Just Add Color Specialty Paper From Stampin' Up!

  • Great use for Blends Markers
  • Just Add Color Specialty Paper is on sale
  • Time is running out to order your favorite Last-Chance items

Just Add Color with Blends Markers

Today's card couldn't be faster and easier.  I used the Just Add Color Special Paper from Stampin' Up!, and colored it with Blends Markers, cut out the images, stamped and die cut a few clouds, stamped a sentiment ad the card was done.  I love fast, easy cards like this!
  
     



I used a Pool Party base card.  Then a layer of the Coastal Cabana, a returning color that will be in the upcoming June 1 catalog.  I had some in my stash as it was a color I really liked, even though it had once retired.  Then I used a layer of Whisper White as the base for my images and sentiment.  

Tip:  I usually stamp my sentiment before I add other elements to the image layer, so that I don't mess up my entire image layer after I have my images adhered.  The sentiment is from the In The City stamp set, a hostess set.  

     

  


  



I selected three buildings from one of the sheets of the Just Add Color Specialty Designer Series Paper.  Then I used the light Old Olive, light Soft Sky, and light Calypso Coral Blends Markers to color them before I fussy cut them and popped them up on Dimensionals.  

The I grabbed my Lift Me Up stamp set and coordinating Up & Away Thinlits, and stamped several sizes of clouds in Coastal Cabana and die cut them.  Then I scattered them across the top of the card and glued them onto the Whisper White. I'm so glad this set will carry over to the new calendar year.   


This paper pack is on the Last Chance List and its discounted!  Check it out before it sells out or retires on May 31.

Just Add Color with this Specialty Paper from Stampin' Up!

  • Lovely Lipstick, a new In Color, for Lovely flowers
  • Share What You Love Early Release Suite
  • Order your favorite Last-Chance items by May 31

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.
   




Download a brochure with details about the  three Share What You Love bundles and the five new In Colors here.  The five 2018-2020 In Colors can be purchased at a 10% savings, and are available as a preorder prior to the release of the new June 1 catalog so you can begin playing with them now along with one of the Share What You Love early release bundles.

Stamps:  Love What You Do
Ink:  Old Olive, Lovely Lipstick
Paper:  Old Olive, Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, Whisper White 
Accessories:  Clear Faceted Gems, Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Stampin' Trimmer, Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals, Mini Dimensionals
