Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination

 

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

Send a wagon full of festive fun with the Filled With Cheer Stamp Set, a new addition to our Online Exclusive Collection that also coordinates with the Filled With Fun Dies from March's product release.
 

The snowman image from the Filled with Cheer Cling Stamp Set was stamped using Tuxedo Black Mementoâ„¢ Ink on a Basic White Cardstock panel. The image was coloured using Stampin' Blends (Crumb Cake, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Peach Pie, and Petunia Pop). The wagon and wheel images were stamped on Crumb Cake Cardstock using Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Ink and cut out using the coordinating dies from the Filled with Fun Dies. The wheels were first adhered to the wagon die cut, and then the completed wagon element adhered to the stamped panel. A torn strip of Basic White Cardstock was added at the bottom of the panel, slightly overlapping with the wagon's wheels, to imitate snow. Linen thread was wrapped around the panel and tied in a bow. The stamped panel was then adhered to a Petunia Pop Cardstock mat.

A panel of the confetti patterned paper from the Iconic Imagery 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper was adhered to the bottom of the front of a Misty Moonlight folded card base. The completed stamped panel was adhered over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Crumb Cake Cardstock using Early Espresso ink, and the right edge cut at an angle. The stamped strip was adhered to the top left of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Single Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries were added to the stamped layer as final embellishments.

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

 

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

You'll find that classic Christmas colours are given a modern twist in the Iconic Celebrations Suite, a new addition to our Online Exclusive Collection. While this project is a great way to get started on your Christmas crafting, this suite isn't just for the festive season and contains imagery suitable for celebrations throughout the year.
 

The outline leaf image from the Iconic Imagery Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped directly on a Basic White folded card base at the bottom left corner and to the right of the centre using Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Ink. Cherry Cobbler Adhesive-Backed Berries were added to the stamped leaves. A rectangle of the Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow plaid pattern from the Iconic Celebrations 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper was adhered to a Cherry Cobbler Cardstock mat. This was then added to centre of the card front. A strip of the leaf and Cherry Cobbler patterned paper from the same stack was adhered across the width of the card front.

The "Celebrate" sentiment, also from the Iconic Imagery set, was stamped using Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Ink on Basic White Cardstock and cut out using the largest label die from the coordinating Iconic Imagery Dies. "The Season", again from the same stamp set, was stamped on Mossy Meadow Cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink and the trimmed rectangle adhered to the die-cut white label underneath the stamped word. The completed sentiment element was adhered to the centre of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.
