Crafty Challenge September Blog Hop Color Inspiration

 

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop as we explore this month's wonderful color challenge using Bermuda Bay, Merry Merlot and Cajun Craze. With today being the first day of Fall, I think these colors are perfect for creating a Fall themed card design. 

For my card design today, I decided to pair the Textures & Frames stamp set with the In Your Words stamp set to create a warm Fall themed card design. Both of these stamp sets are exclusive during Sale-a-bration and can be earned as a free reward. I love the abstract designs in the Textures & Frames stamp set and chose several of the images to create the designs for this card. I also added Copper, Gold and Silver to help step up the design.

This card design was so much fun to create and I love the way these colors work together. I love how the metallic embossing powders helped step up the background design for the focal layer and the Copper detailed leaf adds a wonderful finishing touch to the card design. The Textures & Frames stamp set has so many amazing images that are perfect for creating fun background designs. I used the splotch image to create a tone on tone look for the Cajun Craze cardstock layer. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the Bermuda Bay cardstock layer and the sentiment label to add dimension to the design. The Linen Thread bow is the only embellishment that I added to the design as I felt that the embossing and the Copper foil added enough bling without overwhelming the card. 

This wonderful Fall themed card design would work well for a variety of occasions and would make a great masculine card design. I had so much fun creating with this beautiful color combination and can't wait to try creating more card designs with them. There are so many wonderful possibilities to explore.

Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights August 2021

Welcome to Kylie Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights for the month of August. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators sharing our projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative. Our theme is Thank You and who doesn't need Thank You cards to send out to people to show how much we appreciate them. 

Fall is just around the corner, so I decided to create this Fall themed Thank You card using the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog. For the background, I used the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder to add some wonderful texture. This clean and simple card would be great for a masculine design. 

Products Used:

Gorgeous Leaves Bundle (item #158609) New

Macramé 3D Embossing Folder (item #155435)

Layering Circles Dies (item #151770)

Pansy Patch stamp set (item #154999)

Double Oval Punch (item #154242)

Cajun Craze Cardstock (item #119684)

Early Espresso Cardstock (item #119686)

Sahara Sand Cardstock (item #121043)

Gold Foil Sheets (item #132622)

Versamark Pad (item #102283)

Metallic Embossing Powders (item #155555)

Stampin' Dimensionals (item #104430)

Measurements:

Cajun Craze Cardstock

Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Early Espresso Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5 1/4" x 4"

Large Circle die cut with Layering Circles Dies

Sentiment Oval die cut with Double Ovals Punch

Sahara Sand Cardstock

Background Layer - 5" x 3 3/4" Embossed with Macramé 3D Embossing Folder

Gold Foil Sheet

Detailed Leaf die cut with Intricate Leaves Dies (from Gorgeous Leaves Bundle)

For this card design, I chose warm colors suitable for Fall. I love the way that the Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Sahara Sand work together and the touch of Gold foil and Gold embossing helps step up the card design. To create this card, I embossed the Sahara Sand cardstock layer with the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set onto the Early Espresso oval and also heat embossed the splatter image from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set randomly onto the large Early Espresso circle. I attached the Gold foil leaf onto the Early Espresso circle and attached both the circle and the sentiment oval to the embossed Sahara Sand cardstock layer. I attached the Sahara Sand cardstock layer to the Early Espresso layer and then attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I decided not to add any embellishments to the design, preferring to keep it nice and simple. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to create your own wonderful Thank You cards. There are so many wonderful products to explore in the new July-December 2021 Mini Catalog.
