GSF The Neutrals Blog Hop

It's time to hop with the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to use colors from the Neutrals collection in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. You will be visiting demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help provide you with ideas for your own creations.

Today I decided to showcase the wonderful variety of colors available in the Neutrals collection. These beautiful colors coordinate to help create wonderful projects. I chose to use Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot and Smoky Slate for this card design.

I chose to use Smoky Slate cardstock as my card base and added a layer of Night of Navy to provide a frame for the Whisper White cardstock focal panel.

To create the background, I used my color palette with the variety of images from the Bloom By Bloom stamp set (item #148820) that can be found in the 2019 Occasions Catalog. Mossy Meadow Classic ink works perfectly for the leaves and the small dots in the background and I love how the flowers turned out using Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Smoky Slate Classic inks.

To create the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Humming Along stamp set (item #148758) with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder onto a scrap of Night of Navy cardstock. I punched out the image using the Pretty Label Punch (item #143715) and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals over a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) that I attached across the center of the focal panel. To finish off the card design, I added Basic Pearls that I colored with the Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Marker (item #144039), to the centers of the Smoky Slate flowers.

As you can see, it is possible to create a beautiful card design using a variety of colors from the Neutral Collection. I love the elegant look that these colors add to the design. It is possible to create a variety of designs by experimenting with this collection. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you with your creative projects.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope my card design will help inspire you to experiment with the colors in the Neutrals collection and create your own projects.

Colour Combo March Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo March Blog Hop. This month we have been challenged to use Shaded Spruce, Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo in our project. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and creations to help inspire you. I hope that you will enjoy the projects we have to share with you today.

For my card today, I chose to use the Bloom By Bloom stamp set (item #148820) from the 2019 Occasions Catalog to create the background for my card front using each of the three colors. I did a combination of full strength and second generation stamping for the leaves in Shaded Spruce Classic ink to create the different shades of green.

For the card base, I chose to use Pool Party cardstock and I added a layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I liked that these two colors together created a Spring look for the card. I added two pieces of the Flirty Flamingo ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack (item #148584) across the center of the card front to embellish it.

The sentiment is from the Incredible Like You stamp set (item #148708) and I stamped it in Versamark in onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock and heat embossed it with White embossing powder. I punched it out using the Story Label Punch and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals, placing it over the top of the ribbon.

To finish off the card, I colored some Basic Pearls with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker and placed them in the center of several of the stamped flower images. I love that it adds just a touch of bling to this clean and simple card design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that you have enjoyed my card design today and I hope that it provides you with ideas for your own creations.
