STAMPIN' UP! BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL PAPER STRIP CARD #2

 I created four backgrounds using strips of patterned paper from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper pack.  Here's what the backgrounds looked like, before I used them to make cards:

The card I am sharing was made from the panel in the top left of the photograph.  I used the largest Radiating Stitches Die to cut it out.  This die is a little shorter than our Australian-sized card fronts, so I added a strip of the same patterned paper to the bottom before matting it on a layer of Blueberry Bushel card.

Using Beautiful Balloons Dies, I die-cut stars from Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel and Bubble Bath card.  After embossing them with a Basics 3D embossing folder, I sponged the edges with inks matching the card colours.

I used the Light Berry Burst Stampin' Blends Marker to colour some Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon.  The sentiment, from Phrases For All, was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink directly onto the DSP.  I've used gorgeous glassy dots from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, to complement the colours used for the stars.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

I hope you'll come back tomorrow, to see two more cards made from the paper strip backgrounds.  The Bright & Beautiful DSP, and Beautiful Balloons bundle, make for such fun, festive, designs, don't you think?

STAMPIN' UP! WEDDING CARD FEATURING HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE DSP

My sister and her partner got married this week, in a very low-key ceremony.  Here is the card I made them, using Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.

I die-cut some flowers and leaves from the DSP pack, using the co-ordinating Irresistible Blooms Dies.  

The pearls have been coloured with my Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends marker.

The only stamping on the card is the sentiment.  I used the Phrases For All stamp set, and Lost Lagoon ink, to stamp directly onto Designer Series Paper.   Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon is a lovely choice for a not-so-formal card, don't you think?

STAMPIN' UP! MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD IN PEBBLED PATH

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Pebbled Path, the fourth of the five new Stampin' Up! In Colors we're sharing this month.  Pebbled Path is a brownish-grey, that I like to call "elephant grey".  

This great colour features in the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper, which is fab for masculine cards.  Here's what I came up with:

I cut a panel of the fishing net patterned paper, sponged the edges with Pebbled Path ink, and adhered it to a slightly larger Very Vanilla mat.  

The sentiment, from Phrases For All, was stamped in Pebbled Path ink on Very Vanilla card, and cut out using a Deckled Rectangles die.  After running this piece through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, I moved the die cut piece up a little, and cropped it using one long edge of the Deckled Rectangle die.  A couple of In Color Dots were added to the sentiment label.

Pebbled Path Textured Ribbon was laid across my card front, and I added a knot made from two strands of Boho Blue Jute Trim. 

Using a Nested Essentials Die, I cut out a few fish from another sheet of the Let's Go Fishing DSP.  After placing them where I wanted them, I used Paper Snips to trim the edges that overhung the Pebbled Path DSP.

More In Color Dots (in Boho Blue, as well as Pebbled Path) were added to the background.

Because my card base is Pebbled Path, and too dark to write on with most pens, I added a Very Vanilla piece to the inside.  I decorated it with a piece of the fish patterned paper, to complement the design on the card front.
