Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination


Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The cozy imagery of the Keep Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set is combined with a modern colour palette to create this fun, festive project.
 

The second mask from the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks was used with a Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Ink™ on a folded Pretty in Pink card base to place a snowflake image centrally to form the background. A dark Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blend™ was used to add additional ink splatters.

The sweater, hat, and a pair of mitten images from the Keep Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Night of Navy ink. The images were coloured using Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy Stampin' Blends, and carefully cut out. The "’tis the season" sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy on a ¾" x 2¼" strip of Lost Lagoon Cardstock. The right end of the stamped strip and the right end of a ½" x 2¼" strip of Night of Navy Cardstock were each cut to form flags.

The Night of Navy strip was adhered directly to the card front as shown. A length of White Baker's Twine (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) was adhered to the pair of mittens, and the mittens added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals™. The sentiment strip was added over the looped twine, also with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sweater and hat were added to the card front, again using Stampin' Dimensionals, and Balmy Blue Frosted Iridescent Dots added as the final embellishments.

Bonus Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

 

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

This project combines the Christmas tree imagery in the Pine Tree Trimmings Bundle with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler to create a classic Christmas card design.
 

The fir tree image from the Pine Tree Trimmings Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped twice in the centre of a Basic White layer (4" x 5¼") using Garden Green Classic Stampin' Ink™. The solid tree image from the same stamp set was stamped on Garden Green cardstock, again using Garden Green ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies.

Using additional dies from the same set, a star and two garland elements were cut from Gold Foil Sheets, and adhered to the die-cut tree. The tree element was then added to the centre of the stamped Basic White panel using Stampin' Dimensionals™

The sentiment was stamped on a 3" x ⅝" strip of Cherry Cobbler Cardstock using VersaMark™ Ink, and embossed using white powder from the Basics WOW! Embossing Powder. The embossed strip was adhered across the top of the die-cut tree with Stampin' Dimensionals at each end.

White & Gold Baker's Twine was wrapped around the two opposite corners of the card panel, and tied in a bow at the top left corner. The completed panel was then added to a folded Cherry Cobbler card base. Iridescent Foiled Gems were added as the final embellishments.

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch


Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The North Pole Delivery 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper includes 2 sheets of single-sided die-cut printed elements, which make creating cards with this cute suite even easier as you don't even need to cut them out yourself!
 

The postage stamp rectangle was die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the second largest die from the Perennial Postage Dies. The sentiment, from the Jolly Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento™ Ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the die cut. A length of Real Red & White Baker's Twine was looped around the top of the die cut, and tied in a bow in the top right-hand corner. The rectangle was then added to a folded Pool Party card base at an angle using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

Four of the larger envelope elements were taken from the paper pack's die cut sheets. Two envelopes were adhered directly to the white layer (the first and third in the line), and then the other two added using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination


Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The new Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection includes patterned paper featuring florals in muted tones, along with stamp and die bundles that feature both floral and foliage elements, and sentiments that can be the focal point of your designs.
 

A rectangle of the Very Vanilla floral pattern from the Brushed with Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper measuring 4¼" x 5½" was adhered to a folded Crumb Cake card base (with the fold at the top). The long sides of a smaller rectangle of the dotted patterned paper from the same DSP (measuring 4¼" x 2½"; approx. ½" taller than the final layer) were torn to expose the white core of the paper along those edges. This layer was then adhered to the centre of the card front.

The three 'because' dies from the Words of Beauty Dies were used to cut the three layers of the focal point sentiment, which were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Adhesive Sheets could also be used). Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Paper was used for the base layer, Crumb Cake Cardstock was used for the middle, and Petal Pink Cardstock die used for the top. The completed layered element was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals™.

The middle-sized label die from the Words of Beauty Dies was used to cut a label from Very Vanilla Cardstock. The 'You've Been on My Mind' stamp, from the coordinating Words of Beauty Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on the label using Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Ink™. Very Vanilla Baker's Twine, from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, was wrapped around the card front three times, and tied to the right side of the dotted DSP layer. The stamped label was added with Stampin' Dimensionals, over the knot securing the twine.
