White Shimmery paper | The Maui Stamper

I spent a lot of time playing with color palettes to go with the various Feels Like Frost papers. I wanted to bring out the unexpected and non-traditional colors, and I feel like I accomplished that with this birthday card:

Maui Stamper Stampin Up Feels Like Frost Happiest Birthday Wishes

Stamps: Honestly, I don’t know. I can’t find it anywhere. Help??
Color Palette: Shimmery White, Rococco Rose, Night of Navy, Soft Suede (unexpected, wouldn’t you say??)
Accessories: Feels Like Frost DSP, Stitched Rectangles dies, Dotted Swiss White Tulle Ribbon, Christmas Layers dies, Metallic Sequins (retired), Rococco Rose Ink refill, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I tried using Stampin’ Blends to color the Dotted Tulle Ribbon, but the color came out much darker than I wanted even with the light toned marker. I decided to try dying it with the ink refill. It worked – the second time! The first time I thought I should rinse it out and the color immediately left the ribbon. I made another batch (a bunch of ink in a little water, it’s really about how dark you want it) and once I’d reached the color I wanted I let it dry on top of a paper towel. I’m going out on a limb here to say I don’t think it’s colorfast!!!!

I’m pleased with the end result. I think if you swapped the Night of Navy and the Rococco Rose all around, you’ d have a great masculine card. Hmmm…

If you’re ready, you can shop HERE.

I’m late to the Flowering Desert party, and I’m sorry that’s the case. It’s such a versatile set, the images are charming, and it’s really easy to use. There’s not a whole lot of desert here on Maui – that’s my story and I’m standing by it.

Maui Stamper Stampin' Up! Flowering Desert

Stamps: Flowering Desert (Retiring from Occasions 2019)
Color Palette: Shimmery White, Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Mint Macaron, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Lovely Lipstick, Gorgeous Grapefruit, Calypso Coral (did I forget one?)
Accessories: Shimmery White Paper, Aqua Painter, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Silicone Craft Sheet

Crystal and I had a crafty mini-retreat recently and we really dove into this. We used as many colors as we possibly could, but I got a little carried away with my paper snips.

We CASEd Tami Hewlett, beginning with her gorgeous background. Her technique is to drop little puddles of color onto a silicone craft sheet and smoosh Shimmery White or Watercolor paper onto the sheet. We LOVED the effect with Shimmery White! Please stop by her blog and give her the love she deserves for this great concept.

This is a really playful set! The fussy cutting isn’t all that fussy, and if you tend to make extras “just in case” as I do, you’ll have enough for another card.

But HURRY. This sweet set is guaranteed to be available only through May 24, 2019. Shop HERE.
