Global Stamping Friends - Coordination is Key

Welcome to the June 2023 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Coordination is Key! I am featuring the coordination between the Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, and our Cardstock and Inks. {you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}

I made a simple set of notecards, using the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set. These are the cards I meant to make yesterday, but I got sidetracked with THIS IDEA instead. I chose to feature the Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, because right now there is a DESIGNER SERIES PAPER SALE! The colors that coordinate with this DSP are Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie, and Pretty Peacock. An interesting tidbit about these colors...you can get all these (and more) in some special assortments available this catalog year:

NEW Core Colors Cardstock Assortment

NEW Core Colors Ink Pad Assortment (low inventory as of the time of this post!)

I actually wanted to color these a little bit, using our Blender Pens with some ink from the lid of each ink pad, and put some greetings and bling on them, but I ran out of time. But that's okay, because now you can see how you can make cute notecards in a very simple way, using only the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set! Plus, I can always add to these cards and post the stepped-up versions for you later.

Stampin' Supplies: Bird's Eye View Stamp Set, Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Basic White Cardstock, Pretty Peacock Cardstock & Ink, Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock & Ink, Blueberry Bushel Cardstock & Ink, Berry Burst Cardstock & Ink, Pecan Pie Cardstock & Ink, Pretty Peacock Cardstock & Ink, Wild Wheat Ink Pad, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, 2023-2025 Jute Assortment (Wild Wheat), Masking Paper (to cover Lemon Lime Twist bird's feet), Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Grid Paper.

We Create Blog Hop - Patterns Everywhere

Welcome to the JUNE 2023 "Patterns Everywhere" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our theme may bring projects with patterns. I am featuring the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set along with the Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper for today's project. Both these products are NEW with the debut of the Stampin' Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.

{scroll to the bottom of this post for ALL product purchase links}

A Designer Series Paper SALE starts TODAY (June 1st), and lasts throughout the month. I was going to use each of the 5 colors of the Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (DSP), to make a card using each of the different 5 birds in the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set, but I got a little bit distracted by a different idea, instead. I used Pretty Peacock Cardstock and the coordinating Pretty Peacock sheet of the Glorious Gingham 6"x6" DSP to show off a "peacock" I made using several of the images in the stamp set. I used a greeting from the NEW Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set that I thought was fitting!

If you look closely, you can probably see that I used part of the tree branch image to extend the bottom of the bird's tail, with the StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad. I inked up only the circle part of the monocle image to stamp around the eyes...and the spacing I had to use to fit the circles on the face left the pupils a bit wonky, so I used a black marker (you can use your Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, or just a fine tip Sharpie if you have one on hand) to make the pupils a little bit bigger, and to center them on each other. Then I inked up only half of the circle from the monocle image, and stamped that 3 times at the top of the bird's head for a little bit of fluff.

I stamped the peacock feathers using the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad, and some Masking Paper. I colored the feathers and the bird using the Blender Pens, and dipping them in ink from the lid of the Tahitian Tide Ink Pad, and the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. I wrapped a bit of Tahitian Tide Metallic Trim twice around the card, strategically covering the seam between the Basic White Cardstock, and the Glorious Gingham DSP, and tied that in a square knot. I stamped the greeting on Tahitian Tide Cardstock, in StazOn Jet Black Ink, and popped it up over the trim a little bit, using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. The last touch was adding a few of the copper-colored Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Stampin' Supplies: NEW Bird's Eye View Photopolymer Stamp Set, Timeless Arrangements Photopolymer Stamp Set, Glorious Gingham 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (ON SALE THIS MONTH!), Basic White Cardstock, Tahitian Tide Cardstock, Pretty Peacock Cardstock & Ink Pad, StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker (optional), Tahitian Tide Ink Pad (used only with Blender Pens), Tahitian Tide Metallic Trim, Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins Assortment (copper color), Masking Paper, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Glue, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Grid Paper.
