Background with Rich Razzleberry Ombre Stamp Pad

  • What's up, Ombre?
  • Third wave of Sale-A-Bration selections announced
  • Card and Tin Class - March 26

Stampin' Up! Ombre Stampin' Pad

Today I played with my Rich Razzleberry Ombre Stampin' Pad.  I was able to make this background on Whisper White Cardstock simply by dragging the pad across the paper.  I tried it lighter, but found that I liked the darker coverage better.  Stampin' Up! also makes these pads in Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral in the main catalog and a Peekaboo Peach Ombre Stampin' Pad in the Occasions catalog.  
     







I added a Sunde using the frozen Treats Framelits and the sentiment is from the Cool Treats set.  I love the little cherry for the top of the Sunday.  I covered the "hot fudge" with Wink of Stella to give it the shine of real hot fudge.  







The background is a little out of my comfort zone, but I've had the Rich Razzleberry Ombre stampin' pad sitting in my stamp pad tray for a while and thought it was time to give it a try.  I'm not itotally loving this look, but it is a new technique for me and I know I'll be trying some other ideas now that I've broken it open.

    We all scream for Cool Treats and Ice Cream

    • I love Sherbet Ice Cream
    • Final weeks of Sale-A-Bration - 3rd wave of selections announced
    • Decorated Card Tin Class - March 26

    Stampin' Up! Orange Sherbet Cool Treats

    Today I'm using the Cool Treats Stamp set and matching dies again.  I can't seem to stay away.  I've fallen in love with Peekaboo Peach and I'm busy making card after card with Peekaboo Peach as the main accent color.       


         






    I pulled out a set of thinlits I haven't used in a while, I used the Lots of Labels Framelits to create a Peekaboo Peach frame for the Orange Sherbet cone.  Its really Peekaboo Peach, but it reminds me so much of the Orange Sherbet cones I used to eat while growing up.





    I also had been working with the Star Blast Edgelit Dies, and I found this super cute label boarder included in that die set.  After using the die to cut the boarder, I traced around the label die on Whisper White to create a white background behind the open frame. It fit well with this card. Because my mom always kept Orange Sherbet Ice Creme in our freezer when I was a teenager, the cone on this card felt like "love", and I chose the sentiment from the Flourishing Phrases.  








    I love how this card turned out.  I set it next to some of the other cards I've completed recently.  It highlights the way Stampin' Up dies, stamp sets, Designer Series Papers, cardstock, embellishments and colors all compliment each others.  


    Recipe:

    Stamp: Cool Treats, Flourishing Phrases (sentiment)
    Ink:  Basic Black, Peekaboo Peach, Calypso Coral
    Paper: Whisper White, Peekaboo Peach, Basic Black, In Color Designer Series Paper Stacks
    Accessories:  Frozen Treats Framelit Dies, Lots of Labels Framelits, Star Blast Edgelit Dies, Big Shot, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Cutting Pads,  Stampin' Scrub, Stampin' Mist, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals



    Price: $110.00
