Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 31 - Pretty Peacock

Happy Friday everyone. It's time for Week 31 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge and this week we are showcasing Pretty Peacock from the Regals Collection. I love this gorgeous blue-green color and how versatile it is. I hope you enjoy the card design I created this week.

For today's card design, I wanted to play with the new Sketched Butterflies Bundle from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I love butterflies and I was so excited when I saw the detailed images and beautiful sentiments in this bundle. I chose to create a clean and simple birthday card using one of the patterns from the Regals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper for my background. I love the texture and detail it adds to the card design and how it gives the impression that the butterfly is flying through a forest. The Countryside Corners Dies help add a frame around the focal image that really makes the butterfly pop. I love how this card design turned out and with the wide range of sentiments and images in this bundle, you could create a variety of card designs for all occasions.

This beautiful clean and simple card design is easy to create with just a few supplies. I love how the Countryside Corner Dies help create a frame around the focal image and sentiment and help them pop against the designer series paper card front. I stamped the butterfly with Pretty Peacock Classic ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and then die cut it out with the coordinating die. I also stamped the sentiment with Pretty Peacock Classic ink onto the focal layer towards the bottom. I attached the butterfly die cut with a Stampin' Dimensional towards the top of the focal layer and added several Pretty Peacock gems to decorate the body of the butterfly. I attached the focal layer to the larger Pretty Peacock die cut layer. To complete the card design, I attached the designer series paper card front to the Pretty Peacock card base and then centered the focal image onto the card front. As you can see, it comes together very quickly and easily to create a simply beautiful design.

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.
