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.

Supremely Awesome for PP642

Happy Sunday, friends!

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

This week, LeAnne is hosting our Sketch Challenge.

Oh how I love good Sketch Challenge and LeAnne delivered with this one. SO many possibilities! My card initially started out as something completely different but when I was putting away some new stamp sets, a whole different project popped into my head. 

I sure hope you will get crafty and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!

I decided to use the new Supremely Awesome stamp set from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog for this card. What can I say? I’m a pushover for a “punny” sentiment! This stamp set is adorable, because, it’s PIZZA! Cue the music…"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore". By the way, you’re welcome for putting that song in your head today. :) 

Color Combo: 

Cherry Cobbler

Misty Moonlight

Daffodil Delight

Basic Black

It is so easy to create a card with JUST the images and sentiments, which I did with this one. I initially had a piece of Designer Series Paper in the background, but just didn’t like how it looked. So, I created my own but randomly stamping the little utensils on the Misty Moonlight layer. 

When I first stamped my little chef, the layer was a bit too wide for the sketch. You know what they say about never trusting a skinny chef…haha! So, I decided to trim down he layer a bit and add some interest by popping the pizza OFF the layer to make it stand out a bit. I stamped a second pizza image, colored it with Stampin’ Blends and then fussy-cut it out. It adds some cool dimension in-person. I also added some little dots to the cheese on the pizza using a Black Stampin’ Write Marker. It just added a little “seasoning" to the pizza and also played off the buttons on the chef’s coat. It’s tough to see in the photos, but I also brushed some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to the pepperoni and the pizza tray for sparky detail. 

Card Measurements and Details:

• Cherry Cobbler Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
• Basic Black Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4”

Finally,, here is a peek inside the card. I stamped the checkerboard border in Memento ink and colored it with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. Then I stamped the fun sentiment and another set of utensils. I also popped in a little heart image (from the Crafting with You stamp set) because I just felt like it needed one. I’m going to give this one to my husband just to let him know I love him!
