Keep it to One Colour – The Spotlighting Technique – Painted Poppies – Peaceful Moments – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo

This is a Focus Friday post. This May I have been focusing on the topic of “Colour”. This week I am looking at just using one colour to spotlight a focal image on the card. This card uses only the colour red. White and black aren’t strickly colours on the colour wheel. I’ve used the red to spotlight the poppies and really make them pop on this card.

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card

How to Make A Poppy Thank You Card – Painted Poppies – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

This is a really simple card to make but it is simply stunning if I do say so myself. The stamp set is Painted Poppies and the other aptly enough is Poppy Parade. When the poppy suite came out in the mini catalogue last year, I was in love. I’ve used it numerous times and I will be keeping this set forever, even after it perhaps retires. I will link some of the other projects I’ve used it in below.

I stamped the image of the poppies twice to get a long enough panel and then coloured them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Isn’t great how everything matches in the world of Stampin’ Up!

Packaging for Printed Poppy Candle – Stampin’ Up!

Yesterday I showed how I made this gorgeous printed poppy candle. Today I thought I would show you the packaging for the candle. I had created this lovely little candle and I thought it deserved nice packaging to make it a special gift.

In the world of Stampin’ Up! everything coordinates and this making a little gift so easy. I’ve used poppy parade ribbon, paper and ink here. The stamp is Butterfly Wishes and makes this lovely little tag. I’ve used the Poppy elements for the embellishment.

This is an 8″ X 6″ cello bag. It has no gusset but with a little manipulation I created one with some poppy parade card, The weight of the candle keeps everything in place.

As I already said I am in love with this suite or products. I do hope the stamps and dies don’t retire yet as I am not finished having fun as yet. I love the red poppies in the grass verge. They looks so vibrant and full of life. They make me happy which is never a bad thing.

Printed Poppy Candle – Painted Poppies

I have fallen in love with the Poppy suite of products in the Spring / Summer catalogue. Here I’ve used the Painted Poppies stamp set to create this printed poppy candle. I’ve not printed a candle in years and was so please with the way it turned out.

I’ve shown this candle in the packaging I created, making the packaging will be my next video. I’ve used a very simple white pillar candle that has been sitting in my stash for simply ages. I wanted to create a gift as of course, we can’t go shopping at the moment.

how did i do it?

I used some tissue paper from my stash to make this. If you have bought the shimmer detailed laser cut designer series paper (DSP) you will find tissue paper separating each page. This is a perfect way to upcycle it. I measured the circumference and height of the candle and then cut out a piece of tissue paper to match.

I’ve stamped using an archival quality ink such as stazon so it won’t run when heated. The colouring in did pose a problem to me as I was afraid that it might run when heated or bleed out of the lines. I decided just to use the Stampin’ Write Markers in the aptly named Poppy Parade. This worked perfectly!!! A word of warning though, it doesn’t bleed out of the lines but did go straight through the paper. I coloured in on my grid paper to stop my desk looking like a murder scene!!
