STAMPIN' UP! CUTEST ONESIE BABY CARD IN BOHO BLUE

 

Our Colour Creations blog hop this week is all about Boho Blue, one of Stampin' Up!'s In Colors for 2023-2025.  

I decided it's a lovely blue for a baby card, so I made this card using the Cutest Onesie bundle:

I stamped the onesies on Boho Blue Designer Series Paper (from the 2023-2025 In Color 6"x6" DSP pack), using Boho Blue ink.  After cutting them out with the co-ordinating die, I sponged Boho Blue ink around the edges.

The large cloud was die-cut from Basic White Thick card, using a Bright Skies Die.  Embossing it with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder made it look a bit more baby blanket-ish, don't you think?

I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink on Basic White card, then cut it out using a Happy Little Things Die.  After unravelling a single strand of Boho Blue jute trim, I created a little bow that I adhered with glue dots.  I rather like the messy, fibrous, look of it.

I cut a Thick Basic White layer, slightly smaller than the card base, to create my background.  Using a Blending Brush, I added Boho Blue ink.  I then stamped some stars and hearts, from the Cutest Onesie stamp set, using Boho Blue ink.  A couple of clouds were cut from the same DSP as I used for the onesies, using a smaller cloud die from the Bright Skies Die set.  Boho Blue ink was sponged around the edges of the clouds before I tucked them behind the large white cloud.

The tiny silver hearts were created with Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper, cut using a Forever Forest Die.  I also cut a thin sliver of the glimmer paper to add to the right-hand side of my card.  Since photographing it, I've made sure the silver strip is firmly stuck down, so there's no longer the gap you can see in this photo!

On a scrap of Basic white card, I stamped the sentiment for the inside of the card, using two stamps from Cutest Onesie.  The words were stamped in Misty Moonlight ink, and I used a Labeled With Love Die to cut them out.  After stamping some scribbly clouds in Boho Blue ink, I sponged the edges of the label with Boho Blue ink.  A couple of silver glimmery stars were added, to tie in with the design on the front of the card.

STAMPIN' UP! CHRISTMAS CARDS FEATURING BLUEBERRY BUSHEL

 

This week's Colour Creations blog hop is all about Blueberry Bushel, a bright royal blue that doesn't see much action on my creations!  As it is one of the colours in the beautiful Winter Meadow Designer Series Papers, I was inspired to make a couple of Christmas cards.

For both cards, I have used the new Golden Greenery bundle, of stamps and dies that are Online Exclusive products.  The sentiments are courtesy of the More Wishes stamp set.

CARD #1:

Here's a closer look at the beautiful background paper, and the glimmer of the silver die-cut foliage and rhinestones:

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink on a piece of Blueberry Bushel paper, from the Winter Meadow DSP pack.  I heat-embossed it in white.  Please overlook all the stray specks of white embossing powder - I didn't do too good a job of this embossing!  I sponged Blueberry Bushel ink around the edges of this paper panel.

I stamped the two larger bells on a piece of very subtle patterned Smoky Slate paper, first using Smoky Slate ink, then adding detail with Versamark ink and silver embossing powder (melted with a heat gun).   Some berries were stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink (creative licence, to tie in with the paper!) on Basic White card, and die-cut.  Using glue dots, I added a bow made from Silver 1/8" Trim.

CARD #2:

Again, I stamped the bells on a piece of paper (from the Winter Meadow DSP pack) that has a very subtle Smoky Slate and white pattern.  For this card, I used the smaller of the two bell stamps and dies.  I stamped the bells in Smoky Slate ink, and silver-embossed the detail that was stamped in Versamark ink.

A few clusters of berries, stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink on Basic White card, were added to the background paper.

The bow was created from Silver 1/8" Trim, that I had coloured with the Dark Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends marker.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink, and heat-embossed in white, on the Blueberry Bushel paper from the Winter Meadow DSP pack.  I sponged around the edges of both Designer Series Paper pieces, with Blueberry Bushel ink.  A thin strip of Silver Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper divides the two papers.

The embellishments added to this card are from the new Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dts pack.  I love the silver detail in them.
