We Fall in... Colours Blog Hop - October 2020

Hi crafters,

It's the turn of the We Fall In... Colours team to share our passion for creativity through colour in our monthly blog hop.  If you've hopped from Belinda's great post, you are on the right track.  There is a full list of participants at the end of this post.  

This month's colours are Real Red, Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss.  I broke out a new stamp set and used Today's Tiles.  This stamp set is featured in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.  I wasn't sure about it at first but after having a little play, I'm totally in love!  I can't wait to make more projects with this versatile stamp set.  There are also co-ordinating dies available but I haven't used them for this project.  

I created a card base from Thick Whisper White cardstock and then used a panel of Whisper White cardstock to stamp the main image from the Today's Tiles stamp set.  I applied the three inks - Real Red, Crushed Curry and Blackberry Bliss using sponge daubers.  The Stamparatus is a must have tool for two-step stamping.  I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies to cut out the panel and the sentiment.  The greeting was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.  I've created a clean and simple design to allow the tiles to really pop.  

I hope you have been enjoying our colours for this month's blog hop.  To keep hopping, click the next button below to head to Sigrid's wonderful post.  

Happy crafting,

We Fall In...Colours Blog Hop

Hi Crafters,

It's time to hop again with a Blog Hop from the We Fall In... Colours team.  We are an international group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who love to share our passion for creativity through colour.  If you've hopped from Conni's blog, you are on the right track.  There is a full list of participants at the end of this post too.  

This month's colour challenge features Sahara Sand, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss.

I started by making a Sahara Sand card base from half a sheet of A4 cardstock.  I created a panel from Whisper White cardstock and cut the tiny butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty dies in Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Sahara Sand cardstock arranging in a waterfall pattern.  I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the panel to draw attention to the sentiment.  The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Sahara Sand cardstock and cut out using the Layering Circle Dies .  I added a circle of vellum cardstock behind my sentiment to make it stand out using the same circles dies.  

To keep hopping, head to Melanie's blog for more inspiration featuring this month's colour theme of Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Sahara Sand.  

Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends - Stamper's Choice

Hi Crafters,

We have another fabulous hop from the Global Stamping Friends and this month we are being let loose with a theme of Stamper's Choice.  This means we can go wild with whatever we decide to create.  

I have not one but two cards for you.  I used one background die to create both cards.  When I saw the Florentine Bundle in the new Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer catalogue, I just fell in love!  

I didn't actually use any of the Florentine stamps on either of my cards - there's time for that yet!  I have so many ideas and never enough time!

For my first card, I attached a piece of Double Sided Sticky Sheet to an A5 piece of Whisper White cardstock and then cut out the background die, saving the negative pieces into a pot on my craft desk.  I took off the backing to expose the adhesive and sprinkled with Copper embossing powder and then melted the powder with my Heat Tool.  I used a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock and then scrunched it up to create crease lines.  I ran a Merry Merlot ink pad over the cardstock to create a distressed look.  

I didn't want to cover too much of the background so I stamped in Merry Merlot and die cut three of the sprigs from the Dear Doily Bundle.  I added a Coastal Cabana sentiment panel using one of the rectangles from the new Stitched Rectangle Dies and stamped my greeting in Merry Merlot from the Filigree Florentine stamp set.  

My second card features those pieces that were saved from the background.  In hindsight I should have embossed all the pieces at once but I did this separately for each card.  

I cut another background and secured it with removable tape to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  I added glue to the open areas and then placed the pieces back into the gaps.  Once these were all in place, I removed the template background and then peeled off the sticky backing and added Copper embossing powder.  When heating, I put extra heat in some places to make the powder bubble on the Double Sided Stick Sheet. 

The topper was made using the Floral Frames Thinlits Dies cut from vellum.  I cut the word amazing from the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies and added this on top using Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  I stamped a sentiment from the Forever Lovely stamp set and cut out the word You to complete the sentiment.  I found that the stamped sentiment worked better when the letter were all in the same case.  I know I shouldn't have favourites but I really love how this card turned out!

Let me know what you think of this technique and what else you'd like to see featured in upcoming posts.  I love to know if there is a technique you're itching to try but don't know how to start.

Happy crafting,
Rachel
