STAMPIN' UP! DRAGONFLY GARDEN FRIENDSHIP CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

 

This week's star colour, for our Colour Creations blog hop, is Misty Moonlight.  We have this beautiful blue in Stampin' Up!'s range until mid-2022; it is one of the six In Colors that will retire when the current Annual Catalogue ends.

I have used a couple of patterned papers (from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper pack) that feature Misty Moonlight.  

On the panel at the top (the paper that looks a little wallpaper-like), I splattered some ink using my Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin' Blends marker, by flicking the brush tip nib against the inside of the lid.

The sentiment, from the Many Happenings stamp set, was stamped in Versamark ink on Misty Moonlight card, then heat-embossed with white embossing powder.  I used the Messages Die to cut it out.  The glimmery butterfly was cut, using a Brilliant Wings Die, from a piece of Ombre Specialty Paper.  It is described as Night of Navy, but the lighter part of the ombre pattern nicely complements Misty Moonlight.  Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems bring a bit more sparkle to an otherwise rustic-looking design.

The main stamped panel was created by stamping the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set onto Crumb Cake ink, using Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake inkpads.  I cut out the stamped piece with a Stitched So Sweetly Die, sponged Crumb Cake ink around the scalloped edges, and mounted it on a thin mat of Misty Moonlight card.

In between the two pieces of Designer Series Paper, I added a Basic White card strip that has been embossed with the Hive 3D embossing folder - a new product, that will be out on 4th January.

A twine bow was created using Flowers For Every Season Trim.

STAMPIN' UP! THANK YOU CARD IN DAFFODIL DELIGHT

 

For the second week in a row, we are showcasing a yellow, for the Colour Creations blog hop.  Last week, Crushed Curry was a challenge for me ... but Daffodil Delight, this week's colour, is a much brighter, cleaner, yellow that just screams "happiness". 🌞

I started the creation of tonight's card by choosing a Basic White die-cut cone flower, cut using Harvest Dies, that was already on my desk.  Using my Stampin' Blends markers, I coloured the petals in Daffodil Delight, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, and the flower head/centre in Crumb Cake.  Also on my craft table was a Basic White piece of card that I had embossed with a Thanks & Hello Embossing Folder.  I love how these "leftover bits", with a few additions, came together to make this card:

I mounted the embossed white panel onto a piece of Daffodil Delight card, that I had stamped repeatedly with a stamp from Dragonfly Garden.  I stamped the flowers in Daffodil Delight ink, and sponged the edges of that piece with the same coloured ink.

Using a Seasonal Swirls Die, I cut a wreath from Granny Apple Green card, and snipped off the holly leaves.  I added the cone flower to the wreath, and decorated it with a bow made from Black & White Gingham Ribbon.  This complements the black stamped sentiment, and the Matte Black Dots I added to the tiny yellow flowers.

The sentiment, from Dragonfly Garden, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card, and cut out using a label from Meadow Dies.

I die cut a few glittery flowers, using a Pierced Blooms Die, and Ombre Specialty Paper (that is Mango Melody, but that has colour gradation allowing it to complement Daffodil Delight nicely).
