Brightest Beauty bundle and Quatrefoil embossing folder from Stampin' Up! using the July 2022 Color Fusers color challenge.  Card made by Melanie Hockin of Mel's Inky Fingers.

Thank you for joining us for the Color Fusers Blog Hop where I am sharing a card made with the Brightest Beauty bundle from the new July-December 2022 Mini Catalog!

But before I dive in, I would like to wish everyone in the US a happy Independence Day. I hope your celebration is joyful!

It’s always exciting when a new catalog launches, and this one is sooo good! I chose to kick off my blog shares with this bundle which contains my favorite sentiment! And the images are amazing as well.

The color challenge this month is so pretty, and I loved my bundle choice even more! I went with Petal Pink as my main focus and kept the color soft and feminine, using Poppy Parade for little pops of color.

Brightest Beauty

Brightest Beauty is a two-step stamping set. The large focal image is so pretty, and can be used alone, colored with any coloring technique, or used with the coordinating stamp. I pulled in Poppy Parade on the berry stamp, coloring some of the berries on the stamp with my Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Marker before stamping.

# 159865 Brightest Beauty Bundle

I brought in lots of texture on this card by using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder on the main front layer, and Layering Designs Vellum behind the focal image.

Silver metallic accents, including the Metallic Mesh Ribbon layered down one side, and silver cord, finished it all off nicely!

To create this card:

  • Use a 4 1/4″ x 11″ Petal Pink card base, scored at 5 1/2″
  • Cut a 3 3/4″ x 5″ Petal Pink layer and emboss for the front
  • Stamp and die cut focal image on Basic White cardstock
  • Die cut the focal shape from Layering Designs Vellum

Cut a piece of Metallic Mesh Ribbon in half lengthwise, and adhere down one side of embossed layer and adhere to card base with dimensionals. Stamp focal image in Smoky Slate ink. Ink berry stamp with Petal Pink ink, then color some berries with Poppy Parade marker before stamping. Die cut stamped image, and one vellum piece with same die. Die cut vellum foliage pieces. Layer stamped image and vellum piece offset, then add to card front with dimensionals. Stamp sentiment in Poppy Parade ink on Basic White cardstock, die cut, and add to card front with dimensionsls, adding vellum foliage pieces. Embellish with a bow and Rhinestones.

Thank you!

Mini Catalog Product Shares & Samplers

July-December 2022 Mini Catalog product shares & paper resource samplers - Paper Resource Samplers

It’s hard to believe it’s time for the Mini Catalog Product Shares and the new Paper Resource Samplers, but the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog is right around the corner for our Fall and Holiday creating. The catalog is fantastic!

Now, I know choosing favorites can be hard, so I am here to make it easy! Choose a product share, and get a little of everything! I am also offering something new this year.

Paper Resource Samplers

If you join us for class in my classroom, you have seen these on display. These samplers are invaluable for actually seeing the papers and pulling projects together, as well as matching colors and embellishments. So much so, I have decided to offer them for anyone who would like a set!

Each collection set features all the designer papers, the catalog name and image, item number, price, detailed information as needed, and coordinating colors. Collections that are 12″ x 12″ are in a 4″ x 6″ resource, and 6″ x 6″ collections are left full size. And as an added bonus, when you are done with them, you can take them apart and use the paper!

I have added a second registration through July 31st for paper samplers!

Click here for details and to register – it is a little different for the second round!

Resource Sampler Options:

  • July – December Mini Catalog Resource Sampler Set (16 designer & specialty papers) $35

July-December 2022 Mini Catalog product shares & paper resource samplers - designer series papers.

Mini Catalog Product Shares

Product shares are a way to get some of everything at a fraction of the investment. It provides a sampling of all the products so you can create with all of the collections. It is a great way to build variety in your stash. *It is important to note how your paper is cut, not just how many sheets you get. I like to leave the sheets larger (so fewer sheets), giving you more options for creating.

The In Color Collection features 5 colors which join the Stampin’ Up! color family each year. They remain available for 2 years before retiring. This year’s colors are bright and beautiful! This could possibly be my favorite In Color Collection ever!

Hope & Prayer

The Hope & Prayer stamp set features a combination of images and sentiments. I have paired an image stamped lightly behind the sentiment on today’s projects. I created the lighter image by inking my stamp, then stamping on scrap paper twice before stamping on my label.

And the Rays of Light Background stamp is amazing! I know I will be using this a lot!

Hope & Prayer In Color Card Set

And finałly, here are all the colors. Which one is your favorite? Drop me a comment and let me know! I think Orchid Oasis is my favorite.
