Painter's Palette- Template Thursday-New In-Colors

Sweet Sugarplum

Peek a Boo Peach

Flirty Flamingo

Dapper Denim

   Every year Stampin'Up! comes out with some new in-colors.  These are colors that are trending in fashion and crafts.  These colors stay for 2 years so we have plenty of time to use them.  

   I found a card similar to this one on Pinterest that was created by Beth Rush.  I made it a square card so I could use the new Envelope paper to make a matching envelope.  

Emerald Envy

  Which color is your favorite?  I was drawn to Sweet Sugarplum at first, but now really like them all.  Wouldn't it be fun to be on the team that gets to name the new in-colors?

Come back tomorrow to see a unique way to use this stamp set and how to fix it in many different ways.

Painter's Palette-Wednesday Wow

What makes a card a WOW card?  For me it is if the stamp set is used in a way I never would have thought of.  When you look at the swishes in this stamp set do you think of a Christmas tree? Neither did I but Rebecca Scurr did.  I changed up a few things from her sample but kept the swishes the way she designed them.

One of the things I was so disappointed to find out it was leaving was the candy dots.  They were perfect accent pieces for cards that I was going to mail.  I tried to stock up on them so I could still use them, but some of the color families went fast.  I have ordered the new enamel shapes to see what they look like and hope I will like them as well as I have liked the candy dots.

Come back tomorrow to see how one card template can change by changing just the colors.

Painter's Palate-Technique Tuesday, Stampin with Bleach

  Do you wonder how the flower became yellow when it was stamped and embossed on Night of Navy card stock? 

Well, bleach is the answer.  In this card a blender pen was dipped in bleach and painted onto the embossed petals on the flower.  It was painted until all the color was bleached out of the petal so the paper looked white.  Then markers were used to color in the petals.

  For today's card I stamped the swirl image from the Painter's Palate stamp set and made it look like the strings on a balloon.  I got the idea from looking at a card that Kathryn Mangelsdorf made and posted on Pinterest.  Only I took it a step further by using bleach as an ink.

1. Place several layers of paper towel in a flat container.

2. Press your stamp on the paper towels using them as an ink pad.  Stamp off once to get excess bleach off the stamp.

3. Press your stamp onto the punched out  balloons. I punched my balloons out of the new in-colors.

4. Once the card stock is dry you can finish your card.  The bleach totally changed the color of the card stock.

  I am thinking this will make a good technique video.  Look for my next Sushi's Stampin' Originals video on the first Tuesday of July.

  Come back tomorrow to see how you can use the Painter's Palette stamp set to make a Christmas card.

Painter's Palette-Miscellaneous Monday

  This looks like a card but is actually a wish list booklet that people got to make at my New Catalog Party.  I used the big swish from the Painter's Palette set and stamped it in each one of the new in-colors.  Now that I have used them quite a bit I have to say I really do not have a favorite.  The designer paper accent is from the paper stack called Playful Palette and coordinates really well with the stamp set.

Come back tomorrow to see how I use bleach with this really bold stamp set.
