Colour Combo October Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo October Blog Hop as we are challenged to use Mossy Meadow, Bermuda Bay and Smoky Slate to create our project this month. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas to help inspire you.

This month's color combination was quite a challenge and I decided to create a Winter themed card design using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I combined it with dies from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies and the In The Woods Dies to help create the Winter Scene as the focal image. I think that this design would work well as a masculine card for a variety of occasions.

Products Used:

Snowflake Wishes stamp set (item #153444)

In The Woods Dies (item #151809)

Snow Globe Scenes Dies (item #150655)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Bermuda Bay cardstock (item #131197)

Mossy Meadow cardstock (item #133676)

Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)

Smoky Slate Classic Ink Pad (item #131202)

Bermuda Bay Classic Ink Pad (item #147096)

Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Combo (item #154878)

Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (item #141897)

Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item #144220)

Sponge Daubers (item #133773)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Stampin' Seal (item #152813)

Measurements:

Bermuda Bay cardstock card base - 8 1/2" x 51/2" (scored at 4 1/4")

Mossy Meadow cardstock layer - 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White cardstock layer - 3 3/4" x 5"

Bermuda Bay cardstock for circle die cut

Whisper White cardstock for snow

Mossy Meadow cardstock for trees die cut

The key to this card design is in the layers. I attached the Whisper White cardstock layer to the Mossy Meadow cardstock layer with Stampin' Seal and then added it to the Bermuda Bay cardstock card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. To create the focal image, I die cut a large circle from Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and then die cut another circle from Whisper White cardstock and used the curved die from the In The Woods Dies to create the two layers for the snow. Using Bermuda Bay Classic ink, I sponged the edges of the snow layers with a Sponge Dauber to add a touch of color. The first layer of snow was attached to the Bermuda Bay circle with Stampin' Seal and then I attached the trees which were die cut from Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies with Stampin' Seal to the snow layer. I attached the second layer of snow with Stampin' Dimensionals to add dimension to the design. The sentiment and snowflakes were stamped with Smoky Slate Classic ink and I added Basic Rhinestones colored with the Light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends Marker for a touch of bling and added Clear Wink of Stella to the trees for shimmer.

GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop

Welcome to the GSF Trees and Wood Blog Hop for the month of August. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world as we share our project ideas to help inspire you. I hope that you will enjoy our blog hop this month.

Today I thought I would share with you a card I designed for my Christmas in July class last month, featuring the Winter Woods cling stamp set (item #151359) and the coordinating In The Woods Dies. For this card design, I chose to use Pretty Peacock, one of the new 2019-2021 In Colors, with Night of Navy and Sahara Sand.

I chose to use Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Sahara Sand cardstock that I stamped using the Crackle Paint background stamp (item #148752) with Pretty Peacock Classic ink, to create the look of bark. I just love the texture that this stamp adds to the background. Using a 2" strip of Pretty Peacock Gingham from the 2019-2021 In Colors 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack (item #149617), I created a banner using the Banner Triple Punch (item #138292) and attached to the Sahara Sand layer with Snail Adhesive.

To create the look of a night sky, I die cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock using the largest circle die from the Stitched Shapes Dies (item #152323). I attached the circle to the banner using Snail Adhesive.

To create my Christmas tree, I stamped the large evergreen tree image from the Winter Woods stamp set with Pretty Peacock Classic ink onto a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and then die cut it with the coordinating die from the In The Woods Dies.

For the sentiment, I stamped the image from the Dashing Deer cling stamp set (item #151362) with Versamark ink onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. I die cut the label using the Merry Christmas Dies (item #147912) I attached the sentiment and the tree image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up.

To complete my card design, I added some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the tree to create the look of snow and colored some small Basic Pearls with the Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker to create ornaments to decorate the tree.

I hope that you have enjoyed my Christmas card today and that it helps you to see how versatile the Winter Woods stamp set and coordinating In The Woods Dies can be in creating your own projects. If you live in the U.S. and do not already have a demonstrator, please contact me and I would be happy to help you.
