Celebrating In Color Alternative

This week I’m showcasing this month’s Paper Pumpkin – Celebrating in Color.  Here’s my second alternative card.

This is so simple that there’s barely anything to say! The gold foil decorated card base is in the kit and was designed for the Sweet Sorbet card but I’ve already made one of those.

So all I did was add the sentiment “Just for” on top of the you in tuxedo black.

I’ll show all cards that I’ve made with this kit at my Facebook Live at 11am Eastern tomorrow.  Share my live and get added to the raffle.

Celebrating In Color Alternative

This week I’m showcasing this month’s Paper Pumpkin – Celebrating in Color.  Today I’m presenting my first alternative card.

Here I used the card meant for the Orchid Oasis and punched out the circles. I also used a small circle die to grab the paper where it had gold foil. Waste not, want not!

I then added some gold embossed dots using the smallest stamp in the kit onto an Orchid Oasis card base. 

All that was left was construction. The circles were adhered to the card base and the sentiment was popped up with dimensionals. 

I’ll show all cards that I’ve made with this kit at my Facebook Live at 11am Eastern on Sunday.

Celebrating In Color

This week I’m showcasing this month’s Paper Pumpkin – Celebrating in Color.  Today I’m presenting the last two incolors – Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party. Stampin’ Up! included some of the new mat dots in the kit – I LOVE them!

The first card is the Parakeet Party one and I actually did it more or less as instructed. As I did yesterday, I changed the basic grey to the matching incolor for the sentiment. I then added 3 Parakeet Party dots rather than the mixture shown in the instructions. I used a metal ruler to help line up the strips.

The second card is the Tahitian Tide one and the kit makes it very simple. The card base already has all the gold dots and banner so all you need to do is attach the banner and add the sentiment.

Somehow I picked up the other “Happy” sentiment but this works. I’ve put the second half of the sentiment inside the card stamped in Tahitian Tide. I chose to stamp “to celebrate your day” inside the card.

I used wink of Stella on the Happy – it shows up much better in person than in a photograph. Just a little sparkle! I also added three of the matching mat dots.

I’ll show all 5 at my Facebook Live at 11am Eastern on Sunday. I’ll also show some alternatives.

Happiness Abounds

This week’s product of the week is Happiness Abounds and I’ve used three of the new 2022-2024 in colors on this card – Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet.

The images were stamped up the right hand side of the white layer, each image being in one color. I think it looks more harmonious that way – and of course saves on stamp cleaning!

Next the layer was added to a white card base. Then the sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This was then added to the card using dimensionals.

Finally, I used the Orchid Oasis dark blend to color some basic rhinestones which were added to the card.

I’ll be making this card plus two others using the Happiness Abounds set on my Facebook Live on Sunday 11am Eastern. Join me or watch the replay or watch on YouTube. If you share my live, I’ll add you to next week’s raffle.

Crane of Fortune Bundle

This week I’m using the Crane of Fortune bundle. It consists of the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Good Fortune dies (157663, $46.75).

The sentiment from the Crane of Fortune set, was stamped in Magenta Madness on a Whisper White layer. Next the die cut was made right on that same layer. The layer was then attached to a Magenta Madness card base. Once all the pieces had been poked out of the die cut it was put back where it came from.

Finally, using the Magenta Madness dark blend, some basic rhinestones were colored and added to the card.

I really like the way the card base shows through the die cut. Obviously that was the point but it looks really elegant to me.

I’ll be making this card along with 2 others at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EDT. It will also be uploaded to YouTube.
