craftykarendesigns: Two for Tuesday

Hi Everyone,

Today is the start of a mini series of projects to show how different stamp sets can look by just changing up the colour scheme. I thought that with the new Stampin' Up Colour Refresh, this was an ideal time to show how some of the different colours work together, some old ones that you would never have thought of combining; some new ones; a bit of mix and match. By changing up the colours, you can also change the mood of a card and use for different occasions. Today I am using the Bottled Happiness stamp set that has stayed with us and is in the New Annual Catalogue. Which one do you prefer?

Materials

1 piece of card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" for the card base (basic grey/starry sky)

1 piece of card stock 4" x 5 3/4" for the layer (coastal cabana/sweet sorbet)

2 pieces of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Coastal Cabana ink

Shaded spruce ink

Basic grey ink

Starry sky ink

Cherry Cobbler ink

Sweet Sorbet ink

Bottled Happiness stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Instructions

On the long side score the card base at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish.

Add the coloured layer to the card front.

This is a two step stamp, so choose which colour you want for each layer, stamp one and then line the second one up in the other colour and stamp over the top. Stamp this image in the centre of your basic white card. Try and line it up as best you can, as you can see, mine is slightly off when you look closely but it's not noticeable on the finished card really.

Stamp the bottle so that it fits in the centre of the bunch of flowers - there's a space for it if you have stamped it in the right way, see the picture.

Add a sentiment to the front and then adhere this piece to the card front.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white and add to the inside of the card.

A quick and easy card that can be made up in lots of different colours for all sorts of occasions. Give it a try with this or any other stamp set of your choice.
