The Joy of Sets January 2020 Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to The Joy of Sets January Blog Hop! We are a fun group of stampers to love to share our creativity. I’m super-excited to be participating in the blog hop for the first time this month. Yay! If you are joining me from Susan’s blog, or starting the hop here with me, welcome! I’m Anne Marie Hile from the USA and I’m so happy that you stopped by today. 
Our theme for the Blog Hop this month is “Something New”! 

I have a LOT of new stamping goodies in my studio right now with the recent release of both the Stampin’ Up!® 2020 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A Bration is one of my favorite times during the Stampin’ Up!® year because you can earn exclusive items for FREE with your qualifying purchases. Everyone loves free product, right? You can learn more HERE

For my project, I decided to show a few of those items that can you can earn during SAB. I love that so many of the products are designed to coordinate together! 


Color Combination:

My card features the Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set, coordinating Lily Pad Dies, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper and the Stone 3D Embossing Folder which is part of the Power Of Hope Bundle in the Sale-A-Bration offering. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, available in the Mini Catalog. I’ve also included a full list of supplies used to make my card at the end of this blog post. 

This card comes together really easily! To start, I embossed the Bermuda Bay layer with the Stone 3D embossing folder for added texture. Next, I die cut the scalloped trim in Blackberry Bliss using the Lily Pad dies and adhered it to the back of the DSP layer. All of the layers were then adhered to the card using liquid glue. I stamped the lily and three leaves and die cut them with the Lily Pad Dies.  The sentiment is stamped on the second largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies. The lily and circle were popped-up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.   
Card Measurements:
  • Grapefruit Grove Card Base - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
  • Blackberry Bliss Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Bermuda Bay Cardstock (embossed with Stone 3D Embossing Folder from SAB Power of Hope Bundle) - 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” 
  • Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper - 3-7/8” x 1-3/4” 
  • Scraps of Grapefruit Grove, Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green and Whisper White Cardstock for stamped images and die cutting
  • Whisper White Cardstock (inside card) - 4” x 5-1/4” 
Here is a close-up of the detail using the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. That little bit of sparkle is a tiny accent that really dresses up the flower and leaves beautifully, don’t you think? I also colored a trio of rhinestones with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends marker so they complimented the colors on the card. 

For the inside of the card, I stamped a smaller floral image from the Lovely Lily Pad set and left it blank. The card would work for a few different occasions, so I can add an appropriate sentiment inside when the occasion presents itself. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
