If you are new to Stampin' Up! you may not know that this is an exciting time - the launch of the new Annual Catalogue - and with the launch comes new ink colours!! Every year we get five new inks colours, these colours are only available for two years. Here is my new catalogue - check out all the tabs where I have marked the products I have on my wish list:) If you would like a catalogue, let me know and I will get one to you. The new in-colours are Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia. The In-colours are avilable in ink, cardstock, embellishments, ribbon and Designer Series Paper. I made these cards to showcase the new colours along with the ribbon and embellishments. I used one of the new stamp sets to create the cards - Spiral Die - I love the bold pattern and the stamp is only $23 which is an amazing price point. Check out my online store on May 4 to get your hands on the new In-colours and all the other amazi...
I will be honest that I did not initially fall in love with the Darling Donkeys, but as soon as I started using the stamp set I could not stop! Todays project includes two FREE sale-a-bration items - Flowers & Fields DSP and of course the Darling Donkey stamp set.
The Flowers and Fields DSP has some lovely patterns and of course they all coordinate with the fabulous Stampin' Up! inks and cardstock. For this card I used Cherry Cobbler for the cardbase - I have not used this colour for a long time, it coordinates beautifully with this DSP pattern. I also did a simple fancy fold - cut 1.5" off the bottom of the cardbase and then another 2" strip which you can discard. The stitched oval holds the bottom piece in place.I stamped one of the donkey images using Memento ink and then used the Stampin' Blends to colour the donkey - for this one I used the crumb cake duo blends and real red. To add some sparkle I brushed on some wink of stella on the donkey - which you can't see in the picture.
I fussy cut out the donkey image and layered it to the stitched oval and stamped the sentiment in cherry cobbler on a piece of very vanilla.
I used the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine to cut out the oval, if you don't have the machine you can use the 2" strip you cut off and use that instead of the black oval. Check out the product list below - everything you need to make lots of these cards and get the DSP and stamp set for free! I have added the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine and the stitched metal dies to the product list just in case you want those too - this will result in you getting even more free products!!
