All good things must come to an end, and that gives me great hope for all the amazing things that are on their way. Not only has Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Paper Sale and Starter+ Join Promotion ended, but today is the last of five posts I’m sharing from my presentation at Allison Okamitsu’s Canadian Demonstrators Event. My cards feature unique color combinations with Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2025 In Colors – and this one is a favorite of mine.
Here’s my card with a great color combination to showcase Wild Wheat:
Wild Wheat is such a uniquely beautiful color – it’s like nothing we’ve had before, which makes it so special. I paired it with Basic Black and Smoky Slate to showcase the gold in Wild Wheat – together, they really look like gold and silver. Don’t you think?
I added three strips of cardstock at a diagonal on my card, a simple way to showcase colors or patterns on a card. I stamped the sentiment from Lighting the Way on Thick Basic White cardstock and punched it with the Cloud Punch. Here’s a closer look:
Dreamy, right?! The stitched stars are from the Give it a Whirl Dies. While the dies are designed to create a card with a rotating wheel inside, the dies offer so many shapes (clouds, hearts, stars, banners, arrows and circles) that are perfect for so many projects. These sweet stars turn this cloud into a nighttime dream. Here’s a look at the Give it a Whirl Dies:
I framed the focal panel with Smoky Slate and again with Basic Black and then mounted it on a Wild Wheat card base. What do you think?
