Color Inspiration

August Customer Thank you Cards

/ , , , , / 20 Comments

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post today.

For this months Customer cards I decided to use the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Shapes Dies, to create a clean and simple card. I love how they turned out!

To create my card I cut card bases in both Soft Sea Foam and Fresh Freesia CardStock. Then I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to die cut several hexagons from the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 largest hexagons with multipurpose liquid glue, and the smallest hexagon with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on Basic White cardstock. I stamped several images from the Hello Beautiful Stamp set to add a bit of texture to the card, then attached the Basic White layer to the card base.

The sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink, on a strip of Basic White cardstock. Then punched each side with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and added it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds because I just couldn’t resist adding a little more sparkle to the cards.

For the inside of my card I stamped the Bee and foliage images from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp set on Basic White cardstock, then adhered it to the inside of the card.

Hello From Me to You Card Measurements:

  • Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″
  • Basic White Layer: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Inside: 4′ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Strip for Sentiment: 1/2″ x 4″

Rainbow of Happiness – Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop

/ , , , , / 6 Comments

Welcome to the monthly Inspirations In Ink Blog Hop! This month’s theme is all about In Colors. You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea today. I hope you enjoy all our In Color Blog Hop Projects!

Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky are one of my favorite In Color combinations and are featured in my project. Rainbow of Happiness is one of the Bundles in the Jan-June Mini Catalog that I will miss so I wanted to use it in my project before it retires on June 30th.

To create my card I started with the Sweet Sorbet cardbase from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes. I die cut several of the rainbow stripes in Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky 6″x 6″ DSP Assortment. Then, I adhered them to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut the cardstock with the 2nd largest rectangle in the Deckled Rectangles Dies.

I used the Cloud Punch to punch out a Basic White Cloud and a Vellum Cloud. Then snipped the Vellum Cloud in half and adhered it to the back of the Basic White Cloud with Mini Glue Dots. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach it to the rainbow.

The label is die cut with the Tailor Made Tags dies. I used Masking Paper to cover up “World” and stamped the sentiment in Sweet Sorbet. Then masking the stamp again stamped “World” in Starry Sky.

I tied a piece of Starry Sky Metallic Woven Ribbon to the top of the tag and then attached it to the Basic White layer with Mini Glue Dots.

To put all the layers together, I adhered a piece of the Lovely Layers Vellum with Multipurpose glue to the cardbase. Then added the Basic White layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the Iridescent Jewels to the front of the card and stamped some hearts to the inside of the card.

As mentioned at the top, this is a blog hop so make sure you ‘hop’ around to all the amazing projects on this hop! Click on the links below to visit them.

Rainbow of Happiness In Color Card Measurements:

  • Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes Cardbase 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ score in half at 4-1/4″

A Cup of Tea with Glimmer

/ , , , / Leave a Comment

The Cup of Tea Bundle is one of my favorite Bundles n the new Annual Catalog! As a lover of Tea this was at the top of my shopping list!

My card also features the 2022-2024 In Color 6’x6″ Glimmer Paper. If you haven’t tried it, Glimmer Paper is amazing! I love the shimmer it adds to my projects and its mess free! No traces of glitter all over my craft room!

To create this card I cut (2) 1/2″x 5-1/2″ strips of Starry Sky Glimmer Paper, and (2) 1/2″x5-1/2″ Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper. I adhered them to the Basic White cardbase with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I die cut a stitched circle in Vellum with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Using Tear & Tape I added a strip of White glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added another strip of Tear & Tape over the ribbon to add it to my cardbase.

Then using an Adhesive Sheet added to the back of some Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper, I die cut the leaf tea cup. I die cut the sold Tea Cup in Starry Sky Glimmer Paper. This made adding the Parakeet Party Tea Cup to the Starry Sky tea cup super quick and easy. I attached the tea cup to the Vellum Circle with Foam Adhesive Sheet cut to fit the cup.

To finish my card, I stamped 2 tea tags in Starry Sky and Parakeet Party and die cut them. I tied some Basic White Bakers Twine to my card and left 2 long tales at the top. Using Glue dots I attached the tags to them. I added these cute die cut hearts to the back of the tags with another glue dot.

Cup of Tea with Glimmer Card Measurements:

  • Basic White Thick Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in half at 4-1/4″
  • Starry Sky Glimmer Paper Strip: (2) 1/2″ x 5-1/2″
  • Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper Strip: (2) 1/2″ x 5-1/2″

Happiness Abounds – Luv 2 Stamp Group Blog Hop

/ , , , / 8 Comments

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting! This month’s theme is Teacher Appreciation.

To celebrate all the wonderful Teachers who inspired us to learn, I wanted to make a fun fold card using the vibrant new 2022-2024 In Colors.

I’ve been using some new products coming on May 3 in the new Annual Catalog and wanted to incorporate those into my card as well. To start, I chose Orchid Oasis cardstock for the card base, cut to 4-1/4″x 11″, scored at 2-3/4″ & 8-1/4″.

I embossed 2 panels of Orchid Oasis cardstock with the Thanks Embossing Folder from the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders. Each one was adhered to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To create the rainbow, I used new 2022-2024 6×6 DSP Assortment and the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis with a stamp from the new Happiness Abounds Stamp set. I love this sentiments and mixed fonts in this set, and I will be using it a lot!

Before adding the sentiment to my card, I cut the same DSP used to create the rainbow, to create the layers under the sentiment. To adhere the sentiment layers to the front of my card, I used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and carefully added it to top edge of the sentiment layer, then adding ti to the top flap so that the card would still open. You can see the picture on the right below when the card is open you can see the back of Sentiment layer. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a bit of sparkle.

On the inside Basic White Cardstock layer, I adhered a strip of Orchid Oasis DSP. Using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle created the inside sentiment. I colored the smaller rainbow with Stampin Blends, using the Light Sweet Sorbet, Light Parakeet Party, Light Tahitian Tide and Light Orchid Oasis.

You’re Absolutely Amazing

I had fun creating with the Color and Contour Bundle and a few of the 2021-2023 In Colors. The note cards and envelopes seemed the perfect choice for these cards.

To create my cards, I randomly stamped the flower image around the outside the card base. Then I used the shaded image of the flower to add color to the flowers. Stamping off the shaded image on my grid paper then on the flower allowed me to get different shades of the color on the flowers.

I die cut a piece of coordinating 2021-2023 In Color DSP Assortment with the Scalloped Contours Dies. I adhered the DSP with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I die cut several labels with the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiments with the Color and Contour & the Enjoy The Moment stamp sets. Then added the labels to the Scalloped Doilies with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also put a few glue does on the back of the doilies, to make sure they would stick when I added them to the cards.

I stamped and die cut a flower for each of my cards, and adhered them with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the labels. Finally, you guessed it, I added a few of the2021-2023 In Color Jewels to the center of each flower for a perfect touch of bling.

I hope you enjoy these cute note cards and are inspired to create a few. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!
