Cup of Christmas Take 2

A while back, when the Holiday catalog was still brand new and exciting, I shared with you a bunch of cards using the Cup of Christmas stamp set and retired Christmas paper. This week, I thought I'd make some of the same cards, but this time, I'd use the Let it Snow and Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper from the 2019 Holiday Catalog. So, here are the same cards, but with a completely different look. It's amazing what a change in color and background paper can do!
And a few more with just the Let It Snow and Wrapped in Plaid papers...

Poppies, Poppies, Poppies!

I just couldn't resist playing with these poppies some more! I decided to make a set of four blank cards. These are perfect for sending a note to a friend just because you're thinking of them. I was inspired by the Global Design Project #216 to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) the Designer. 

The challenge was to design a card inspired by this card from designer Sarah Berry. I loved the Designer Series Paper and the rounded corners on one side and decided to carry those ideas through to not just one card, but four cards. 

I wanted the four cards to all use the same paper and colors so that they would appear to be a set. However, I wanted each card to be unique as well. So, I mixed up the direction of the cards, changed the coloring method, added some texture and glam on some, and changed the proportions of the patterned paper.

For the first one, I used the stamps in the Painted Poppies stamp set to color in the poppies using Poppy Parade ink. There is a large textured splotch that I used for the general coverage of the flower. Then, there are additional speckle stamps that aren't textured in the same way as the splotch so they stamp darker. I used these to stamp over the splotch and give additional texture to the poppy. I found that this look mimicked the red patterned paper from the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper pack. 

I stamped the stem in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White card stock. The stem actually has a smaller flower and a bud, but I covered these with the poppies that I had stamped on Whisper White and fussy cut. I also stamped the speckles in Mango Melody behind where the flowers are to give it a little texture and added a few rhinestones. 
For the second card, I stamped the splotch in Mango Melody ink and then stamped the speckles in both Mango Melody and Poppy Parade. Once again, I stamped the outline of the poppies with the Tuxedo Black Memento pad. I colored the leaves by stamping the smaller speckle stamp with Granny Apple Green ink. I fussy cut the flowers and the leaves. The Mango Melody card stock is textured with the Subtle 3D embossing folder.

For the third card, I stamped the line of poppies in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Mango Melody card stock and then I used Stampin' Blends in Poppy Parade to color them in. I stamped the poppy image and the leaves with Memento ink on Whisper White and colored those with Stampin' Blends as well. The flower is Poppy Parade and the leaves are Granny Apple Green. I added three rhinestones tot he center of the flower to glam it up a little bit. 
The final card has a Poppy Parade base. I stamped the poppies and leaves with Memento ink again on Whisper White card stock. Like the previous card, I colored them with Stampin' Blends in Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green. To give the poppies a little sparkle, I colored bits of the flowers with Wink of Stella. Love the glittery look! 

It's hard to see, but I stamped the speckles in Poppy Parade ink behind the flowers to give the card stock a little more texture. Finally, I added a few rhinestones to give that little something extra.

Swaps!

Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to attend Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event in Lansing, MI with about 1300 other demonstrators from primarily the Midwest. It was so much fun to meet other demonstrators, stamp, hear inspirational speakers, see new product, and get my hands on the catalog coming in January. It was a great Saturday! 

One of the best parts though was swapping cards with other demonstrators. I thought you might like to see some of the cards I received from others. I'll share more next week!

Fuzzy Cattails

Last week, I shared a video with you where I explained how to use the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint to create fluffy cotton on the image in the Country Home stamp set. I love that the cotton balls are fluffy! But, when I got done and was putting the stamp set away, I looked at the other spray of flowers and thought how sad the cattails looked. They wanted a little fluff too!

So, I stamped the image and pulled the puff paint back out. I applied the puff paint with a paintbrush to the cattails, just like I'd done previously to the cotton. I heated the puff paint so that it puffed up. I filled in the holes and heated it again. Once it was all nice an puffy, I broke out my Soft Suede Stampin' Blend and I colored the puff paint! It did break down the puff slightly, but it still left a wonderful texture that is perfect for cattails!
