January Color Fuser Blog Hop

in Cardmaking on 01/01/24

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

Welcome to our first blog hop with the Color Fusers Design Team for the year 2024.  Happy New Year!

Who are the Color Fusers Design Team ?  

A group of talented demonstrators from around the world that create designs from a color challenge using Stampin’up! Colors.  Each Designer has a unique style to meet all your crafting needs.  You will see our ideas using Stampin’Up! products on Facebook, Instagram and our personal blogs. Don’t forget to follow us for monthly creative ideas!

You may have just arrived here from my lovely friend  Melanie Hockin from the United States isn’t her work simply stunning! At the bottom of the page there is Color Fuser Badge to guide you to the next blog. You don’t want to miss our January color challenge which focuses on a bright and colorful combination.

For today’s hop, I went with a New Year Banner  featuring Stampin’up!’s Merry Bold & Bright Suite and the Bright & Beautiful Suite.    As soon as I saw the color challenge for this month, I knew I had to make something festive for the New Year!

The Alphabet A La Mode Dies are perfect to add any title to a banner. I added ink with the water painter at the base of each letter.

Color Combination:

Daffodil Delight
Melon Mambo
Parakeet Party

Tip Of The Day:

Adding Adhesive Sheets at the back of the Alphabet pieces will simplify adhering your letters to the banner. I adore using them when I’m die cutting delicate pieces.

Stampin’up!’s Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs are perfect to add festive colors to the banner or any birthday card.

Next on the hop is my talented friend Brenda Nelson.  Brenda always creates beautiful projects.  I can’t wait to see what she made today for our hop.  She is so amazing! Click on the Blog Badge below to get to her blog.

Hope you are enjoying our Hop!

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
