Everyday Details Card | HSS Colour Challenge #460

This week, I participated in the Hand Stamped Sentiments #460 Colour Challenge, featuring Pecan Pie, Summer Splash, and Pretty Peacock. These rich, bold hues inspired me to create this elegant “Everyday Details” card using the Textured Notes dies to add some special textures to the layers.

Here’s the card I created:

Project Details:

I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered it with a tone-on-tone stamped and die cut background for added texture. The detailed nest was stamped in Memento Black, then coloured with Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, paired beautifully with Summer Splash eggs and Pretty Peacock leaves. The Textured Notes dies added depth, and by double-cutting, I turned the original rectangle shape into a square for added versatility. A Basic White layer embossed with the Soft Waves embossing folder creates even more dimension, while the finishing touches—rhinestones and a white and silver bow—add a bit of shimmer and elegance.

This card is perfect for special occasions – like the arrival of a new baby. Be sure to check out the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog for more colour challenge inspiration and to share your own creation!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Colour Challenge #457: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist & Summer Splash

Are you ready for a fun and vibrant colour challenge? This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments , we’re playing with a fresh and cheerful trio: Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, and Summer Splash! These colours bring a bright, tropical feel to any project, and I had so much fun creating this birthday card featuring the With You In Mind stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Here’s the card I created:

A Closer Look at My Card Design

For this card, I combined the bold colours of the challenge, layering techniques, and heat embossing to make the elements pop. Here’s how I brought this colour combo to life:

Finishing Touches: A few sparkly embellishments (Iridescent Faceted Gems) add just the right amount of shine!

Background Stamping: I started with a Lemon Lime Twist cardstock base and added subtle tone-on-tone cupcake images using the With You In Mind stamp set.

Layered Panels: To add dimension, I layered Summer Splash and 2024-2026 In Colour 6X6 Designer Series Paper (with a Summer Splash geometric pattern) for extra texture.

Cupcake Details: The cupcakes were stamped in Calypso Coral and then I heat embossed the cupcake bottoms with Silver Embossing Powder to give them a shiny, metallic touch.

Sentiment: The ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment was stamped in Versamark on Summer Splash cardstock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. Finally I fussy cut it, giving it a crisp and playful look.

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:
