MASSIVE Thanks - Vote for My Card this Month!

Today I am playing in Kylie Bertucci's blog hop - Kylie is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator in Australia. The blog hop is basically an international contest for projects made with Stampin' Up! product. There's a voting button below my first picture that will take you to a gallery of ALL the entries for June 2020, where you can submit your vote(s). My entry is currently #50.

I am participating from the United States, and this month's theme is 'Thank you!'. I am excited to use the brand NEW Massive Thanks Cling Stamp Set on my entry, which is an Explosion Card! 
{US Product Purchase Links can be found near the bottom of this post}

The Explosion Card is an oldie, but a goodie, and I thought it was perfect to use with the sentiments 'little card...', and 'MASSIVE thank you' from the Massive Thanks Cling Stamp Set. I chose to use the smallest mailable size of card in the US, which is 3-1/2" x 5" - which is the size of our Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes - to demonstrate the "little card". You get 20 Note Cards plus 20 Envelopes in the pack, and there are 48 sheets of patterned paper in the pack I used, so you can easily and inexpensively get 40 cards if you make sure to buy TWO packs of the Note Cards & Envelopes.

The Whale of a Time 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack is perfect to create the Explosion Card fold for the "massive thanks" inside. It's the ideal size, and the ocean theme really lends itself to the depths of your "massive thanks"! You can use any size square of patterned paper to make the fold, you'll just want to be sure the smallest dimension of your outside card when folded is at least HALF the size of the square you use. For instance, the smallest dimension of my Note Card is 3-1/2", and HALF the size of the 6" patterned paper square is 3", so it fits inside the card easily.

I wanted to make this project super simple, so I used only the colors of ink that are available in our NEW Classic Stampin' Spots Assortment. This is a collection of eight 1"x1" mini stamp pads, which can be reinked with the same Ink Refills as our standard-sized ink pads. The colors in the assortment are: Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce. The sentiments are stamped in Basic Gray, and I actually used the Stampin' Spots themselves (in the other colors shown above) to "stamp" on the front of the card to get the colored squares.

Stampin' Supplies: Massive Thanks Cling Stamp Set, Classic Stampin' Spots Assortment, Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes, Whale of a Time 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack, Stampin' Seal Adhesive, Clear Block D, Paper Snips, Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist (to clean red rubber stamps), Grid Paper.

Welcome to the June 2020 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects from around the world--but I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Outdoors! The idea is to show something outdoorsy. My take on it features product from the NEW World of Good Suite, paired with the carryover Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set and coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies.

Stampin' Supplies: Sailing Home Cling Stamp Set, Smooth Sailing Dies, Whisper White Cardstock, Early Espresso Cardstock & Ink Pad, Misty Moonlight Cardstock & Ink Pad, World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper, Brass Foil Sheets, Faux Suede Trim, Stampin' Sponges, Stampin' Seal Adhesive, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Grid Paper, Paper Trimmer (to cut and score cardstock), Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist (to clean Cling stamps), Whisper White Medium Envelope (for mailing!). Note: you'll want a die-cutting/embossing machine to use with the Dies and Embossing Folder...the NEW Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines will be available for purchase SOON!

We Create Blog Hop - Making a Splash

Welcome to the JUNE 2020 "Making a Splash" Blog Hop!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our projects will feature anything relating to "making a splash" - it could be a splash of color, a new baby making a debut, beach scenes, rainscapes...anything goes!
{scroll to the bottom of this post for ALL product purchase links}

For my project, I chose a card that showcases the splash of color around me here in Colorado!  This project features the Mountain Air BUNDLE, which includes the Mountain Air Reversibles™ stamp set, along with the Majestic Mountain Dies, at a 10% Discount!

The splash of color I love most on this card is the Blueberry Bushel Cardstock used for the card base, and the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad (or substitute the Stampin' Write Marker) used for the 'AWESOME' greeting. This color is one of the 2018-2020 In Colors, which is RETIRING, so you'll want to get those color products as soon as you can. They will no longer be available after June 2, 2020. TIP: If you are getting the ink pad, or the marker for any of the 2018-2020 In Colors, please be sure you also order at least one ink refill for each color so you can use the products for many years.

While you are checking out those RETIRING In Colors, be sure to browse the rest of the Last Chance Products in My Online Store. Some of the RETIRING products are being sold at a DISCOUNT, and they are quite the find! Speaking of finding things, this card has some subtle stamping in the background that I wanted to point out in the picture above. There are some clouds, which were stamped with the Whisper White Craft Ink Pad, and a tiny cluster of birds which you could either stamp with the coordinating Balmy Blue Ink Pad, or you could use the VersaMark Ink Pad to get that tone-on-tone look.

And I included this last picture below, just for fun. I had to battle my kitty for the sunbeams in order to get a nice picture, so I thought it only fitting that I include the picture of her cute, round kitty toes for your entertainment! Oh...and just by way of disclosure, this card was designed by another demonstrator here in Colorado - it's another of those cards I made at a shoebox swap event.

Stampin' Supplies: Mountain Air Photopolymer Reversibles™ Stamp Set, Whisper White Cardstock, Blueberry Bushel Cardstock, Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad (or Stampin' Write marker from 2018-2020 In Color Asst.), Balmy Blue Cardstock, Balmy Blue Ink Pad (or use VersaMark Ink Pad), White Craft Ink Pad, Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, Garden Green Ink Pad, Soft Suede Cardstock, Early Espresso Ink Pad, Basic Black Cardstock, Real Red Cardstock, Daffodil Delight Cardstock, Layering Circles Dies, SNAIL Adhesive, Black Stampin' Dimensionals, Simply Shammy (to clean photopolymer stamps), Grid Paper, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer (to cut and score cardstock), Medium Whisper White Envelopes (for mailing!). {you will need a die cutting machine to use the Layering Circles Dies and the Majestic Mountain Dies}
