Delicate Dahlias with Poppin’ Pastels technique


This weekend I'm holding a technique class and this is one of the cards we're making.  It features our new Soft Pastels and the Poppin' Pastel technique. 

The stamps are from the Delicate Dahlias set that is currently free with a $100 order.  It's a beautiful 2-step, photopolymer set that's also Dystinktive.  This means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking; a process Stampin' Up! has created. 

The outline images are stamped with Black Memento ink and the inside is colored with our new Soft Pastel chalks seen on page 126 or here in my store. 

Tip: scrape off a bit of the chalk and use the powder. You'll achieve brighter colors.

You need Versamark ink for the solid stamped image. Next you add the chalk to the Versamark stamped image with sponge daubers.  I daubed most of the color on but rubbed it in the center of the flower for a darker hue. The leaves are fussy cut and added separately. 

Measurements:

  • Poppy Parade 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Beautifully Penned DSP seen here (free now during Sale-a-Bration) 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White 3 " X 3 1/2"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 
  • Black 3 1/4" X 3 3/4"

  • Lasting Joy card swaps


    Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.  

    This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.  

    The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue.  I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back. 

    Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set.  Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

    This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.  

    Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge.  Here's a link to these dies.

  • Masterfully Made suite samples; it’s extremely unique!


    The Masterfully Made suite is so different and unique; you'll be surprised at these projects shared by Stampin' Up!

    This colorful paper including the flowers is all the designer paper; there is nothing raised or popped up here except the tags.  The die-cuts in the background are from the bundle seen here. 

      

    This next card shows off the Masterfully Made designer paper wonderfully.  It looks like it's many strips of torn paper.  

    It's not!  Look at this gorgeous designer paper below.  See the sheet, second from the upper right?  That's what they used!  
    They did stamp on it with one of the images in the bundle; heat embossing in White.  

    This gorgeous designer paper is discounted in June; instead of $12.50 it's $10.62.  See it here

    This last card shows off the stamps, designer paper and the neat notebook edge die-cut.  

    What do you think?  Is this suite your style?

  • Fabulous Gone Fishing bundle swap cards


    Father's Day is coming up Sunday and the Gone Fishing bundle is perfect for the occasion.  

    I received two swap cards on the cruise and thought you'd like to see them.  First is my friend Susie Wood's card.  Her style is similar to mine and we often share cards with each other. My husband and I spent time with her and her husband Deke on the cruise; not enough but we both treasure our friendship so much! Check out her fabulous blog here.  She is super creative and a master at fun folds. 

    Her colors are Night of Navy with Vanilla and Boho Blue. The tag is made with our Very Best Trio punch seen here. 

    Next is a card I received from Janet Holmes. The curvy border die-cut shows off wonderfully here.  

    Check out the Gone Fishing bundle here.  

    I'll have lots more to share with this bundle soon!
