Go For Greece Blog Hop – May 2018

Welcome to the Go For Greece Blog Hop. You are visiting Tatiana in Australia. We are a group of demonstrators from all around the world that are taking part in training organised by fellow demonstrator Kylie Bertucci. The aim of the group is to learn from top demonstrators who have had success with Stampin’ Up!®. Our goal is to achieve the incentive trip, this time to Greece in July 2019. The group is filled with so many wonderful demonstrators and I have loved being a part of this supporting community. It can be challenging when you want to turn Stampin’ Up!® into a business that supports your family and not knowing where to start and that you are going about things the right way can be confusing and overwhelming on your own. Part of our training is blog hopping!

Today my card inspiration came from card maker Jennifer McGuire’s you tube video. I loved how she created a floral cutout that was still attached to the cardstock. I thought the rose from the Sweet Cake Framelits by Stampin’ Up!® would be so cute with this technique. I’m so thrilled with how this card turned out!

Tatiana Creative Stamping Adventure Rose Card using Sweet Cakes Framelits Dies by Stampin' Up!®

To create this card:

Prepare landscape card base. I like mine to be top folding. I used Berry Burst.
Cut Shimmery White card stock 146.5mm x 103mm
With a pencil draw a light line 35mm down from the top.
Using the rose die from the Sweet Cake Framelits place it so that a small part of the die goes below the pencil line. Use washi tape to hold into place. TIP: I recommend having the washi tape on top half of the die (or to word this differently on the part of the die that is above the line).
Place the card stock and die onto the cutting plate so that the pencil line is on the edge of the plate. The idea is that we do not cut out the entire die, only the top part.
Run through the big shot and remove the die. The rose should only be partially cut out.
Repeat steps 4-6 again three more times (or as many times as you desire to complete the row of roses.
To remove all the pieces of card stock from the inside of the rose and between the roses cut along the pencil line with a craft knife. This then leaves roses coming out from the solid two thirds of card stock.
Using the line of dots die from eh Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits align underneath the roses and run though the Big Shot. This gives just a bit more of a border look. You can skip this step.
Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set.
Mount the Shimmery White card stock onto the card base using the Foam Adhesive Strips. The reason why I used the strips in this case was that I wanted a solid lift of the card so that when it went into the mail it would remain flat. I used the Foam Adhesive Strips on four sides and in the middle. You can use Stampin’ Dimensionals instead.

Below you will find the list of demonstrators who are blogging with me today. They all have wonderful projects to share with you. Happy Blog Hopping! You have been visiting Tatiana Tobin in Australia!

Thank you for visiting my blog! I hope that I’ve inspired you to be creative.

Bye for now!
