Meet Polished Pink and Color and Contour

 Meet Polished Pink and Color and Contour 

Welcome to a sneak peak at the new In-Colors for 2021-23 as well as a new bundle, Color and Contour that will be debuting on May 4th in the new Stampin' Up Annual Catalog. The 2021-22 Annual Catalog is packed to the brim with wonderful new products and, as demonstrators we were able to order a select few early. I have to say that the Scalloped Contours Dies that are included in this bundle are one of my favorite items in this catalog, a must have in my opinion. You can see the largest one in every In Color peaking out from behind the stamped images in each card. Let's get going making this card.

First gather your supplies:
1. Whisper/Basic White card base cut 8 1/2 by 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" and folded
2. Whisper/Basic White 3 1/2 by 4 3/4"
3. Polished Pink cardstock 4 1/4 by 5 1/2" cut with the largest Scalloped Contours Dies
4. Color and Contour and Scalloped Contours Dies (bundle #158356)
5. Ink--Polished Pink
6. 2021-22 In Color Jewels (#155571)
7. Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder (#152718)
7. Basic supplies--bone folder, Dimensionals (regular), adhesive (I'd say Multipurpose Liquid Glue for this), Blender Brush

Start with the smaller piece of white cardstock and use the Polished Pink ink for everything. Take your Blender Brush and start in the center right and make bigger and bigger circles, laying down more ink in the center and fading out as you work outwards. Be patient as you will have to build up the color. For a better feel on how to do this, watch my Facebook Live below. Then stamp the largest stamp over the colored part and a sentiment (don't you love the sentiments in this set) in the whiter area of the card. Using the dots, stamp them randomly around--some full strength and some don't re-ink the stamp and stamp again. I just love when a stamp set has some cool background stamps like the dots! See a close-up below. Then run this whole piece through your Cut and Embossing machine using the Tasteful Textiles 3D embossing Folder.


Now you are ready to assemble the card. Attach your card base to the Polished Pink piece cut from the largest Scalloped Contour Dies. Fold your card base in half and attach the above piece with Dimensionals--you will need a lot of them. Then add one big and one small of the pink In Color Jewels and you are done. 

This is the card I made on the Facebook Live that's attached--it's a little different as you can see.



And here are some close-ups of the same card made with the other In Colors.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...

Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below.   Let's make this card. Gather your supplies:  1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8" 2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5...
