Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to the Creating Kindness Design Team's August blog & video hop. We are a group of independent Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world hoping to inspire you with our designs. We have created projects for you to enjoy with the theme of Texture and we are lucky to have Cheryll Miller as our Special Guest this month

You may have arrived here from Jenny Hall's blog or started here with me, Jay Soriano at Mitosu Crafts in the UK. You will find a list at the end of this post to check your progress along our hop or simply click the 'Visit Next Blog' image to be taken to Carolynn Sander's blog from Canada

For my project, I created a card inspired by Barry! He made an amazing double embossed card by heat embossing on the new Embossing Paste by Stampin' Up! and I thought it's a great technique to share for a video tutorial. I have a feeling that the embossing paste will be a popular item on this hop and will hopefully show how you can use it with ease and achieve different looks for your own handmade creations

Love Sunshine Wishes ~ Male Card Inspiration #stampinup

Hi Everyone

Thanks for stopping by today. I just wanted to share this card I made which I also entered to the Colour Inkspiration #CI10 challenge. I used the colour board below for inspiration which I thought would be a good colour combination for a male card. For me, adding texture and introducing touches of colours are a great way to create something a bit different than the male cards you see in the shops.

This card is pretty similar to my entry for the Global Design Project CASE the Designer ~ HERE which I would have entered for this challenge too but I did not use Delightful Dijon for that card. I also used the embossing paste I mixed myself for this project but can't wait to try out the one by Stampin' Up!

Delightful Dijon A5 folded in half

Island Indigo card 9.5cm x 13.8cm

Products Used:

Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies
Fine Tip Glue
Copper Metallic Thread
White Perfect Accents
Embossing Paste

Delightful Dijon has retired now along with Mint Macaron, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush and Tip Top Taupe. Which one are you missing already? Use them for your card bases if you still have them and make space for the 5 AMAZING new In Colours!

Click on the image above to see more products in Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide in our Online Shop.

Would you give this to a guy? I did, for Barry's birthday :)

Thanks again for stopping by today. Until next time, BYEEEEE!
