Kickoff Party Sneak Peek: Power of Hope

Hi Stamping Friends!
 
During this morning's LIVE Class on Facebook, I shared some fun ways to stamp on Designer Series Paper as an alternative to coloring a stamped element.  On today's blog post, I'm sharing one pair of those featured cards and one of them is a card we'll be creating at Sunday's Sale-a-Bration & Mini Catalog Kickoff Party! 
 
If you're in the area, don't miss this HUGE event!  We'll make 20 unique, all-occasion cards using more than 4 dozen NEW stamp sets, tools and accents from the Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration Flyer and there will be lots of prizes and fun all afternoon!  This is my biggest local event of the year!  Attendees now have until Friday, January 24 to sign up!

Power of hope kimono piecing - two cool
 
Power of Hope Paper-Pieced Kimono Cards
I had so much fun creating different kimono patterns for this card…and it's so easy!  I used the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper and the Paper Piecing Technique!  Watch today's LIVE Class Video Replay linked above to see this technique in action!

Background Basics—This card begins by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Pool Party cardstock with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. The folder is part of the Power of Hope Bundle, which you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order!  I adhered it onto a vertically-folded Pool Party card base.

Next, I adhered a 4" x 1-1/4" piece of Lily Impressions DSP across the lower half of the card and a 1" x 5-1/4" strip of Champagne Foil down the side of the card to create a base for my focal point.

Cool Kimono—I die-cut a Whisper White label shape using the Painted Labels dies and stamped the Power of Hope image on it in Memento Black ink.  For the Paper Piecing Technique, I stamped the image again onto a pattern of the Lily Impressions DSP, cut out the kimono shape with my Paper Snips, and adhered it over the top of the original stamped image.  It's a very forgiving technique, so don't worry if you don't stay on the lines perfectly.  

I finished by coloring in the rest of the image with Stampin' Blends Markers: Pool Party for the umbrella, Ivory for her face and Light Black for her hair.  It's popped up with Dimensionals onto the card front.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment onto a 2-1/2" x 1/2" piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, fishtail cut the end and popped it up with Dimensionals.  Finally, I added a couple of Holiday Rhinestones on the foil. Love it!  We'll be making this card at the Kickoff Party!

Two Cool—For the second version, I started with Purple Posy for the card base and background and added a coordinating Lily Impressions strip on the background.

Cool Kimono—I selected a different Lily Impressions DSP pattern for the kimono on this one and colored the umbrella with Purple Posy and Rich Razzleberry Light Blends.  The sentiment is on Pool Party cardstock.  I can't wait to try more kimono patterns…maybe even with different DSP from the Mini Catalog!  Which one should I try next?
