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"

  • Fancy Easel Fold card with the Arrange a Wreath bundle


    We made this fancy fold card at October card clubs. The Easel really shows off the wreath from the Arrange a Wreath bundle in the Annual catalog. You can see it in the video below.

  • Curvy Christmas; paired with the Curvy Dies


    I've always loved the look of curves and swirls so these new Curvy Celebrations products are right up my alley.  I've made so many projects I could share one each day for weeks! 

    Here's one of my favorites.

    See what I mean?  The curves make this project 'stand out' special.

    My colors are Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and White.  The designer paper is from the new Classic Christmas 6 X 6" pack seen here.  This is only available through January 4th or while supplies last.  

    The same is true for the Curvy Christmas stamp set seen here.  It will not be in the upcoming catalog so get it now while you can. 

    As you can see I cut two pieces of Navy card stock using the dotted curved die.  I heat embossed the greeting and the long stars image.  I die-cut two White sprigs from the same Curvy Dies and added them with a double Linen Thread bow.  

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products! 

    I chose to get it all at once with the entire Curvy Celebrations bundle seen here.  

    Here are some sneak peaks of the projects in the free PDF: 

    Above are ideas featuring the Quite Curvy set and below are projects with the Curvy Christmas set.

  • Curvy Celebration ideas!


    Here are a few more projects I made with the Curvy Celebrations products. 

    Above is a super simple card made by cutting just one piece of Cinnamon Cider card stock in half with one of the Curvy dies.  Separate them on the Vanilla card and add a curvy greeting.  Finish with a few punched leaves from the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle. 

    On this card I added the White curvy die-cut layer to a piece of Artistry Blooms designer paper and finished it with a few Blossom punches and Artistry Blooms sequins.  Easy!

    The card above features my strips technique I shared here in this video.  So fun and a great way to use scraps of Designer Paper! 

    Here's another great reason to get any of these items now; everyone who places an online order (or orders any of the Curvy Celebrations items) will receive a free 22 project PDF full of ideas for their new products!
