Stamptastic Friends Share Favorites

Today, the Stamptastic Friends community is showcasing an eclectic mix of card designs. While some members are bidding farewell to retiring favorites, others are unveiling fresh picks set to debut on May 1st.

As for my contribution, I’m blending the retiring with a new stamp set. It’s delightful to witness the seamless integration of our offerings across different catalogs.

Encircled in Nature, an online exclusive, takes center stage in my project. It’s harmoniously coupled with the Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper, which, although nearing its retirement, still has much to offer.

Encircled in Nature

Here’s a handy tip for crafting the wreath: After die-cutting the wreath and floral elements, let them remain nestled within the paper. This little trick simplifies and accelerates the coloring process.

 

Measurements:

Card Base 8 ½” x 4 ¼” Score at 4 ¼”.

Cardstock 4 1/8” x 4 1/8”

Designer Series Paper 4” x 4”

Stamping Diversity Celebrates Ramadan

Stamping Diversity Bloggers are sharing cards for Ramadan today. I chose to focus on Eid for my card.

Eid al-Fitr, also known as the “Holiday of Breaking the Fast,” is one of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. It holds immense significance for Muslims worldwide as it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting period of Ramadan. This joyous occasion is observed under various names in different languages and countries across the globe. One of its alternative names is “Lesser Eid.”

The festivities of Eid al-Fitr commence at sunset on the night of the first sighting of the crescent moon.

To capture the essence of this special day, I’ve adorned my card with a moon and a sprinkling of stars. Sometimes, simplicity speaks volumes, and this card beautifully captures the spirit of the occasion. 

I opted for a soothing blue color palette and infused a hint of gold to add vibrancy. The fun banner adds a touch of whimsey.

Celebrating diversity is a beautiful thread that binds us together. Crafting cards allows me to express this joy, and I’m delighted to share it with you!

Color Challenge for Stamping with Friends

Hues of Happiness

One of the joys of Stampin’ Up! is the spectrum of colors it offers. From deep, vibrant hues to gentle pastels, there’s something for every mood. In today’s Stamping with Friends blog hop, we’re diving into a palette of my preferred vivid shades.

 

I reached for the Paper Florist dies and crafted a bright floral arrangement for my card’s front. To really make the colors stand out, I incorporated some black patterned DSP. Looking at this card, I’m transported to a tropical paradise—would you like to come along?

Though the design of this card is straightforward, it certainly doesn’t lack impact. Why not pick out some of your cherished colors and fashion a floral display of your own? 

Don’t forget to follow the links below for a journey through more chromatic creativity.

Wishing you a day filled with vibrant stamping adventures.
