More Magnificent Magnolia Mood Cards

 Hello stamping friends. While you are reading this I will be having a wonderful time at the Stampin' Up! Onstage event where I will be catching up with my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators. Just another of the amazing pluses to joining the Stampin' Up! family.

To make these two cards I have used the Magnolia Mood Bundle which is one of our new Online Exclusives.

For the first one I cut the main die from Water Colour paper and coloured with a Water Painter. The magnolia is Berry Burst and the leaves are Old Olive.

I stamped the magnolia image on the Basic Gray background in Basic Gray ink. The background piece was then embossed with one of the Basics 3D embossing Folders that is another of the Online Exclusives. For an extra bit of texture I splattered some White Craft Ink with a Water Painter.

I used some Parakeet Party and white twine around the middle of the card before it was attached to the Basic White card base. The second mat is Berry Burst card stock.

For the second card I cut the main magnolia die from Basic White card stock. This time I used my Blending Brushes to add colour to the die cut piece. The flower is coloured with Berry Burst and Daffodil Delight and the leaves are Old Olive.

The very sparkly Happy Birthday is cut from the Online Exclusives Berry Burst, Old Olive and White Glimmer Paper, using the Wanted To Say Dies. And as with the first card I used the Basic 3D 3 pack Embossing Folders.


The card base is Berry Burst, with a Basic Gray card front. 

All of these products are available from Stampin' Up!. Please contact me with any questions.

Happy stamping,

Rachel

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 44 - Real Red Rainbow

 


Hello stamping friends, welcome to week 44 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the Fabulous Stampin' Up ! colours in alphabetical order. This week it's time for some Real Red inspiration.

I got the idea to do a rainbow paint smear of flowers when I saw the cute little paint brush in the Trusty Tools Bundle. 


I cut lots of flowers from Real Red, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight card stock from the Sentimental Park Dies and the Paper Florist Dies. I cut the leaves from Garden Green using the Timeless Arrangements Dies.

So that I could get a nice even smear shape I cut a mask using one of the Basic Borders Dies. I adhered this to the Soft Sea Foam card base with a small amount of Washi Tape.


I arranged the flowers and leaves in colour order and then adhered them with Multipurpose Glue and Glue Dots.


In some of the larger flowers I placed some retired Pearls and Opal Rounds. The greeting from the Throughout The Year stamp set was stamped in Basic White card stock and was cut out with a Deckled Rectangle Die.


The paintbrush was coloured with my Blends Markers.

I love how this card turned out, although in hindsight I think I would have done a bit more to the background piece, maybe embossing or background stamping.

All of the products used to make this card are available from my online store.

Now it's time for the next stop in our blog hop. Please continue around the blog hop for lots of amazing Real Red inspiration. Next up is Andrea Sargent.

Colour Creations Blog Hop week 43 Pumpkin Pie Stippled Roses

 



Hello stamping friends, it’s time for week 43 of the Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team. Every week we have been featuring one of the wonderful Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order and this week we are up to Pumpkin Pie, a lovely orange colour in our Regals colour family.
For tonight’s card I used the Stippled Roses stamp set from the Jan to April Mini Catalogue.


I stamped the main rose image in Basic Grey and coloured it with my Blends Markers. The colours I used were Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.


The gorgeous DSP I used for the background is from the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty DSP, from the Jan to April mini catalogue. Along the right side of the card I put a strip of one of the other DSP from the same pack.

I added some leaf sprigs in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow card stock.

The greeting is from the Throughout The Year stamp set. I love this greeting and many of the others from this set, it’s a very versatile set.
All of the products used to make this card are from Stampin' Up! and are available from my online Stampin' Up! store.


Now it's time see what amazing project my stamping friend Kate Morgan has to share with us.
