Video: June Online Class Featuring Waterfront Stamp Set Week 4

Today is the last Thursday of the month, which means the last online class featuring this month's stamp set--Waterfront.  Next week begins a new month and a brand new stamp set--Pocketful of Sunshine.  Today was also the day we made a Christmas card with the featured stamp set of the month.  I love the chalkboard look of the Whisper White Ink on a Basic Black background.  This looks like such a peaceful, snowy scene to me.

Showcasing the 2018-2020 In Colors

Each year, Stampin' Up! releases five NEW In Colors that will be available for the next two years. The colors are so bright this year and make me smile every time I see them.  I made a project using the 2018-2020 In Colors.  Each card features the card stock, ink, and DSP in one of the colors.  And . . . HERE THEY ARE


Lovely Lipstick
Grapefruit Grove
Pineapple Punch





Call Me Clover
Blueberry Bushel
Which is your favorite?  I have to say I think I like them all, but if I determine a favorite based on which I use the most, I'll have to go with Blueberry Bushel.

I was inspired by the Global Design Project Challenge 144 and the Paper Players Sketch Challenge 399. Make sure you head on over to the challenges to see the inspiration cards by the design team and other creative entries. For the Global Design Project Challenge, I was inspired by the sketch, but I was also inspired by the color choice and the use of Grapefruit Grove.  I arranged the elements on that card and one other to match the sketch of Charlet's card. Can you tell which one?  The other three colors were meant to follow the sketch from PP399

Simple Rainbow Sentiments

I had such a good time creating colorful rainbow images or CTS 277, I couldn't stop with just one.  The two type of cards I need most often are thank yous and birthday cards.  So, I decided to make one of each using the same sketch and technique.  Both used the markering technique to color the stamp with multiple colors before stamping the image.  Which is your favorite?

Flowers at my Window

I would love to look out my window and see gorgeous flowers looking back at me.  Since that is not my reality, I will make myself that reality on this card.  I am looking out my window at gorgeous flowers from the Garden Impression DSP and have a matching beautiful flower sitting on my window frame.  This is also a shaker window, so instead of watching raindrops fall down my window, I can shake it to see sprinkles floating in springtime colors.  I like to imagine they are flower petals floating on the breeze.  


I love that the Artisan Pearls coordinate with this color scheme as well and add just a pop of elegance.

Best Fishes

The colors for this week's CAS Challenge really make me think of water.  I've spent time thinking about the best way to represent that inspiration with this card.  The Calypso Coral reminded me of fish I see in jars or fishbowls or even plastic bags at county fairs during the summer, so I instantly wanted to use the fish from the Everyday Jars stamp set.


I've often wondered what exactly makes a card masculine or feminine???  I think I've come to the determination that if I would send a card to a man or boy that makes it masculine and if it's for a girl or woman, it is a feminine card.  I will probably send this card to a male, so that makes it a masculine card, right?

Neutral Details

Stampin' Up!'s 2018-2019 Annual Catalog also involved a Color Reboot.  There are currently four color families with 10 colors each, 2 In Color families with 5 colors each, and a Basics Color Family which includes Basic Black, Whisper White, and Very Vanilla.  Colour Inkspiration challenges are responding to this color reboot.  Each month one of the color families will be featured.  This month features the Neutral Color Family.  The colors I chose for my entry are Merry Merlot, and Soft Suede.


 I don't know if you can see it in the photograph, but this is a birthday card.  I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Detailed with Love stamp set on the Merry Merlot layer of this card.  The Detailed with Love stamp set has such interesting decorative stamps and I used some to create the detail on the inside of the card.

The theme for Global Design Project 143 allows for such amazing versatility of projects.  The product I am absolutely loving out of the annual catalog right now is the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper so I knew I had to add some on this card.  I love sharing my cards and recognizing birthdays, so I added a birthday sentiment to this card.

I entered this card in the Colour Inspiration Challenge 35 , Inspire.Create Challenge 020, and Global Design Project 143.  Make sure you head over to the challenges to see the demonstration cards by the design team and other creative entries.

Video: June Online Class Featuring Waterfront Stamp Set Week 3

I think the Waterfront stamp set is possibly my favorite stamp set right now (it could change tomorrow, who knows?)  I love the versatility and for this class alone, I've made landscape cards, a flag, and next week a Christmas card.  I love looking at a photo a being able to create an artistic interpretation with this stamp set.  It's so fun to play with and see what different cards end up on my desk.



This card also uses a couple of new colors: Gray Granite and Grapefruit Grove.  The sky was created using a sponge dauber with Grapefruit Grove and carried to the inside of the card.
To see the online class watch the video below:

Celebrate the Red, White, and Blue

It's that time of year to celebrate freedom, patriotism, and America.  This time of year always makes me think of stars & stripes and red, white, & blue.   For my entry into the SUOC 202: Patriotism, I decided to create a July 4 party scene.  I don't know if you can tell in the photo, but the red banner does say July 4 in Whisper White.


The stars even carried on into the interior of the card.
