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.

GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT #GDP410 SKETCH CHALLENGE

This week’s Global Design Prject Challenge is a sketch challenge. I love these because there are so many ways they can be interpreted.

If you click on the image above, you will go to the GDP page for this challenge. You will find all the amazing projects created by the design team

For my entry I chose to feature the Warmest Heart Bundle and one of the Cheery Patterns Embossing Folders.

After cutting and folding the Basic White cardbase I added a piece of DSP from the Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper.

I embossed a piece of Basic White card stock and cut it into four pieces. Each piece was adhered to the card front, at slight angles to allow the colours from the DSP to peek through.

I stamped the thermos using Blueberry Bushel and Shaded Spruce before cutting it using the Warmest Heart Dies. At the same time, I also cut two thermoses and two cups.

The sentiment was stamped in Granny Apple Green. I used dimensionals to position the stamped strip over one of the embossed panels.

The thermos was stamped inside the card and on the envelope. Finally, I added some Blueberry Bushels gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

TIME TO START SHARING SOME CHRISTMAS CARDS

Originally, I had wanted to post this card for the Global Design Project #408. This challenge was a CASE challenge.

I decided to feature the Joy of Christmas Suite Collection for this project.

I started by choosing the Designer Series Papers that I wanted to use for this project. One came from the Joy of Christmas 12″ x 12″ DSP and the other from the Joyful 12″ x 12″ Specialty DSP.

For these DSP designs, I chose Cherry Cobbler for the card base and Shaded Spruce for the matte layer.

The Specialty DSP was cut using a die from the Christmas Classics Dies. Then I used the Noel die, from the Joy of Noel Dies, to cut several pieces of gold foil. Each piece of gold foil had some Adhesive Sheet attached so that each letter could be layered to create height.

The ‘noel’ gold letters were then positioned inside the square space of the specialty DSP.

I added a strip of the DSP inside the card and covered the envelope flap as well.

To finish this project, I added some gold sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins to the card.

Now I’m off to plan a new project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
