Ornate Style for PP487

Happy Sunday! Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players. 

This week, I am super-excited to be hosting our monthly 

Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge. 

 Check it out and play along with us! 

I added a fun twist to the Clean and Simple theme to feature SPARKLE on your projects. You can add as much or as little as you would like but dress up those projects with some sparkly goodness. 

Don’t you love that floral image? It is from a new stamp set called Ornate Style which is going to be featured in the new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog in June. But guess what? It is available to order right NOW as part of an early release. It is part of the Ornate Garden Suite which is so beautiful. You can learn more about those brand new products HERE. 

Ok, so Clean-and-Simple is usually a bit of a struggle for me but I think I finally found a groove. I think all of the sparkly details distracted me. Ha! I decided to go with a black and white color combo to really let the glitz and glam take center stage on the card. I just think there is something so elegant about a simple black and white card, too. I added in the sentiment from To a Wild Rose stamp set because it was so simple and i just love the font. I also added a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to the inside of the card to write a handwritten note.

April 2020 Stampin Friends Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop! We share on the third Thursday of every month with fun projects from all around the world! If you are following the hop, you arrived here from Barbara’s blog. Welcome! This month our theme is “All About Flowers And Moms". I hope you have some fun hopping with us this month and find lots of creative inspiration. 

My projects this month include a Mother’s Day card along with a fun and simple Post-It holder using the To A Wild Rose Stamp Set and Wild Rose Dies along with sentiments from the Well Said Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up!

The card has LOT of little details, including the watercolor wash background on the Shimmery White Cardstock layer using Pool Party Ink and an Aqua-Painter. After I did the watercolor wash, I used a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker to add some speckled details to the card front. I simply “flicked” the tip of the marker against the inside of the marker lid to create a “splattered” ink detail. After the Shimmery White Cardstock was dry, I ran it through the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder for added texture.

The To a Wild Rose stamp set is a beautiful stamp set and the flowers and leaves have such pretty detail through a 3-step stamping process. By layering the stamps over each other, you add a beautiful mix of color and texture to the image. 

If you’d like to watch my Facebook Live video of how these projects were put together: CLICK HERE. 

I started out stamping outline of the flower using Daffodil Delight Ink. That I used the image that fills in the flower using Daffodil Delight ink, I stamped it off TWICE on scrap paper before stamping over the flower. Then I used the image that adds the little details to the flower, again using Daffodil Delight Ink and  stamping-off ONCE on scrap paper before stamping over the image.I just love the detail it adds to the flower, don’t you? By the way,  I’ve listed all of the measurements and details below and there is a full supply list at the end of this post. 

Color Combo:

Daffodil Delight

Pear Pizzazz

Crumb Cake

Calypso Coral

One of the MANY things I love about the Stampin’ Blends Markers is that not only do they create awesome shading on an image, but that also make it easy to create custom colored embellishments for your projects. I took a piece of Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding and colored it with a Daffodil Delight Light Stampin’ Blends marker. Just leave it a few minutes to dry and there you have it….custom colored ribbon! 

Card Measurements and Details: 

• Crumb Cake Card Base - 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Daffodil Delight Cardstock - 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Shimmery White Cardstock - 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”. watercolor wash background using Pool Party Ink and Aqua-Painter, emboss with Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing folder, flick ink from Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker all over image, sponge Crumb Cake Ink around edges using a Stamping Sponge. 
• Scraps of Whisper White Cardstock, Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, Vellum and Gold Foil for die cut images.
• Scrap of Crumb Cake Cardstock to stamp sentient from Well Written Stamp Set, die cut using Stitched Nested Labels Die and then ink Crumb Cake Ink around edges using a Stamping Sponge

• Cover accented areas of flower with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
• Add a trio of sequins from the Woven Threads Sequins Assortment to the front of card, using glue

My coordinating project is a Post-It holder. I have been sending lots of “happy mail” recently and I am always looking for simple and easy ways to turn the ordinary into something handmade and heartfelt. Let’s face it, we ALL need Post-It’s, right? if you peeked into my office you would totally see my obsession with them. This is just a way way to dress them up with a little holder that looks great sitting on a desk. 

Post-It Holder Measurements and Details: 

• Crumb Cake Cardstock: 3-1/4” x 7”, on the long side score at 3-1/4” and 3-3/4” 
• Daffodil Delight Cardstock - 3” x 3”

• Stamp the center of the flower in Calypso Coral Ink
• Stamp the leaf outline in Pear Pizzazz ink on Pear Pizzazz Cardstock 
• Stamp the “center” of the leaf in Pear Pizzazz ink stamped-off once
