Tricia's Stamping Creations: We Create June Blog Hop All The Pretty Colors

Welcome to the We Create June Blog Hop as we explore all the pretty colors for this month's theme. One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is their amazing range of beautiful colors and the coordinating products that make it so easy to get creative. Our small but mighty Design Team will be sharing their projects and ideas to help spark your creativity and help you to add a little color to your life.

When I saw this month's theme, I just knew I had to use the new Full of Life 6"x6" Designer Series from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, because it is full of wonderful designs in beautiful color combinations. The hardest part about creating this card design was choosing which design I would use for the background of my card. I wanted to keep my card design clean and simple to help showcase the wonderful colors in this sun burst pattern. The sentiments from the Saying Hey stamp set are bold and fun and they work perfectly with this card design.

I love color, so the designs in the Full of Life Designer Series Paper pack are a dream come true for me. Not only are there so many beautiful color combinations, but the patterns are simply stunning and make perfect backgrounds for clean and simple card design. For the design I chose, I trimmed it to create a card front with the center of the sun burst design towards the center of the card front. I attached the designer series paper layer to a layer of Basic White cardstock to create a thin border and then attached it to the Blueberry Bushel card base to help make it all pop. For the sentiment, I stamped the large Hey sentiment with Berry Burst Classic ink onto the Basic White sentiment label and attached it to the center of the card front. For the smaller sentiment, I heat embossed the image with Silver embossing powder onto the Berry Burst label and attached it to the card front below the focal sentiment. To complete the design, I added several Berry Burst Gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack, which coordinates perfectly with the colors in this card design. I just love how bright and cheerful this card design is and I hope it will bring a smile to the person receiving it.
