Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 40 - Blueberry Bushel

It's time for Week 40 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are showcasing Blueberry Bushel from the Regals Collection. I love this beautiful blue and I couldn't wait to create this fun birthday card to share with you.

For my card design, I chose to use the Friendly Fins Bundle from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog and paired it with the So Swirly Embossing Folder to add some texture to the background. This birthday card design is so much fun and works well for people of all ages.

Shark image stamped and die cut with the Friendly Fins Bundle

This clean and simple birthday card was so much fun to create and I love how it showcases Blueberry Bushel. I wanted to add some texture to the background using the So Swirly Embossing Folder to give the illusion of water for the shark. I stamped the hammerhead shark outline image using Blueberry Bushel Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and then stamped the body image also using Blueberry Bushel Classic ink, stamping it off once to give it a lighter shade. I die cut the shark image out using the coordinating die and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy Birthday image using Blueberry Bushel Classic ink onto the sentiment label that I die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I attached it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it below the shark image. To complete the card design, I added two of the Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems for a touch of bling.

ICS One Last Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

Welcome to the March ICS One Last Sale-a-bration Blog Hop as we focus on the amazing Sale-a-bration promotion which will come to an end March 31st. We will be showcasing the amazing Level 1 and Level 2 Sale-a-bration products that you can earn for Free with a qualifying order during this wonderful promotion. I hope that our projects will help inspire you to explore these amazing products.

Today I thought I would create a card design with the Hello Cupcake (item #149714) Level 1 Sale-a-bration stamp set that can be earned Free with a qualifying US$50 order during Sale-a-bration. It is such a fun stamp set and great for all kinds of celebrations. Today I paired it with the New Call Me Cupcake Framelits (item #150072) that are available to purchase during the month of March or while supplies last. This set of framelits coordinates perfectly with the Hello Cupcake stamp set and means no more fussy cutting.

For my color palette, I chose colors from the 2018-2020 In Color Collection - Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch. I just love all the wonderful products that coordinate in these colors to make creating easy and stress free.

The card base was created with Lovely Lipstick cardstock and I added a layer of striped Lovely Lipstick designer series paper from the In Color 2018-2020 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack (item #146963). The cake stand was die cut from Silver Foil using the framelits dies and I stamped the cupcake images using Blueberry Bushel Classic ink for the cupcake base, Pineapple Punch Classic ink for the cake and Lovely Lipstick Classic ink for the frosting. The Call Me Cupcake Framelits dies have coordinating framelits to die cut each of these pieces. The lid of the cupcake stand was die cut from Whisper White cardstock.

To decorate the cupcake base, I die cut small hearts using the coordinating die from the framelit set from Lovely Lipstick cardstock. The sentiment was heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder and punched out with the Story Label Punch (item #150076), another Sale-a-bration Coordination product that is available for a limited time.

I added a small bow created with the Pineapple Punch 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon (item #146953) and attached it to the card front with a Mini Glue dot. For a touch of sparkle, I added Dazzling Diamonds (item #133751) to the frosting of the cupcake.

This bright and cheerful card design is so much fun to create and with the 2018-2020 In Colors, you have so many wonderful color combinations to choose from. Remember that Sale-a-bration ends March 31st, so don't forget to place your order take advantage of the great rewards. If you live in the U.S. and don't already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
