Tasteful Touches - Kylie's Top Ten Winners!

I am thrilled to be one of the Top Ten Winners in Kylie's International Highlights! Thanks to all of you who voted for my Smile card which used the Botanical Tags & Garden Gateway Dies.

It is my honour to participate in the Top Ten Winners Blog Hop! I've decided to share a card using some brand new products coming in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue! You will be able to purchase these products on June 3, 2020 or get some of them sooner by joining my Sunset Stampers team now!

This card focuses on the new gorgeous In Good Taste Suite of products and some of the new 2020 - 2022 In Colors, Magenta Madness and Bumblebee!

The bundle I used is called the Tasteful Touches Bundle which includes the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set and the Tasteful Labels Dies. The card base is Crumb Cake layered with Magenta Madness and some of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. The background for these photographs is also from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper! There are several that would make awesome photo backdrops!

I also added a strip of Crumb Cake which was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used a Sponge Dauber to rub a little Early Espresso Ink onto the piece. I also stamped the textures and sentiment using Early Espresso. I added a piece of the new Faux Suede Trim!

I used a Stitched Rectangle Die for the sentiment and added some of the new 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots in Magenta Madness to finish it off!

For the inside, I stamped the feather in Early Espresso and added a sentiment from the new Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, also coming in the new catty!

West Coast Creators Blog Hop May 2020

I am so excited to participate in this brand new blog hop! We are Canadian demonstrators from the west coast to the east coast! Our focus this month is on retiring or Last Chance Products! 

I decided to use one of my new favourite techniques (the Scrappy Strip Technique) as the background for my card featuring the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper. I also used Soft Suede and Terracotta Tile cardstock and the Memorable Mosaic Stamp Set. The roses were fussy cut directly from the paper!

If you look closely, you can see a little of the shiny accents on this gorgeous paper in the pic below! 

Don't forget to hop to see the blogs of the talented demonstrators below! Enjoy!

Botanical Tags Thank You & Goodbye

I am thrilled today to be participating in Kylie Bertucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlights with demonstrators from around the world! The theme this month is Thank You. I thought, what better way to say thank you than to send a Smile card?

This card has no stamping on it! Can you believe it? There is some Balmy Blue and Mango Melody ink sponged on the background but the rest of the card is made with diecuts! The Smile sentiment comes from the Share Sunshine Digital Download which can be purchased here:

The dies used are Botanical Tags (retiring), Garden Gateway, Rectangle Stitched Dies and Stitched So Sweetly. The little cat has some basic rhinestones for bling!
