Today we're creating Another Lovely & Quick Card Created with Stampin'Up! Artistically Inked Stamps & Dies. Tuesday we created a stunning card using black as our contrast...if you missed it check it out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2022/10/spectacular-quick-easy-card-with-stampinup-artistically-inked-stamps-ddes.html.

Today we're switching to white die cut...here's today's card...

...and a bit closer to check out the focal point...

Tuesday's card was a rather uniform background color. Today we're using the Hues of Happiness designer paper and these colors graduate through the rainbow. The section we used as our background uses the deep deep pink flowing into the dark rich yellows. 

A black die cut would have been quite pretty but we decided to switch to white because with this designer paper we got a bit more contrast with the white. We also changed the butterfly to white.

Instead of using the Champagne rhinestones we are useing the Iridescent Rhinestones...these are absolutely stunning because they tend to change color somewhat to match or coordinate with the color they are set on. With the gem cut stones they catch the light and send out beautiful little twinkles.

Agian, this is another one of those card designs that would work well with most of the designer papers in this Hues of Happiness stack. What a fun set of cards you can create simply switching the designer paper behind the die cut.

Stop back next week and see what we're creating then!

I'll give you step by step directions below followed by the supply list.

Today we're going to create a Spectacular Quick & Easy Card with Stampin'Up! Artistically Inked Stamps & Dies. I needed a beautiful card for a special person and I didn't have but a few minutes---and this is the card I created....

and  bit closer look at the focal point...

The beauty of this floral die is really hard to beat...using it is all you need for your central focus...using the black cardstock for the die cut layered on top of the designer paper from the Splendid Day set gives you that striking effect that highlights every detail in the die.  

We've added 3 large Champagne rhinestones to the center of the largest flower and medium ones to the center of 3 swirls...this color of rhinestone blends with many of our colors and appears to "match" perfectly. (Note: I've used it wtih Pumpkin Pie and Pale Papaya and this embellishment is also perfect with those colors.)

Then simply adding the sentiment and the little solid butterfly (Daffodil dies) completes the full effect.

It's hard to beat this card for beauty, simplicity and a short amount of construction time! It's a wonderful one to have in your stash ready to go!

Stop back by Thursday and see what we've done again with this set of dies.

I'll give you step by step directions below followed by the supply list.

Today we're Creating a Dazzling Card with Stampin'Up! Soft Seedling Stamp Set! Tuesday we used this set in creating a very quick multi-colored(but non-coloring) image. If you missed it check it out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2022/09/quick-multi-color-stamping-with-stampinup-soft-seedlings-stamp-set.html

Here's today's card...

and a closer look at the details..

For those of you who aren't in love with coloring or even the "non-coloring" multi-colors used on Tuesday's card...this card is for you! 

Simply ink up this single stamp with Versamark, sprinkle with Gold embossing powder and heat---that's it--the result is absolutely stunning! Simple, quick and easy.

The two gold layers are achieved with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper which has recently become one of my favorite accent papers---there's a bit of the shiny foil and then it's toned down with the distressing...just simply a beautiful combo to bring some old-world elegance to a modern image.

Stop back next Tuesday and see what wonderful project we're creating next week!

Today we're exploring Quick Multi-color Stamping with Stampin'Up! Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. This beautiful stamp set features the maple leaf which is my favorite of all leaves. This stamp has the shading built in along with the most exquisite detailing in the leaf veins. Although we aren't using any of the greetings in our card toay the font included in this set is just perfect--a bit casual & flowing--just beautiful.

Here's our card for today...

and a bit closer look at the details in the stamped image...

Now that we've discussed the features of this lovely stamp...here's how we managed to use 2 colors to get the deeper Cajun that flows into the rich Pumpkin Pie. I first inked the entire stamp with Pumpkin Pie ink. Then with a dauber inked with Cajun Craze apply ink onto the stamp around the edges only....now stamp on Very Vanilla cardstock and WOW what a stunning colored image.

Layering the Pumpkin Pie cardstock on the Pale Papaya dramatizes the Cajun contrast and projects your focal point quite nicely.

Stop back next Tuesday and see another Perfect Partner in use!

Today we're creating Another Quick and Classy Card with Stampin'Up! Perfect Partners Fresh Cut Flowers Stamps & Dies. Tuesday we used the large bouquet--if you missed it check it out here https://www.sandilovesstamping.com/2022/09/quick-design-with-stampinup-perfect-partners-fresh-cut-flowers-stamps-dies.html.

Today we're using one of the smaller bouquets and with some additional accent pieces...

Here's today's design:

And a bit closer to the focal point...

We used a set of concentric circles (Layering Circles dies) to cut the central gold wreath from Gold Foil. This classic look can support a wide variety of focal points. We added the Evening Evergreen glimmer sprig and a smaller gold glimmer twig to bring the bouquet to life. The added small flower cut from Distressed Gold Designer Paper peeks out from behind for some added character.

The Vanilla/Gold ribbon was a perfect complement to the card base and we added a bit more twinkle wih the 3 Pool Party sequins which are my absolute favorites from the holiday mini.

Stop back by next week & see our next creation.

I'll give you step by step directions below followed by the supply list.
