Stampin' Up! Ornate Style For You Card

Last night I posted my Cherry Cobbler colour creations card and while I was creating that card, I was very indecisive and I had a few samples on the go testing out different methods of colouring. These were watercoloring, stampin' blends on white cardstock and stampin' blends on a heat embossed image on black cardstock in case your were wondering.
I didn't want to waste all my non attempts but I am not so good at watercoloring (so I binned that attempt!) and I used the stampin' blends on white cardstock for last nights card.
The petal pink stampin' blend didn't show up on the embossed image so I used flirty flamingo instead and as I had finished my cherry cobbler card already I added a pop of colour with daffodil delight. I again fussy cut the image and used the ornate layers die with the flirty flamingo cardstock being run through the subtle 3D embossing folder. This time, I did however add a 'for you' sentiment from the well said stamp set.

Colour Creations 2020 #9 - Cherry Cobbler

Our ninth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "cherry cobbler" from the regals collection. I have chosen cherry cobbler, petal pink and mossy meadow from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
Here is my card from 2018. 

For tonights card, I have used the large floral from ornate style stamp set and have coloured it in with stampin' blends on shimmery white cardstock. I fussy cut a few of the cherry cobbler images and raised them up on stampin' dimensionals for added interest, similar to paper toile. I also added rhinestone jewels both basic and champagne coloured ones to the centre of most flowers for a bit of bling. I fussy cut the large floral image and laid it on top of the frame from ornate layers dies. I then layed the die cut frame onto a petal pink cardstock piece I had run through the subtle embossing folder. 
I went with the no sentiment/blank card instead of the for you route I was going to do so it can be used for any occasion.

Colour Creations 2020 #8 - Calypso Coral

Our eighth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "calypso coral" from the subtles collection. I have chosen calypso coral, crushed curry and bermuda bay from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 
Here is my card from 2018. 

With my card today, I decided to create a shaker card as the colours calypso coral, crushed curry and bermuda bay, all together scream bright, fun and happy! I created a smoshed inked background and layered a single cardstock candle on top if it. I masked two different stamps from well said stamp set to create the "make a" sentiment (shown in the image below) and I also trimmed the end off wishes from well written dies to create the word "wish".



To create the candle, I also used the well written dies but used the negative portion (again shown below).

Computer Gamer Stampin' Up! 17th birthday card

My eldest son turned 17 today and he loves to play computer and Play Station games. I used his hobby as my inspiration for his gamer birthday card.


My younger son gave my the idea to have some of the computer keys "worn" as in they are the keys that would be most used when playing games. Josh appreciated my efforts and said my card was "pretty cool", which I consider high praise from a 17 year old!

Close up - I printed out a keyboard image and fussy cut the keyboard keys out and popped each one up on stampin' dimensionals to create realistic keyboard keys.
