2020-2022 In Color Multi-Layer Card - Just Jade + Bumblebee

I'm loving the new In Color collection for 2020-2022.   The new colors, shown below, left to right, are:

• Bumblebee
• Cinnamon Cider
• Just Jade
• Magenta Madness
• Misty Moonlight

The Color scheme for this card features:

• Just Jade
• Bumblebee
• Whisper White
• Gold Foil

You can easily create a coordinated, multi--layer card by using multiple dies from the same set, adding in other complimentary layers form other die sets, or simply using multiple layers of card stock.  For this card, the layers are created using coordinating patterned paper (2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper), along with numerous dies and punches:

• Ornate Layers Dies
• Ornate Borders Dies
• Nature's Roots Dies
• Small Bloom Punch
• Banner Triple Punch
• Butterfly Duet Punch

The stamp sets used include:

• Timeless Tulips for greeting on cover
• Peaceful Moments for inside sentiment (not shown in picture)

Adding multiple layers to your cards can add a whole new dimension of elegance and beauty to your projects.  Using Stampin' Up!'s "designed to coordinate" products, like Designer Series Papers, or the Ornate Layers and Ornate Borders dies, makes it really easy!

Custom Wink of Stella Colors

               +          

Is your Wink of Stella all used up????  Not so fast -- don't throw it away!  There is still lots of shimmer left in it -- it just won't come out anymore.  Follow these steps to get more shimmer + create your own custom Wink of Stella - in Stampin' Up! colors of course.

Work on a protected surface and....

         

1. Remove Cap.
2. Carefully remove insert cartridge by lifting up on the black circle and lay it down on paper towels.         
3. Fill barrel about 1/2 way, with rubbing alcohol.
4. Add several drops of your favorite ink.  It will take about 7-8 drops to see the color.  Remember, it will be mixing with the silver shimmer, and the lighter the ink, the more you'll need.
5. Replace cartridge and shake well.  Prime it by using it on scrap paper before applying to your project.

Now it's ready to use.  The example below was done with a Highland Heather Wink of Stella on Whisper White cardstock.

Painted Poppies Card

Painted Poppies Bundle (stamps + dies)

Are you a fan of poppies?  It's been a very popular stamp set from our January-June 2020 Mini catalog.  This card features the Painted Poppies stamp set + Painted Labels dies, on a bright Poppy Parade card base.  The top layer features two smaller poppy images, tucked behind a larger one, with leaves tucked in around them.  The Basic Black layer is cardstock that's been torn around the edges to be the desired size for the layer.  The greeting comes from the Timeless Tulips Stamp Set.  A small strip of cardstock that's been textured with an embossing folder provides the backdrop.  The completed panel is layered on a Poppy Parade card base.

Honey Bee Card

Honey Bee Stamp Set + Detailed Bee Dies + Stitched Shapes Dies

This card utilizes a Basic Black + Whisper White color scheme.  Notice the double white layer.  The honey bee shape was die cut from the top white layer three times (the cutouts were saved for another project!).  Then, the honey bee was stamped into the opening that was die cut, for an inlaid look.  The center bee has a beautiful vellum overlay from the Detailed Bees Dies.  For added texture and gloss, the "honey comb" shape was die cut from Black Foil, providing the back drop for the "sweet friend" sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamp Set.  Coordinating floral stamped images were also stamped on the inside of the card.

Poppy Moments Card #2

Poppy Moments + Perennial Birthday Card

Poppy Moments Dies - one of the most popular from the Jan-Jun 2020 Mini Catalog!

This card uses a technique of inlaying the Basic Black "leftover pieces" from a die cut (image 1) made for a different project, on top of the die cut  (image 2) done in Poppy Parade.  Adding leaves die cut from Vellum cardstock, + Pearls helps to soften the look.

Image 2 (the large outside die was used, not the smaller one in the pic.)

The greeting is stamped from the Perennial Birthday stamp set, layered on Basic Black + Whisper White cardstock.

Poppy Moments Card

Poppy Moments Dies + Peaceful Moments Stamp Set

Poppy Moments Dies - one of the most popular from the Jan-Jun 2020 Mini Catalog!

This card uses two of my favorite colors -- Melon Mambo + Highland Heather, with Layers of Basic Black + Whisper White, and Stampin' Dimensionals.  Added in some Vellum Leaves and Pearls too!

The Basic Black + Whisper White layers have a stitched outline from the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

The Melon Mambo layer has added texture compliments of the Subtle Embossing Folder -- one of my favorites!

And oooh, I love those poppies cut with the Poppy Moments dies in Basic Black and Highland Heather.  The centers have a little shimmer from Wink of Stella.  (---Watch for another blog post to see how I use the "leftover pieces" from the Basic Black layer!)

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Daisy Delight + Butterfly Gala Card

Delightful Daisy + Butterfly Gala Card

It's finally Spring and I can't wait for the flowers to bloom!

This super easy card captures the beauty of Spring with both daisies and butterflies, on a bright card base in Pineapple Punch.  It features stamps from several different sets:

• Daisy Delight  - for the centers of the daisies + leaves
• Butterfly Gala  - for the butterflies, of course!
• Peaceful Moments - for the sentiment

I've punched the daisies from Whisper White card stock, without using the coordinating stamp, to get the solid white effect.  The centers have been stamped with Pineapple Punch ink and then covered with liquid glue, and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter for a little shimmer.  The petals have been gently curled up using a bone folder for added dimension.

The leaves were created using a 2-step stamping technique in Garden Green.

The butterflies also use a 2-step stamping technique in black and Highland Heather inks.  They've been punched out with the Butterfly Duet Punch, and the wings have been gently bent upward.  Adhesive was applied only to the center, before adhering to the card base.

Positive Thoughts Card

Positive Thoughts Stamp Set + By the Dock Stamp Set + Nature's Thoughts Dies

I love the soft green color of Soft Sea Foam.  Here, I've paired it with one of my favorite colors, Highland Heather.  The Positive Thoughts stamp set provides the backdrop of greenery, and the flutter of butterflies.  Two of the butterflies have been cut with the coordinating Nature's Thoughts Dies (only available until 3/31/20), and popped up with a dimensional.  The greeting comes from the By The Dock stamp set.  Embellishments add the finishing touch:  Gingham Gala Sequins + Tri-color Ribbon.

Painted Poppies Sympathy Card

I recently attended a funeral viewing with family members.  It reminded me of my own experiences, and how much the support of those around you can help ease the pain of loss.  Those feelings don't go away overnight.  It takes time (years even).  If you know someone who has experienced loss, please send them a card and let them know you're thinking of them (even if it's been a few months or more).

I made this card using the Painted Poppies bundle.  You can click the "list of products used" link below to see all of the products.  If you'd like to copy this design, you can add the products to your shopping card from this link as well.
