Stampin’ Up! Every Chapter Sneak Peek with Color & Contour & Blog Candy Winners!

Well – good morning on Day 2 of 2022!  How’s the year treating you so far?

Want to remind you that TODAY is the last day to sign up for my Designer Paper Shares from the new Jan – Jun 2022 Mini Catalog.  Head over and get your name on my list so that you can give all the new pretties a try! 🙂

Speaking of Designer Paper – today’s card showcases the new Abstract Beauty Specialty DSP and a fun stamp set called…Every Chapter! Take a look-see:

I really enjoy big single stamps and this new Every Chapter really strikes a cord with me…I mean…BOOKS!

I ALSO love Paper Piecing – and this stamp just YELLED to me to give that technique a go!

To that end – I used my Stamparatus to stamp this Every Chapter image….SIX times in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I stamped it twice on Basic White (one of those pieces is the 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ card front).  Then I stamped it once on some gray “leathery” looking paper from the In Good Taste DSP.  I also stamped it on the light green and blue plaid, solid light green and petal pink papers from Abstract Beauty.

I used my Bronze Stampin’ Blend to color the glasses on the card front image – then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat for the card front.

Then I flexed my fussy cutting fingers and got busy!

The bottom book is cut from the gray leathery-looking paper from In Good Taste.  I left the “pages” out so they’d stay white.  I used Liquid Glue to adhere the “book” to the card front book.

I fussy cut the green book (next one up) and the plaid book and adhered them both with Liquid Glue – again not cutting the pages from the DSP – that way the white shows from the card front!

I fussy cut the body of the teacup from the pink paper (it comes out in three pieces” – don’t forget the little pieces behind the glasses!) – and colored the handle with my Petal Pink Stampin’ Write Marker.  I mean – that was a little too much even for a fussy-cut-lover like myself.  If you wanted to – you could easily color this with a Blend, Stampin’ Write Marker or Watercolor Pencil and skip this particular piece of fussy cutting! 😉

For the middle book with the flower – I cut that one from the second image stamped on Basic White.  I colored the spine with my Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend – and the flower with my Bumble Bee and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Markers.

THAT one I adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals cuz…I thought it would be cool and make it look more like a “real” stack of books!

Then I colored the ends of the pages – one with my Light So Saffron Blend, one with the Dark Petal Pink Blend, and one with my Bumblebee Stampin’ Write Marker.  I left the bottom book’s pages white.  But…I was having fun, so…I fussy cut the little bookmark from the solid green image and stuck it on with a dab of Liquid Glue.

I used my Mint Macaron Stampin Write Marker to color the little leaves on the “of our” book spine and the trim on the “I enjoy” spine.  Then I added a Pearl Basic Jewel to the flower and…the card front was done!

On the inside, I stamped the outline flower from Color & Contour (one of my fave sets in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog) in Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel.  Then I added the fill image in Daffodil Delight ink.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Basic Black mat and into my Thick Basic White cardbase, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.

My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Color & Contour flower on the front…

…and some more of the pink Abstract Beauty Specialty DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Okay – if you love books – or even just big, bold, beautiful stamped images! – then the Every Chapter stamp (yes – there’s only ONE stamp in the set!) is for you!!  You don’t have to do Paper Piecing – look at…Stampin’ Blends, Watercolor Pencils, watercoloring (try using your Clear Wink of Stella Brush as your “paintbrush”!).  There are LOTs of ways to make this beauty shine!  And… the Abstract Beauty Specialty DSP is so pretty – lots of color and gold foiling!

I hope you like!
