Colour Creations Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray

Posted in Cards by

This week’s Colour Creations featured colour is Basic Gray, a colour I often overlook but which is such a versatile colour. And I love it with Fresh Freesia, which I have used for my cards today.

My first card is very simple, with the tree image from Happy Hedgehogs stamp set, stamped in Basic Gray and the butterfly in Fresh Freesia.

I’ve then stepped the card up by colouring the tree with Stampin’ Blends. Yes, you can colour with Stampin’ Blends when the outline image is stamped with a waterbased ink, as long as you don’t blend the outline ink. I don’t use the brush end of the Stampin’ Blends for this, and keep the colouring very simple.

I have used Stampin’ Blends in Fresh Freesia, Daffodil Delight (for the flower centres) and Shaded Spruce. I’ve also added a strip of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper in Fresh Freesia behind the main panel, and added some silver dots for some bling.

My second card also features the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set, this time the cute little birdie.

The card base is Basic Gray again for this card, and for the background, I have used one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush and Basic Gray ink, very lightly brushed on to create a subtle background.
The bird is stamped in Basic Gray and coloured in the same way as the second card. The circles were Die cut using the unfortunately retired Stitched Shapes Dies.

We made these cards today in my monthly Card Class, which was a lot of fun.

Next along in our Blog Hop is the talented Tina Gillespie.

Happy stamping, and happy hopping,
Chris

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Online Class

Posted in Cards, Online Class by

Here are the three cute cards I made during this morning’s Facebook Live Online Class on my business page. I kept the cards fairly simple and the video isn’t too long. I get frustrated with watching long vids, so I’ll be keeping mine as short as possible.
If you missed it, the live video is here.

The precut and organised card kits are available free to anyone who places an order of $45 or more (shipping extra) on this link before midnight on Sunday 16th July 2023 (Australian orders only). Stampin’ Up! policy does not allow me to add any stamped images, but as you can see, these would work with almost any stamp set you have in your stash. And since everything is cut and ready to go, all you have to do is stamp and put your cards together.

Along with the items listed below, I have used Pecan Pie and Night of Navy ink, however I think you could use almost any colour to stamp your images.
I hope you enjoy the creativity of making cards without having to do all the cutting and measuring.

Please contact me if there is anything you would like more information about, and please make sure you using the Host Code YGQHMWSB when you place your order. Also don’t forget the Earn and Redeem promotion, with details below.
Happy stamping,
Chris

Stampin’ Up! Happy Hedgehogs Panelled Card

Posted in Cards by

My card today is one of three that I will be making during tomorrow’s Facebook Live, which is happening on my Facebook Business page at 11am AEST (Sydney, Australia time).
I will be making this card and two other’s featuring the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set, which is my featured stamp set for this week.
This is the first of an ongoing series of online events which I plan to do every week at the same time, each week featuring a different stamp set. And because it’s the first time I am running it this way, I am feeling a little anxious and nervous.
You will also have the opportunity to get the card kits to make these three cards, along with three more of the same (so 6 cards in all) as a free gift when you spend $45 or more using this link to my online store.
The six card kits will be sent out to you by early next week, and all the kits are precut and organised so that all you have to do is the fun part!
You can always come back and watch the Facebook live again once you have received your kits, to see how I made the cards.
If you don’t have this stamp set, you can use what you already have, or use the link above purchase it.
I will also post up the three cards late tomorrow with a list of the items I have used to make them.

I do hope you will join me live tomorrow morning.
Happy Stamping,
Chris
