Display Stamples - Delightful Dijon

Hi stampers!  I'm back with another group of display samples.  Today we're going to focus on delightful dijon.  I've heard from many people that they kind of despise this color!  I have to say that I rather like it but I also loved summer starfruit, which people also tended to love or HATE ;-)

My first few projects are rather simple.  I went simple because while I wanted to create WOW projects each and every time, I also wanted to do some really simple and easy projects that could be quickly and easily duplicated ;-)

So, onto my first card which uses the sitting here stamp set (the one with the porch swing), some super simple coloring with markers and that's pretty much it!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Sitting here
Paper:  Very vanilla, tip top taupe, delightful dijon
Ink: Staz on, various markers for coloring
Accessories: None!

Next up is another simple card but I really like it!  I used the sunburst and dots from kinda eclectic. I stamped the sunburst on the dijon base and then again on the white circle.  It took a minute to line them up but you can do it if you just spin it a bit.  I also really like the combination of dijon and black.  It's bold without being overwhelming.  It was a little plain so I added some rhinestones and they really stepped it up!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Kinda eclectic, sunburst sayings
Paper: Whisper white, basic black, delightful dijon, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Basic black, delightful dijon
Accessories:  Basic rhinesones, 5/8" mini striped ribbon

Next up is a scrapbook page.  Can I just say how excited I was for the first time doing stamping for SU that I FINALLY had my on kiddo to use pictures of!!!! :-D  We went to the park back in November and I knew they would be the perfect photos to use with dijon!   I also really like the cute little saying on the acorn as my "title" as I really am nuts about this guy ;-)  It's also a great way to make a title...I think a lot of people get stuck on SB pages and thinking about traditional titles....Any sentiment stamp can be your title!  My background patterns are with the perpetual birthday calendar stamp as well as the date.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Acorny thank you, perpetual birthday calendar
Paper:  Very vanilla, crumb cake, soft suede, delightful dijon
Ink:  Delightful dijon, soft suede
Accessories:  Metallic foil doilies, linen thread, acorn punch, 5/8" mini striped ribbon, handheld stapler

Finally, this is one of my favorite projects of all.  The new in color ribbon is very nice!  I just folded it up on itself and used my handheld stapler to hold it.   Dijon and daffodil are maybe an unlikely pair but they work nicely together!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Sunburst sayings
Paper:  Daffodil delight, delightful dijon, 2015-2017 in color DSP stack
Ink:  Versamark, delightful dijon
Accessories:  White embossing powder, basic rhinestones, sunburst thinlit, 5/8" mini striped ribbon

That's it for today!  Make sure to check back for the final group!

Happy stamping!

Display Stamples - Tip Top Taupe

Hi stampers!  So it's back to reality for me and I had a big diaper mess to clean up this morning to prove it...this kid!  LOL!  He felt the need to properly welcome me back I guess.  He truly has super powers when it comes to what he does in (and out of) his diapers ;-)

Anyway, starting at 2pm today we can FINALLY share information and pictures from OnStage...or convention as I still call it!  So, make sure you check my business FB page and Instagram if you're  follower!  I'll of course be sharing things here too!   If you missed some of my posts, I was a display stamper!  I don't have pictures of the full boards just yet but I'm working on it.  I figured since we were assigned either old or new in colors that I'd do 5 posts, one with each color.  And then later this week, I'll post more personal stuff and pictures of people and other fun stuff.  Sound like a plan?

So today I'm going to show you my tip top taupe stamples (remember a few years ago I kept calling display samples stamples, lol).  For some reason, this color was the hardest for me.  Probably because it's kind of a neutral so there are lot of directions I could have taken.  So here we go!

I know you want to see new stuff so I'll start with a new set that I got to work with.  I have to say, I'm not the best at coloring so what did they send?  TWO line art sets, lol!  I hope my coloring is acceptable!  Feel free to click on any of the pictures to enlarge them.  I can't get as close as I'd like with the stand.  We actually only make card fronts so I have to stand them up somehow ;-)  I edited the others a bit closer but I'm not sure how I like half the stand edited out....Anyway, this set has the swing and then a bunch of stuff you can put on and around it like the kitty.  I actually fussy cut everything out including the swing here.

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Sitting here (new)
Paper:  Very vanilla, tip top taupe
Ink: Stazon, pool party, delightful dijon, watermelon wonder, mint macaron
Accessories:  None!

Next up is a new hostess set so you need to host a party to get in on this one!  It's totally not my style but I think people may like it ;-)  I know a lot of people like hedgehogs and....

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Love you lots (new hostess)
Paper:  Whisper white, blushing bride, tip top taupe, watercolor paper, in color DSP
Ink: Stazon, mint macaron, watermelon wonder, tip top taupe
Accessories:  Lots of labels framelits, metallic foil doilies, softly falling EF, gold satin ribbon

I watercolored these little guys.  And you'll see a lot of gold doilies this week.  We all know I like them AND they were one of the few accessories I knew were safe ;-)

Ok, moving onto my third project which I used carry over items plus some pretty new ribbon!  The ribbon is in the older set of in colors and it's very pretty!  Hardwood looks great with the taupe color!  I stamped the wreath on mint macaron and then added the accent stamping with cucumber crush

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Wondrous wreath, greatest greetings, hardwood background
Paper:  Very vanilla, blushing bride, cucumber crush tip top taupe
Ink: Stazon, pool party, delightful dijon, watermelon wonder, mint macaron
Accessories:  Wonderful wreath framelits, basic pearls, linen thread, 5/8" mini striped ribbon

And for my last taupe project which is probably my favorite.  It's simple and easy and I really love it. Taupe makes a great fall color!  And many of you will be happy to see from my splatters that gorgeous grunge is safe ;-)  I'm also happy the acorns are coming back!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps: Acorny thank you, gorgeous grunge
Paper:  Very vanilla, cajun craze, tip top taupe
Ink: Cajun craze, tip top taupe
Accessories:  Acorn punch, metallic foil doilies, 5/8" mini striped ribbon, linen thread

And there you have it! My first four projects.  Make sure to come back this week to see the remaining 16!  And be on the lookout for my other display stamping friends to be posting theirs!

If you'd like a copy of the new catalog when it comes out please let me know!

Happy stamping!
