Field of Flowers-Kylie’s Training Blog Hop

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Welcome to Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop for June. I’m part of a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world that participate in Kylie’s program for building our businesses. Please be sure to click on the names in the list at the end of this post to hop around and view the beautiful cards posted by so many talented stampers.

Today’s fun-fold card features a sweet stamp set, Field of Flowers, from the new annual catalog. It immediately said spring and summer to me and who could resist the cute little dragonflies!

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – Cut piece of Magenta Madness cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 3″ and 8 3/4″, fold along score lines and use bone folder to sharply crease the folds.
  • Use the Magenta Madness papers from the 2020-2022 InColor Designer Series Paper pack and cut one of each of the papers at 3″ x 4″ and one each of the papers at 2″ x 4″. Adhere one set to the outside flaps and the other set on the inside flaps.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 3″ x 4 3/8″. Stamp grass image with Granny Apple Green ink along bottom of the piece. Stamp the large flowers with Magenta Madness. Stamp the smaller flower image with Mango Melody ink. Stamp greeting and two dragonflies with Coastal Cabana ink. Add a bit of shimmer to the dragonflies with Wink of Stella.
  • Cut piece of Mango Melody cardstock with the next-to-largest die in the Stitched Rectangles die set.
  • Cut piece of Magenta Madness 1/4″ ribbon and tie in bow around Mango Melody piece. Adhere stamped piece to Mango Melody piece. Adhere to flap on left side of card front. Only apply adhesive to one half of the stamped piece in order for the card to open.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp leaf image with Granny Apple Ink. Stamp flowers with Magenta Madness ink. Stamp greeting with Coastal Cabana ink. Adhere to inside of card.

I love this bright, cheerful color combination – it made me smile as I was making the card and I hope you like it!

Ornate Garden-Daisies

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today’s card features the Ornate Garden Suite. This suite includes two bundles: Ornate Thanks is a photopolymer stamp set with greetings that can be mixed and matched and coordinates with the Ornate Borders die set; Ornate Style stamp set is red rubber and has floral images that can be colored and coordinates with the Ornate Layers dies. For this card I chose to showcase the daisy image.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut piece of Bumblebee cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ and fold in half.
  • Cut piece of daisy print paper from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Papers at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and cut out using the largest frame from the dies with the wider widths. Adhere to card base.
  • Cut piece of Old Olive cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and cut out using the next to largest die from the dies with the narrower widths. Adhere to center of DSP piece.
  • Cut two pieces of Whisper White cardstock at 2″ x 3 1/4″. Stamp daisy image with Black Memento Ink on both pieces. Color images with light and dark Daffodil Delight, light and dark Old Olive and dark Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends. Leave some white areas on the tips of the flower petals. Cut with the third smallest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly die set.
  • Adhere to Old Olive panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals, staggering them so that one is higher than the other.
  • Finish off by adding a Gilded Gem to each of the daisy pieces.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the filigree design with Early Espresso ink in all four corners. Adhere to inside of the card.

Forever Fern-Kylie’s International Blog Highlights

| Rhonda Kleiman

Hello! Today I’m participating once again in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights. Readers get to vote on their top five favorites in the gallery and the top 10 winners will get to participate in an International Blog Hop later this month. The thank you theme is a way for us to show our appreciation to someone that has inspired, helped or supported us in some way. I chose to use the Forever Greenery product suite in the new catalog. This was one of my “had to haves” when I placed my pre-order last month.

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Just Jade cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″ and fold in half.
  • Cut piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
  • Cut two pieces of paper from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Papers at 2″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to Pretty Peacock piece.
  • Cut piece of vellum at 2″ x 5 1/4″ and emboss with the repeating pattern Greenery embossing folder in the 2 folder pack. Adhere off center to DSP piece.
  • Stamp greeting from the Forever Fern stamp set with Pretty Peacock ink on scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. Cut with the large circle from the Tasteful Frames die set.
  • Stamp two of the large leaves, one in Garden Green and one in Pear Pizzazz ink. Stamp round leaf image in Pretty Peacock ink. Stamp two of the small leaves in Soft Sea Foam ink. Note that there are two small leaf stamps. They are directional so stamp and cut one of each. Cut with coordinating dies from the Forever Flourishing die set. Arrange leaves and adhere with liquid glue.
  • Cut piece of the vanilla ribbon from the Forever Greenery Trim combo pack and tie in knot around the art piece. Adhere the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Just Jade enamel dot to greeting.
  • Cut piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp two of the small leaves with Soft Sea Foam ink . Adhere to inside of card.

I’d be very appreciative if you would vote for my card by clicking on the vote image below. To give a vote, once you are in the gallery, click on the heart at the top right hand side of the picture as the hearts appear.

New Annual Catalog is Live Today!

| Rhonda Kleiman

The new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog goes live today at 12:00pm Mountain Time, 3:00pm Eastern Time! Click here to view the catalog online. Please note:

  • The new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines and accessories shown on page 170 are not available yet for purchase. I will let you know when it will be available once Stampin’ Up! announces a date.
  • Until further notice, there will be a limit of one each of the five new InColor reinkers per order. The manufacturer of the ink refill bottles has had to shift production to medical product production so Stampin’ Up! is only able to fill the bottles with whatever inventory they have on hand for the time being.
  • Snail tape has been retired and two new adhesives have been introduced to take its place. Stampin’ Seal is for holding cardstock and ribbon and Stampin’ Seal+ is a heavier adhesive for 3D projects and to secure heavier layers. Refills are available for both tapes. See page 162 in the catalog for further details.

If you would like a copy of the catalog please click on “contact me” at the top of this page and I would be happy to send one out to you.

Painted Poppies Dress

| Rhonda Kleiman

Today I’m sharing a floral dress card that uses a template from an old issue of Stamper’s Sampler magazine. I featured several other dress cards in previous blog posts and have included links to them at the end of this post. This dress uses products from the Peaceful Poppies Suite, some of which will be retiring on June 2nd. I always loved playing with paper dolls as a young girl so making these dresses has been a fun way to play as an adult!

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut piece of Basic Black cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score and fold in half.
  • Cut piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″. I used the sheet with the Poppy Parade watercolor wash design. Die cut the cluster of poppies in the left top corner of the DSP with the die from the Poppy Moments Dies. Adhere to card base.
  • For the dress base I used a piece of a Black Foil sheet and traced around the template on the back of the sheet because the back is matte white and easy to see the trace lines. Cut out dress.
  • Next, have fun decorating the dress.
  • I selected a bunch of die-cut printed accents from the Peaceful Poppies Elements that I thought would look pretty on the dress. I knew I wanted to place the large red poppy at the waistline so I adhered it to the dress, only applying the adhesive to the center of the piece. Then I arranged the embossed vellum leaves and flowers on the the dress and once I was happy with how it looked I partially adhered them to the dress. I used liquid glue sparingly, placing small dots along the embossed lines on the leaves and in the centers of the flowers.
  • Decorate the neckline of the dress by adhering clear flower-shaped sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins with Mini Glue Dots. The glue dots are larger than the sequins so I lifted the glue dots off the sheet and then rolled them into tiny balls to fit the bottom of the sequins.
  • Adhere dress to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4. Adhere the scalloped border die-cut accent from the Peaceful Poppies Elements and adhere piece to inside of card. I decided not to use a greeting so the inside is blank.

These products will be retiring on June 2nd so this is your last chance to purchase them: Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper, Peaceful Poppies Elements, Peaceful Poppies Sequins.

Share Sunshine with Peaceful Poppies

| Rhonda Kleiman

Today I’m sharing a bunch of cards I made with the Share Sunshine PDF download. Last week, Sara Douglas, CEO of Stampin’ Up! hosted a Facebook Live session as part of SU’s Virtual Day of Service. All employees were given a kit and an instruction sheet to make cards to send to family, friends and those on the frontline in the pandemic. Demonstrators and customers were able to join Sara from her home as she and her family made their cards. The instruction sheet includes a template for cutting a piece of 12″ x 12″ sheet of Designer Series Paper and some suggested card layouts. You can use any DSP in your collection for this project. I chose to use two sheets from the Peaceful Poppies DSP, which will be retiring next week. I made ten cards that I will be sending out. They were quick and easy to put together and I had fun making them.

I printed out the pages I chose to use on Whisper White cardstock and in my printer settings I used one of the premium settings because the cardstock is heavier than a regular sheet of paper. All of the greetings on front and insides of the cards are cut from the PDF download using a variety of punches and dies. I also added some bakers twine and some of the Peaceful Poppies Elements. NO stamping is required!

If you’d like to view the replay of Sara’s Facebook Live session, click here.

Click here for the PDF instruction sheet that includes the cutting template.

This initiative is part of Stampin’ Up!’s Make a Difference program and 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of the download will go directly to the World Health Organization’s COVID Solidarity Response Fund and United Way’s COVID-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. The cost of the download is $12. Click here to purchase the download. Once your purchase goes through you will receive the download via email.
