Welcome to the October Color Fusers Blog Hop where I chose to share using the Regal Flora Bundle. The beautiful floral images worked really well with this month’s color challenge, and I love the Petal Pink flowers!
I kept this month’s project really simple, using only the bundle, Basic White Cardstock, and embellishments. The color combination was so pretty, and really felt like fall to me, so I let it shine through.
The tag in the Regal Flora die set is a definite favorite! I love the rounded corners and edge detail. It is so unique, and adds an amazing element to any project.
Wild Wheat really speaks to me this time of year, I think it’s a great gold to work into fall and holiday crafting. It has made it into a lot of my projects the past couple of weeks! On today’s project, I used it for first and second generation stamping to vary the intensity of color for the foliage.
To create this project:
Card Base – Thick Basic White Cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Front Layer – Basic White 5″ x 3 3/4″
Label – Basic White
Stamping/Die Cutting – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Stamp flowers in Petal Pink and foliage in Wild Wheat. Die cut with coordinating dies. Create dots on front layer in Calypso Coral ink, than adhere to card front. Stamp sentiment in Calypso Coral ink on white label. Adhere label to center of card front with Stampin’ Diimensionals. Arrange flowers and foliage on card front. Adhere in place using Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a Wild Wheat Jute bow and adhere with a Mini Glue Dot. Embellish with foiled gems.

Welcome to the September Color Fusers blog hop where I am sharing a cool coloring technique and the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle launching this week in the Holiday Catalog!
I have to admit, this color challenge was just that – a challenge! So I jumped right in, and decided to go with a Crumb Cake base. From there, I decided how I would elevate the colors. One of my favorite coloring techniques is Wink of Stella coloring, so I channeled my inner Picasso, and went for it!
The browns in the challenge lent themselves nicely for something natural, like animals, or the birds from the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle. This set is really beautiful, and will be released this week with the launch of the Holiday Catalog on the 4th! With this somewhat monochromatic color scheme, I focused on building texture, with an embossed background, and added die cut elements.
Did you notice the embossed background? This is the Birch 3D Embossing Folder. It is part of the Nests of Winter Suite, which includes the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle. Both become available this week with the launch of the September – December 2024 Holiday Catalog on Wednesday!
Easy Coloring Technique
Coloring with Wink of Stella is one of the easiest coloring techniques! Wink of Stella is a pen with shimmery liquid. You can pick up any color ink with the tip and color your image like it’s a paint brush! It’s so cool. This creates the look of colored shimmer on your project. You can blend colors, and layer the color for detail. It really is like playing Picasso!
To Create the Project
Crumb Cake card base: 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ for a square card
Embossed front layer: 4″ x 4″ embossed with the Birch 3D Embossing Folder
Die cut elements: Crumb Cake Cardstock
Adhere the embossed layer to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp bird image in Pecan Pie ink. Color with Crumb Cake ink using a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Add details with Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry ink. Color berries with Crushed Curry ink. Die cut with coordinating die. Die cut multiple leaves. Adhere birds with Stampin’ Dimensionals, add leaves. Stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. Fussy cut and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish with gems and a bow.
