Delicate Dahlias with a 2-toned color technique


Here's a card I made for an online swap I participated in.  I needed to use an item from the new Sale-a-Bration catalog and the Delicate Dahlias stamp set was my first choice of sets.  

It has a large dahlia along with a smaller flower image as well. And both are 2-step stamps with outline and solid, dystinktive images to match.  It also has two sets of leaves and 4 wonderful greetings as well!  

The triple-rectangles frame is a die-cut called Picture This dies.  You get 2 dies in the set; a set of rectangles and one of circles.  What I love most about these dies is that you can use both; the small stitched pieces OR the large frame!  See it here in the online store. 

Can you see the multiple hues of colors on these flowers? I inked the large solid dahlia in Pale Papaya ink first.  Then with a sponge dauber I added Calypso Coral ink on the outside and the center.  Then huff and stamp.  Clean between each inking. The small flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral ink and fussy cut.

  • Punch Party; get it FREE during Sale-a-Bration


    Who doesn't love free!?  There is a bonus stamp set added to every order over $300 during Sale-a-Bration this year.  It's called Punch Party & is available to both customers and demonstrators too! One thing I love about Stampin' Up! is that us demonstrators enjoy the same perks as customers! 

    I was able to pre-order this set during December; another favorite perk of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  

    Details:

    • I also used a new and FREE Designer Paper called Paper Blooms here.  The colors are Seaside Spray with Navy & White.  I use this pretty color combo often. 
    • Can you tell it's a fun fold?  The Seaside Spray is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  I added texture with the Meadow Moments embossing folder.  The Navy layer is a quarter sheet 5 1/2" X 4 1/4". 
    • I punched a white Small Bloom punch and added a pearl to the center.  It's sponged for a bit of color.  
    • The main image is stamped and punched out with the Rectangular Postage Punch. 

    Here's a close up of this lovely stamped image.

  • Corner Bouquet Triple Panel card & a tour of my studio & new catalog launch video


    Tuesday I held my new 2021 New Catalog Launch party and shared a virtual tour of my studio and Sale-a-Bration & Spring project displays.  I did have a little issue with a catch in my throat at the end but most of it's good.  Ha! 

    Below is a fun card showing you a way to use a large stamped image.  You can do it two different ways:

    Stamp first and then cut into three strips.  Or cut into strips, arrange together and stamp all at once.  This is what I did using my Stamparatus so I could re-stamp a few times for a nice dark image.  I've sure been using my Stamparatus a lot lately.  Do you have one?  It's so helpful! 

    After I stamped the main image I let it dry a bit and then ran all three strips through the die-cutting machine to add texture.  I used a brand new 3D embossing folder called Painted Texture. 

    These colors are Purple Posy, Night of Navy & Coastal Cabana.  I was inspired to combine these colors by one of our designer paper packs in the Annual Catalog called Playing with Patterns. 

    The greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the new 2021 Spring Catalog.

  • True Love Designer Paper; GORGEOUS!


    The True Love Designer paper is my very favorite designer paper in the 2021 Spring Catalog; it has gorgeous Black & White patterns.  I have always found Black & White  paper to be the easiest to work with since I can add almost any color I want to set it off.  Bright or soft colors all work wonderfully! 

    I made this card for another online swap a few weeks ago.  I just love the easy layout and how it makes the best use of both the Designer paper AND your card stock.  

    Products used:

    Black, White & Magenta Madness CS, True Love DSP, Black ink, Black glittered ribbon, Sweet Ice Cream stamp set , Treasured Tags pick a punch for White CS strip, Matte Black dots 

    Since Stampin' Up! had to stop offering their Whisper White card stock (manufacturer went out of business) we now have Basic White products.  And they're all available again!  Yay!  Check out this flyer here.  Download BASIC-WHITE-ANNOUNCEMENT-FLYER_US

    Paper saving tip: 

    With this layout you can get sixteen 3" square pieces from a 12" sheet of DSP; or 4 pieces from a 6 X 6" piece. 

    You can get 5 pieces of the main colored layer from a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock.  The cutting template for this is below; I love to use it for my inside layer especially.
