Rock Star for PP672

Happy Sunday, friends!

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

This week, I am thrilled to be your host for our Color Challenge.

A New Year means a clean slate. So I decided to do a fun BLACK and WHITE color combo with a fun twist. Add a pop of bold color to the mix. The color or colors are up to you…just have FUN! I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

It’s no secret that I’m a little bit smitten with the new Rock Star stamps and dies from he new Stampin’ Up!® January - April Mini Catalog. I have been having so much fun plying with this set. The coordinating Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper is a fab mix of black and white patterns, too. I’m always a fan of black and white DSP. It has so many options. Keep it black and white, color it, mix patterns…it’s just so fun to create with. 

My “pops of color” are Azure Afternoon and Highland Heather. I also added a little bit of Smoky Slate to ground the colors a bit. I originally added silver foil in place of the Smoky Slate. It was a little too flashy, even for me. I added extra texture from the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder, some flash from the stars cut from the Holographic Trio Specialty Paper and Wink of Stella for some added sparkle. 

I mentioned recently on a Facebook Live video that I really wanted to do a purple guitar because it reminded me of Prince, who is a total rock icon. I actually met Prince once…on an elevator in a hotel in Columbus, Ohio. So random, right? I cracked a joke and made him (and his 2 bodyguards) laugh. He was really nice and really short…but he was wearing GIGANTIC shoes. Haha! 

Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I simply added a strip of black cardstock and two fussy-cut speakers from the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper. Lots of room for the handwritten sentiment. I made a bunch of these cards for a demonstrator swap, too. 

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Color Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday January 19th, 2024.

Rock Star for PP670

Happy Sunday, friends!

Time for our last creative challenge of 2023 over at The Paper Players! 

This week, Claire is hosting our Color Challenge.

What a fun color combo to round out our challenges for 2023! I’m always up for some bold, bright colors and this combo is really fun. I sure hope you will join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!   

*I’ve shared measurements and a full supply list of products used to create this card at the end of this post.

For my card, I decided to share a sneak peek of a brand new bundle. The Rock Star stamps & dies will be coming out in the upcoming Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalog starting on January 4th. It’s just a fab suite of products, including the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper. I always love some good ol’ black and white patterns for their versatility. This is a fun bundle for masculine card, cards for teens…or really just about anyone who loves their tunes! 

I added some texture to the Basic White layer with the splotches from the Stripes and Splotches 3D Embossing Folders. There’s also some Wink of Stella to add sparkly detail to the sentiment banner and the guitars. The Holographic Trio Specialty Paper adds a fun metallic touch too. 

Here is another variation of the card. I used the star pattern from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper which I think pairs really well with the sentiment. I also narrowed the center panel to 2-1/2” x 5-/8” and embossed it with the stripes in the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. The embossing adds really cool texture that’s tough to see in the photo above. It’s a little bit “busier” than the original card but I like it! 

Measurements and Details: 

• Tahitian Tide Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Real Red Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
• Basic White Cardsotck: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” embossed with Stripes and Splotches 3D Embossing Folder and 4” x 5-1/4” card interior
• Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper (available January 4th, 2024): 3” x 5-1/8
• Holographic Trio Specialty Paper: 1/4” x 5-1/8” (2 pieces) and scrap for die-cut stars
• Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper: 4” x 1/2” card interior
• Basic White Cardstock: scraps for stamping / die-cutting
• Festive Pearls and Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I simply added a strip of DSP and coordinating sentiment. I made a dozen of these cards for team swaps because you can never have too many birthday cards in your stash, right? 

I hope you will join us this week over at The Paper Players and share your project for our Color Challenge. We’d love to see what you come up with! You can link up your project through Noon PST on Friday December 15th, 2023. 

This is also our last challenge with our wonderful 2023 Guest Designers. Suzy, Fran and Tara, thank you so much for sharing your awesome creativity with us this year. You will be very missed! :-(
