I am always amazed by the colour combinations each Colour INKsiration Challenge throws at us … and, they are usually a combination that I would not have thought to use.
For this challenge I decided to use one of the upcoming product bundles from the January – April Mini Catalogue … EVERYDAY ARCHES.
One of the benefits of joining Stampin’ Up! is that you have the opportunity to see new catalogies and products before they go live to customers. During a preorded period, you will be able to buy new products and create with them before customers … and, as a ‘demonstrator’, you will enjoy a minimum 20% discount on most products.
Here is the project I created for this challenge.
I die cut the five challenge colours using the five smallest arch shaped dies. Then I layered and adhered them together.
Using the second largest arch die, I cut a Basic White arch and stamped the greeting in Shaded Spruce.
The layered, coloured arches were then added to the white arch using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I created the Shaded Spruce ‘wreath’ by pulling up the threads on one side of the ribbon. When it was very tightly pulled up, I cut the ribbon on the other end and pulled the threds up from that end. Then I tied the threads together very tightly to form the wreath.
Then I adhered the wreath to the card front using Multipurpose Glue.
The greeting was stamped on the card insert and a die cut Shaded Spruce bow was adhered to the back of the envelope.
When I showed this card to my youngest daughter, she asked me to recreate it as a Christmas card … and, here is what I made for her.
I am looking forward to using this bundle to create many more projects.
Until my next project, happy stamping.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
When the upcoming catalogue goes live, I will return with product images and order numbers.
