Crafty Challenge Blog Hop-2021-23 In Colors



Hey Y'all!
The Crafty Collaborators are joining together today to show off the beautiful new 2021-23 In Colors. And here they are:


They coordinate so beautifully together, and it is hard to choose a favorite. Although Polished Pink and Soft Succulent are my top 2 so far.  I can't wait to make Christmas projects with Evening Evergreen! I have a feeling these colors are going to be showing up quite often in the future here on my blog. The project I am sharing today is what I made for  my Catalog Launch attendees.



I used the Ombre Gift Bags that come in all five In Colors, and added a tag made with the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle to feature all of them. (PS I am offering a class featuring this bundle, I have room for 3 more if you would like to join, click HERE for details.


Each tag had the coordinating ribbon color for the bag it was attached to. The bags contained a Catalog Survival Kit complete with
  • Sticky Notes to mark favorite things
  • Wish List to track must-haves
  •  Pen to fill in that wish list
  • Chocolate because everything is better with chocolate
  • Bandage for paper cuts from rapidly flipping the pages
  • Tea Bag to help relax while searching through all of the creative projects


One of my favorite things to do is dress up these Pentel™ ink pens, you have seen this in other projects in the past on my blog. To do this, roll up a 3-1/2 x 3/4 piece of DSP and insert into barrel of pen.
So do you have a favorite new In color? Leave me comment and let me know. Now hop around and see what everyone else is sharing!

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop-It's a Sketch!


Hey Y'all!
I am so happy to be a part of the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop today. 


The theme is a Sketch Challenge, and this was a fun one.  We could be as strict or as interpretive as we wanted.  I didn't deviate too much. 




I also gave myself a personal challenge...to use a stamp set that I had not used yet.  Do y'all do that? You see something in the new catalog you want, you gotta have it, you order it, and a month later you still haven't inked it up?  That was me with the Ice Cream Corner Suite...I just haven't had a chance to play with it.


But I finally got my chance, and it is so much fun! I love love LOVE the font!  And the DSP is awesome, those bright colors just make me happy!


Since I used the birthday sentiment, I decided to add a gift card holder to the inside of the card, which can be easily done to any card.


Simply add a strip of cardstock (mine here measures 1-1/4 x 4, DSP is 1 x 4).  I used Tear and Tape, and only added it to 3 sides, leaving the top open.


Measurements, Tips & Tricks:
  • Card Base: Bermuda Bay 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 4-1/4
  • Bermuda Bay for inside to make gift card holder 1-1/4 x 4, use scalloped die from Stitched Be Mine to make decorative edge, also use on a strip of Bermuda Bay to make decorative edge on front of card, attach to bottom of DSP
  •  Basic White layer and inside layer 4 x 5-1/4
  • DSP 4 x 1-1/4, inside 1 x 4

  • Let the DSP help you choose your color palette.  This seems like a no brainer, but one thing that I would struggle with was choosing colors that went together.  If it looks good together on the DSP, it's going to look good on your card. One of the best things about Stampin' Up! is how you don't have to think about it, the ink matches the paper, matches the ribbon, etc.  
  • Use Stampin' Blends to alter embellishments like ribbon and rhinestones to create any color, here I colored the rhinestones with my Dark Bermuda Bay 
  • "Stamp off" (ink up stamp and stamp first on a scrap of paper, also called Second Generation stamping) to create lighter colors with the same ink pad. I stamped off the ice cream in Bermuda Bay, then stamped full strength Bermuda Bay for the sprinkles, and did the same with Cinnamon Cider for the Cone.
Time to see what everyone else created!
