With the beautiful colours of Colour Palette #23 I went with a fresh approach to the Earthen Textures bundle. This suite is, as it’s name says, more ‘earthy’ with the colours of the Designer Series Paper being rich browns, grays and more neutral colours.
Changing up the colours gives it a more vibrant look. My key element for this card is the Melon Mambo vase with some greenery. In the background I’ve added some masking with Balmy Blue which gave it a lovely soft texture. I just love our masks (or stencils as you may like to call it). These tools can be used in a variety of ways and they are such great value. We have 2 sets in our Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and 1 set in our September – December Mini Catalogue with a variety of designs.
The larger leaf in the background was blended with the 2 greens for some variation in colour. I really liked how these colours coordinated with the Melon Mambo vase. To cool down the warm colours a matte layer of Balmy Blue Cardstock and a DSP banner from A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper have been added.
This beautiful Designer Series Paper is our product give back for this year. For every paper pack sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $4.25 AngliCare’s Toys n’ Tucker in Australia. You can support this cause by purchasing a pack of this beautiful paper which coordinates with the Merriest Treest dies (#162047) and Beary Cute punch (#162022).
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Happy Sunday friends! Colour Palette #20 gave me a mediterranean feel and I waned to create a card with the look and textures that would encompass that theme.
The Earthen Elegance bundle made me think of markets. Perhaps it was something to do with me watching a production of Aladdin Jr. this past week,which my daughter Cassidy Stage Managed at her former school. I still have the songs, the detailed sets, the vibrant colours fresh in my memory.
The background panel was die cut with the largest Nested Essentials Dies, which I extended to form a larger die cut. Then I blended Cajun Craze ink using a Blending Brush so the panel was darker on one side fading to white.
Using the larger label shape from the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask I blended Cajun Craze and Wild Wheat over the die cut panel. This created an unusual abstract pattern.
I created a variety of leaves to add depth, texture and interest to the card. The fern was die cut from Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper and blended with Cajun Craze ink. I use this technique often as I like the texture that is already provided in the DSP. The smaller leaves were die cut from Basic White Cardstock using the Gorgeously Made dies and coloured with Lost Lagoon ink. This felt a bit stark so I sponged in some Cajun Craze to tone it in with the rest of the card.
Another set of leaves die cut from Distressed Gold Paper adds just a touch of opulence into this card. This works really well with Wild Wheat which has a gold tone to it (check out the image below).
When there is a lot of pattern and colours, a black sentiment panel brings it all together with a heat embossed sentiment.

Hello friends, Hope your week is going well and even better now that we are halfway through the week. For Colour Palette #19 I’ve got a pretty floral card for you using the Irrisistible Blooms Bundle.
I’ve used the sketch at Just Add Ink Challenges #662 as the base for my card. For the centre panel I’ve used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Sereies Paper and on top of this I added some flowers and leaves. Two strips of Basic White Cardstock embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder were added for the side panels.
The flowers were stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and then coloured in with Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink and coloured them in with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends and an Old Olive Watercolour Pencil.
I added a border along the bottom of the sentiment, which was fussy cut from Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. The black contrasts and stands out against the purple tones of the flowers.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get these coupons which you get to spend in August. Shop with me and when your order reaches $90 you also get 57 free tutorials this month to inspire your creativity.

My card today features the beautiful soft colours of Colour Palette #18. I have used the Inked & Tiled stamp set which has pretty botanical images with a pressed look. You can also purchase this stamp set as a bundle with a double punch pack.
To create this card I die cut 2 squares using the Stylish Shapes dies and stamped the images. The flowers were inked up in Pool Party and I used the Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Marker to colour directly onto the stamp before stamping. Then I blended some Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam ink on each of the squares.
I added a sheet of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper and used the front and back of it for the top and bottom half of the card. Then I die cut a border with the same DSP and blended some Soft Sea Foam to create some shadow.
I love how the layering of the stamped images creates this beautiful look and this card comes together very quickly. The burlap ribbon (I love it so much I’m on my 3rd roll!) just creates such a natural look to tie in with a Crumb Cake base.

For Colour Palette #17 I didn’t just go with the colours I was also inspired by the photo. What else ccould I use but the Cheerful Daisies bundle? There is an entire suite in our catalogue devoted to daisies. I’ve created some pretty Bubble Bath daisies for my card. I’ve been on a bit of a Bubble Bath daisies run. Check out my last card here.
Bubble Bath is a new addition to our colour range. My first impressions was ‘meh’ as I saw it in the catalogue. It’s a whole different story playing with it and I just love it. Sometimes you need to see the cardstock, paper, ink and work with it to really see what it’s like. Bubble Bath does not disappoint this lover of all thinks soft pink.
The dies and stamps coordinate in a variety of ways so you can create daisies with 1, 2 or 3 layers. I’ve used 2 layers of daises for this card. A beautiful embossed background on white makes this daisies pop.
Until 31st July when you spend $90 you will earn you a $9 Bonus Days coupon. So, ordering the Cheerful Daisies bundle will automatically qualify you for one. There’s no limit to how many coupons you can earn so shop now and redeem them in August.
