You Are Amazing: In Color Cards

Welcome back! I have a collection of cards to share with you today featuring the Color & Contour Bundle. I'm sure by now you have seen the new 2021-2023 In Colors. Stampin' Up! always does a good job of picking on trend colors to introduce each year, and this year's are no exception. I paired the colors with this amazing bundle - take a look!

 

The paper you see peeking out on the edge of these cards comes from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper pack (on sale this month!). This paper coordinates with the Pansy Patch Bundle, and includes all of the new in colors.

 

I copied my card design in all five of the new colors. Which one do you like the best?

 

Evening Evergreen

 

Fresh Freesia

 

Pale Papaya

 

Polished Pink

 

Soft Succulent

 

The Color & Contour Bundle is really fun to create with! I love the dies and have used them a lot already, but the stamps are great too. The flower stamp that I used on these cards is fun and bold, and it's probably my favorite stamp in the set.

If you'd like to recreate these cards, here is a full list of the products I used:

Stamps: Color & Contour

Ink: Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent

Paper: Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Basic White, Pansy Petals DSP

#GDP297: You Are Unique

It's been a long while since I participated in a Global Design Project challenge, but I needed to create something that wasn't for a class, and I love a good color challenge! Here are the colors for this week's challenge:

I am featuring the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle on Facebook this week, and I wanted to incorporate that into my design. Kill two birds with one stone, right? Well, these colors didn't exactly scream seashore.... but I made it work, and I kind of love how it turned out! Take a look:

 

This bundle comes with a large die that coordinates with some of the stamped images, as well as an embossing folder. The greenery was trimmed from that large die. The shells are stamped in Blackberry Bliss, and I used a Blender Pen to add a little bit more color to the small one. The starfish is stamped in Fresh Freesia.

 

The sentiment label is cut from the Potted Succulent Dies - it was the perfect fit for this sentiment! And don't you love how striking the white embossing is on a dark color like Blackberry Bliss? I sure do! I finished the card off with a few of the Artistry Blooms Sequins.

 

This card was so fun to make! When I'm designing for classes, I tend to make simpler cards, or stick to a certain group of products. I didn't think about any of that while making this card, and just used whatever I wanted! The creative time was just what I needed. 

 

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:

Stamps: Friends Are Like Seashells

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz, 2021-2023 In Color DSP

Embellishments: Artistry Blooms Sequins

Tools: Seaside Seashells Dies, Potted Succulents Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Blender Pens

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Happy Stamping!
