Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Of Art & Texture in Pinks and Purples

December 2, 2024December 1, 2024 ~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa was the final one before we start making Christmas cards.

I chose a colour scheme and design that was far from festive!

My colour combination was picked from the new Color Coach, part of the Online Exclusives range. It uses analogous colours, colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.

The colours were Melon Mambo, Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Bubble Bath. I also added the In Color of Pretty in Pink along with Very Vanilla.

Using the Of Art & Texture Stamp Set, also from the Online Exclusives range, the various images were stamped in the colours.

A Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink ink were then used to add some additional colour around the edges for a slightly grungey feel.

Coordinating Baker’s Twine in Very Vanilla from the Essentials Combo Pack was used across the project with a frayed knot at the join.

The Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set and Punch provided the outline for the sentiment, with the Simply Said Stamp Set providing the words. This sentiment piece was raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, Melon Mambo Glossy Dots were added for a touch of bling.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Of Art & Texture Online Exclusive

March 18, 2024March 17, 2024 ~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used a Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives range.

I’d been asked for a card suitable for a man, so chose the Of Art & Texture Stamp Set and the All That Dies to create this design.

I also chose a colour combination of the In Colors of Boho Blue and Pebbled Path, along with Misty Moonlight and Very Vanilla.

First, second generation stamping created the background.

Next, the various shapes were cut out and stamped.

The sentiment is from the Softly Said Stamp Set, another product from the Online Exclusives range.

A length of coordinating Boho Blue ribbon is added to the background piece.

Then, the various shapes are stuck to the project, with the banner edges stuck to the sentiment.

The sentiment piece is raised up on Dimensionals to add some extra depth.

Finally, coordinating In Color Dots in Pebbled Path are dotted across the project.

This design is great to recreate in different colours and for any occasion. It also works up very quickly and easily too. Why not make a few and have some in your card stash, ready to send when needed.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Of Art & Texture Stamp Set

February 19, 2024February 18, 2024 ~ Karen Young

For last week’s Card & Cuppa project I used an Online Exclusives Stamp Set called Of Art & Texture.

It is based on a project I made many years ago, just using new products.

My main colours are Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White.

The background uses one of the images from the Of Art & Texture stamped multiple times. This is a Stamp Set from the Online Exclusives Range.

Tiny flowers from the Heartfelt Hexagon Stamp Set are then stamped across the background. They are then coloured using Tahitian Tide and Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends. Wink of Stella gives a touch of sparkle to the centre of each flower.
