ICS Blog Hop – Amazing You

Feb 7, 2018 | 34 comments

The Sale-A-Bration continues…with a color challenge! This month’s ICS Blog Hop is all about Sale-A-Bration, plus we’re using specific colors. We could use any of these five colors: Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay, Dapper Denim, Night of Navy, and Island Indigo for our projects. I used all but one (Dapper Denim.) I used the Amazing You stamp set and the coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits Dies – both are available for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration (only through March 31!)

I used a technique whose name I can’t remember to save my life. I glued different colored strips of card stock to a larger piece of CS, then die cut from that, so the die cut words are multicolor. Tell me what you think!

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

Crumb Cake card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
Night of Navy CS cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
Island Indigo CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″
Bermuda Bay CS cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″
Crumb Cake CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 5″
Crumb Cake CS cut to 3-3/4″ x 3″
Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, and Night of Navy CS cut into 1/2″ x 3″ strips, a few of each color
Optional: Whisper White CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside

Stamped with the Amazing You stamp set:

“celebrate” in Crumb Cake ink onto the Crumb Cake CS layer

Die cut using the Celebrate You Thinlits:

two words from the strips of CS (see below)
NOTE: I used the Precision Base Plate on the Big Shot to cut through the layers with the Thinlits Dies.

Assembled the card:

burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
Night of Navy CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
Island Indigo CS layer glued onto the Night of Navy CS layer
Bermuda Bay CS layer glued onto the Island Indigo CS layer
stamped Crumb Cake CS layer glued onto the Bermuda Bay CS layer
1/2″ strips of CS glued onto the 3-3/4″ x 3″ Crumb Cake CS piece (this is what I die cut the words from above)
die cut words glued onto the stamped Crumb Cake CS layer
Optional: Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base

What a cool idea to piece the colors and then die cut them out. I might need to try that.

Thank you, Cynthia! I haven’t seen this technique in a long time. I just happened to remember this one. It seems techniques always come in cycles.
