Hello everyone and welcome back to another Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! We are a group of 16 Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world, that were chosen to represent Stampin' Up! over the course of the 2019 year, through blog hops, Facebook posts and corporate blog posts. Each month we will be be focusing on a particular set of products to bring you inspiration from around the globe Stampin' Up! style.
This month's hop is a little different than previous ones as we all got to choose what we created with for this Catalogue Carry Over Event. Each Design Team Member worked with a stamp set or sets that is carrying over from the 2018-2019 to the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. May is a month of change, Spring has sprung, flowers are in bloom and Stampin' Up! is saying good bye to many of it's previous products and is getting ready to welcome a brand new catalogue launching June 4th. We wanted to highlight items that are available now and will still be available to purchase in the coming year. As demonstrator it is hard sometimes to plan classes around products during this transitional time but we were up for the challenge! During this hop you will see what all 16 of us have planned for our upcoming classes and you will find such an amazing variety of ideas and inspiration.
May is also a month that I know I and others will need to be thinking about and sending out thank you cards and little gifts of appreciation. Remembering those coaches and teachers as well as others that we want to show our gratitude for. That is why I chose to work with the A Big Thank You Bundle.
When creating my projects I kept in mind that there were both women and men that would be receiving these tokens of thanks, so I figured a bright, fun colour selection would be sure to bring a smile to anyone's face! I selected colours from the Brights Colour Collection and chose Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape for my rainbow palette. Along with the stamp set bundle another main product focus for this class are the Stampin' Write Markers.
These markers are water based and can be used in so many ways. The cute little thank you tag was created using a stitched die cut circle, then stamped on with Whisper White Craft Ink. The main focal "Thank You" is showcasing how these markers look when activated with water. TIP: Scribble colour down onto watercolour paper and mist using a Stampin' Spritzer. Let the water absorb a little and the colours run into each other, then blot excess water off with a paper towel.
The Kraft Pillow Boxes are perfectly sized for a small treat or can even house a credit card sized gift card. They are quick and easy to dress up, all I added here was a die cut tag and some Baker's Twine. TIP: Create multi-coloured twine by colouring white twine with the markers. Place twine on scrap paper or a window sheet, turn the marker on it's side and run the side of the tip along the twine. Stampin' Write Markers are also great for creating a multi-coloured stamped image by simply colouring the marker directly on to the stamp and then stamping onto the paper.
This card was quick and easy to create using strips of card stock in the chosen colour combination. TIP: Layering strips of card stock on top of one another on an angle or nonuniform way, helps to add interest to a project. To create added texture use a bone folder along the edge of the paper to break up some of the fibers.
Here is another quick and simple card that would be easy to mass produce. Once again I used the Stampin' Write Markers to colour directly onto the stamp. They are a great economical way to get several of the Stampin' Up! colours all at once. Again I kept with the rainbow order. TIP: When working with an abstract stamp image to create a background, such as the lines here, stamp at different heights or on an angle. this helps to create depth.
Next on the hop is my amazingly talented friend Kaylee van Es, I just know you are going to love what she has to share!

Oh my goodness Jennifer you completely nailed the brief for this hop. Four amazingly bright fun projects and all of your tips are so clever, my favourite is spritzing the cardstock after you've coloured it with markers. Genius
