Ready for a floral, feminine birthday card created with Stampin’ Up!’s new In Good Taste Suite?  It’s Sunday, and time to play with The Paper Players!

This week, the talented Jaydee is hosting a Tic Tac Toe challenge, and what fabulous choices she has for us! I couldn’t resist playing with the new In Good Taste Suite from Stampin’ Up! to create this floral, feminine birthday card! I hope you will join us in our challenge this week.  I can’t wait to see what you create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I LOVE creating with suites, and the new In Good Taste Suite is no different! With its photographic images and visual textures, the In Good Taste designer series paper collection can be used to create cards which range from masculine and industrial to flirty and feminine, as is the case with this card.  The floral image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set was colored using Petal Pink and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends, with a little Rococo Rose ink sponged over the top. The sparkly centers were created using Shimmery Crystal Effects to which more glitter was added.  The wooden leaves, from the In Good Taste elements, were given an upgrade by using a sponge dauber inked with Rococo Rose, which was then dipped in Frost White Shimmer Paint.  A trio of Champagne rhinestones add even more sparkle.

As you can see, the leaves were stamped directly onto the designer paper, a technique which I often forget to use.  A Petal Pink organdy bow is the final feminine touch.

Clean and Simple Sympathy Card

, , , ,
Comments: 3

A clean and simple sympathy card in bright colors? What was Ann thinking? It’s time for another Festive Friday challenge.

clean and simple sympathy card

For this week’s challenge,  we are inspired by the First Day of Summer.  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion.  Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I selected sun, bright colors, and patterns from this week’s Inspo List.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips

I realize that most of us would not use bright colors for a sympathy card. I usually opt for serene colors in shades of green, with images of flowers, ferns and leaves.  But this card was created to celebrate the life of someone who was as vibrant as the color Poppy Parade.  I know she would have approved of my color choices and the sailboats, which were used to symbolize sailing off into the sunset, as well as her love of the water.  I know her husband will appreciate the symbolism…

clean and simple sympathy card

I inked up the Lilypad Lake sailboats for my focal point and used the High Seas 3D embossing folder as my background.  This set, with its coordinating dies, and the folder are retiring.  They are perfect for creating clean and simple cards.  Luckily if you do not own this set, there is still time to order it. The sentiment is from the Comfort & Hope set, and is accented by a trio of Champagne rhinestones.  Stampin’ Up! needed a sentiment like this, because sometimes there truly are no words.  Of course, this card could easily be transformed into ANY card you would like simply by changing the sentiment.
