Stamping with Friend Color Challenge


Hi, Stamping Friends! Welcome and thank you for joining me for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop! If you are new to my blog, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who share our love of card making with you through monthly blog hops with various themes. If you are following the hop, then you'll have just popped over from Tricia Butts of Tricia's Stamping Creations blog. I hope you took a minute to leave a comment for her as I'm sure she'll appreciate it just as much as I will. If you are starting the hop with me, thank you so much and I hope you enjoy what I and the other hoppers have prepared for you today!

 


The theme of this hop is a color challenge. A color challenge is designed to take colors that may be on the surface but just don't seem to coordinate and challenge you to use your creativity and incorporate them.  The chosen palette for this hop features these colors: Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet, Mango Melody, and Pacific Point.
All of these colors together scream beach/ocean to me and it all jived with my Stamp 'n SIP class this month in which I focus on scene-building. So take a look at what I created for you.

So I first stamped and masked the woman image from the "In the Moment" set.  Then, using the Oceanfront set, I first started with the "sky".  I used Mango Melody and Sweet Sorbet.  I added the Mango Melody to the entire image, then using a sponge dauber, I "dabbed" spots of Sweet Sorbet to try to show shades and highlights. Next using the same process, I added Tahitian Tide and "dabbed" in Pacific Point to create the ocean. 

I then colored the feminine image using the Stampin' Blends in Mango Melody and Sweet Sorbet and the deck with Crumb Cake.  I colored her wine with a Nuvo Glitter maker,

I die cut the image using the Stylish Shapes dies then added a Calypso Coral mat layer. 

I next broke out the Waves of the Ocean DSP which I've been hoarding, cut it to a 3 3/4" x 5" panel; cut it in 2, (dimensions are completely up to you), and mounted that on a piece of Basic White that was a 1/8" bigger.  I had a scrap strip of Pacific Point so I adhered that to the join to complete the panel.  To finish it off, I mounted the assembled image panel to an A2 size card base of Pacific Point. 

Soooo...what do you think?  Will you try this card?  If you do, please share it with me on my Facebook page

I hope you enjoy our hop today, don't forget to leave a comment for each of the hoppers. Every non-demonstrator that leaves a comment on my blog today, will be entered into a drawing to receive this card...just for stopping by.  Drawing will be held one week from today-6/25/22 over on my Facebook page. Hope to see you there!

Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is? Yup, you guessed it...masking!  There're so many things you can do with this technique from: simple masking to creating seamless backgrounds and adding depth...hmmm, I think I've decided to do a blog series focusing on the different things you can do with masking.

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
