April SU colour challenge

Hello Everyone,

Time for another colour challenge. This is a Facebook group challenge, just for fun, to stretch the creativity.

My card also features retiring products, Perennial Birthday stamp set, the Pretty Label Punch and Call Me Clover ink.

I started by adding a band of colour across a white card layer using a stamping sponge and wrapping some polka dot ribbon around it.

The flowers and foliage were added next and the panel was adhered to a white card base.

The sentiment was stamped with Call Me Clover ink and punched with the Pretty Label punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Upline Colour Challenge 2

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another colour challenge card, just a bit of fun during these crazy times.

I have taken the opportunity to showcase some retiring products, Pop of Petals, Perennial Birthday, Four Petal Flower punch and the Leaf Punch.

You can see all the last chance products here along with links to the Early Release Product Medley and the Clearance Rack.

I stamped my own background layer with Pop of Petals and Mango Melody ink. This adhered to a Poppy Parade card base.

Coastal Cabana ink was used to add some leaves to separate layer and stamp the sentiment. I ran a Poppy Parade marker along the edge and adhered this with dimensionals.

Flowers were stamped with Poppy Parade ink and punched out. Multi purpose glue was used to secure them to the card.

Finally, some punched vellum leaves added some additional details and texture.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Lots of Happy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

Have you seen the Stamparatus tool? I couldn’t have made this card front without it!

I started at the bottom of the card stock, stamping first with Night Of Navy ink.

Keeping the card in place, the stamp plate was moved up on the hinge. I stamped the next row with Pacific Point twice.

The plate was moved up again, and stamped with Pacific Point once.

The next two levels were stamped without reinking the stamp.

The rest of the card was made by matting and layering with glimmer paper and Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper.

Swirly Birthday #GDP177

Hello Everyone,

This week the challenge is a colour challenge!

See what the Design Team have created with this colour combo here

And this is my card…

I love the Swirly Bird stamp set…. It can be used for any occasion, gender neutral, and works with just about any colour combination going!

I started with Granny Apple Green ink, stamping the splatter image in both first and second generation ink.

The large swirl was added next with Coastal Cabana ink. The same ink, but second generation, was used for the smaller swirl.

For the sentiment, I used the bold font of the Perennial Birthday set with Melon Mambo ink. I adhered this to the card with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed below.

Inspire.Create #024

Good Morning,

I was spoiled for choice when it came to designing this card for this week’s Inspire.Create challenge.

The design team have made some fabulous pretty cards that you can on the Inspire.Create blog here!

I plumped for the Perennial Birthday stamp set. At first, I thought I would use pink ink, but finally settled on purple and blue.

I began by Stamping the florals on to a white card layer, (4 by 5-3/4 inches).

Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and Balmy Blue ink built the background. Some speckles of Soft Sea Foam filled in the white spaces and added some texture.

The bottom corners were rounded before adhering to a Granny Apple Green card base.

White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon and Rose metallic thread were looped and secured on to the card. The sentiment was added over the top with dimensionals.

In Colours 2018

Hello Everyone!

It’s almost here! The new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue 2018 will go live this Friday 1st June.

We will be saying goodbye to the In Colours that joined in 2016….. But that means there are new ones!

Introducing…..

Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel.

Aren’t they divine!

So for today’s post, I have made five identical cards to showcase these colours and the coordinating card stock and Designer Series Paper.

I have used white card stock to make the card bases and added In Colour DSP to each.

White card stock was cut to 3 by 4-3/4 inches and stamped with matching ink using Touches of Texture.

The Starburst Punch was used to cut the card stocks and adhered to a circle of vellum. This was adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Perennial Birthday was used to stamp the sentiment on to one inch strips of white card. These were trimmed to size using the Triple Banner Punch.

I hope you enjoyed this project. More projects featuring new catalogue items coming over the next week!

Have you got a new catalogue?? If not let me know and I will post one out to you absolutely FREE!

Lovely Happy Birthday

Good Morning!

I’ve made another large card for today’s project. This one features the Whole Lot of Lovely designer series paper.

The base was made from Tangerine Tango card stock which was cut lengthways at 5-7/8 inches and then folded in half. Keep the leftover strip for later.

A 5-3/4 inch square of patterned paper was added to the front.

Two 3-3/4 inch squares of Tangerine Tango were cut to make the topper. One was covered with patterned paper.

The plain square was adhered flat to the card base with Snail adhesive. The patterned piece was added at an angle with dimensionals.

Using the strip of leftover card stock, punch out six flowers with the Pansy punch. Also cut three sets of leaves from Old Olive card stock with the Leaf Punch.

Each of the flowers were lightly spritzed with water and scrunched. Once dry, two flowers were layered together with glue dots.

The flowers and leaves were arranged in the corner. Black rhinestones were added to the centres.

I used my stamparatus to make sure the sentiment was stamped well. Using the tool allowed me to stamp twice in the same place to give a very crisp image. I cut some banner ends and adhered with Snail adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Perennial Birthday

Hi Everyone,

I would like to share this card made with the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

A Calypso Coral card base was stamped with the speckles around the edge.

A piece of Whisper White card was stamped with the smaller flower using Calypso Coral ink. These were “stamped off” once for a more faded look.

Garden Green ink was used to stamp the sentiment.

I used Stampin’ Write markers to colour the large flower stamp for a multi coloured impression. This was cut with a Layering Circle die and layered on to a Garden Green scalloped circle.

As a final touch, a small bow tied from Basic Grey Shimmer ribbon.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked below. These will be available to purchase from 3rd January 2018.
