazing projects with this suite to get the creative ideas flowing. I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs.

Welcome to the final Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team monthly hop for 2020. It's also my final hop. It seems only a moment ago that I was nervously preparing my first ever hop, yet over the course of this year the world has changed in many ways we couldn't have imagined back in January. This year on the Artisan Team has been fabulous for me. I've met so many people, tried out new products and stretched myself creatively. It's been so lovely to hear from so many of you who have shared this journey with me. I know that you'll be equally welcoming of the 2021 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design team who will take over after this hop. In case you missed them, here they are. Here's the links to their blogs and instagram so you can get to know them a little better. Alicia Yap: Blog | Instagram Angela Meiritz-Reid: Blog | Instagram Anna Pickering: Blog | Instagram Brenda Nelson: Blog | Instagram Chelsey Christensen: Blog | Instagram Chloe Evans: Blog | Instagram Christine Wrede: Blog | Instagram Elodie Ventroux: Blog | Instagram Hélène den Breejen: Blog | Instagram Janneke Dijkstra de Jong: Blog | Instagram Leah Fedynak: Blog | Instagram Lisa Flemming: Blog | Instagram Manuela Geiswinkler: Blog | Instagram Martin Stone: Blog | Instagram Melanie Joyner: Blog | Instagram Narelle Fasulo: Blog | Instagram Susan Wong: Blog | Instagram Tami Hewlett: Blog | Instagram Tammy Wilson: Blog | Instagram Tatiana Tobin: Blog | Instagram Zsuzsánna Balázs: Blog | Instagram Today's hop is all about the Posted For You bundle, a very versatile combination of stamps and punch that cover a range of occasions. As you see here there are sentiments for several occasions, along with supporting images. The Postage Stamp punch really elevates the images, letting you create personalised 'stamps'. Of course, being a bundle, it is also a way to stretch your money. Here are both my projects together. I'll give you some more details about each as we go but each uses a mix of Whisper White, Rococo Rose, Silver with touches of Old Olive and Crumb Cake. Posted For You Wedding Card I've embossed a piece of Whisper White using the Scripty embossing folder (another of my favourites) and giving it a narrow mat of Rococo Rose before adhering it to a base of Thick Whisper White. Then I've very lightly sponged the area where I wanted to add the embellishment cluster with Rococo Rose ink and a Stampin' Sponge. This simple technique is a great way to add coordinating colour and to accentuate the embossed pattern. To create the cluster, I stamped three of the 'LOVE' stamp in Tuxedo Black and using Stampin' Blends to colour them. One I punched out using the Postage Stamp punch. I also punched out a backing in Rococo Rose card. The other two coloured images, I fussy cut. I stamped two of the 'Special Delivery' images in Crumb Cake and cut them out using one of the small scalloped circles from the Layering Circles die set. I like the way this gave them a postage stamp style edging. Finally, I arrange those things, along with a piece of Whisper White polka dot tulle ribbon on the sponged area of the card front. The main image is popped up on Dimensionals to add more sense of depth to the design. Three well-placed Basic Pearls in different sizes completed the romantic, wedding card look. Posted For You Birthday Card This card uses many of the same ideas but arranged and executed in a different way. Instead of sponging under the cluster to draw the eye, I've repeat stamped the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment in Rococo Rose. Then I've embossed the card front with the Subtle embossing folder before adding it to a narrow mat of Rococo Rose and adhering it to a Thick Whisper White card base. To create the elements for the cluster, I've embossed the small birds image with Silver Embossing powder and I also did two of the floral stamp. All of them were coloured with ink and water painters. The birds image I punched out with the Postage Stamp punch and this time, I gave it a Silver Foil backing. The two floral images were fussy cut. As in the first card, I've stamped two 'Special Delivery' images in Crumb Cake and cut them with a die from Layering Circles. This time, I've used the Whisper White polka dotted tulle ribbon wrapped around the card front to back the sentiment, which is white embossed on Rococo Rose card. The banner was cut with the Pick a Banner punch. This time, in addition to adding the three pearls, I've also added a linen twine bow. I hope you're enjoying hopping around our projects and that something you see will inspire you to give it a go. Next up on the hop is the wonderful Lauren Alarid, aka The Crafty Peach.

05.26.2021…..Happy Wednesday, everyone! I’m so excited to share my May monthly showcase projects for the Stampin’ Up! 2021 Artisan Design Team! For this month’s projects, I was asked to use the Color
Good Day Crafty Friends, Welcome to the 2019 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop for July. Can you believe this crew of talented artists have been creating wonderful projects together for over six months. We have officially pass the half way mark of our amazing journey, and wowsers, what a journey its been so far! We had a challenging start with a few cancelled projects but this amazing group of talent stood up to the challenge and we nailed the new assignments every single time. I am so proud to be part of the 2019 ADT, I love these ladies and cherish the bond we have created. I will be sad when this amazing experience is over, but forever grateful for the friendships this opportunity has given me. Enough chit chat about that before my eyes start leaking lol. Lets get onto this spectacular Blog Hop. This month the Artisan Design Team are showcasing the gorgeous Perennial Essence Suite. You can find all the stunning elements in this floral packed suite on Page 107 in the 2019 Annual Catalogue. So many pretty components in this product suite and omg the Perennial Essence DSP Pack is just amazing. For those who want it all, you can now order all the items in a product suite with one code, the Perennial Essence Product Suite code is #152166 and includes all the items featured on Page 107. I have to admit I was a little intimidated by this gorgeous Monet inspired Designer Series Paper (DSP). Each sheet makes for a stunning framed art decor item (which I have done in my crafty space by adding left over pieces of the DSP to plain white frames). Also, I had never seen coloured vellum so this really freaked me out lol Everything is so pretty and delicate I seriously struggled with those first cuts. But cut I did and what do you know? After a little play, I was away and managed to create a whole heap of projects. The first card I have to share with you today has an embossed gold Foil border, framing the piece of DSP like it were a picture hung on a wall. The Whisper White Background has been embossed with the Lace 3D Embossing Folder to match the embossing on the Gold Foil Frame. The Gold Foil and Whisper White frames were created using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The stamped images were inked with Rococo Rose and fussy cut, with the leaves gold heat embossed on Vellum Cardstock. The sentiment was also white heat embossed onto Vellum and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The second card is where I went a little cray cray with the sewing machine. I am not a sewer and only own the machine for card making purposes lol. I admire those who can sew in perfectly straight lines. Hint/Tip To achieve straight lines when sewing on cards, use a ruled pencil line as your guide - thanks to Melody Hyde (Stampin' Up! Concept Artist) for this awesome tip. Again, using the framed art concept. This frame was kept white as I found it helped the white heat embossed sentiment stand out a little more prominently. The Stitched Nested Labels Dies were used to die cut the vellum sentiment, which was added to the backside of the frame before adhering to the DSP card front. The floral images were inked with Blushing Bride and then sponged in the middle with Melon Mambo. Granny Apple Green ink was used for the leaves. The detailed white foliage pieces you can see behind the floral images in both this and the first card I shared, are actually a Memories & More Card from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. The laser cut seaweed inspired M&M card was ideal for these images as the die cuts are so delicate and complimented the stamped image perfectly. The last card in this trio is mainly created with Vellum Cardstock. Yep that base is Vellum!! The quality and thickness enables it to stand and therefore perform like a standard piece of card stock. A panel of DSP has been covered with plain vellum and then this was sewn directly onto a panel of Petal Pink Vellum from the Perennial Essence Vellum Cardstock Pack. The floral images were white heat embossed onto the same Pink Vellum and then fussy cut. Mint Macaron stamped leaves were tucked under the flowers and a white heat embossed sentiment was added to the top panel of Vellum just to the right of where the flowers are placed. When I went back through my photographs of creations using elements from the Perennial Essence Suite, I realised I sure did make a few cards with these amazing products. I really love the floral images in this stamp set and it also turns out I used the DSP quite heavily too. Yay!! Here are a few projects for further inspiration. This next creation I have to share is a pocket card and combines a few other products outside the suite. I wanted to show you that the Perennial Flower Punch, which is part of the Perennial Essence Suite, can be used to create these stunning 3D flowers simply by punching plain white tissue paper. Once you have all the layers glued together - I used small dots of Multi Purpose Glue, I popped one of the fluffy Perennial Essence Floral Centers in the middle and voila - such a pretty, delicate and realistic looking paper flower. The Belly Band for this Pocket Card was decorated using the Detailed Bands Die cut from Whisper White card. The fern image from the Daisy Lane Stamp Set has been stamped in Granny Apple Green and fussy cut. The floral images on the Pocket Card insert has been inked in Daffodil Delight with Grapefruit Grove ink sponged in the centre. A Stitched Circle die cut from Granny Apple Green cardstock was adhered to the top of the card insert, then a hole punched in the centre so that some Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon could be added for the pulling mechanism. Just in case you were still sitting on the fence with this fabulous Suite of Products, I have a few more projects to share with you (insert smiley face here) Okay, seriously, I hope you are still with me and I've not put you to sleep yet. Rest assured, that is all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and hopping with us. The Artisan Design Team appreciate the time you have invested to visit our blogs.
