Positive Inkers Global Design Team - April 2022

Hello there stamping friends! I’m thrilled to be blog hopping today with the Positive Inkers Global Design Team. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the globe who are super-excited to share our love of creativity. I’m so happy you stopped by today!

If this is the fist time you are visiting, please let me introduce myself. My name is Anne Marie Hile and I live in San Antonio, Texas. Welcome!

Our theme for this month is: Flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog. There are SO many beautiful floral sets in the January - June Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog! I decided to create with the Flowering Tulips stamp set and coordinating Tulips Dies for my card.

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my cards below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.

Random question…do you watch or listen to anything while you create? Or do you just enjoy the silence? I’m usually either listening to a podcast or rocking out to my favorite tunes. The type of music varies with my mood but I’m always down for a good true crime podcast. Occasionally, I binge watch a series on Hulu or Netflix but for the most part, I like to create when all I have to do is listen, not watch. It helps to keep me focused on my card. Please share what your crafting “ambiance” looks like in the comments on this post. I’m curious.

This is the second time I've inked up this stamp set and It’s absolutely stunning, especially during the spring season. The stamps layer together beautifully to add so much texture to the stamped flowers.

I’ll be sharing how to make this card on my Facebook Live tomorrow (4/1) if you’d like more details on how to put it together.

**Edited to add, watch the Facebook Live replay below:

Flowering Tulips for PP580

Happy Sunday, friends!

Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!

This week, I am thrilled to be hosting our Sketch Challenge.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sketch challenges are my favorite! I had fun designing this layout and I hope you like it as well. The focal image can be any shape or element you desire, so have some fun with it. We’d love to see what you make with it!

For my card, I decided to use the Flowering Tulips stamp set and coordinating Tulips Dies from the Stampin’ Up!® January-June Mini Catalog. This is such a fun bundle and the dies create the most beautiful tulip bouquets! I will admit, it did take just a little bit to figure out how the pieces fit together, but after that the card came together easily. I also added a few Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals between the layers inside the tulips, so the flowers really pop off the card.

*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:

The Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper is absolutely gorgeous and I just love this pattern with the mix of purples and greens. My grandmother had tulips in her garden and my favorite were always the deep purple tulips because they always stood out amidst the other bright colors.

The Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum is a little tough to see in the photos but really adds a gorgeous pop of sparkle on the card. I die cut the circle in Shimmer Vellum and there is also a die cut layer inside the tulips, too. It’s so pretty! I also added a little bit of Rich Razzleberry ink lightly with a Sponge Dauber to the Fresh Freesia layer inside the tulips. It really helped to give them a little more depth. I embellished the card with a trio of Brushed Brass Butterflies and some Gold Shimmer Ribbon.

Card Measurements & Details:

Shaded Spruce Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2"
Rich Razzleberry Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4”
Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
Shaded Spruce Cardstock: 3-7/8” x 2”, emboss with polka dot folder from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders
Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum: die cut a 2-5/8” circle from the Layering Circles Dies (#151770 - I forgot to add them to the product list at the end of the post)
Rich Razzleberry, Fresh Freesia, Shaded Spruce Cardstock & Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum: scraps to die cut the pieces to assemble the layered tulips
Basic White Cardstock: 2-3/4” x 7/8”, stamp sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink
Brushed Brass Butterflies & Gold Shimmer Ribbon
Basic White Cardstock (inside card): 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink
Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper (inside card): 5/8” x 5-1/4”

Finally, here is look inside the card. I added a little strip of that beautiful DSP and a sweet birthday sentiment. The sentiment is from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set which is featured in the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog.

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Sketch Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday March 4th, 2022.
