Blueberry Bunches meets Sweetly Scripted - Kylie's Trip Achievers Blog Hop


Heidi Ho and WELCOME to another Blog Hop!  Every month my friends from around the globe and I bring you projects made with current Stampin' Up! products.  Our hope is that we delight and inspire you.  Try a new technique, grab that stamp set that hasn't seen ink yet, get in your Cave and create!  At the end of this post you will find links to my friends' blogs.  Click them and hop around checking out all the projects.  You'll be glad you did!

This month I wanted to show off a card made with my FAVOURITE set in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalogue - Blueberry Bunches.  I'm sad this set doesn't come with coordinating dies but the upside is it keeps the price point down .. and, really, the images are quick and easy to cut out "old school" ... with a pair of our paper snips!  Here is one (of MANY) project I whipped up in no time!

Do you love it??  I do!  If you aren't a fan of colouring images, this is the way to go ... heat emboss your image!  I stamped the blueberries with Versamark on Blueberry Bushel card stock, applied white embossing powder and then heat set with our heat tool.  Fussy cut and BOOM!  A gorgeous image without colouring it!
Our Basics 3-D Embossing folder and dies from the Everyday Details dies add some easy layers and textures.  

Do you recognize the sentiment?  No?  It's from the new (currently-out-of-stock-cause-its-a-keeper-set!) Sweetly Scripted.  The sentiment is ACTUALLY "a million thanks" but it was too long to fit nicely on this orientation so I used my Stampin' Write Marker to ink just the "thanks" portion and stamped that.

Here are the dimensions, should you wish to recreate this card ...

- Basic White Card Stock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" - base
- Basic White Card stock - 2 3/4" x 4" - layer - embossed with the Basics 3D embossing folder
- Basic White Card Stock - 2 1/2" x 4" - layer - run through the Everyday Essentials die
- Basic White Card Stock - 1/2" x 3 1/4" - layer - for sentiment
- Blueberry Bushel Card Stock - 3" x 4" - heat embossed and fussy cut

That's it!  Pop the blueberries and sentiment up on dimensionals, add some bling and you're done!  A super quick and cute Thank You card!

I hope you like it!  Now hop along and see what my friends have in store for you.  You'll find a list of my supplies used at the very end of this post.  Thanks for popping in.  Have a stampy day!

MCM Layout - Jan 22, 2024 Thoughtful Expressions

 


Happy Blogging Day!  I spotted that I missed posting my Mystery Card Monday from January 22nd ... so here we are!

I shared how to make this seemingly-hard card but you'll see it's REALLY easy ... and lovely!  I used the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.  

The ombre effect is made just by stamping the humming bird in three different colours of blue - Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue.  Check it out ...



       

I then showed you how easy it is to colour the humming bird with our blends.  This card took less than 15 minutes to make ..

     

    

Here is the Mystery Card Monday (MCM) Facebook Live replay, showing you how to cut the papers, colour and put all the pieces together ...

   

So that's it for this week.  If you would like to join me LIVE for my MCM (Mystery Card Monday) sessions, you can catch me on my FaceBook Page here at 7:00 pm Mountain Time every Monday ... or on my YouTube Channel here at the same time (I stream live to both).  Like and Follow my FB Page and/or Subscribe to my YouTube Channel.  I'd love to have you - the live community is AMAZING and so much fun!

If you live in Canada and would like to purchase any of the items I used for my cards, just click any of the pictures below and you will be taken to my online store.  Thank you!  I appreciate your support!

Have a stampy day!
