January 2020 Artisan Blog Hop – From My Heart Suite
Welcome to the 2020 Artisan Design Team Blog Hop!
The Stampin’ Up! 2020 Artisan Design Team has so many amazing creations for you to see! I hope that you take the time to check out all 16 blogs!
Today the Artisan’s are featuring projects made from products of the From My Heart Suite on pages 8-10 of the 2020 January – June Mini Catalog!
My creations consist of three parts: The Shadow Box, the Valentine’s Cards and the Heart Foil Tin.
The Heart Foil Tin is filled with Legos and a note asking my boys to create something for me that can adorn my desk during the day! I can’t wait to see what they come up with.
The cover is wrapped in Real Red 3/8″ Double-Stitched Ribbon and secured with Mini Glue Dots and a bow.
I adhered a full Heart Doily, white side up, to the top of the cover with Mini Glue Dots. I then took a Flirty Flamingo Heart Doily and used a Paper Snips to remove the scallops around the edge so that I could layer it on top of the white. The straight-edge Heart Punch was used to quickly crop the heart from the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the center of the doilies with Snail Adhesive.
The final touch was to glue several From My Heart Faceted Gems with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
The shadow box frame I have had in my stash to use when it worked. It just happened to work perfectly some floating hearts!
I took 4 Flirty Flamingo Heart Doilies and 8 Real Red Heart Doilies and scored them through the middle. I cut three pieces of Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine to the needed length and adhered them to the center of 4 Heart Doilies that I glued together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I positioned the the red doilies within the frame and secured them with a small dot from a hot glue gun. I created three pom poms from baker’s twine to pretty up the bottom and hide the glue. You could make them for the top too, I just didn’t feel it necessary.
I found photos of my boys that I liked and cropped them with the straight-edge Heart Punch. I adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.
For the Flirty Flamingo Heart Doilies, I adhered them together, but wanted to add the arrow image from the Heartfelt Stamp Set. I stamped the arrow twice in Smoky Slate Ink, cut them out with Paper Snips, then glued them together. I created a small slit through the center of the doilies so that I could slide my arrow through. I secured it in place with a Mini Glue Dot.
I finished with stamping the “Happy Valentine’s Day” heart in Real Red Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I cropped them out with the coordinating Heart Punch and adhered them with Mini Glue Dots.
The cards I created were quick and simple.
Here are the Step-by-Step Instructions on how I created cards:
- With a Paper Trimmer, cut a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11″. Score and fold at 5 1/2″. (this is your card base).
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut a piece of From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper to 4 x 5 1/4″. Adhere to the card with Snail Adhesive.
- Cut a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 2 3/4 x 4″. Stamp the sentiment using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink in the lower right corner. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Crop two scalloped and two straight edge hearts of Shimmery White Cardstock. Add a watercolor wash of Melon Mambo Classic Ink to the scalloped hearts and Real Read Classic Ink to the straight-edge hearts. Adhere as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp two arrows in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. Snip with Paper Snips. Adhere with Mini Dimensionals.
- Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to add From My Heart Faceted Gems to the card and arrow.
The From My Heart Suite is just $88.25 and can be added to an order with one easy item code, item 153931. If you love to create Valentine-themed projects, then this suite if perfect for you!

January 2020 Pals Blog Hop – Time to Sale-A-Brate!
Welcome to the Pals’ Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because it’s “Time to Sale-A-Brate”! We’re showcasing our favorite new products from 2020 Sale-A-Bration brochure. You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I only have a few of the items from the Sale-A-Bration Promotion catalog (more are set to arrive on Friday) but so far, my favorite is the Little Ladybug Stamp Set that can only be earned for FREE with an order or workshop valued at $300 or more. On that note, I cannot wait for the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper to arrive! That is my #1 pick from the Sale-A-Bration Promotion.
Cut a piece of Whisper White Thick card stock to 4 1/4 x 11. Score and fold at 5 1/2.

Adhere the 3 3/4 x 5 and 3 x 4 1/4 together and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto the 3/4 x 3 piece of Whisper White Cardstock. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add two drops of Smoky Slate Ink Refill to a quarter size drop of White Embossing Paste. Place the “dotted” Basic Pattern Decorative Mask over the top of Whisper White Cardstock. Apply the Smoky Slate Embossing Paste with a Palette Knife. Let dry.

If you have the Ladybug Dies (available to customers February 4, 2020), quickly crop the images with a die-cutting and embossing machine. If not, (I don’t have mine yet) snip with Paper Snips. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add two Coastal Cabana Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sides of the sentiment.

Stamp Review Crew Brings You: Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day for a Beautiful Day Stamp Set!
Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop! Today we bring you a stamp set that has been around for a bit, but it is ‘beautiful’ and so great to create with. My post will be short and sweet (it is my oldest’s birthday today and we are heading to the Wild Hockey Game as I type this).
I used the Stamparatus to stamp the butterfly in Stazon Ink onto Vellum Cardstock. I had to stamp it twice for complete coverage and the Stamparatus allowed me to easily do that!
I snipped it out with Paper Snips, then flipped it over and colored it with Stampin’ Blends. I used Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam, Bermuda Bay, Pretty Peacock, and Night of Navy…All Dark as Vellum Cardstock mutes the colors.
I adhered it to the card with a single Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
My card also uses a brand new 3D Embossing Folder from the 2020 Jan-June Mini Catalog called Parisian Flourish, which is part of the Parisian Blossom Suite of products.
When using 3D Embossing folders, it always gives a better embossed image if you spritz the cardstock with a bit of water using a Stampin’ Spritzer prior to zipping it through the die-cutting and embossing machine. Use the 3D Embossing Plate for ease of creating your sandwhich.
I love how the sentiments pop when you heat emboss with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto Basic Black Cardstock. Snipping the sentiment with Paper Snips is my favorite way to display it!
