E is for Early Espresso

Stampin' Up! ABC Color Series - visit juststampin.com for color inspiration and color combinations from A to Z - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices!  I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s project features a color I don’t use very often, Early Espresso. Early Espresso is part of Stampin’ Up!’s Neutrals Collection. Today’s card combines Early Espresso with Real Red and Granny Apple Green…colors we find in nature.

Stampin' Up! Apple Harvest Get well card idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the apples from the Apple Harvest Stamp Set. I cut the image out with the Scalloped Contours Die then decided to trim off the scallop edges. (If you own the Stitched Rectangle Dies you could use those to achieve the same effect.) I love the texture you get with embossing folders. The Basics 3D Embossing Folders are not found in the catalog.  They are an online exclusive and I love all 3 of them! I used the dots for this card. This card has several layers.

Supplies/ Measurements:

Card Base (Real Red): 5 ½ x 8 ½ score @ 4 ¼
Layer 1 (Basic White cardstock): 4 x 5 ¼
Layer 2 (Real Red Cardstock): 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 embossed with Basic Dots Embossing Folder
Layer 3 (Early Espresso cardstock): 3 x 4 1/4
Layer 4 (Basic White): 3 1/2 x 5 cut with Scalloped Contours Die
Layer 5 (Basic White): scrap to stamp sentiment and cut with Stylish Shapes Die
Inside Layer (Basic White): 4 x 5 1/4

Directions:

  1. Fold and burnish card base along score line.
  2. Adhere red embossed layer to Basic White then to card base.
  3. Stamp sentiment on Basic white with Memento Black Ink and color with Stampin’ Blends. Cut with Scalloped Contours Die. Cut off scallops with Paper Trimmer.
  4. Adhere to Early Espresso as shown. Adhere Early Espresso to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  5. Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso and cut with Stylish Shapes Die. Trim ends as shown. Adhere to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  6. Make a double bow with twine and adhere with Mini Glue Dot.
  7. Adhere white layer inside card. Stamp sentiment or add handwritten note.
  8. Adhere 1/4 x 6 Early Espresso strip and 2 x 6 DSP strip to envelope flap and trim to fit.

A CASE for Inspiration

Stampin' Up! 2019 - 2021 In Color Painted Poppies card ideas with Celebrate Sunflowers, Seaside Notions, and Healing Hugs - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Do you sometimes find yourself in a creative block and in need of some inspiration? I think it happens to all of us at one time or another! That’s when I search Pinterest for something that catches my eye. Then, I CASE it! “CASE” is often referred to as Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Share with Everyone or Copy And Selectively Edit. I find I do more of the latter. When I’m creating I often try different versions and sometimes, by the time I’m done, it ends up totally different than my inspiration.  Sometimes you just need a place to start to get your mojo back.

Here’s what you can do if you need a dose of inspiration:

Choose one aspect of your chosen inspiration piece, and copy it on a new project.

  1. Copy the layout
  2. Copy the color scheme
  3. Copy the technique

My cards today were inspired by my upline, Mary Fish. Here’s her card:

Stampin' Up! Lovely You card idea - visit my CASE version at juststampin.com - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I was drawn to the simple layout design as well as the Designer Series Paper. (I love polka dots!!!) Mary created her beautiful card using Misty Moonlight (which I love!) but I decided to give the 2019-2021 In Colors some love! I substituted the Butterfly Gems for the heart. I also decided to change the layout from vertical to horizontal and rather than layer the whole piece of DSP, I just added strips along the sides and repeated that on my coordinating envelopes. Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.Stampin' Up! 2019 - 2021 In Color Painted Poppies birthday card idea with Seaside Notions - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I thought this would make a great gift set of all occasion cards. All 5 cards & envelopes fit easily into a Stampin’ Up! acetate card box. I just wrapped some In Color Scalloped Linen  Ribbon around my box and my gift set was complete! *Just put the card on top for the reason you are giving it to the recipient (thank you, birthday, etc.). Quick & Simple!
