Most Adored Gold with Night of Navy Accents

Posted in HANDMADE CARDS, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

In the world of crafting and creative expression, certain elements stand out as timeless and beloved. Gold is undoubtedly one such element, radiating opulence and sophistication. Today, our product spotlight revolves around the Most Adored, and we’re going to explore how Night of Navy, a rich and deep hue, beautifully complements the regality of gold. 

The Most Adored Designer paper has captured the hearts of stampers worldwide with its premium quality and versatile appeal. Along with the Gold Foil designs and cute Valentine designs on the “flip side”, what makes it so popular is that you can get it for FREE during our Sale-a-bration promotion, with a qualifying purchase.

For today’s creative adventure, we turn our attention to Night of Navy. This deep, dark blue is synonymous with elegance and pairs seamlessly with the richness of gold. I used the swirl pattern and infused it with Night of Navy ink and my Water Painter. It appears to be dancing harmoniously with the golden accents, creating a mesmerizing effect.

I used the Watercolor Wash Technique over the Most Adored Designer paper, as it dries it lightens, so I went back over some areas with more ink to get the true Night of Navy color too. The die cut circles with a border of circles comes from the Everyday Detail Dies. And to take it over the top … I embossed the Paper Butterfly in Gold and embellished it with gold pearls from the Festive Pearls collection. 

On the flip side, we delve into the romantic realm with Card #2. Here, I used both sides of this sheet of designer paper with punched Hearts, and die cut the little hearts from our Sending Love Dies. As we approach the season of love, this creation becomes the perfect canvas for a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card. The Basic White background adds a sense of stability, making the hearts pop with warmth and affection.

My greeting comes from the Throughout the Year stamp set. You all know I love my sentiment sets, especially when they provide so much versatility as this one does. This was highlighted by die cutting the greeting from the Something Fancy Dies.

I’ll conclude the Most Adored collection, with its resplendent gold and Valentine themed flip side takes center stage in the world of crafting. The Night of Navy emerges as the perfect companion, adding depth and elegance to our project. So, whether you’re crafting a mesmerizing swirl pattern or crafting a heartfelt Valentine’s Day card with punched gold hearts, embrace the magic of Most Adored Designer Series paper.

Thank you for joining me today, I’ll meet you back here tomorrow featuring yet another color combination, and flip side card!

Get Your Cardmaking Groove On for New Year’s Eve …

Posted in Birthday, HANDMADE CARDS by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Are you ready to bid adieu to this year in the grooviest way possible? Buckle up your roller skates and grab your Disco Ball stamp from the Curved Occasions set because we’re about to slide into the New Year with style and flair! 

The Curved Occasions stamp set isn’t your average set of stamps. Sure, it’s got the retro roller skates that scream ’80s nostalgia, but it’s also the secret weapon for any occasion you can think of…. Birthdays, thank you notes, or just because – these stamps have got your back.

But let’s talk about the true star of the show: the Disco Ball stamp. This stamp is the epitome of party vibes, shimmering with nostalgia and ready to turn any piece of paper into a dance floor. You can practically hear the funky beats just by looking at it!

I brought in the “Wanted to Say” and “Patchwork Pieces” dies to help this party get started … we all like to have our friends around, right? These two dies compliment our Disco Ball and New’s Years celebration card perfectly. I used dimensionals on every other panel to create that “glowing” look for the Disco Ball.

As the disco beats echo through the halls and the glittering ball drops at midnight, let your cards be the talk of the town. It’s time to slide into the New Year with style, pizzazz, and a whole lot of stamping magic…. But this bundle retires January 3rd, so grab yours today.

Here’s to a year filled with spinning disco balls, endless creativity, and fun cards that bring joy wherever they go! 

Happy New Year my friends ~

MAKE A CAKE …

Posted in Birthday by

Hello stampers ~

It’s that time of year … lot’s of celebrating!  Graduations, anniversaries, and Birthdays!

So what do we do to get ready for a party …. MAKE A CAKE!

Make A Cake - May web

I just love using the “Patio Party Suite” when making cards for any kind of celebration.  The “Make a Cake” stamp set will be hanging around for another year (whew) but the awesomely fun “Patio Party” Designer Series Paper is retiring!  You can find the entire suite on page 43 of the 2012-13 catalog… but you’ll have to order today!

Make A Cake - May web2

To add a few special touches to this card I used the “Bitty Banner Framelits” and the “Beautiful Wings” Embosslits!  And for the cherry on top (so to speak) I topped it off with the medium and small size pearls.

To order any of the products shown,  just click here! AFTER NOON TODAY!

There are a few hours you cannot access the “Shop Now” feature on our websites … Stampin’ Up! is transitioning the NEW CATALOG!!  So excited… because you will be able to purchase from BOTH catalogs, but only for a short time.

Hope you have an awesome day and a great weekend!

Happy Stampin’
