Showing posts with label In Color. Show all posts

Hi there! Welcome to my blog, Jess B Creative "Card"-iology! Today I'm participating in a Blog Hop with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as part of my friend Kylie Bertucci's Demonstrator Training Group. We've joined together to inspire you with our creative designs and I hope you'll enjoy them!

I decided to do some #simplestamping to showcase Stampin' Up!'s retiring 2017-2019 In Colors. I'm going to miss them all, but especially Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist! Stampin' Up! has challenged its Demonstrators to get back to the basics and create with just stamps, ink, and paper. Surprisingly, such simple cards can be a real challenge to create for someone like myself who likes to use a lot of pretty papers and ribbon! These note cards all use the Very Vintage hostess stamp set (also retiring), and each features a different In Color.

First up is my little bee card in Fresh Fig. I love the way this one turned out!

Second is the floral vine note card in Lemon Lime Twist.

Third we have a "For You" note card in Tranquil Tide.

Fourth is the floral bouquet note card in Berry Burst.

And last, but not least, is a sweet Doily note card in Powder Pink.

Which retiring In Color is your favorite? Be sure to stock up on Ink Refills for you ink pads as well as extra cardstock so you can continue to create with your favorite colors even after they're retired!

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog and will continue on to check out the amazing projects created by the other Blog Hop participants!

I feel so honored to be featured as the Crazy Crafter’s Blog Hop special guest! Many thanks to my Australian friend Kylie Bertucci and her team of Crazy Crafter's for inviting me to participate! I’ve really enjoyed looking back through the projects I’ve made over the years to pick one to CASE (copy and selectively edit) and I hope they have too.

I've chosen to CASE one of my most favorite cards ever and have attempted to re-create it using current Stampin' Up! products.

My blog post about the original card made back in 2015 can be found here.

I used the flower image from the Beautiful Day stamp set, stamped it multiple times on Shimmery White cardstock using the new Stampin' Up! In Color ink pads, and watercolored the leaves and petals with my Aquapainter.

Here is my finished card!

After stamping the image in each of the 5 new colors I cut them each apart with my Paper Snips and then arranged them on the card-font using Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere them.

And this photo shows a close up view of the layers of different colored petals. You can see a bit of the sparkle from the Shimmer Paper peeking through. I used one of the new Tinted Faceted Buttons in Grapefruit Grove and a few rhinestones to give it the finishing touch.
