2020 Kre8tors July Blog Hop Color Challenge

Welcome to the 2020 Kre8tors July Blog Hop and this month we have a wonderful color challenge to share with you. Our theme this month is Tropical Nights and the colors for this challenge are Basic Black, Basic Gray, Rococo Rose, Night of Navy and So Saffron. We have been challenged to use at least one of these colors to create our project. I am so excited to see what this talented group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators creates this month.

For my card, I chose to use all the colors to create this clean and simple design. This card features the Painted Poppies Bundle (item #153827) for the main design and I used the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (item #148580).

To create this card design, I started with a Basic Gray cardstock card base and added a layer of Whisper White cardstock for the focal layer. I stamped the poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set, towards the center of the cardstock, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them using So Saffron and Rococo Rose Stampin' Blends Markers.

I wanted to create a soft water color look for the background, so I used the Night of Navy Watercolor pencil from the Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2 (item #149014) to lightly color around the poppies to create a soft background. I then used a Blender Pen and smoothed out the pencil marks to create a subtle background.

To create the border, I attached a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Basic Gray Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack (item #152485) to the left side of the Whisper White cardstock layer. I added a piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (item #144213) along the side of the designer series paper strip. I attached the card front to the card base with adhesive.

To complete the card design, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala stamp set onto Basic Black cardstock with White Embossing Powder. I die cut the sentiment using one of the labels from the Painted Labels Dies and attached it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a touch of bling, I added two small Basic Rhinestones to finish off the card design.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to explore using these wonderful colors in your creative projects. There are so many great options with Stampin' Up!'s amazing coordinating products to spark your creativity.

What's New At SU January Blog Hop Peaceful Poppies Suite

It's time to hop along with the What's New At SU Blog Hop as we showcase the amazing Peaceful Poppies Suite from the new January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. You will be visiting with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

My card design today features the Painted Poppies Bundle (item #153827) along with the Peaceful Moments stamp set (item #151595) to create this elegant thank you card. For my color combination, I chose Blushing Bride, Smoky Slate, Basic Black and Whisper White to create a clean and simple design with non-traditional colors.

To create this card, I chose Smoky Slate cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock that I embossed with the Stone 3D Embossing Folder from the Power of Hope Bundle (item #152318), a Sale-a-bration product that you can earn Free with a qualifying order. I love the texture this embossing folder adds to the background.

The poppies and leaves images from the Painted Poppies stamp set were stamped with Versamark ink onto Whisper White cardstock and I heat embossed them with Shimmer Black Embossing Powder. I die cut them with the coordinating dies from the Painted Labels Dies and water colored the poppies with Blushing Bride Classic ink and the leaves with Soft Sea Foam Classic ink using an Aquapainter. I die cut a large label from Smoky Slate cardstock and the smaller label from Whisper White cardstock.

Using Silver embossing powder, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (item #151595)onto the Whisper White label. I die cut the border from Basic Black cardstock and attached it to the bottom of the Smoky Slate label and attached the layered labels to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the poppies and leaves with Stampin' Dimensionals to the card front so that they overlapped the label. To complete the design, I added some shimmer to the poppies and leaves with Clear Wink of Stella and colored two of the Basic Pearls with the Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the opposite corners for a touch of bling.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore the wonderful products in this beautiful suite and inspire you to create your own projects.
