Stampin' Up! Playful Painter's Palette Peek-a-boo Cards

I used the Painter's Palette stamp set and coordinating Playful Playful Designer Paper stack to make up  colorful thank you cards last month.

I love the new In Colors: Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, and Emerald Envy. They are so bright and bold together.

This card is fun because it has a "peek-a-boo" affect. I stamped the easel frame first and then die cut the center using the Layering Square Framelits. TIP: To get the inside images lined up just right, stamp the sentiment through the window and then open the card to stamp the brushstrokes and dots.

VIDEO: Stampin' How To Make Copper Buttons -- Every Occasion Fall Card

I had so much for creating samples for the April On Stage Display Boards. I created this card to feature the new In Color Emerald Envy and some other new products, including the Copper Embossing Powder. (In hind sight, I should have embossed a couple leaves in copper.) Instead, I used the embossing powder in an unexpected way -- to change the color of the Classy Designer Button!

The technique is super easy, but I created a video tutorial just in case you prefer to see it done in person.

Stampin' How To Make Copper Buttons

1. Cover the button (or any embellishment) with Versamark ink.
2. Dip the inked embellishment in embossing powder and cover completely.
3. Use a Paper Piercing needle or tweezers to hold the embellishment while you
4. Heat the embossing powder with the Heat Tool until the powder completely melts.

More Thoughtful Branches Project Ideas

I hope you're not getting sick of Thoughtful Branches ideas because I have three more pinnable projects for you today! I seriously love this bundle! I think it's the most versatile bundle that Stampin' Up! has ever offered and I've got 117 pins to prove it! If you haven't gotten it yet, you only have 6 more days! This exclusive bundle is only available until August 31, 2016! Buy It Online Now

The first card was create by my sister Aimee La Croix-Slocum. I LOVE the way that she die cut the flower with vellum. Aimee used a now- retired adhesive sheet to adhere the the vellum to the Pear Pizzaz cardstock. The small dots are from the adhesive sheet, but I love the texture it adds to the card. The layering of the ribbon, twine, and leaves is just perfection! Aimee said that she used a die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit set to cut out the "happy birthday" sentiment. I honestly never even noticed that die! I love how it looks like it's torn.

The second two projects were created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. I found them tucked away on my business website gallery and thought they deserved a little more attention. I love the layered cardstock on the flower treat bag. TIP: To create the layered flower, Die cut and stamp two flowers. Trim one to be smaller and use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up over the full bloom.

I like the layered elements on this last card too. The two different tree stamps create a nice background for the die cut tree. TIP: Use an AquaPainter and Pool Party or Soft Sky ink to watercolor the background first. Allow it to dry completely before stamping the trees.

Fresh Fruit Peach Gate Fold Card

The second card in my Stamp of the Month Club card kit this month was inspired by a card my friend Mary Ellen Stites designed for our Vacation Stamping School team training event last month. I love the fun gate fold that Mary Ellen used on her card. I changed up the card base color to have more variety among the cards in this month's kit and incorporated the doilies and burlap that I used on the other card designs.

Card-Making Tips:

• To create this gate-fold card, start with a piece of cardstock that is 4-1/4" x 11" and score at 2-3/4" and 8-1/4". The inside piece is 3-3/4" x 5".
• Stamp the border at the bottom of the card using the single "dot" from the Fresh Fruit stamp set.
• Ink the peach stamp with Peekaboo Peach ink. BEFORE stamping, use a sponge dauber to add Watermelon Wonder ink along the bottom and up the middle of the stamp. If desired, spritz the stamp lightly with water before stamping for a more watercolor look. (Watercolor Paper is best for this technique.) 
• For extra sparkle, apply Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped peach and the peaches on the designer paper.
• Make sure to only use adhesive on the top half of the front layer so you don't glue the card closed!

 Stampin' Up! Supplies: Fresh Fruit stamp set, Peekaboo Peach ink & cardsdtock, Pear Pizzazz ink & cardstock, Watermelon Wonder ink, Whisper White cardstock, Fruit Stand Designer Paper, Layering Circle Framelits, Delicate White Doilies, Clear Wink of Stella, 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
