Morning Star


Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking.  It's amazing!  

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it.  I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.  

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos.  Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Here are the measurements and supplies:

  • Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
  • Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
  • Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots 

Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue: 

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here.  This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock.  It was on the Last Chance list seen here.  I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:

  • Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
  • White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
  • White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
  • Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
  • Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones

  • How to use the Sophisticated Sled bundle with free project sheet


    We made this pretty card at my December card clubs.  It features the Sophisticated Sled bundle from our Online Exclusives line. 

    I chose White with Boho Blue as my color combination.  The sled is die-cut from the Country Woods DSP. I also used the Painted Trees embossing folder seen here.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the trees. 

    I used stamps from the bundle for the greetings & snowflakes. 

    Before I played with the dies I thought they would be difficult to assemble.  But they're a breeze!  I hope you watch the video below for my tips. The skates are genius!  The laces slip into a slit in the skate die-cut for easy assembly.  

    See this gorgeous bundle here. 

    Here's the free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it. Download Sophisticated Sled Dec 24

    Below is the video tutorial for this project.  Plus check out the fun fold card using upcoming products too!

  • The Color Coach is back!


    If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help.  It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations. 

    The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

    One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

    It's $12.50 and can be seen here. 

    For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well?  They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully! 

    Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination.  SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog. 

    Have a great weekend!

  • Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite


    Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.  

    First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

    The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom.  She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers.  Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. 

    Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

    She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open.  Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

    Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark.  the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4".  The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog. 

    Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison. 

    Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here.  Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter. 

    See this suite here online.
