In Color Cards

 


So glad to be back from vacation, just in time to welcome in our new Annual Catalog and our new 2023-25 In Colors. They are Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve and Pebbled Path. I decided to make the same card using each of the colors and that helped me have a better appreciation of all of them, though at this point Copper Clay is my favorite. I know that will change over time, but I will use it as my example for making this card. If you don't have a demonstrator that you are working with and would like a new catalog, shoot me an email at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. Also email me if you'd like information about my Paper Share for this catalog. 

Let's make this card! Gather your supplies 
1. Copper Clay cardstock (or whichever color you are using)--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 4 by 5 1/4". A scrap to cut the leaf.
2. Basic White cardstock--3 3/4 by 5" for the inside and a piece to cut the sentiment piece
3. 2023-25 In Color 6" by 6" DSP--cut 2 by 5 1/4"
4. Foursquare Decorative Masks
5. Stamp Sets--Earthen Textures and Lasting Joy
6. Dies--Nested Essentials and Earthen Textures
7. Ink--Copper Clay 
8. Textured Ribbon in Copper Clay
9. 2023-25 In Color Dots
10. Basic supplies--bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue),  Regular Dimensionals, Paper Trimmer, Glue Dots, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Blending Brush

Take the lined Foursquare Decorative Mask and lay it over the 4 by 5 1/4" piece of Copper Clay Cardstock. Using your Blending Brush, lay down a light layer of Copper Clay ink over the whole piece. For hints, watch my video from my Facebook live below, or watch it on YouTube at Stamp with Dr Robin. 

Cut the sentiment piece out of Basic White cardstock using the smallest of the diamond-ish shaped dies. Take the small basked stamp from the Earthen Textures set and after stamping off the ink twice, stamp it across the die cut--you may want to practice this on the back of your sentiment piece. You will have to stamp it 3 times (but remember to stamp off twice with each one) to fill it up. Stamp a sentiment from Lasting Joy (full strength) on top of this. 

Stamp the inside piece like this using the same 2 stamp sets and attach to the inside of the card. 



Attach the In Color DSP to the left side of the 4 by 5 1/4" piece above, letting about 1/4" show to the left of the DSP. Wrap the Textured Ribbon around it and tie a knot--this should cover the seam between the DSP and the cardstock. Now attach it to your card base. 

Attach the sentiment using Dimensionals. Use the Earthen Textures dies to cut a leaf from Copper Clay and attach with glue, slipping it behind the sentiment piece. Add a small and large 2023-25 In Color Dots and admire your card!

  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...
