International Project Highlights Visual Blog Hop and sketch challenge entry into #GDP058
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK and I have made this birthday card using a sketch by Teneale Williams.
I've used the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper and the lillies from the Remarkable You stamp set.
I have stamped Happy Birthday in Sweet Sugarplum ink using the Stylized Birthday stamp for the inside of the card and also added an edge of torn designer series paper to the top and bottom of the Whisper White layer.
For the front of the card I have added a layer of designer series paper to fit the entire front of the card. I usually leave a border but I really like how this has come out. I then added a small layer of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock before overlapping a layer of Vellum cardstock.
Next I stamped the lillies image onto Whisper White cardstock twice. I used Stampin' Write markers to colour in the stamp - Sweet Sugarplum for the outline of the flower and Old Olive for the stem.
I cut out the flowers using my Paper Snips (I am really not a fan of fussy cutting but let me tell you, these were a dream to cut out!) I adhered one set of flowers straight onto the vellum and then popped up the second set directly over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. This really has added some fabulous dimension to the flowers and I am really pleased with this effect.
To finish the card I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday in Basic Gray using a stamp from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. I cut around the sentiment and used glue dots to adhere it over the top of the stems.

Welcome to the Hello! Annual Catalogue 2016-2017 Blog Hop!
You’ll be hopping around some amazing Stampin’ Up!® Independent Demonstrators blogs, each with an inspirational project, featuring new catalogue products.
Currently you’re visiting Kim Price from Somerset, UK. Hello there!
You can continue hopping by using the previous and next buttons at the end of this post. Now, let’s scroll down to see what I’ve been making.
My project today are two cards that are really quick and easy to make, I've simply added a few layers, a sentiment and a die cut butterfly to a Whisper White card base. I am really pleased with the how these have turned out and I hope you like them too.
I've used the gorgeous Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper and sentiments from the Blooms & Wishes stamp set. I love this suite, the flowers, the colours and the fonts are really lovely.
I like both DSP patterns but I felt they were too much to use in one block, so I made my borders on my layers wider than I would usually make so the DSP could been shown in a subtle way. I love how this has come out, my favourite is the card in Sweet Sugarplum. Which one is your favourite?
If you want to make these cards, you will need to cut the DSP to 9cm x 13.4cm and the top layer of Whisper White to 8cm x 12.4cm.
The sentiments are stamped in Sweet Sugarplum and Island Indigo and the butterflies are cut from the same DSP as the layer using the Butterflies Thinlit Dies.

Two weeks ago I spent a lovely three days in Birmingham with my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator friends. We spent the first day in the Bullring shopping centre and the next 2 days at a venue just across the road from Selfridges. My upline Michelle Last organised 2 days of crafty fun for us all which included a lovely project, 6 make and takes and a range of classes. It was such a good weekend and I can't wait to go again next year
There were 43 of us and as always, we all made swaps. I decided to make notebooks again and I was very happy with these. I felt this was a big improvement from the notebooks I made the previous year, take a look here to see them.
I made 9 of each colour way, which left me a few spare. Keep on reading to find out how to get how to get your hands on one of these.
These are my favourite and they were made using Blushing Bride cardstock, Blushing Bride ink and Sweet Sugarplum ink.
I used Mint Macaron cardstock and also Mint Macaron ink and Island Indigo ink for these.
Whilst these flowers are a shade of Rich Razzleberry, I chose to use Perfect Plum cardstock, Perfect Plum ink and Blushing Bride ink.
My second favourite - these were made using Island Indigo cardstock, Island Indigo ink and Crumb Cake ink
And finally, for these I used the new Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, Sweet Sugarplum ink and Perfect Plum ink.
I will be giving away one of these notebooks in a week's time. All you need to do is leave a comment and subscribe to receive my blog notifications. I will then pick a winner at random and will post the notebook to you, anywhere in the world. Good luck x
