POSTED FOR YOU BUNDLE on page 81 in Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalog makes lovely all occasion cards for you to send or to give. It is even a possibility for upcoming celebrations like Valentine's Day. I know ~ none of us can think past Friday of the upcoming week ~ are you still feeling 'behind' ~ I am!!!!
I needed a pretty and bright get well card this morning for my friend, Adrienne. This is the card I created for her. I used the stamp set, SO SENTIMENTAL, on page 74 in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. The stamp set coordinates with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies on page 179. I hope it cheered her up ~ just the colors would cheer me up! The colors I used ~ Melon Mambo and Seaside Spray are both in the plaid paper that I used. The combination of colors is one of many in the PLAID TIDINGS 6" x 6" designer series paper (page 57 in the Mini Catalog) ~ this happy paper retires at the end of the month (or, rather January 3), so sad!
You might have overlooked this stamp set, ARRANGE A WREATH, because it is hidden away in the ANNUAL CATALOG ~ on page 127. I recently fell in love with it and used it in my CHRISTMAS CARD CLASS last weekend (to be repeated on Tuesday, December 1, if you are interested ~ I have space for one more stamper!). It is the BEST ~ it's an all year around stamp set ~ Valentine's, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and 'Best Wishes' for any occasion.
The first card is the one we created in class on Saturday afternoon ~ the other is similar with a change of colors. What do you think?
The last one uses an additional die that matches the stamp set. You can find the dies, WREATH BUILDER DIES, on page 173 in the annual catalog. THESE WILL BOTH BE INCLUDED IN THE 24 HOUR SALE ~ ALL DAY TOMORROW!
I know that many of you have this stamp set, GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA, it is a favorite for a good reason ~ wonderful sentiments and beautiful art work. I used it recently in my 2021 CALENDAR CLASSES and, while it was busy in the studio, I thought I would use it. I hadn't used bleach on cardstock for a VERY long time and I wanted to see what the results would be on the in-color, JUST JADE. I embossed the image first and then 'painted' inside the embossed areas with a small brush and bleach. I like the result, what do you think?
I decided to create a second project using the same technique. In addition, this time I changed the color of the ribbons using a sponge and ink from the stamp pad ~ or, a refill ~ sorry I can't remember which. What do you think? If you would like a PROJECT SHEET, let me know!
Stampin' Up!'s video, below, shows how to make these two cards using the QUITE CURVY BUNDLE (1562280)/there is no sound for the video. The designer series paper used is from the PEONY GARDEN DSP on page 149 in the annual catalog. The colors are Basic Gray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Whisper White. Interesting ~ you can add your own colors to the gray designs!
This is a card I made using a new BUNDLE (stamp set and dies saves 10%!) that Stampin' Up! has available from now until January 4 (and, will be featured in the January ~ June Mini Catalog). It is unique because of the curved-edge dies and stamps.
The dies, above, are bundled with the stamp set below ~ Quite Curvy stamp set.
And, a second stamp set is especially for the Christmas holidays ~ Curvy Christmas.
