Colour Creations - Crushed Curry

Our feature colour this week is Crushed Curry, in the regals family. I'm sure there will be lots of inspiration shared on this blog hop, so make sure you spend the time checking them out. We are all Stampin' Up! demonstrators and members of Art With Heart.

This colour is one of the more challenging ones, and I decided that a little could go a long way!

Night of Navy is a great contrast for any yellow so that became the base with a matt of Crushed Curry. Timeworn Type is a new 3D embossing folder in the July-December mini catalogue, part of the Harvest Meadow Suite. I inked up the folder by smearing the ink pad across, but the first card was too darkly coloured, so this is the 2nd pass through the machine.

After deciding on which label to stamp, I had to work out an arrangement of flowers to surround it. I do have a lot of Pierced Blooms already pre-cut, but invariably, need a different colour.

With the Basic Borders dies and a leftover piece of inked, embossed card, a fancy edge was cut and added inside.

Our next talented creator is the gorgeous Kate Morgan, who celebrated her birthday this week.

Using Patterned Paper 'In Symmetry'

Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper (the beautiful pattern papers) are really good quality double-sided papers which usually co-ordinate with a stamp set, and maybe dies too when you're lucky. In Symmetry doesn't have any dies, just a border punch. Sweet Symmetry DSP is similar to folk art on one side of the papers, but more subtle on the reverse.

The DSP gives you a starting point with colour co-ordination, and you know you can use any of the papers and they tend to go together happily. This style above is a favourite of mine for showing off papers. It is a basic card front size (10cm by 14cm) sliced diagonally from corner to corner with opposing triangles flipped over. It's an easy but lovely way to show off two sides of the paper.

The other style is a mix of the papers cut 4.5cm by 6cm, and shuffled about to get pleasing combinations of three.

These cards were dressed up a little more with extra stamping, heat embossing and the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

The large flower from In Symmetry fits the Stitched So Sweetly label rather nicely.

That's just two ways to cut your patterned papers to make lovely cards using one pack of paper. There are many other ideas you can use, and twenty different packs of paper to choose from in the Annual catalogue and the mini June-December catalogue.

Maybe you are wanting to stock up on crafting goodies? There has never been a better time than now. Select $235 worth of Stampin' Up! products from either catalogue and pay only $169, including shipping, catalogues and business supplies. Then you get to add a bundle which you choose yourself too and add to your starter kit.

With the most expensive bundle being worth $104.25, you are potentially able to order $339.25 worth of products and still pay $169 total.

I would love to have you in my team, most of the crew would consider themselves "shoppers with a discount" (discount starts at 20%) but you can take this business further if you wish. We have a private Facebook page where we share what we are making and get to know each other a little better. Even if you have been in my team (or someone else's) before and have dropped, there is still room for you now. Reach out if you want to know more and check this page for some more questions answered.

Handmade For You

Today I inked up two stamp sets which hadn't seen ink before - Stitchery and Handmade For You. It was Melbourne's 202nd day in lockdown, but I'm getting through by scheduling blocks of activities. So a little stamping in the morning, then a walk. Lunch and some sewing in the afternoon, so stamps that cross over into my other interests always make their way home with me.

The colours were decided by a Colour INKspiration challenge on Facebook.

The quilt I am making at the moment is a queen bed size, with a background similar to the Fresh Freesia (soft mauve) and very bright vibrant fabrics by Kaffe Fassett. It will be a gift for a family member, so a card to go with it will not be wasted.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the stitching, and stepped it after each stamping to get an even distance between. The three flowers across the bottom were also stamped using the step stamping on the Stamparatus. To keep the stitched theme I've used the Pierced Blooms Dies.
