Peach Pie & More

Posted on by

Today is the final day of my sharing monochromatic cards using the 5 In Colors for 2024. Each of these colors is earning a place in my heart with their clear, clean colors that have a subtle feel but are bold at the same time.

Check out these two cards using this fun color.

This first card uses blocks of our 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to create a diamond shape for the sentiment found in the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). A little bit of Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) has been tied into a simple know and adds a nice touch below the sentiment. I think you’ll enjoy this soft ribbon that ties so well for projects like this.

And how about this card using the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (161290) and simple stamping?

Once again the Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) has been used to add a bit of texture and draw your eye to the sentiment. The fun little 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) are something you’ll definitely be wanting to add to your order. They add a lovely bit of shimmer to all kinds of projects and come in all 5 of our 2024-2026 In Colors!

And finally my weekly tutorial – this card uses the Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock to create this lovely card.

I’ve used the same Sketch that we used for our OnStage After Hours in Houston for this card and simply changed it up. You can click HERE or on the sketch to see more about that card and get the PDF to add to your collection!

Here is my Video Tutorial that I did for you showing you how I created this card using a simple water color technique using our Water Painters (126185).

And of course a PDF Tutorial that includes measurements, supply list and the YouTube link so you’re ready to create when you want to!

Loving the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579)? This set is filled with lovely images

and wonderful all occasion sentiments and I knew I’d enjoy creating with it as soon as I saw it and stamped with it at our OnStage After Hours event in Houston.

Today I’m sharing the 3rd card we did for our Make n Takes during that event.

This event was a lot of fun and was our first chance to play with the new 2024 In Colors. This card uses a fun way to add texture to your project, water color!

Can you see it? Beneath the stamped panel there is a layer that has been given a simple wash of Pecan Pie. So simple but makes a big impact. Check out my video and pdf tutorial and try it yourself!

Another OnStage After Hours Spotlight on Nature Card & More

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share another fun project that we got to do during the After Hours event in Houston for one of our Make n Takes.

This card uses a fun water color technique using our NEW color Basic Beige. Stamping the image using the Basic Beige allows the water coloring to look almost line free but still gives subtle detail. A pretty fun process I thought.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can make one too.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage After Hours Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses a favorite from the 2024 Annual Catalog, the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

This set has some lovely images and all occasions sentiments and a versatile set of dies that coordinate with it.

We made this card during our After Hours event in Houston and Stampin’ Up! gave us a sketch that I’ve changed up a little bit and made my own for my Sketch Tool Ring I shared with you earlier. Make sure to scroll down since I’ll share it with you today too.

This will be the first of the 3 cards we made during the After Hours Event. But today here is the card we made using 2 of our NEW In Colors Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. While they might look similar when apart, you can definitely tell the difference when layered together. I fell in love with the Summer Splash as soon as I saw it and wasn’t real sure about the Shy Shamrock, but am finding I really like using it in my stamping too.

Here is a quick video on how I put this make n take together for you along with the PDF with the supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions.

And of course here is my Card Sketch #27

On a personal note:

You may have noticed I didn’t post every day this week. I had some unexpected appointments that took a lot of time, so I wasn’t able to share like I wanted to. I’ll be having a procedure done next week, and may not be sharing quite as much as I normally do, but I have some things set up that I think you’ll enjoy.

Of course, I’m happy to help and I will be available, but might not be able to respond as quickly as normal.

Enjoy!
