#TGIFC415 Color Challenge

Did you know that there is a fun blog called TGIF Challenges? Each week they present a new challenge idea that anyone can participate in. I love challenges because they are often the push I need to be a little different than my norm or to just get me stamping. As I have been working to get through all of my retiring stamp set to create projects to share I thought that this challenge would be an excellent way to see what I could create using a retiring stamp set as well as the challenge. This week the challenge was for a color combo – Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay. You can check out their samples here #TGIFC415 Color Challenge.

I also wanted to try something a little different with this card. I have always enjoyed the paper piecing technique and decided rather than doing it as the front of the card I would use it to create the card base and do a little something different for the card opening. I’ve created this quick video for you to show how easy it is to create this background and card.

I actually created this card using the hello beautiful stamp set for the challenge first, but I liked the sailboat card better so I featured it first in the blog. The inspiration for my card was from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog – pg 50 where the stamp set was highlighted. I keep all my old catalogs as they are a great source of inspiration for color combos, layouts or just to spark the imagination. Do you keep your catalogs? Did you know a new catalog will be coming out in May? Be sure to contact me if you would like to receive your own catalog.

Amazing Silhouettes Stamp Set

I was given this stamp set at a Stampin’ Up! event and I will be honest I wasn’t really sure what to do with it. Because it had three different images I challenged myself to create a different card using each image. I also wanted incorporate other retiring product and realized it was the perfect opportunity to highlight background stamps, embossing folders, dies and word stamps. I even used one of our online exclusive embossing folders. Recently Stampin’ Up! introduced new products that are only found online. Be sure to check them out on my website when you are ordering your favorite retired products. I’d love to hear your thoughts on these projects.

Treasured Kindness Stamp Set

I’ve had this stamp set for a while and haven’t had a chance to use it. I love the look of it and how all the pieces work together. For this card I wanted the image to be the main focus of the card so I decided on a Z-fold card that allows the message to be show when the card is both closed and opened.

Because this is a Z-fold card I wanted to share a few additional images so you can see how it looks when it’s open as well as a close up on the main image. One of the tips I’ve found for two-step stamping such as this set is to stamp the darker image first. I’ve found it’s easier to see where to place the lighter image over the darker image than visa versa.

Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set

It’s funny because I actually created this card two years ago for a new catalog swap when the now retiring 2021-2023 In-colors where new. I wanted a card that showcased all the new in-colors and the new stamp set. I still love how this card turned out and my have to try this technique with the new colors when they arrive next week.

This card is relatively simple to create the trick is to attach your individual pieces and then stamp your image. The image is stamped in white craft in and embossed with white embossing powder. Once again this set along with in-colors are retiring. Remember to place your orders ASAP before your favorites are gone for good. Remember the hostess code is listed to the right.

Butterfly Brilliance

After creating my video for my recent post on duel embossing techniques I wanted to try using the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set that I mentioned my friend Alisa Tilsner used. I wanted the colors to be brighter those so I decided on more of a rainbow look. The card on the right uses the same wet embossing technique I showed how to use in the video.

The card on the left however is slightly different as the set doesn’t have an embossing folder but instead has a matching set of dies. The set has a set of dies that will cut out all the stamped images and it also has lined butterflies. For this project I used the blending brushes the same way to create the background and then used both dies to cut out the butterflies and place them over the background. I will be honest I love how this turned out.

I created this before I found out about the retiring list, however once I found the set and dies were retiring I new I need to share it right away. I’ve included a list of the retiring items so you purchase them before it’s to late.

Dual Embossing Techniques

Today I wanted to share a video where I show you how to create a similar card using two different types of embossing techniques. I’ve created the cards using a wet embossing technique called emboss resist and a dry embossing technique where the ink is applied to the embossing folder. What is cool about this technique is that I used the same process on both cards to get a different yet similar look. Which look is your favorite.
