Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC379: Jar of Flowers

Good morning!

It's an exciting day in the paper crafting world, Stampin' Up!'s new Annual Catalog was released today and we can start ordering lots of fun goodies.  One of the new bundles being released is the Jar of Flowers stamp set with coordinating punch so I decided to use it for today's Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge card.

I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase of this card and then added a piece of Mango Melody cardstock which was embossed with the Subtles 3D Embossing folder for the cardfront and then added a piece of the new In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (there are so many amazing patterns in this pack, you'll want to make sure to include it on your first order).

For the stamped image I stamped the jar, flowers, and stems from the Jar of Flowers stamp set on Whisper White cardstock and then colored it in using my Stampin' Blends.  I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the white layer and then matted it with Terracotta Tile cardstock as a mat.

I used the Itty Bitty Birthdays stamp set for the greeting and stamped in Cajun Craze ink on Crumb Cake cardstock before cutting it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and attached the greeting with dimensionals.  To finish off the card I added a bow using the Old Olive Ribbon in the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.

This card is perfect for summer, I love the warm colors and textures and this stamp set will be good for projects for all seasons.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing using this inspiration picture and we would love for you to share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC349: Birch Birthday Greetings

Good morning!

This week the Paper Craft Crew has a fun inspiration challenge, all about butterflies and blooms.  Now I have a small confession, I'm not a huge fan of butterflies in my crafting, don't hate them but they don't usually inspire me so after looking through all my stamping stash I was shocked to not have anything butterfly that I could use for this challenge, so instead I'm focusing on the blooms.

I'm loving the new Heirloom Frames Dies and Embossing Folders so I decided to create the look of vintage framed art you might remember and just went from there.

I started with Pool Party cardstock for the cardbase and then matted the Whisper White cardfront with Basic Black ink.  To create the cardfront I stamped with the Birch stamp set in Crumb Cake ink and then sponged around the edges with Petal Pink ink.

For the frame I used Early Espresso cardstock and after cutting and embossing I used the new Delicata Metallic Copper ink to sponge all over the embossing to create that antique feel and used dimensionals to attach the frame.  For the artwork inside the frame I used the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.

To finish off the card I added a bow tied with Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and then added the greeting using the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set and stamped with Basic Black ink on Crumb Cake cardstock and then cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies before attaching it with dimensionals.

This card reminds me of something I remember seeing at my grandparents house and love the soft colors and mix of textures.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing using this fun inspiration challenge and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create!

Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC345: Waterfront

Good morning,

We've hit the middle of the week and I have to admit, while I've enjoyed the quiet with Aidan being out of town, and love hearing about all his amazing experiences I will definitely be happy when he's home at the end of the week.  Today I'm playing along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge which is full of beachy fun, perfect for this time of year.  And since I have lots of friends celebrating birthdays right now I decided to use the Waterfront stamp set to build this wonderful tropical beach card.

I started with Pool Party cardstock for the cardbase and then added Soft Suede cardstock for the cardfront and embossed it with the High Seas 3D embossing folder before adding a strip of Terracotta Tile designer series paper from the 2019-2021 In Colors DSP stack.  I used some Whisper White Baker's Twine to wrap around the cardfront.

For the main stamped image I used some Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut out before building this beachy scene using the Waterfront stamp set.  This stamp set has lots of different images so you can build the scene that you need.

To finish off the card I added the greeting which is from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set and after stamping in Soft Suede ink on Pool Party cardstock I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies and attached it with dimensionals.

This card takes you right to that sandy beach and just relaxing, which would be a perfect way to celebrate your birthday.  Make sure to check out the other design team cards and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create.
