He’s the Man for PP615

Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, I am your host for our Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge.
Row Selected: Metallic - Masculine - Orange and/or Yellow
Additional Squares Selected: Die-cut - Embellishments - Birthday

Since it’s the 5th week of the month, it’s time for a “Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge”! I had fun coming up with this board because there are lots of different options to inspire your creativity. I ALWAYS need more masculine cards, so I knew that was going to be my starting point. Which row would you pick? Join us over at The Paper Players and share what you make!  

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo: 
My card uses products from the He’s the Man Suite from the Stampin’ Up® Annual Catalog. Here’s a fun fact, there is NO stamping on the front of the card! The He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper made it easy with the preprinted, die-cut elements. Paired with the awesome masculine patterns and colors in the DSP, it makes it easy to whip up masculine cards in a flash. This paper even makes me a fan of Crushed Curry which, if you have ever visited me before, is a color that I don’t tend to gravitate toward. The coordinating He’s All That stamp set and All That Dies coordinate wonderfully as well. This has become my new go-to for guy cards! 
Card Measurements & Details: 
  • Early Espresso Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
  • Crushed Curry Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
  • He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper: die cut pre-printed notebook paper, edges sponged with Crumb Cake & Soft Suede ink
  • He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper: die cut pre-printed label
  • He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (striped pattern): 2” x 4-1/4"
  • Crushed Curry Cardstock: die cut two banners from All That Dies
  • Baker’s Twine Essentials (Crumb Cake) and Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots
  • Basic White (card interior): 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink and buttons in Crushed Curry ink
  • He’s the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper (card interior): 3/4” x 5-1/4”  
Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set along with a few Crushed Curry buttons from the He’s All That stamp set to bring in some color.

October 2022 - Kylie and Bruno’s Demonstrator Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Kylie and Bruno's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for October! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all over the world sharing our love of stamping. We are all part of Kylie & Bruno Bertucci’s training group where we are having a great time learning and growing our Stampin’ Up!® businesses. If this is the first time you are visiting my blog, welcome! My name is Anne Marie Hile and I live in Texas in the United States. I’m so glad you stopped by today! 

You may be starting here or have arrived from another blog - either way, you can find the link list of all of the participants at the bottom of this post. Happy Hopping! 
Our theme for this blog hop is “Thank You”, specifically the thank you cards we are making to share with our customers this month.

For my cards, I decided to use a new “sneak-peek” set that will be coming out in the Stampin’ Up!® January - June 2023 Mini Catalog. The Framed Florets stamp set and coordinating Framed Florets Dies are absolutely gorgeous with the lovely flowers and decorative oval images. The sentiments in the stamp set are perfect for so many occasions, too. As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder this bundle early and it will be available to order for everyone starting November 1, 2022. There is also a coordinating holiday sentiment stamp set, Designer Series Paper and embellishments that will also be available while supplies last starting 11/1. 

Want to get this Bundle now? You can add it to the awesome Starter Kit promotion going on right now. Learn more HERE

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
Color Combo: 
This past weekend I did a presentation at our team meeting featuring Soft Pastels and was having so much fun creating, I decided to make my customer thank you’s for the month with them, too. It’s always great to have different coloring mediums to use in stamping and the Soft Pastels are very fun to use. I am excited to share this card with my customers to get them excited about the Soft Pastels, too! 

I love the background on this card, don’t you? It almost looks like a starry sky. I shaded a Coastal Cabana Soft Pastel on the Night of Navy Cardstock and wiped off the excess with a paper towel. Next, I used a Water Painter and some shavings of the Coastal Cabana Soft Pastel to add the little “splatters” all over the background. I also colored my flowers with the Soft Pastels and a Blender Pen. Three different ways to use the pastels on one card, so fun! 
Card Measurements and Details: 
  • Night of Navy Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” and folded in half to create card base
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Night of Navy Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 5-1/4”, shade background with Coastal Cabana Soft Pastel, then create some “splatters” of the Soft Pastel by shaving some of the pastel on a stamp block and picking up the color with a Water Painter
  • After shading background on Night of Navy layer, die cut scalloped borders on either side with Penned Flowers Dies
  • Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: scrap to die cut the frame from Framed Florets Dies (save the inner oval from the frame for a different project)
  • Basic White Cardstock: scrap to die cut the frame from Framed Florets Dies (save the outer oval from the frame for a different project) and stamp the sentiment in Momento ink on inner oval
  • Basic White Cardstock: scrap to stamp flower and leaf images, color with Soft Pastels and a Blending Brush, then die cut with Framed Florets Dies
  • Linen Thread and Rhinestone Basic Jewels
  • Basic White Cardstock (card interior): 4” x 5-1/4”
Finally, a look inside the card! I stamped one of the beautiful floral images from he Framed Florets stamp set in Momento Ink and colored the flowers with the Soft Pastels like I did on the front of the card. I decided not to add a sentiment to allow room for a handwritten thank you note to share with my awesome customers letting them know how much I appreciate their support of my business.
