SENDING HUGS

Hello and thank you for popping by to check out my latest project.

Today I want to share a card that I have made using the new Soft Pastels Assortment to colour an embossed piece of cardstock.

I began by using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder to achieve the floral texture on the Basic White panel. To colour the raised elements, I used the spatula end of my Take Your Pick Tool to shave some of the pastel from the Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade sticks. This powder was shaved onto five different blocks. Then I used a cotton bud/cue tip to pick up the powder and transfer the colour to different areas. (You could use a sponge dauber for this.)

When the embossed panel was coloured, I cut and adhered two pieces from the Brights 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. The next step was to take a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon, tie a bow and wrap it around and across the join between the two pieces of DSP. I then took another length of the same ribbon, trimmed away one edge and frayed the remaining ribbon to create a fringe. This was then adhered diagonally at the top of the Granny Apple Green DSP.

I attached a piece of Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of a scrap of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and cut out the ‘hugs’ from the Layering Hugs Dies. The ‘SENDING YOU’ was stamped, using Gorgeous Grape ink, onto a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock and cut using a die from the same set. After adhering strips of the Brights DSP to the card insert and envelope, I coloured some Pearl Basics Jewels using the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.

The Soft Pastels Assortment is a great collection of 8 Stampin’ Up!® colours and gives a lovely, soft colour to this project. It is always fun finding ways to use current and new products.

What do you think? Would you like to see more ways to use the Pastels? Who would you send ‘hugs’ to?

Happy stamping.

TIME FOR A LITTLE MORE COLOUR INKspiration

Hello and welcome to each and everyone of you who have popped by to see my latest project. I am so very delighted that you have shared your time with me.

This project is for the #CI103 colour challenge.

May be an image of text that says '#103 Bumblebee Pale Papaya Soft Succulent Evening Evergreen COLOUR s SPIRATION CHALLENGES'

I love the rich, tropical colours that are inspired by this image.

Although it is very tropical, I decided to use a stamp set that has no floral or leaf images. I definitely wanted to try something completely different. So, here it is!

I decided to use the new Delivering Cheer Stamp Set from the upcoming Mini Catalogue. There are lots of elements in this card – let me take you through each step.

The first step was to cut and adhere a piece of Silver Foil to a panel of Bumblebee cardstock. Then, it was passed through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. These layers were then adhered to an Evening Evergreen cardbase.

Using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set, from the July-December Mini Catalogue, the upper and lower halves of the ‘person’ were stamped and then coloured using Stampin’ Dimensionals – using Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I also used Clear Wink of Stella to add shimmer to the skirt and elements of the gifts.

I fussy cut the skirt section and the gifts section, before adding Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the two elements so that they could be elevated on the card front. The birthday greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set. It was stamped in Soft Succulent ink and cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The greeting also has Dimensionals used to pop it up and tuck it under the Dark Evening Evergreen shoes.

A length each of Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was cut in half lengthwise and with one half of each colour then tied into a bow. This triple ribbon was then attached to the ‘skirt’ using a Mini Glue Dot.

The gift box image was then stamped onto the card insert and envelope. Finally, I added some 2021-2023 In Colour Gems.

I always love the way that I can use current and new products together to create a unique, new project. This card turned out sooooooo much better than I thought it would – doing my happy dance!

What do you think? Do you like the glimmering Soft Succulent skirt? What about the triple bow at the waist? And, the gift boxes?

Who would you send this birthday card to?

I am looking forward to creating more projects using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set.

Happy stamping.

PETALS – HAND PENNED & BEAUTIFULLY PENNED

Hello and welcome to my Friday post. Thank you so much for taking the time to pop by.

On Monday, I shared a card that featured Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalogue and the upcoming Sale-a-bration Brochure, as well as some other new products from the soon to be available July-December Mini Catalogue.

The Hand Penned DSP, from the Annual Catalogue, is an impressive collection of hand drawn floral and patterned images that are stunningly water coloured. The Sale-a-bration Brochure has a coordinating, black and white collection of six of the 12 designs from the Hand Penned bundle.

Today’s project uses the same design from each of the DSP bundles.

I started by cutting a piece each from each sheet of DSP in the same place – the two pieces are an exact match. Then I overlapped the two pieces of DSP and used one of the Scalloped Contour Dies to cut out a panel in both pieces. This ensured that when I placed the coloured Hand Penned piece inside the space left in the black and white layer it would align perfectly.

After securing these two DSP layers to the Garden Green card front I stamped one of the floral images, from the Hand Penned Petals Stamp Set, and the sentiment, from the Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set, onto White Vellum using Jet Black StazOn ink. These elements were then cut using coordinating dies from the Penned Flowers Dies and Scalloped Contour Dies. They were then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Seal and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Making a sympathy card is always a bit of a challenge. I didn’t want to make it look too ‘sad’. The use of colour is important – black and white is respectful of the occasion and tradition; green suggests new life and growth; and the opaque nature of the vellum can symbolise transition.

I used the totally amazing Black & White Gingham Ribbon, from the new Mini Catalogue, and black twine, from the Annual Catalogue, to create this double bow. Then it was secured in the lower right-hand area of the card with a Mini Glue Dot.

The same floral image was stamped on the card inseet and envelope front. Finally, I added some Matt Black Dots in three of the flower centres.

I love this new Black & White Gingham Ribbon – it is going to be so popular and so versatile. What do you think? Will it be on your wishlist?

I look forward to you popping by again tomorrow. Happy stamping.
