STAMPIN' UP! DELIGHTFUL WISHES CARDS IN MOODY MAUVE

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Moody Mauve, one of the 2023-2025 In Colors in Stampin' Up!'s colour range.

I found this colour combination on Helen Read's blog, and decided to create a couple of cards with it and the new Delightful Wishes bundle.

CARD #1:

I love the sentiment options in the Delightful Wishes bundle.  I stamped "wishing" in Moody Mauve ink on Basic White card, and cut it out using one of the dies.  The rest of the sentiment was stamped in Pebbled Path ink, on Basic White card, and cut out with the sentiment label die from the bundle.

The Gray Granite paper in the background of this card is from the Lily Pond Lane DSP pack.  Using Gray Granite ink, I repeatedly stamped some fine script - a stamp from Elements of Text.  I sponged the edges of this paper with Gray Granite ink before adhering it to a Pebbled Path card layer.

The Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots are Gray Granite, despite looking a bit brown in this photo.

A few stamps from Delightful Wishes were used to create the floral spray.  On Basic White card, I first stamped the Moody Mauve shadow detail of the flowers.  Bubble Bath ink was used to overstamp the flowers, and Pebbled Path ink for the stems.  Lastly, I added leaves using Gray Granite ink.

I cut out the focal piece with a Grow With Love Die.  A second die-cut piece, in Moody Mauve, was cut in half vertically and each piece added to a side to provide a bit of colour between the floral label and the Moody Mauve Designer Series Paper behind it.

The embellishments added to this piece are Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls, coloured with my Dark Moody Mauve Stampin' Blends Marker, and a bow made from Moody Mauve Jute Trim.

CARD #2:

The Gray Granite Designer Series Paper in the background is another piece from the Lily Pond Lane DSP pack.  I sponged the edges with Gray Granite ink before matting it on a panel of Gray Granite card.

I stamped the sentiment, from Unbounded Love, in Versamark ink on a strip of Moody Mauve card.  White embossing powder was sprinkled over the words, and melted with a heat gun.

For this card, I coloured Antique Pearls with my Dark Moody Mauve Stampin' Blends Marker.  The bow is my new favourite White Woven Ribbon.

The floral spray was created in the same way as on my first card.  The Moody Mauve DSP behind the floral label is another pattern from the 2023-2025 In Color 6"x6" Designer Series Paper pack.

STAMPIN' UP! MIXED FLORALS SYMPATHY CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

 

Our first Colour Creations blog hop of the year is all about Misty Moonlight.  I love this dark denim blue, that I have paired with Boho Blue for my first card of 2025.

My card features the new Mixed Florals stamp set, an Online Exclusive product that was just released yesterday.  Read on, to find out how I created the background.

I started off by stamping the large floral images four times across a piece of Basic White card, using Misty Moonlight ink.

I coloured the entire background using the Light Boho Blue Stampin' Blends Marker.  Next, I coloured most of the flowers with Stampin' Blends Markers, in Boho Blue and Misty Moonlight, also using my Color Lifter.  I left the foliage, smaller flowers, and a couple of the smaller coneflowers, uncoloured.

After inking a text stamp (from the new Elements of Text stamp set) with Balmy Blue ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping it over my coloured panel.  I repeated this process numerous times, stamping off onto scrap paper each time so the impression wasn't too dark on my card.  It was intentional to stamp some of the text across the uncoloured areas, to add to the irregular/grungy coloured look.

Next, I inked up a splatter stamp (also from Elements of Text) with Versamark ink, and stamped it a few times on my art piece.  I sprinkled silver embossing powder over the splatters, and melted it with my heat tool.  The last step was to sponge the edges of this panel with Misty Moonlight ink, before adhering it to a piece of Misty Moonlight card.

The sentiment, from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set, was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.  The border was stamped in Balmy Blue ink, and the whole piece punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.  NB: This beautiful stamp set is on the Last Chance List, for only $14.00, so you might like to grab yourself a bargain!

Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems, and a bow made from White Woven Ribbon, finish off my card.
