Pineapple Punch – Everything Amazing

I have this bright and cheery birthday card using Pineapple Punch. I’ve not used this colour at all. It retires on 2nd June and I wanted to start to use some of it up before it goes into my stash.

This stamp set doesn’t stamp the image in this jet black way. The image is not coloured in so don’t think you have done something wrong when you stamp it and it doesn’t look as above. I used my black Stampin’ Write marker and journaling pens to colour the image in. It took a little time but was worth it I feel.

I’ve stamped on designer series paper (DSP) instead of my normal whisper white. This is the DSP from the 2018 -2020 in-colours that retire in June. I think the black against the pineapple punch is quite striking.

There is added interest in the background from the brick and mortar embossing folder. I am rediscovering my love of embossing folders and will try to use them more in my crafting. I also love enamel dots and so have gone enamel dot mad on this card. They add an extra something to the card.

Bright and Fun Card – So Sentimental – Stampin’ Up!

I have this bright and fun card to share you today. Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove are the two colours here. I can unequivocally state these are not my favourite colours at all. I find each colour on its own a bit too much so I came up with this idea and I think it works well. What do you think?

The pop of black around the sentiment and the large sentiment itself, I think really help to pull the whole card together. What pleased me the most though, was that I got to use up some of my Happiness Blooms enamel dots in the matching colours.

If you hold card classes I think this is also a great idea. You don’t have to have enough of each paper to make a full card, you can mix and match and everyone still can make the same style card.
