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

April 22, 2021

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.

The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle.
Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off). I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set
Pale Papaya ink and card stock
Pale Papaya & White ribbon
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!!

Morning Star

May 26, 2020
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.

Save

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

Spring Punched Banner; cute home decor piece!

May 25, 2020

To all of our Veterans; thank you for your service! I wish you all a safe and happy Memorial Day!

I haven't shared this project yet; it was the bonus project many of my gals received in their Spring Retreat package. It's made with the Pleased as Punch designer paper; it was free during Sale-a-Bration earlier this year.

Save

To create the banners I first cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" long X 3 1/2" wide. Then I made a mark at the center of the short end and cut from that mark to the opposite corner. Then I had my template!

I added lots and lots of punched pieces! I used the Umbrella punch, the Tulips punch, Daisy, Leaf, Butterfly Duo, the Small Bloom punch and the Heart Punch pack. A few of the banners are textured too. It would be fun to hang this in your craft room or on a window .
