Kylie's Demo Training Blog Hop March 2020 - See a Silhouette Designer Series Papers

Thank you for joining us for our Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator Monthly Team Blog Hop! I really hope you check out all our posts and get inspired to create your own projects.

I’m Ginny Duncan from Maple Ridge, BC Canada and I’m so happy you stopped by today! 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.

It's not often that I feature a series of our DSP instead of stamps, dies or punches but this paper has been one I've reached for so many times lately, that I have to share how it makes some awesome cards for any occasion! The picture above shows some of the concept artists' creations - below is the paper in all it's wonderful colours!

I'm always checking my Designer Series Papers to see what I can use for my classes at a seniors residence where I go each month and take kits for them to make their cards. I've paired each card idea with stamps and sometimes embellishments from the Spring Mini so everyone has a chance to see what's new too. Can you tell they like to have birthday cards on hand??

The See a Silhouette papers are perfect for bright and cheerful birthday cards and they coordinate with so many different cardstock colours that everyone will be happy with their creations! Here's the list of coordinating colours: Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White (Wow!)

I recently worked on a fundraiser that my friend Pam organized and the card above is one of the samples I made for our participants to choose from - they stamped all the images on their chosen pre-cut kits and finished them with their adhesives. I trimmed a piece off the Pacific Point Cardstock Base and used it under the birthday greeting as a banner. I also trimmed 1/2" off the right side of the DSP for the right side of the card base. It was a fun day for all!

Here's a couple of card sample ideas that Pam shared - since the fundraiser was to benefit our furry friends, she had to include a couple of card kits honouring them! Aren't they fun??  I added the little paw prints inside the puppy one - so cute!

Remember that our Annual Catalogue has so much to offer and it's worth going back to basics when some of the more trendy bundles are on back order or not available - I still want to make cards and hold my classes - and I know my customers do too! Aren't these colours amazing??

I'm saving a couple of patterns for a scrapbook layout that I'm working out in my mind . . . .  what are you doing with your DSP that you have on your shelf?? We will have lots of time to create these days with travel outside our country being discouraged so I'm looking forward to making some of my DSP products take centre stage in my craft room!!

Need some card making supplies? Head over to my online store and start shopping with your list - message me if you need help getting started . . . . and while you are there why not RSVP for one of my Coffee and Cards events next week? It's a great way to get new ideas for making cards, plus you will go home with some for your box - it's a happy feeling when you know you are ready with a card for the next occasion :-)

Grab a cup of your favourite beverage and go through all the links in our current hop. Thanks so much for visiting me today - I appreciate all your comments so let me know what you think!  See who is below my name to know where to go next.

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - More Dressed to Impress Ideas

I'm sharing some more ideas from the Dressed to Impress suite of products today - our Artisan Design Team did a fantastic job last week with their samples (check out my links on my Facebook page) and I wanted to follow up with a few more and a video to show you how many options there are with this Designer Series Paper pack - fun papers make card creating so easy and they are great for backgrounds in our scrapbook layouts too.

Lots of bright colours to play with mean your designs are sure to be a favourite no matter who you are creating for . . .  it's so easy to match to your choice of cardstock and have a fun card ready to send in no time!  Which colour is your favourite to coordinate from the list - Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Mint Macaron??  If you said Lovely Lipstick (a bright pink-y red) then order soon from the Annual Catalogue as it's one of the In Colors retiring later this spring so won't be available once people catch on to it going away!!

Want to buy the whole suite?? Then click on this link and it will ship to your home! When you click on the link check out the video too!

Watch this video from Stampin' Up! highlighting all the different designs in the DSP  - then place your order and start making your own cards - it's that easy! Check out my online store (click here) for all your stampin' needs - and remember the clearance rack for great bargains on products no longer in current catalogues, With most of us staying closer to home these days, making and sending cards is a great way to keep in touch and giving your family and friends a reason to smile when they pick up their "happy mail" from you!

Sunday Share - Birthday Card Ideas at The Wesbrooke and More

I made my monthly visit to The Wesbrooke a week ago, and we had a full house in the crafting area! So great to see so many come out to make cards with me . . . . I do enjoy my crafting time with these ladies and they have so much fun making their cards for some special person in their life!

The first card we made was a bit different with the narrow front fold - they had no trouble at all following my guide and making the cards! I used some retired Christmas papers for the plaid, but coordinated them with Gray Granite and Cherry Cobbler Cardstock. The small metal embellishment came from my stash and looks just right on the greeting from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in the Spring Mini.

The next card used some of the awesome designs in the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalogue as well as the poppy image from the fabulous Painted Poppies stamps in the Spring Mini Catalogue. If you love bright colours, then you will want to get a pack of this paper soon! It coordinates with so many of our cardstock colours - you will have a hard time choosing which ones to use! I used Rich Razzleberry on this card, and a touch of Flirty Flamingo with the ribbon (from my retired stash).

It's birthday month for our grandkids so this is the first one I made . . .  love the way it holds the gift card inside one of the folds. If you haven't checked out the Birthday Bonanza Suite then this is your chance and you can soon be making cards like this one! If you need directions, then send me a quick message and I'll help you out!

You can shop at my online store (click here) any day/any time as it's open whenever you need to place your order. I send thank you gifts at the end of each month to my online shoppers - I do appreciate you choosing to shop with me!!

Here's a picture of my class at the seniors residence - see what I mean about happy faces??

Last minute reminder to get your Paper Pumpkin 3, 6 or 12 month subscription in so you get the FREE Sale-a-Bration item too - deadline is March 10th for the current month's subscription and I know it will be great! Click here for all your options . . . .

Check my events calendar and RSVP for my next Coffee and Cards - I would love to share some crafting time with you!

Happy stamping and enjoy the rest of your weekend :-)
