New In Colour Dapper Denim Projects

I have been asked a few times if I had a group shot of the Display Stamper new In Color projects I made for the Telford On Stage event...

I didn't have but I have just got the projects back from Stampin' Up! today - so here you go...starting with the 5 Dapper Denim projects...

And here are some individual photos with the links to the individual posts with more photos and details underneath....

Tardis...

Have to admit my Launch New In Colours display is looking quite full this year!! Tick!

Baby Boy Card in Dapper Denim

 

Apologies for such a quick post today...but I went out to vote yesterday evening... and ended up at a neighbour's house with 30-40 others... completely and utterly unplanned... but a really lovely evening!! Thank goodness for living in a village....

But before I start...  I have a new feature coming tomorrow... one with lots of inspiration for you.... so don't forget to check back this time tomorrow!!!

So back to the new 2016-18 In Color Dapper Denim... showcasing first through 4th stamping without re-inking...great colour for this technique!

The great sailing boat image (and the round blobs) from the new and coming Swirly Bird stamp set (now can't wait for my co-ordinating dies to turn up!) Finished off with the Layered Letters alphabet for the greeting...

Spot the colouring in of the designer series paper - Soft Sky and Sahara Sand markers direct onto the paper... as being honest I was getting fed up of the old monochrome thing for my On Stage Display samples at this stage!! But this is something I will repeat... as little thing... big difference!!!! Makes that paper stack go so much further....

And a few random sequins.... yes I made a blodge!!! So it did have to be done.... 

Peekaboo Peach Rose Wonder

Coming towards the end of my long series of On Stage Showcase Stampers display projects featuring the new 2016-18 In Colors... so back to Peekaboo Peach today...

A true CAS extra-large card with lots of "white space" (actually Very Vanilla...) Not quite as per the brief (ie using the featured new colour for the main part of the project... plus a bit of neutral) as just a small amount of Peekaboo Peach! Plus Pear Pizzazz too...

Just 2 die cut Rose Wonder roses water-coloured using ink and the Aqua Painter.

And the greeting finished off with a pop of gold foil... I just hand-cut around the stamped greeting frame to achieve this effect...

Work of Art Tractor in Emerald Envy

Following on from the Work of Art Train posted here... here is the tractor I created for the Stampers Showcase display boards at On Stage... 

As soon as I saw the Emerald Envy colour a John Deere tractor popped into my head... so again it just had to be done!

Most of the image is created using Work of Art... with the addition of the wheels using the new and coming Swirly Bird stamp set

And a final thing to point out... I used the You've Got This background stamp to add the texture to the card blank... just Emerald Envy primary and secondary stamping (without re-inking in between)... loving that effect...

Delicious Flirty Flamingo Bakers Box...

Lovely simple Bakers Box for you today... quick little project that packs a punch... showcasing the new 2016-18 In Color Flirty Flamingo and Swirly Bird stamp set....

I used the new and coming Swirly Bird little flowers and leaves images to finish off the white embossed Home Made frontage ... 

It had struck me that the delish image from the Home Made set (that co-ordinates with the Bakers Box dies) would match up with the striped papers in the designer series paper stack... it is not a 100% line up but it does quite a good job (the photo angles don't show it off at its best - it is better in the flesh! Trust me)... and makes the decoration really simple... I will certainly be making more of these...

So the front is a stamped and embossed image and the other 3 sides are decorated using papers....

Work of Art 4-6-0 Train in Dapper Denim

Another project that caused a bit of an immediate reaction on the Stampers Showcase boards at Telford... totally marmite project... you will love it or loathe it! But I had so much fun making it!!! It really did have to be made....

I used the Work of Art stamps - along with the new and coming Swirly Bird stamps for the large Smoky Slate wheels and the small Basic Grey over-stamped wheels/wheel centres. Then a Balloon Celebration image as the Basic Grey spokes on the large wheels. Finished off with Balloon Builder wheel connectors and smoke...

But I have to add... if I were to re-make I would make my funnel taller... you would pity the poor driver in this train cab.... cough!

And a funny story... this was the only project I showed my husband... as he is into trains... so it had to be done... I expected a simple "Yes it looks like a train Amanda!" but no... I got an excited "That's a 4-6-0 ... followed by 10 minutes of him showing me pictures of lots of trains in books and magazines... bless!

So I got educated.... and now so will you... as there are 4 wheels at the front (two either side) - 6 in the "middle" (3 either side) and none (0) at the back! Hence a 4-6-0. So now you know....

Happy Birthday Blob-style!

Now which new colour shall I choose today... it does feel strange having so many projects made and ready to share! Not my usual way of working at all...

So Flirty Flamingo again me thinks...

This was a card I have had floating around in my head since Christmas and a perfect design to show first, second and third stampings from the Flirty Flamingo ink pad with no re-inking in between...

The blobs are from Swirly Bird ... not the one from the Layered Letters alphabet I used... as you might think so upon first glance... these blobs are more circular and so great for the job...

Oh and the HAPPY is from Number of Years...

Enormous Box Frame showcasing Sweet Sugarplum... and me & the other half...

Another day... another 2016 On Stage Telford, UK Stampers Showcase project... and cough... I was rather pleased with this one!!! It was a new idea... and it worked!! Second time around....

Although I don't think most people realised that this frame was just made out of cardstock where it lay on the Stampers Showcase table - as it was cheek and jowl with a smaller 9" Ikea Ribba frame.... but for those of you that picked it up... I am sure that you will have realised... as it is somewhat lighter than the Ribba version....

Take 4 pieces of Thick Whisper White card... and make a nearly 12" Square Box Frame... and display whatever your hearts desires...

I didn't originally plan to use this for a scrapbook layout... nor display a photo of Jon and I on our wedding day... but time was of the essence... so other plans were put onto the back burner... yup... that is me a few years back... this may be the first (and last!) time you see a photo of me....!

And no the tutorial is not yet available I am afraid... and it will be a while as the month is somewhat busy!!! ( yes again) Though I am itching to make another variant already!!! 

But in the meantime have a practice run with a Box Frame Card if you haven't already... loads of variants on this blog if you search for Box Frame Card... but go here for the most popular 6" version... 

And spot the new Ruched Ribbon for the new 2016-18 In Colors... think this maybe my favourite ribbon ever! Can't wait till 1st June to buy more....

And a detail for your Rose Wonder die cuts...  double layered leaves...give the spines of a second set of the leaves a squidge (technical term!!!!) and glue over your flat ones...lots of added dimension in a flash...

Talking of dimension..... and many of you will not remotely understand these comments until tomorrow.... Tuesday is for Txxxxx... I know that these few words will make a few of you VERY happy!!!! Dapper Denim again tomorrow if you need another hint.... Yes it is coming!!! Tutorial too...

Stampers Showcase - Sweet Sugarplum Rose Wonder

Moving swiftly onto Sweet Sugarplum... a colour that I know is going to be seriously popular amongst my ladies! 

Another extra large Rose Wonder make... just type in Rose Wonder in the Search box to the top right if you want to see lots more! Including this card in different colourways...

This card had a few variants as I created... long term blog followers will just know it was going to be a Sweet Sugarplum & Silver Foil Rose on a Whisper White base! Unfortunately I forgot to photo for you!

But then I remembered the brief... we had to mainly use the new In Color we were making for the display! So it was quickly popped onto a Sweet Sugarplum base at the last minute....

Neither could I add my Rich Razzleberry Rose! But here you go for another version.... much more dramatic...
