Get ‘Em Before They’re Gone! 2016-2018 In Colors

Sale-A-Bration Countdown - only 11 days left! #stampcandy

Not only are we nearing the end of Sale-A-Bration, but also the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog goes live June 1! That means 5 new In Colors!  It also means 5 In Colors will retire. The official retiring list won’t be released by Stampin’ Up! until April, but we do know that the 2016-2018 In Colors will not be carrying over. My advice is to get everything you want that comes in, or with, the 2016-2018 In Colors as soon as possible. Once the actual retiring list comes out, things will start selling out very quickly, especially the In Colors. Don’t wait and take the chance of missing out on these amazing colors!

Gather Together & Give Thanks for GDP105

I am in love with the Painted Harvest Suite of products on pages 48-49 of the 2017 Holiday Catalog. The two step images in this stamp set are sooooo easy to do. And the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper (DSP) is gorgeous – it has 10 colors in it so you can use it with lots of different projects. I used some of the products in the suite for today’s card, which I made for this week’s Global Design Project color challenge (GDP105.)

 

Here’s the GDP105 challenge:

Assembled the card:

  • cut one end of a piece of Lemon Lime Twist ribbon and a piece of Basic Black ribbon in a notch using Paper Snips
  • adhered the two pieces of ribbon to the stamped layer with Tear & Tape adhesive (Fast Fuse would work well also) and wrapped the non-notched end around to the back of the layer
  • glued one leaf onto the bottom right, sticking the stem end under the ribbon slightly
  • adhered two leaves using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, making sure the stem ends would be covered by the sentiment
  • adhered sentiment using Stampin’ Dimmensionals
  • top layer glued to Basic Black layer
  • Basic Black layer glued to DSP layer
  • DSP layer glued onto the front of the card base
  • 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued to the inside of the card base

Happy Ornament is Retiring

 

The Happy Ornament wood mount stamp is retiring soon, so get it while you can! I used it to create this card with a palette of cool colors. This is a really quick card to make. There’s only one stamp and the rest is gluing together some layers.

 

 

Here’s what I made:

 

 

Here’s how I did it:

The card base is Island Indigo card stock. There is a piece of Whisper White CS glued to the inside for a handwritten note. On the front is a layer of Mint Macaron Designer Series Paper from the 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack, then a layer of Island Indigo CS.

I inked the stamp with a Mint Macaron ink pad, then used a Sponge Dauber to color in certain areas with Island Indigo ink. I stamped the image on a piece of Whisper White CS, then glued it to the card front.

Winter Wishes for InKing Royalty Blog Hop

 

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s December Blog Hop!  While Stampin’ Up! demonstrators are actively ordering from the 2017 Occasions Catalog and earning products from the 2017 Sale-a-Bration brochure, we are also getting ready for the upcoming holidays.  We are excited to share some fun winter-themed projects with you!  Today’s Winter Wishes Blog Hop is filled with inspiring projects that feature each artist’s take on Winter.  After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

 

Here’s what I made:

I decided to go simple and pretty for today’s project. The Sweet Sugarplum, Soft Sky, and white color palette is soft and wintery. And I love this sentiment from the Suite Seasons stamp set. 

 

 

 

Here’s how I did it:

The card base is Sweet Sugarplum card stock. The next layer up is Soft Sky card stock. On top of that is a piece of Fancy Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Sweet Sugarplum card stock, then I cut it out with a die from the Layering Ovals Framelits. I glued that onto the card front.

Finally I glued on some Soft Sky and Sweet Sugarplum sequins from the Fancy Frost Sequins.

 

Here are the Hop Stops:

ICS Blog Hop: Hang Your Stocking Bundle

 


12711055_10153896754563048_5322321900990997775_o

 

This month the Inspire, Create, & Share Blog Hop is all about white-on-white projects. I love tone-on-tone projects, and white-on-white is my favorite. I also enjoy using different products together, and I used several to create today’s card.

 

Here’s what I made:

My card has three stockings hanging from a mantle covered in pine boughs and pinecones. The sentiment is subtle: each stocking has the word Merry.


ics-white-on-white-b

 

While the details are visible in person, it’s hard to make them show up in a photo. Here’s a darkened photo to help.

ics-white-on-white-darkened-c

 

Here’s how I did it:

The card base is Thick Whisper White card stock. Everything else is the regular Whisper White card stock (CS.)

I used the Christmas Stocking Thinlits to cut the three stockings: back, front, and topper. For the toppers, I first heat embossed the word Merry in white onto CS, then cut them with the die. I glued the pieces together.

The word Merry is from this  stamp in the Hang Your Stocking stamp set:

Here’s a close up of the heat embossed words:

ics-white-on-white-a

 

I cut a 1/4″ x 5″ strip of CS for the mantle top, and a 1/2″ x 4-3/4″ strip of CS for the mantle base. I used Paper Snips to cut an angle at each end of the base. I glued the two pieces together.

I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to cut the pine boughs and the pinecone backs and fronts.

I ran a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of CS through the Big Shot with the Brick Wall embossing folder, and glued it to the card base.

I attached the mantle to the brick wall with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I attached the stockings to the brick wall with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and to the mantle with glue.

I attached the pine boughs with glue, then attached the pinecones with Fast Fuse.
