Colour INKspiration #151 – Just My Type

Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Cathy Pinchbeck.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI150, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Boho Blue and Pecan Pie, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, and metallics to your project. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.

To get your creative ideas flowing make sure you check out the Crew’s Projects in the CI#151 album. 

My contribution features the Just My Type Stamp Set and the 2023-2025 In Colour Treat Bags.

I decided to use the Copper Clay paper treat bag from the 2023-2025 In Colour Treat Bags because it is so close in colour to the Peca Pie cardbase I have chosen.

The paper bag was trimmed down to adhered the front of the cardbase.

Using the Just My Type Stamp Set, I stamped three typewriters in Balmy Blue, Boho Blue and Copper Clay. Then they were each fussy cut.

I took a small piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the paper image in Petal Pink, ensuring the outside lines of the paper were stamped through the feed rollers. Then I fussy cut the typewriter paper and placed it behind the Pecan Pie typewrited.

Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the Balmy and Boho Blue typewriters to the card front. Double Dimensionals were used to really pop the Copper Clay typewriter up off the card.

I stamped the small and super cute envelope several times and fussy cut them to add to the card front.

On the card insert and back of the envelope I masked and stamped three envelopes.

Finally, I attached some Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins to add that blingy element to the card.

Today is the 4th of July but this post is scheduled for the 23rd of August. This is the first time in such along, long time that I am scheduling specific posts so far in advance. Woohoo!

Now, I just need to go back and create some more projects to post in early July – I hope you will like them.

Until them, happy stamping.

YOU ARE JUST MY TYPE

I made these cards for my Coffee & Card Class this week.

It was time to share with the ladies, in attendance, the magic of the Stamparatus and the hinge step technique. Although the Stamparatus is now retired, I will help any of them to find one that someone has to sell.

As you can see, the two samples I made vary in the colours I used and some of the stamps from the set.

I chose Lost Lagoon, Moody Mauve, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat. The trim is from the 2023-2025 In Colour Jute Trim and the bling is from the the same In Colour Dots.

The paper in the typewriter is longer than the image on the stamp. Fortunately, because it is a photopolymer stamp, I was able to turn it around and stamp the paper a second time. THis gave me more space to stamp the words and images.

Three lengths of Pebbpled Path jute trim were wrapped around the Basic White layer and secured with Tear & Tape.

Then I tied a shorter length of the same trim across the three stands. Then I added a length of a different colour and tied a bow.

I like the way the jute trim holds the curls from being wrapped around the cylinder.

After the paper was stamped and adhered behind the typewriter rollers, I used a matching Stampin’Write Marker™ to draw in the missing sides.

There are so many colour combinations that could be used with this layout and product bundle.

CATCHING UP WITH COLOUR INKSPIRATION #CI143

My last post was a month ago – I know, where has the time gone and why have I been so inconsistent.

In that time, I totally missed posting my #CI142 creation.

No photo description available.

The colours for the latest challenge are the new 2023-2025 In Colours.

May be an image of boots and text that says 'Copper Clay #143 COLOUR e NKSPIRATION CHALLENGES In Wild Wheat Boho Blue the of 3 least at Moody Mauve hoos Pebbled Path'

It will be interesting to see how many use all the new In Colours in their challenge projects.

Here is my contribution.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett’s cards showcasing thumbnail images of her father’s watercolour paintings. His paintings are so stunning. It is no wonder that Patty is as talented as she is – apple/tree!

Stampin Up! crafting with you easel cards featuring watercolor paintings by Jim Burns. Cards by Patty Bennett

For my card, I chose a small panel from one of the designer papers from the Fresh as a Daisy 12″x 12″ DSP bundle.

The easel was stamped and die cut. Then I cut the ‘canvas’ in half to accommodate the larger DSP image.

I used a sharp cutting tool to create slits in the easel to ‘hold’ the ‘canvas’ image.

I used trimmmed half a sheet of Copper Clay for the card base.

A panel of Boho Blue cardstock was given texture by using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the paint brushes evenly down a strip of Basic White cardstock. The brushes were coloured in the new In Colours.

The paintbrush strip, easel and sentiment panel were all attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I ties a bow using the Boho Blue Jute Trim and some of the coordinating 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.

The card insert and envelope each have the paint brushes stamped in Pebbled Path.

I am so pleased that I have caught up with my Colour INKspiration challenge post – NOW, it’s time to make sure that the next one is added within the deadlines.

My next challenge is to start participating in the GDP challenges again.

Until then, happy stamping.
