Color & Contour | Color Refresh Combo

Color & Contour | New Color Creation

Hello my stamping friends.

So, Stampin’ Up! has put us through another color refresh with the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. My demo team did a color swap so we would have lots of ideas to share with all of you.  This is my card that features the Color & Contour stamp set.  It also features the recent Fresh Freesia color that moved from an In-Color to our regular color collection. I paired it with Berry Burst which is a returning favorite from a few years past.  Then I wanted just a hint of Lemon Lime, so you see it peeking out behind my die-cut flower.

 

Steps to the project:

  1. The cardbase was Berry Burst.

  2. The front panel is die-cut on both sides with the Scalloped Contours Dies, so the final Fresh Freesia panel is about 3 ½ inches wide by 5 ½ inches long.

  3. I stamped with Versamark to give the Fresh Freesia panel a background print, I used the full flower images to achieve this.

  4. Then I stamped the outline flower image on the stem with Memento and then die-cut with the coordinating die.  Then the flower was colored with the Fresh Freesia Blend markers.

  5. I also cut the same flower image out of Lemon Lime cardstock and backed the die-cut flower with it to create a colorful shadow.

  6. Now notice that I stamped the texture stamp around where I was going to place the die-cut flower. I stamped it with Memento but tried to keep it isolated near the position of the flower.

  7. I added a ½ inch Berry Burst ribbon for accent along the bottom.

  8. Next I die-cut the label from the coordinating dies and stamped my greeting with the Berry Burst ink.

Cheerful Daisies - Die-cut Dry Emboss Technique

Cheerful Daisy Dies - Dry Emboss Technique

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello my stamping friends.

Today is another Stamping With Friends Blog Hop. Welcome and I think you will enjoy today’s theme of crafting with dies to showcase dry embossing techniques.  I have this project that features the Cheerful Daisy Bundle. I also used a new color, Bubble Bath, for my color element.

Using die-cuts to create a faux dry-embossed image can be a lot of fun.  These Cheerful Daisy Dies were really fun to craft with.  They have two sets of coordinating and interlocking dies.  This is how I was able to create the daisy with the Bubble Bath centers without having to stack my die-cuts.

I simply cut one set from Basic White, and then another set with the Bubble Bath.  Then just piece them back together like puzzle pieces.  I used mini glue dots on the back of the dies to piece them back together and also to adhere them to the card.

Here are the parts of my project that I started with.

I kept it real simple with just a layer of embossed Basic White, embossed with the Timber embossing folder as a background.  I am using the Bubble Bath cardstock for the card base. Six die-cut flowers and a sentiment tag.

So that’s it! What do you think about this quick and easy project? I only used ink for the sentiment.  Leave me a comment and then follow the next link to see all the other projects being shared today on the blog hop.

Happy Stamping,

Susan
