In-Color Club August 2021 - Polished Pink

 

I'm not really a pink kinda girl and thought this was a little too bright for my taste - but I actually loved the way these two cards came out.  






Base card: Basic White 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 
Polished Pink panel 4 x 5 1/4 
Very Vanilla 3x4
Basic Black 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 
Scraps:  Basic White, Basic Black
Ink - Polished Pink

Timeless Tropical Stamps
In the Tropics Dies
Paintyed Texture embossing folder


  • Die cut "aloha" from Basic Black
  • Color the palm trees with the appropriate Stampin' Write Markers and then die cut with coordinating die.
  • Apply Polished Pink ink to the inside of the embossing folder (the side with the logo) insert Polished Pink panel.  Run through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine. 
  • Layer all as in sample. I adhered the top part of the trees with Dimensionals and the bottom part with glue.







Base card: Polished Pink 4 1/4 x 11. Score at 5 1/2 
Scraps:  Basic White, Basic Black
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black

Timeless Tropical Stamps
In the Tropics Dies
Ornate Layers Dies


  • Die cut the largest of the rectangles from the Ornate Layers dies from Basic Black cardstock and the smaller from Basic White cardstock. Stamp sentiment with black ink on the right side of the white rectangle
  • Heat emboss the large flower from the Timeless Tropical stamp set with black ink (I use Versafine Black) and clear powder. Die cut with coordinating die and then color with Polished Pink Stampin' Blend markers.
  • Layer all as in sample. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around the die cut white rectangle and then adhered to the black rectangle. I then wrapped a piece of ribbon around the black and white together before adhering to the base card. The three black dots are Matte Black Dots.

Our  Featured Artist for the July 2021 Stampers Club is Bonnie Reid. The paper she was provided was Sahara Sand, Basic White, Basic Black, Soft Succulent and Pansy Petals DSP,
 Bonnie made two beautiful cards this month. To the first she added two of the new In-Colors - Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent and the Sweet as a Peach DSP. For her second card with the cool fold she added a butterfly from Butterfly Brilliance. Thanks Bonnie for sharing your creativity! 







The card for this month's club was probably one of the easiest I've ever created for any of my card clubs.  Great technique for a quick and easy card and a great way to utilize all of those embossing folders that most of us have in our stash of goodies.

  • Cut a label from the Painted Label dies and stamp sentiment with Sahara Sand ink.
  • Cut another label from Sahara Sand cardstock and cut in half horizontally and adhere to the back of the stamped sentiment, creating a border.
