Custom Graduation Card Male (Stitched Stars)

I had fun creating  a custom graduation card for a young fellow going into astronomy. I put the graduate in the stars!  Stampin' Up's Stitched Stars were the dies that I used.  Mint Macaron, and Pretty Peacock were used  for the color palette. I used Versamark on the the entire background and sprinkled embossing powder over the layer, just like Kylie Bertucci recommended the other day. The stamp was from Unity Stamps.

Kylie’s Demonstrator Monthly Blog Hop July 2020 Pampered Pets

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop.We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. We are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from around the world that are taking part in training that is helping us to build a successful Stampin' Up business and reach some goals we have set. We appreciate your support!

You may be starting here or have come from another blog; either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today.

Today’s card features the Pampered Pets Suite. I made a slider card. I did make a video, but it would not load correctly! I was inspired by Rose Wood’s video on her slider card. This is an easy project to do, and would be very versatile, too. One could use any number of cute characters that Stampin’ Up carries, ie., Zany Zebras!

One uses a standard A-2 card , 4-1/4“x 5-1/2” Crumb Cake base and a 4”x 5-1/4” layer of  the DSP from Pampered Pets. Use the Classic Label Punch to create the slot. Use the punch again to make a slightly wider slot. This will allow for the cute pup to slide smoothly. Take two pennies. Put a dimensional between them. Adhering the pup to the top of the two pennies, insert the pennies in the slot with the pennies flat against the layer of DSP. Attach the cute puppy paper with dimensional to allow the pup to slide across the opening. The doggy will spin all the way down the track! 

My dog loving friends with birthdays last week both loved their card! I bet you would, too! I hope you try this technique! https://youtu.be/iOaKNUcXKwY

July 2020 3D Bundle Blog Hop and Bonus Days

July 2020 3D Bundle Blog Hop

Hello everyone! It’s July, and we have another fantastic 3D Bundle for you!  We’re celebrating with a blog hop! We’re each showcasing a second project we created using the same stamp set/or bundle we used in our  3D Bundle Tutorial Bundle Project.
The projects designed for the 3D Tutorial Bundle are totally exclusive and not available elsewhere online. In addition, you’ll receive both Imperial and Metric project measurements.  Here is a sneak peek for you.

Playful Pets Suite

Here is my extra project from the Playful Pets Suite. This is a Modified Sunburst card. I cut several sizes of rectangles and adhered to the top third of the card. Use the larger triangles to cover more space. Use the smaller triangles to fill in. I did leave some space between each piece so that Real Red mat is visible. Adhere to the Smoky Slate layer, and use adhesive to adhere the Real Red layer and Smokey Slate to the Basic Black A2 card base. 

 

This is the backside of the card. I used my snips to cut the overhanging triangles.  I then adhered a 2-1/4 Circle punch to cover the pointed triangle area. I popped up the dog that had been die cut from the DSP. I attached a small bow using the Playful Pet Trim Combo.  I used the Lovely Label Pick a Punch for the sentiment. I colored the Elegant Faceted Gems with the Dark Real Red Stampin Blends. Give this adorable card to your favorite dog-loving person!
