Hello my stamping friends! I’m excited to see the number “14” in the title of my blog post today…I’m almost halfway through my 30 day “post a card a day”challenge!! Today’s card was made with a 20-something young professional in mind. I hope he’s not too old to receive a hand made card from his mom 😉

The Details:

  • The card base is Tip Top Taupe, cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″
  • The next layer is Early Espresso trimmed to 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • The stamped layer is 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″. I trimmed it close so just a peek of Early Espresso would be visible.

  • I wanted a nice masculine pattern and color palette so Stampin’ Up!’s Moroccan Designer Series Paper is the color inspiration for today’s card.
  • Guy Greetings is the source of this classically styled birthday greeting. I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to stamp it repeatedly over the card face in Early Espresso, Tip Top Taupe, Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon

  • Fall leaves seemed like the perfect focal point. These leave are from Vintage Leaves and are stamped in Early Espresso onto Tip Top Taupe and Cajun Craze card stock and then die cut using the coordinating Leaflets Framelits Dies.
  • Linen Thread peeks out from behind the leaves to ground them and a little knot of thread sits on top as an additional accent.

  • Stampin’ Up!’s Party with Cake provides the sentiment today, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, along with three silly little candles stamped in Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon to dress it up.

The Paper Players challenge this week is clean and simple: leaf so I’m thrilled to link up and play along with their great group!

And my card also fits the Seize the Birthday challenge where their theme is “Anything Goes” Birthday with the added topping of: “Lots of Leaves” so I am playing along there as well! Whew!

I’m tickled with today’s project, the colors really balance well and make me happy. And with the wind blowing yesterday and today, there are LOTS of leaves on the ground! It’s almost like fall here in Southern California!! (Almost)

Moroccan Blossoms in Dapper Denim – 30 Day Card Challenge, Day 6

Stampin Up Moroccan Blossoms in Dapper Denim Card Ideas 2 - Shannon Jaramillo stampinup

Tonight I needed one inspiration for a quick card so I CASE’d (Copy and Share Everything) myself! I have always adored this card so I decided to update it with current products.

The Details:

  • Card base of Thick Whisper White cut to 4 1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5 1/2″. I generally have my card open this way simply because they photograph better with the opening at the bottom rather than the side.
  • Today’s project features a 3-step stamp set, just like yesterday’s, so the process is exactly the same. The set used today is Stampin’ Up’s Bunch of Blossoms. It has a coordinating punch to punch the flower petals out but for today’s card I chose to stamp directly onto my card base.

  • Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy inks were inspired by the colors in the pattern from the Moroccan Designer Series Paper Pack.  I did some creative trimming of the pattern paper to get the matching pattern of Dapper Denim shapes on both sides of my stamped panel.
  • I did create a mask of the flower petal by stamping the outline stamp onto a Post-It and then snipping it out with my Paper Snips. Once I stamped the detail stamp onto the middle flower petal on my large flower in Dapper Denim, I placed the mask over it and then stamped the detail stamp onto the flower petals on either side. That prevented overlap of the detail stamp.

  • Wink of Stella graces most of my projects and today’s is no different. It’s hard to photograph, but the shimmer on the detail areas of the design is stunning in person. I thought the heart Enamel Shape in Emerald Envy fit perfectly with the sentiment. I threw a few more Enamel Shapes in Dapper Denim on the card for balance and interest. They are an inexpensive and quick way to add some fun!

I would love to hear how you like the inspiration card as well as how you think I did on CASE-ing myself 🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!
