Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

• Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

  February 3, 2022

  ---

  Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

  We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

  Save

  I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

  Save

  It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

  My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

  The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here.

  On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

  Save

  The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

  Save

  See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

  February 2, 2022

  ---

  I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

  This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

  Save

  I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

  Save

  The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

  How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

  You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

  Save

  Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

  ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

  Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

  Save

  This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

  Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

  Save

  The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.
