Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop Blogger's Choice - Annual Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends September Blog Hop as we explore the wonderful products in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog with a Blogger's Choice theme. We will be sharing our projects and ideas to help inspire you to create your own beautiful projects with these amazing products.

Summer is almost over and we begin the transition to a new season. For my card design today, I wanted to create a card that showcased the beautiful Nature's Harvest stamp set and coordinating Harvest Dies, to create a design that shows that transition into Fall. The colors I chose to use are Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Whisper White and I added texture using the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder to add a rustic feel to the design. The background paper is a design from the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper, which is a Host Reward you can earn for Free with a qualifying order or party. This design works well for a variety of occasions and by changing the color combination, you can personalize the look and feel of the card.

This pretty card design is a wonderful combination of color and texture and I love how it all came together. For the background, I used a piece of the Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper to add some contrast and texture to the design.  The Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder was used to add texture to the tags and the side panel on the card front and I added Pear Pizzazz Classic ink to the embossed Basic White tag to give it some soft color using a Sponge Dauber. For the Old Olive side panel, I sponged the embossed areas with Old Olive Classic ink to bring out the texture and add dimension to the design. The tags were tied together using a piece of the Gold Satin Edged Ribbon and the Party Parakeet Metallic Woven Ribbon to step up the card design. The floral image was colored with Stampin' Blends Markers and die cut with the Harvest Dies. For a touch of bling, I added Gold Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots to finish off the design.

Colour Combo June Blog Hop

Welcome to the Colour Combo June Blog Hop as we are challenged this month to use Early Espresso, Merry Merlot and Flirty Flamingo to create our projects. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to explore this wonderful color combination to create your own amazing projects. 

This was a challenging color combination but I love how the finished card design turned out. I had so much fun creating the blended background using Merry Merlot and Flirty Flamingo Classic inks using Blending Brushes. The stamped and embossed floral image and sentiment really pop against the pretty background. This card design would also work well as a birthday or even as a sympathy card.

Measurements:

Merry Merlot Cardstock

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

Flirty Flamingo Cardstock

Layer 1 - 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Basic White Cardstock

Card Front - 5" x 3 3/4"

This beautiful card design has a wonderful glow to the background and really helps the focal image stand out. I heat embossed the focal image and sentiment using Versamark ink and Early Espresso Classic ink with Clear embossing powder to help step up the design. For the blended background, I sponged the center of the card front with Flirty Flamingo Classic ink and added Merry Merlot Classic ink around the outside edges. The Blending Brushes did a wonderful job of blending the colors together to create this beautiful card design. I colored three of the small Basic Rhinestones with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the card front for a touch of bling. I attached a piece of the Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim across the bottom the card front to add some texture. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I popped up the Flirty Flamingo layer onto the Merry Merlot card base for extra dimension. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to step outside your comfort zone and try this color combination to create your own wonderful projects.
