Retiring In Colors Blog Hop

This time of year is so sad and exciting at the same time. We have to bid farewell to 5 amazing colors that we've come to love. My favorite color in this set is Pretty Peacock. I know...crazy right...it wasn't the Purple Posy.

So I grabbed the Pretty Peacock to use as an accent color on this card. Along with that, I also used Seaside Spray, which is retiring too. While these items are while supplies lasts...and I know quite a few are already gone...I would check out what's left. Even though they retire from the catalog doesn't mean they have to retire from your heart.

One of my favorite things about using the InColors is the fact that Stampin' Up! provides us with ribbons and accessories that will coordinate nicely with them. Here is the InColor ribbon...perfect match!

I paired up a few other hues with the InColor ones: Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, and Mossy Meadow.

For surely I will miss the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. The details in the florals made this set super easy to work with. One step stampin at it's finest.

I hope you enjoyed my card! Feel free to leave me a comment and don't forget to visit the other blog posts as well!

Have a great day! -Elizabeth

Stamparatus Technique

Today's blog hop features techniques using the Stamparatus. Yes...if you don't have one or two of these already, you will want one after we're done!

The technique I am showing you today I learned from Kelly Acheson at a demo only event last year. It's wonderful for when you're stamping multiple die cut images.

1) You'll cut out numerous dies for the images you want to stamp.

2) Also cut out die cut images in scrap piece of paper. Then you'll line up the stamps with the die cut "holes". Bring down your stamparatus plate and pick up the stamps. 3) Place unstamped die cut images in holes. Ink stamps and stamp.

4) Perfectly stamped images.

***I like to use washi tape for the corner area. Then if my scrap piece moves, I know where to line it back up and I don't have to realign my stamps.

For this card, I combined used the April SU! Colour (Color) Challenge as well. I really love Pretty Peacock and will be sad when it's gone and wanted to join this amazing color challenge.

Also used in this post is the Rooted in Nature stamp set and dies. These images are very nice images with some realism to them. If you don't have this set, I would recommend getting it before it's truly gone!

I hope you enjoyed my creation. Feel free to leave a comment below. I read them all and love to hear your thoughts. Don't forget to visit the other posts in this blog hop.

Have a great day!!! -Elizabeth

Forever Fern Fever- World Card Making Day

We had some fun on World Card Making Day: October 3, 20202.

Stefanie created a wonderful group of demonstrator presenters- 12 in total- from all over the world. We each had our own time slot...some were live, others were pre recorded, but it was a great mix of creativity and fun! To check out the group, click here:

World Card Making Day 2020 Facebook Group

Now let me show you what I created for this event!

We all have those fall weddings to wear you want to add a little shimmer and maybe bold colors instead of the traditional autumn colors. I grabbed Forever Fern and my favorite color right now, Magenta Madness. Then I added a couple other hues and a neutral, Pretty Peacock, Just Jade, and Sahara Sand.

You can complete all your stamping at once...all your foliage and the saying. Then you can use the awesome Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine all at once too. Since this card uses 3 different foliage images, you only have to do one pass to cut them all out! Super easy.

Now you can start your assembly already. I fussy cut the saying and added dimensionals. For the finishing touches, I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the saying and some Elegant Faceted Gems.

And don't forget how easy this amazing stamp set is to make 3x3 cards as well. The images in the set are so easy to just stamp on a white background and just add a couple little things to make it really pop!

I hope you enjoyed my blog. You can view my video from the event at Elizabeth Giles: Stampin' Unicorns
