Butterfly Gala for Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for December! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all over the world sharing our love of stamping. We are all part of Kylie 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 the United States. I’m so glad you stopped by today! 

My card features a sneak peek from the new Stampin’ Up!® Occasions Catalog which will be available to order from on January 3rd. I just love the products in the new Gingham Gala Suite and have featured three of them on my card today. The include the Butterfly Gala stamp set, the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch and the gorgeous Gingham Gala Designer Series paper. 

I don’t know about you but I just love stamp sets that have coordinating punches! This set has multiple butterfly images and they are so easy to punch out to add some dimension to your card. I kept my layout pretty clean so those beautiful butterflies could have the spotlight. I love how they look like they are “flying” off the card. So fun! 

I added a little pop of texture to the background using the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions Embossing folder. Let’s talk about that sentiment. Opening an envelope to a “Hello Beautiful” sentiment is an instant day-brightener, don’t you think? As a finishing touch, I added a little sprinkling of rhinestones, because everything is better with a little sparkle. I made multiples of this card for our team swap this month. It’s so fun and “springy” and a nice break from holiday cards.

Bloom By Bloom for PP420

Hello and Happy Sunday to you! This week over at The Paper Players, we have an awesome Sketch Challenge from Sandy. It’s no surprise that I really enjoy sketch challenges. Thy are a fantastic way to get your creative mojo going. When I saw Sandy’s sketch, I was immediately inspired to create with some new products from the Happiness Blooms Suite from the upcoming Stampin’ Up!® Occasions Catalog which launches on January 3rd. It was nice to take a little break from Christmas projects to ink up some new stamps!

I just love Sandy’s sketch! I think it is perfect for a simple layout or to showcase lots of fabulous layers, which I did on my card. The only thing I did a little differently was to switch up the placement of the sentiment a bit. The sentiment is also from a new stamp set called Butterfly Gala, which will be available in the upcoming Occasions Catalog. 

The Bloom to Bloom stamp set and coordinating products are so much fun! I love the bright colors in the suite, featuring Call Me Clover, Calypso Coral, Lovely Lipstick, Night of Navy and Pineapple Punch. There is also a new Dot to Dot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder that adds great texture to the background. I cut out and layered two of the floral images together with Stampin’ Dimensionals because I really wanted to tie in a little pop of the Lovely Lipstick color. Then I added some Night of Navy enamel dots (also new!) and a little baker’s twine bow to finish everything off. I just think it is a such a bright and cheery card, don’t you?

Card Measurements: 

• Night of Navy Card Base - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Calypso Coral Cardstock - 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” 
• Happiness Blooms DSP - 1-3/4” x 4-1/2” and 1-1-2” x 4-1/2” 
• Night of Navy Cardstock (for DSP layers) - 2” x 4-3/4” and 1-3/4” x 4-3/4” 
• Whisper White Cardstock - 2-1/2” x 2-1/2”
• Night of Navy Cardstock - 2-3/4” x 2-3/4” 

Here is a quick shot of the inside of the card. I kept it pretty simple to add a little note but dressed it up with a little piece of that fabulous Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper. 

Before I sign-off, I thought I would share a photo of Ozzy and Gidget Louise on Thanksgiving. Although they didn’t have a full Thanksgiving spread like the humans did, they did enjoy a little treat with their dinner. Nothing too fancy, just some plain ol’ mashed sweet potatoes, which they love. They are pretty easy to please. 

Won’t you join us and share your project this week? 

You can link up your project through Friday November 30th, 2018 at Noon PST.
