November 15, 2018

Alrighty! My favorite Christmas Color combo at the moment so I had to play along. Of course as I got going I added a little pink alright a lot of Petal Pink but you can see the foundation. #ctd519

I’m loving this candy cane punch from Candy Cane Season stamp set and have decided to use it on all of my holiday tags. Full list of supplies can be found below.

Eat Cake & Celebrate - CTD384

Eat Cake & Celebrate #ctd384

Why not?! Let me introduce you to another cool card making weekly challenge via my card sample entry. The folks over at Color Throwdown have been doing their color challenge for a LONG time.  It looks like every week is a new color combination to try out. I am so into these card challenges lately ... more great reasons to craft!

Check out this Color Throwdown combination: #ctd384 #colorthrowdown - more details about their weekly challenge and inspiration can be found on their blog here.

Of course I needed to interpret these colors using SU inks. Turns out it is a great opportunity to pull out a couple retired Stampin' Up! Colors; Poppy Parade, Lucky Limeade and Wisteria Wonder (still current). I never get rid of any of my retired ink and I am so glad. If I were to use current colors I would of used: Wisteria Wonder, Real Red, Cucumber Crush.

My card uses the Eat Cake & Celebrate stamp set from Concord & 9th. Ribbon is a retired product from Stampin' Up! and the number 14 embellishment is from Studio Calico. FYI - Concord & 9th is a newer paper crafting company founded by a couple of awesome former coworkers. Their products rock! You can buy all of their products directly from them.

I used the candle image from the set and stamped it repeatedly to get 14 candles (this card is for a certain teen turning 14 soon). Then I colored and sketched random patterns in each candle image. I wanted every candle to be a little bit different. I filled in each flame with a little dazzling details glitter glue.

A white wedding card with a little black tie! This card is so much prettier in person. I had such a difficult time trying to photograph the white irridescent foil on the Basic White Cardstock. I used layers of white ribbons, vellum, cardstock, and foil to create this look. Card created for @stampinfancyfriday B&W challenge.

I’m not a blending brush expert. Ink blending takes patience, and time but when you stamp on top of it, you can hardly see the mistakes… ha! Spooky trick. I used a circle punch and post it note to create a simple mask and set to blending a moody night sky. Cards created using the ‘Oh My Fright’ stamp set for #gdp568 #ohmyfright #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakingreels
Teal or purple?! Both are great for a spooky background. 

Colors used: 
Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock 
Fresh Freesia and Berry Burst

I can't decide if I have a favorite?  The greeting and bat images are from the 'Oh My Frights' Halloween stamp set

I used hot foil to create this card and a second card with the leftover negative foil from the hot foil die. Two for one! There’s something just so satisfying about peeling the foil away from the card stock. Foil is Light Pink. Foil die is called: GARDEN SILHOUETTE HOT FOIL DIE #stampinup #cardmaker #hotfoil #gardensilhouettehotfoildies
