Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and a big WELCOME to the first 

Stampers Showcase Blog Hop!

I am very happy and honoured to be a part of this Blog Hop with some incredibly amazing and talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world. 

For this first challenge our theme is appropriately "Thanks"

as I am feeling very thankful to be part of this group!

You may have come from the very talented Stephanie Nash from Canada.  I cannot wait to see what amazing creation is on her blog!  She will truly inspire you! 

I have decided to showcase the beautiful Painted Seasons stamp set that is available to customers from the 15th of February until the 31st of March.  This stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper are FREE with $180AUD purchase.  It is simply stunning!

The Thank You sentiment is from All Things Thanks and is in the 2108-2019 Annual Catalogue.  I thought it was the perfect sized font for this card.

A simple and quick card is what I have set out to create.  A card that will be easy for others to recreate in their choice of colours. I have taken inspiration from the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green reversible ribbon that is in the Occasions Catalogue.  I love this pretty ribbon!

First, I randomly stamped the Coastal Cabana mat card stock with the succulent image from the stamp set in Coastal Cabana. I love the look of tone on tone.  One tip for getting the best image with the Painted Seasons stamp set is to push the ink in your stamp pad to the bottom of the pad carefully with the back of a plastic spoon.  This makes the pad less juicy and the image you stamp will be perfect.

I then cut out two rectangles using the Rectangle Stitched shapes.  A smaller one in Whisper White and larger one in Coastal Cabana. 

The diagonally opposite edges were stamped in Granny Apple Green using the succulent again. And the sentiment from the All Things Thanks stamp set was inked in Memento Tuxedo Black.  I glued this layer to the larger Coastal Cabana Rectangle Stitched shape.

I placed three Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots around the sentiment and secured the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green reversible ribbon around the mat layer before adding the sentiment layers with Dimensionals.

This card came together very quickly and I enjoyed creating it.

I hope that if you get this stamp set you will love it as much as I do.  I just want to create with it all day.  You could recreate this card using any of the images in the stamp set.
