GSF July Blog Hop In Colors

It's time to hop with the Global Stamping Friends (GSF) July Blog Hop and this month we have been challenged to share the current In Colors with you. Today I chose to use the beautiful Rococo Rose from the new 2019-2021 In Colors. As you travel along our blog hop, you will be visiting blogs from Stampin' Up! Demonstrators all over the world as they share their wonderful ideas using these beautiful colors. I hope that it will inspire you to explore creating your own projects with these colors.

Once again, I have chosen the Daisy Lane Bundle (item #151118) to create my card design and I hope that my project ideas this week have helped you to see just how versatile this bundle really is. If you have missed any of my previous posts, please go back and check out the projects I have been sharing with this amazing new bundle. The Daisy Lane stamp set (item #149325) and coordinating Medium Daisy Punch (item #149517) make it simple to create fun projects and when you order the bundle, you save 10%.

For today's card design, I chose to pair the beautiful Rococo Rose with Blushing Bride. I love how soft and pretty this color combination is. I chose to use Rococo Rose cardstock for the card base and I embossed it with the Basket Weave 3D Embossing Folder (item #151797) to added wonderful texture to the background.

Next, I added a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock measuring 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" to create the base for the focal layer. Using the Medium Daisy Punch, I punched out the daisy from the center of a 2 3/4" square of Rococo Rose cardstock to create a negative image.

Using the Rococo Rose cardstock square as a guide, I added the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, so that it would line up below the cardstock square.

Now it's time to assemble the card. Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I attached the Rococo Rose cardstock square to the top of the Blushing Bride cardstock layer, lining it up so that there was and even border around the top and sides and the sentiment is below the bottom edge.

In the center of the negative daisy image, I added one of the Perennial Essence Floral Centers (item #149442). I just love the fuzzy texture of this embellishment and it reminds me of how the center of a daisy looks.

For the finishing touch, I took a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon (item #149704) and tied towards the end of the ribbon with a Piece of Linen Thread (item #104199). I then attached the Rococo Rose ribbon towards the bottom of the Blushing Bride cardstock layer. For the final step, I added the Blushing Bride cardstock layer to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I hope that my card design will provide you with ideas to help you create your own projects and have fun with these beautiful colors and see how they combine with Stampin' Up!'s core colors. This lovely card design was inspired by a card shared by fellow Canadian Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Allison Okamitsu. I CASEd her original card and made some changes to come up with my own personal design. Don't be afraid to be inspired by the designs and projects of others in helping you create your 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.

ICS Blog Hop Introducing 2019-2021 In Colors

It's New Catalog time, which means brand new In Colors to explore, as well as fun new products available in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. This month the ICS Blog Hop features the 2019-2021 In Colors and we will be sharing fun and creative projects to help inspire you to try these wonderful new colors.

To create my card design today, I chose to use Seaside Spray and Rococo Rose together. I love this color combination and I added Very Vanilla for a warmer feel to the card design. I paired these colors with the new Free As A Bird Bundle (item #151123) to create this pretty card that is suitable for a variety of occasions. I love that when you purchase the bundle, you save 10%.

To create this card, I chose Seaside Spray cardstock for the card base and added a layer of Rococo Rose cardstock to create a frame for the focal design. I used one of the dies from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (item #149638) to die cut an opening in the Rococo Rose cardstock layer. I love that these dies create a stitched edge on both the inside and outside of the die cut. I used the leaves image from the Free As A Bird stamp set (item #149468) and stamped it onto the Rococo Rose cardstock using Rococo Rose Classic ink to create a tone on tone pattern.

To create the focal design, I stamped the birds image onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then chose one of the smaller dies to die cut the image so that it would fit inside the frame with a border around the edge. I colored the image using Stampin' Blends Markers for a soft and pretty look.

To assemble the card, I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the Rococo Rose cardstock frame and attached it to the Seaside Spray cardstock card base. Next, I added Snail Adhesive to the back of the focal image and carefully placed it in the center of the opening and pressed down firmly to attach it to the card base.

To finish off the card, I created the sentiment using the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (item #146667) and the Classic Label Punch (item #141491). I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then punched it out with the punch. I then punched out another piece from a scrap of Seaside Spray cardstock. I trimmed one end of both pieces (making sure it was the same end each piece) and layered them and attached them to the card front with Snail Adhesive.

For a touch of bling, I added Basic Rhinestones to the sentiment to complete the card design. I love how this clean and simple card design turned out and I look forward to using this color combination again in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today. I hope that my card design will inspire you to explore these amazing new colors in your creative 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.
