Baby Joy

I've set myself the task of using one of the new Christmas stamp sets in the latest Stampin' Up catalogue  - making one Christmas card and one non-Christmas card - this baby card is the result.


I did the ombre technique on a scrap of whisper white cardstock using so saffron, daffodil delight and crushed curry inks.  The new InColour ink bumblebee could have been used instead of crushed curry but I didn't have it at the time.  The largest joy die from the Peace & Joy Bundle was then used to cut the background, daffodil delight to cut out the middle-sized joy and whisper white for the 'skinniest' joy.  Goldilocks, three bears and porridge keep springing to mind when explaining these dies to my class attendees! 


Going through all my stamp sets to find something suitable for a baby card, I found a couple of sentiments from sunshine sayings.  One used here, was 'is on its way' and the other I could have used was 'bundle of'.

POINSETTIA PETALS STEP-BY-STEP

 







Poinsettia Petals Step-by-Step


When creating projects, it’s important to consider the abilities of every customer—from beginner to avid crafters. By using similar products and the same layout, creating a card for every crafter to replicate is simple (and fun!).
CASUAL
To begin creating, stamp the sprig images on the card front in Cinnamon Cider ink. Stamp the flower in Real Red ink and the leaves in Shaded Spruce ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Tip: To create depth, stamp off the Two-Step Stamping flower and leaf dimensional images. Die cut the stamped images and adhere them to the card front. Stamp the sentiment in Cinnamon Cider ink on a Whisper White Cardstock label, adhere the label to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, and you have a fabulously festive card in just minutes!
AVID
Step up the second card by adhering Designer Series Paper to the front. Brighten the poinsettia and leaves using Cinnamon Cider, Poppy Parade, Real Red, and Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blends. We also added a sprig cut from Copper Foil Sheets using the Poinsettia Dies. Tip: Fold the ribbon in half lengthwise before cutting the notches on each end.
STEPPED UP AVID
For our fanciest card, we adhered additional flowers and leaves, cut the label using the Tasteful Labels Dies, and added more Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper to the card front. We also took the artistry to an entirely new level by creating more light and dark contrast and expanding the colour palette with Mint Macaron and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
