#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.

Paradise Palms Stamp Set

Today is the last day of Spring break yet for us here in Utah it has been more like winter break with record breaking snow fall. I’m craving a bit of the sun shine so I thought I’d share a beachy project today.

I created this card a while back when I was watching my friend Rose Coleman’s Facebook live. She was demonstrating a card for the Global Design Challenge #384. It was a challenge to case a design layout. I wanted to try the challenge myself and while I didn’t get it posted to be included in the challenge I was happy with the results. I used the blending brushes to created the background and the dies rather than the stamps for the shadows. You might be surprised to find out that the trees are actually cut out of basic grey card stock and then colored using the blending brushes. I wanted them to have different levels of darkness rather than them being all the same.

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.

155358 – Flowers of Friendship Stamp Set (R)
155560 – Scalloped Contours Dies (C)
155615 Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open weave ribbon (R)
155808 – Loose Flower Flourishes (R)
Colors – Polished Pink (R), Pale Papaya (R), Evening Evergreen (R), Soft Succulent (R), Fresh Freesia (C), Basic White

Daisy Garden Stamp Set

Want a quick and easy card?

The Daisy Garden Stamp set is the perfect solution. You can use any combination of colors just simply stamp the background and add it to your card base. Throw in a little ribbon for texture and your choice of greeting and you have a quick and easy that can be made in minutes. Remember this set is retiring so get it before it’s gone.

155079 – Daisy Garden (R)
155052 – Biggest Wishes (C)
Colors – Left Card – Pale Papaya (R), Evening Evergreen (R), Basic White (C)
Colors – Right Card – So Saffron (R), Blackberry Bliss (C), Basic White (C)
155573- 3/8″ Open Wave Ribbon Evening Evergreen (R) – Left Card
159194 – Rose Gold & White 5/8″ Striped Ribbon (R) – Right Card

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying over

Quick Tip – Instead of removing my background stamp from the case I ink it in the case then put my cardstock over the part of the image that I want to stamp. I then place the largest block over the cardstock and use it to apply even pressure when stamping the image.

Just a thought – This same technique could be used with the Butterfly Brilliance set that I showcased yesterday. I would love to see your samples of this technique using any background stamp. Please feel free to share them in the comments or on my Facebook page.
