More Share What You Love

Today I decided to work with one of the New In Colors, Lovely Lipstick.  When I first saw this new color, I dismissed it as too close to Real Red.  However, when I started using it, I found it to be brighter and warmer than Real Red.  I think I'll be using this much more than I first anticipated.  The best news is that the 5 new In Colors stamp pads can be purchased early; before the June 1 catalog is released.  The Lovely Lipstick In Color was used for the flowers on today's cards.
  
     




I used an Old Olive base card.  Then a layer of the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Then I used a Whisper White layer for my image block.  I stamped four sets of the flowers from the Love What You Do stamp set in Lovely Lipstick, and fussy cut them. Before I fussy cut them, I used the Lovely Lipstick stamp pad and a Aqua painter to lightly color the flower heads.

Then I stamped some of the stems in Old Olive onto the Whisper White background after placing, but not adhering the flowers.  then I popped some of the flowers on dimensionals and others were glued flat to the Whisper White Layer to give the card a lot of texture.,  I also fussy cut a few of the stems and leaves ad added them between the flowers.     

  


  

I added another Whisper White Strip for the Sentiment, and popped it up on dimensionals.  The sentiment is from the Share What You Love stamp set and is stamped in Old Olive.  

I used a Cherry Cobbler Blends Marker to color the two clear Faceted Gems which were added to the Sentiment block.

Silver Celebrate You and Vellum flowers from Stampin' Up!

  • Celebrate You Thinlits
  • Share What You Love Early Release Suite
  • Last-Chance items retire May 31; Order your favorites now

Celebrate You Silver Foil 


This time of the year, you're likely to have needs for lots of cards.  Graduations cards was my focus today when I hit my craft room.  I used an earlier card as a starting point and added a bit more with the Celebrate You framelits.  I'm sooo happy this Sale-A-Bration Celebrate You thinlit will carry over to the new annual catalog next month.  There is so much that can be done with this set of dies.      

The card I made today uses Whisper White and Silver foil paper and vellum.  It includes a lot of texture, but very few colors.  I think, in this case, that less is more.  
     



I used a Thick Whisper White card stock.  Then I dry embossed the Petal Pair embossing folder image on the left side of a Whisper White Layer.  

I used the Celebrate You die to cut the word Amazing and the word You out of Silver Foil Paper.  The vellum flowers are outlined in silver, and this is one of several flower elements from the Occasion Catalog Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit.  This embellishment is on the Last Chance List, so if you want it, pick it up before May 31.      

The ribbon is a 3/8 " silver-edged Whisper White Ribbon, which will also carry over to the new catalog.     

  


  

This inside of the card is stamped with a Congratulations  from the  Bookcase Builder stamp.  The word was stamped with VersaMark and then heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  

The white/silver numbers and vellum/silver branches are from the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit.  This embellishment kit includes not only several silver/white vellum flowers and branches, but several multicolored birthday cakes, and die cut foil colored flowers, velvet ribbon, a dozen tiny clothespins, white/silver foil, 1/8" washi tape, and a sheet with four sets of silver/white numbers.  Click on the Embellishment Kit image in the product list below to see a closeup of all items included in this kit.  I ordered one Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit and as soon as I opened it, I ordered two more.  I even like the clear boxes that the Embellishment Kits comes in.  I'm sure I'll be repurposing the clear box once I've used the embellishments.  



The vellum flowers are outlined in silver, matching the silver foil die cut words
