    International Highlights Winners Blog Hop - September 2020

    Monday 28 September 2020

    I’m so excited to be featured in this month’s International Highlights Top Ten Winners Blog Hop hosted by Kylie Bertucci. I was selected to participate in this hop by finishing in the top ten of the September 2020 International Highlights. Thank you to everyone who voted for my card! The theme for the International Blog Highlights is "Thank You"!  I decided to feature the Prized Peony Product Suite on a Arrow Fancy Fold Card. You can check out my card and the other amazing cards here.

    For today's card I used the Beauty Abounds stamp set (page 77 of the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue) and create a shaker card.  I love how it turned out.  What do you think?


    I used the Whale of a Time Sequins for the "shaker"

    Instructions

    1. Cut Thick Whisper White cardstock 4 1/4" x 1" and fold in half to form card base.
    2. Cut Highland Heather cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
    3. Cut Whisper White cardstock 3 3/4" x 5"
    4. Layer the Whisper White and Highland Heather piece together and using 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" Oval from the Layering Ovals die, cut an opening.
    5. Emboss the Whisper White cardstock using the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.
    6. Adhere the two pieces together using Stampin' Seal.
    7. Cut 2 pieces of Window Sheet 3" x 4".  Adhere one pieces to the back of the Highland Heather cardstock piece using Stampin' Seal.
    8. Using the Adhesive Foam strips, create a barrier around the edge of the opening.
    9. Using the oval piece of Whisper White cardstock that was cut out of the opening, stamp the flower image using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Colour using Stampin' Blends - Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Rich Blackberry Bliss.
    10. Adhere the coloured piece to the other piece of Window Sheet using Stampin' Seal.
    11. Add sequins to the piece with the adhesive foam strip barrier.  Gently peel off the backing of the strips and adhere the other window sheet piece so that the stamped image is centred in the opening.
    12. Press down so that the sequin pieces are sealed inside the window.
    13. Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
    14. Cut an oval frame using the Oval Circle Die used to cut the opening plus the next largest oval from Highland Heather cardstock.
    15. Adhere to card base around opening using Stampin' Seal.
    16. Stamp sentiment using Blackberry Bliss ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Fussy cut around the sentiment using your Paper Snips
    17. Adhere to the card base using Dimensionals.
    18. Colour abut 20" of Whisper White seam binding using Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend.  Cut into 2 pieces and tie a small double bow.  Adhere to card base using a Glue dot

    Don't Stop Believin'

    Friday 25 September 2020

    Today's card features the Don't Stop Believin' Stampset from the August to December Mini Catalogue.  It is so cute!  For my card, I couldn't resist the elf all tangled up in the Christmas lights.  I know I can relate to this - I've moved to a Christmas tree that has the lights already on it so I don't have to end up like this!  Isn't he cute!
