Fab Colors

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #WednesdayChallenge   #FabFri166   Stampin' Up debuted their new 2019-2021 In Colors with the new catalog on June 1st. (I can't believe I just typed "2021." That seems so far away, doesn't it?) Those colors are Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posy.  I never thought of using these colors together--until I was challenged to do so by the Fab Friday Design Team. And so I did!

I have to admit that I CASEd the idea from Fab Friday design team member Brian King. I've been a bit stymied by the "Beauty Abounds" stamp set, so I pinned a bunch of examples on Pinterest. I love Brian's clean and simple design, so I tried it with the new In Colors and I think they work well together on this card. I stamped off the Rococo Rose twice because it is to much bolder than the Seaside Spray and Purple Posy. The Whisper White Layer is 3-3/4" by 5" and it's adhered to a 3-7/8" by 5-1/8" Pretty Peacock Card Stock mat. The card base is Terracotta Tile.

I stamped a sentiment from the "Varied Vases" stamp set in Pretty Peacock Ink onto Whisper White and cut it out with one of the Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered this to a scalloped Purple Posy Card Stock circle that i cut with a Layering Circles Die. I adhered this piece to the card with Stampn' Dimensionals.


For a finishing touch, I added four Basic Rhinestone Jewels, 'cause I like me some bling!

Thanks to the Fab Friday Design Team for challenging me to stamp outside my box and a special thanks to Brian for the inspiring design!

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ManicMonday   #simplestamping   If you're in a hurry to make a card, one of the quickest things to do is grab a two-step stamp set. What's that? Well, it's a stamp set that has two elements for each image--usually one for the outline and one for the filler. The "Vibrant Vases" stamp set is an adorable set that will help you make that quick card you need in a hurry!

I started with a basic layout--a 3-3/4" by 5" Whisper White Card Stock panel, a 3-7/8" by 5-1/8" Blueberry Bushel Card Stock mat, and a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base, cut lengthwise. Although it's not Protip Tuesday--I'll give you one today anyway. If you pre-cut and score your Thick Whisper White Card Stock card bases and your basic Whisper White 3-3/4" by 5" card stock panel, you'll have supplies at the ready when you're in a hurry (just sayin').

I stamped a sentiment from "Varied Vases" in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the bottom corner of the Whisper White panel. I stamped the solid vase image in Blueberry Bushel Ink, stamped off once, and then stamped the filigreed vase image on top. Where I "missed" a little bit, I used a Blender Pen to spread ink to the white space. Hey! Another freebie Protip!

Next, I stamped the daisies in Tuxedo Black and filled in the flowers with the matching stamp using Daffodil Delight Ink. Again, I used a Blender Pen to fill in the parts I didn't quite get perfectly placed. I stamped the leaves in Granny Apple Green. I used a Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Marker to color the centers of the flowers.

I adhered the stamped panel to the Blueberry Bushel mat and tied on a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon before adhering everything to the card base.

That was easy, right? And you got two tips today--and it's not even Protip Tuesday. That's tomorrow, so come on back!

Birthday Vases

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   This week I'm featuring CAS (clean and simple) cards that I have CASEd (copy and share everything) from samples on Pinterest. If you want to see the cards that inspired me this week, check out my Pinterest board here.


I love the Varied Vases Bundle! It was inspired by Mary Fish, who is a million dollar Stampin' Up earner! Mary's style is classy CAS and she inspires me all the time with her creations! Today's cards were fun to make with the stamp set and Vases Builder Punch that comes in the bundle.

I started by punching vases with the Vases Builder Punch from Lovely Lipstick, Rich Razzleberry, and Melon Mambo Card Stock. Since each time I punched, I got three vases, I was able to quickly make three cards!


I used the Stamparatus to stamp the shelf and sentiment from the "Varied Vases" stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a 3-3/4" by 5" Whisper White Card Stock Card Base. I waited a bit for them to dry before adhering them to 3-7/8" by 5" Basic Black Card Stock mats and then onto Thick Whisper White Card Stock card bases.


I stamped the stem, leaf, and flower outlines free-hand onto the card and filled them in by stamping with the coordinating stamps in Melon Mambo and Garden Green Inks. Then I adhered the vases to the card in a still-life arrangement.

I made three cards in no time--and you can, too. Just click on the images below and you'll be taken directly to my online store where you can order the supplies to make these cards and more!

Abstract Vases

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   I've been sharing a series of cards made with the "Abstract Impressions" stamp set this week. (Check back at this week's blog posts if you've missed any.) I'm sticking with the abstract theme for today's card, but with a different stamp set. I received this card at a swap at the Proverbial Stampers & Friends new catalog gathering. It was made by Naomi Ruth.

Naomi started with a 3-3/4" by 5" Very Vanilla Card Stock panel. She stamped the outline vase images from the "Varied Vases" stamp set in Blueberry Bushel, Crumb Cake, and Call Me Clover in two rows across the panel. She also stamped the scalloped outline and the "happy birthday" sentiment in Blueberry Bushel. Next, she wrapped a length of Blueberry Bushel 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon around the panel before adhering it to a 3-7/8" by 5-1/8" Blueberry Bushel Card Stock mat. She then adhered everything to a Very Vanilla Card Stock card base.

Next, Naomi stamped each of the solid vases in Blueberry Bushel, Crumb Cake, and Call Me Clover onto Very Vanilla Card Stock. Naomi punched these out with the Vases Builder Punch and adhered them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Naomi's card is very clever! I love the design and these colors, don't you?
