Feathery Friends card trick

Guess what?

I made another video!  Really I did.  I know they aren’t great but I’m working on it.  I’m a slow talker so hopefully that helps you follow along.  Today I have a video sharing a little trick that I did on this card that uses the Feathery Friends Hostess stamp set from the new catalog.

feathery-friend-card

I created this card for a swap I was in and then also taught my Stamper’s Club how to make it.  I used my Stampin’ Write Markers for coloring the flower including most of the new In-Colors – Powder Pink, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist.

The trick comes in how I added the Black Baker’s Twine. So watch the video so you can see how I did that.

I hope you like this little card as much as I do.  And you can earn the stamp set free when you host a party or place an order that qualifies for Stampin’ Rewards.

One more Pick a Pattern card

I have another card for you using some of the same supplies as the last one – the Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper and the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

pick-a-pattern-circles

This card is the same layout as an earlier graduation card that I posted.  For this one I pulled out all the patterns with Basic Black and Crushed Curry in them.  I used my 1″ Circle punch for all the circles and randomly layered them on my Whisper White card stock.  I trimmed any that hung over the edge and used those little trimmed pieces to fill in any spots that needed it along the edges.

Create a banner and stamp the greeting.  I wound some Basic Black Metallic Thread around my banner before attaching to the front of the card.  This is a quick and easy card that you can create with any Designer Series Paper and coordinating colors of card stock.

Did you know that many Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators use the acronym DSP when they are talking about Designer Series Paper.  That’s what Stampin’ Up! calls their patterned paper and DSP is easier to say and faster to write! You won’t be disappointed when you look through this new catalog at the paper – there are so many new beautiful papers in it.

Pick a Pattern Birthday

One of my favorite new dies in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog is the Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies.  It comes bundled with the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.  Besides the new In-Colors that I have been showing you since the catalog started this die is my most used item so far.  Here is another card I made – actually I made this one first and then the one using the In-Colors which is the exact same layout.

HB-pick-pattern

This one uses a different Designer Paper which is where the color combination came from.  I think these colors are more suited to a guy or a pre-teen/teen aged birthday.  This paper is the Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper.  It has lot of fun hand-drawn patterns and detailed images and some bright colors. I used the Crushed Curry pattern with the fun circles and paired it with Sahara Sand and Basic Black.

It’s a quick and easy card design – just alter your designer paper piece and choose coordinating colors for the card stock and twine.  You could actually make this card with no stamping at all if you just use the die.  I added the little “belated” stamp from Happy Birthday Gorgeous set.

Thanks for visiting today.  I have my oldest son in town from Seattle for a few days and the middle one is here too.  We have some family time schedule for this weekend.  I hope you all do the same.

And Finally Lemon Lime Twist

And finally the last color in the 2017-2019 In-Color Collection is Lemon Lime Twist!

Annual17_p004a

 

All 5 of these new In-Colors come in your basics – Card Stock, Ink, Refills, and Stampin’ Write Markers.  Plus the added embellishments – like ribbon, the Itty Bitty Bows, and the Designer Paper.

Now some more about Lemon Lime Twist:

lemon-lime-twist

 

Lemon Lime Twist is our new party color!  It’s fun, a bit loud and kind of neon.  We don’t really have anything like it in our existing colors.  You might not be so sure about it in the beginning but I bet you will love it once you have used it.

Here is a card I made – it really pops against the black:

Happy Birthday Thinlits, Happy Birthday Gorgeous, Lemon Lime Twist. Card by Monika Davis

 

I created this card layout for a swap I was in but originally made it with some different designer paper and colors.  I needed a card that showcased one of the new In-Colors and I decided to use the same layout and switch out the colors.  I really love the pop of the Lemon Lime Twist against the Black.

I’ve also used a couple of other new products – the Happy Birthday Thinlits die and the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.  You can even order these two as a bundle and save 10%!

Here is a peek at this project in all 5 of the In Colors.

Introducing Tranquil Tide

The next color I’m introducing in the 2017-2019 In-Color Collection is Tranquil Tide.

 

in-colors-5

I meant to showcase this photo with the Itty Bitty Bows with the Fresh Fig color that used these bows but I got my photos all mixed up.  So even though today’s card doesn’t use these little bows I wanted to show them to you.  They are pre-tied and self-adhesive and will be fun and easy to add to your projects.

Now some more about Tranquil Tide:

 

tranquil-tide

Tranquil Tide is an interesting blue green color and seems to take on a slightly different look depending on the other colors around it.  It will be interesting to use it with different combinations of colors.   It’s also featured in one of the little frames.  The idea was from a card I saw online.  I love how the design showcases each of the new In-Colors.

Here is a card I made:

 

Tranquil Tide In-color, Stampin' Up!, Eastern Medallions, Happy Birthday Gorgeous

This card might look familiar to you.  I took the idea from the catalog and just made a few changes.  I’ve used Tranquil Tide card stock, one of the Tranquil Tide prints from the Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Stack. And the Tranquil Tide Finely Woven ribbon – it’s really soft.

I’ve also used a couple of other new products – the Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies and the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.

Here is a peek at this project in all 5 of the In Colors.

Introducing Powder Pink

And the next color in the 2017-2019 In-Color Collection is Powder Pink.

in-colors4

One of the new items that comes in all the new In-Colors is this yummy ribbon.  It is 1/2″ wide Finely Woven Ribbon.  It is soft and flowing.  So nice to use on projects.

Here is more about Powder Pink:

powder-pink

Powder Pink is very soft and subtle.  In this framed project you can see the card stock and ink plus the ribbon and some designer series paper.  There is also some watercoloring on the background and inside the embossed images.

Here is a card I made:

PP---floral-boutique

This card uses the Powder Pink cardstock and ink.  One of the Powder Pink prints from the Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Stack and the coordinating Floral Phrases stamp set.  Remember the Night of Navy and White paper we had in the last catalog – this paper stack has some of those same designs just in new colors.

Here is a peek at this project in all 5 of the In Colors.
