Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This year’s hops are inspired by our favorite shapes and favorite colors – today’s projects showcase some of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing shades of red. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My idea for today’s theme was to show how well the Stampin’ Up! color products look together. One of my main love’s of Stampin’ Up! is color coordination and this card shows that with Sweet Sorbet. Of course I had to add in some additional colors as well. And a bit of a Fun Fold to go along.
Stamps
Besides the colors, the stamp set is definitely a star of this card. Both the focal image and the side image are from the Scenic Garden Stamp set. This is a Sale-A-Bration set and a beautiful one. With flowers blooming all around in nature, I decided to have them blooming on my card. The stack of planter pots is one image and is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink. There are a variety of colors used to bring these flowers to life. They are all Stampin’ Blends and listed at the bottom of the page in the Supply List. I will say the flowers are Sweet Sorbet and Flirty Flamingo for the softer pink ones.
To finish the Book Fold edge of the card, I used a second stamp from Scenic Garden set. It fit perfectly on the “spine” of the book fold. And it is colored the same as the flowers in the pots.
Papers
My first thought on the “Red” Theme is this Sweet Sorbet. It is a softer Red and does not have a lot of orange to it. A perfect tone of color! I paired it with a piece of the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper also in Sweet Sorbet. As you can see, the two piece pair beautifully together.
To make a frame for the focal image, I opted to go with a real Frame. This Granny Apple Green frame is from the Framed Florets Die set. I love the little hash marks around the edge. Plus the green pulls out the green in the image.
Embellishments
To further show off the Book Fold of the card, I added multiple strands of the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine in Sweet Sorbet and White. This really helps to tie all of the Sweet Sorbet pieces together. And to complete that tying together, I also added a few of the 2022-2024 Matt Dots. There are two Sweet Sorbet and one of Parakeet Party, which matches the Granny Apple Green very well.
