FAREWELL RETIRING IN COLOURS CI#186

I’m joining in this Colour INKspiration challenge a little late but am pleased to be sharing a waterfall card using all the retiring colours.

For this project I chose the Sweet Jar Bundle as the featured products.

I thought a waterfall card would be a great way to show off the retiring colours as well as a new product bundle.

I found a piece of Copper Clay Designer Series Paper, from the Take to the Sky DSP, to use for this project.

The waterfall panels are slightly larger than the ‘usual’ measurements so that the jars would have a reasonable margin around them.

The jars were stamped with the jelly bean and hearts images. I used stamped off Basic Beige to leave the image shapes. Then I coloured these images using the coordinating Stampin’ Blends.

Each of the stamped and coloured Basic White panels were mounted on a slightly larger panel of the retiring cardstock.

The waterfall mechanism was made from Pebbled Path cardstock.

I added a strip of the same DSP on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I punched a small hole in the bottom of the mechanism and looped a length of coloured twine through the hole to assist with pulling the waterfall panels through.

Make sure to head over to our Facebook group and see what the crew has created – https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075

I hope that you also create a project for this challenge and share it in the group.

The next Colour INKspiration Challenge will begin on May 14.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

For the last 2 weeks I have been working on finding new homes for lots of my retired Stampin’ Up! products – it’s surprising how much time was needed to do this.

I am so pleased to be back creating again and I have five projects to share with you this week.

This week’s product bundle I have chosen to create with is the MORE THAN AUTUMN BUNDLE.

Ten days ago I posted a Colour INKspiration project that used this bundle. I knew that I wanted to make some more projects using it!

For this first project I decided to use the Round We Go Dies as well as the featured bundle.

I started by creating a Floating Panel card using Poppy Parade card and some paper from the Brights 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Use this die to create rosettes – cut 3.

To make the two rosette pieces I cut three Basic White and three DSP panels using the die, indicated above.

I folded into a concertina along each of the foldlines.

TIP: Fold the smaller tab end under and then alternate each crease line. Start each of the three die cut pieces in the same way. Then adhere the smaller tab end to the longer end of the next piece – repeat.

When all three pieces are glued together, push the scalloped edge in tightly toward the centre and glue it to a die cut circle – hold in place until the glue has dried.

TIP: To make the smaller rosette, I cut 1/2″ off the scalloped edge of each piece.

I stamped two of the takeaway cups using Night of Navy ink – one onto Basic White and the other on Night of Navy. Then I fussy cut the bottom and central panels of the Night of Navy cup and glued them to the Basic White cup.

I stamped and die cut a straw and a candy cane to add to the top of the cup.

Then I stamped multiple candy canes to the Poppy Parade card base and one to the back of the envelope.

The greeting was stamped and then cut using one of the rectangular Stylish Shapes Dies.

Finally, I added some of the Real Red & White Adhesive-backed Peppermints to the card.

Tomorrow I have a card that I made for last week’s Global Design Project Theme Challenge.

Until then, happy stamping.

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.

Picture credit – https://www.jenteephotography.com/post/moroccan-inspired-bridal-shoothttps://www.jenteephotography.com/post/moroccan-inspired-bridal-shoot

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.
