Boho Indigo

Stampin Up Boho Indigo

Boho Indigo is one of the Product Medleys that Stampin’ Up! offers in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog.  I love their Product Medleys because they include everything you need (except adhesive) to make tons of cards all built into one kit.  Plus, there is a refill kit you can purchase that includes all the paper products in the original kit.

One of my favorite parts in this kit are the included embossed backgrounds.  This one has embossed diamond shapes on Very Vanilla cardstock.  It makes it so easy to add texture to your card.  I just adhered this embossed background onto a Night Of Navy card base.

To make the vase, I glued a small strip of Seaside Spray cardstock onto a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock and cut it out using one of the dies included in the kit.  Then I ran it thought my Cut & Embossing Machine using the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder.  I cut the scalloped rectangle out using the Boho Indigo Designer Series Paper that is included in the kit with a Stitched So Sweetly die. I cut out two sets of leaves in Garden Green card stock using a Boho Indigo die and added that to the DSP.  Then I adhered the vase to it.  I used Stampin Dimensionals to add it to my card base.

The sentiment is from the stamp set called ArtGallery which is in the 2021 January – June Mini Catalog.  I stamped it in Night Of Navy ink onto a sliver of Seaside Spray cardstock I already had and just cut off the end at an angle.   I hid the word “I’m”after I stamped it underneath the DSP.

Now, I don’t know this for sure but Product Medleys do not usually carry over to the next catalog so if you like it, you should order it soon.  The new catalog starts on May 1st this year and once a kit is gone, it is gone for good even if that is before the end of the present catalog.  Don’t forget to order any of the retiring InColors products such as cardstock, ink pads and ink refills that will retire this year (Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy).  Once the retirement list comes out on March 24th, those products will go quickly.

By the way, the Stampin’ Up!® Retirement List will be available today at 3:00 PM EST so check back to see what is retiring.  If there is anything you really want to have, purchase it as soon as possible because things run out very quickly!

Boho Indigo

Boho Indigo is part of a Stampin’ Up!® Product Medley that is in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog.  A Product Medley is kind of like a kit but it also includes stamps, dies, ribbon, Designer Series Paper and other embellishments.  You can’t buy these products separately but they all coordinate with each other so you would want all of them.  My favorite part of these medleys is the embossed cardstock.  It is so pretty. There are a number of different designs included in the kit.

This card was fairly easy to make since everything is included.  I cut the vases out of Night Of Navy cardstock and then, to add interest to them I adhered some gold strips to them.  The leaves are cut outs that are included in the kit.  I stamped the sentiment with Versamark, embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder and my Heat Tool.  Then I cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies.  I added the gold sparkly ribbon to ground the vases (so they wouldn’t look like they were floating in the air.

As most of you know, I moved to Nashville in September.  We moved here for a couple of reasons.  The first, of course, is to be closer to two of my sons and their families.  The second was to get away from the winter weather.  So far, it has been gorgeous here.  It was mostly sunny and was in the high 60’s or 70’s.  I was loving it.  Yesterday (I wrote this post last week) it was 29 and it snowed!  Yes, it snowed.  Not a lot but enough for it to stick on the ground.  Tara and Sam said I better get used to it because whenever Rob and I are, the weather turns bad.  Tara said, it would snow in Sarasota if we moved there.  She is probably right.  We are known for going on vacation and having the weather be bad.  Even our friends don’t want to vacation with us!  I can’t say I blame them.  Let’s just hope we all (by all I mean all Tennesseans) survive this winter with us!

Boho Indigo Quick & Easy Card

Stampin Up Boho Indigo

Stampin’ Up!® Kits and Product Medleys make it so easy to create a card.  They pair coordinating products together so it takes any guess work out of deciding what goes with what. I love the new Boho Indigo Products Medley especially when I am in a hurry to make a card.  It includes stamps, dies, Designer Series Paper, cardstock, ribbon, embellishments and die cuts with gold foil on it.  The only thing I needed to do was stamp the sentiment and put all the elements together. It was so easy!

Stampin’ Up!® has other project and card kits to choose from in the 2020/2021 Annual Catalog. Plus they have an awesome Christmas tag kit in the Holiday Catalog.

Last week we got to spend our first sleep over with some of my grandchildren at the new house.  It was so much fun.  We played and read.  We made homemade pancakes in the morning.  We ran under the sprinkler and had a water fight.  I thought they might have a hard time sleeping away from their parents since they are only 3 and 5 but they both did great!  I am loving this Nashville life so far (and I think their parents are glad we are here!)!

Boho Indigo & A Fun Technique

Stampin Up Boho Indigo

Stampin Up Boho Indigo

One of the best things about the internet is so many talented stampers, crafters, artists, etc share their creations online.  Some of them even give you directions to make the cards.  When you do use their designs it is called CASEing (Copy & Share Everything) but it is also important to give the person credit if you use one of their ideas or designs.

These particular cards used the herringbone technique.  A fellow stamper, Carole Parsons shared this technique (I put her link below).  It is easy to do but it does take a bit of time.  I love how it came out.

I started out with a piece of Night Of Navy cardstock that was 5″ x 3.75″.  You can choose whatever color you wish, although you should try to match it to your Designer Series Paper in case you miss covering a tiny bit of it.  Then I covered that piece of cardstock with our Adhesive Sheets.  They make it so much easier to attach the piece of your herringbone design instead of using Stamp ‘N Seal or Multipurpose Glue.

The Designer Series Paper I used is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  This “kit” is in the 2020/2021 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog.  It comes with a stamp set, coordinating dies, DSP, ribbon and embellishments.  I took four sheets of the DSP and cut 1/4″ strips.  This gave me eight different designs because you have two designs on one sheet of paper.  After adhering the Adhesive Sheet on the cardstock I placed my first three strips like this placing the long diagonal one first and then the two shorter strips:

Then you take one quadrant at a time and fill in the empty spaces with the strips of DSP.  I alternated a dark strip and then a light strip and then dark, etc.

I cut all the extra sections of DSP off the ends as I went so I could use those strips on this card.  Then I started on the rest of the quadrants doing one at a time.

After this was all done, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the center.

Then I trimmed off the outside piece and used it on the other card.

I added the sentiment which is from the stamp set called Here’s A Card and cut it out using a die from Hippo & Friends.

Stampin Up Boho Indigo

Boho Indigo is a new Product Medley that is in the 2020/2021 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog.  It is an amazing kit full of products that include a great stamp set, 12 coordinating dies, tons of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, two spools of ribbon, adorable little flower embellishments and die cuts with gold foil.  One of the best things about this medley is you can purchase a refill kit for it  that includes the Designer Series Paper, die cuts and paper flowers.  I just love this kit.  The thing that is different about this kit versus some of the other kits is you make your own designs.  It is actually more of a suite than a kit.

To make this card I first stamped all the vases and then cut them out using the coordinating dies.  I used Seaside Spray, Night Of Navy and Daffodil Delight.  I stamped one set of leaves on the card base but cut out the other two sets using the dies.  I colored the flowers, which come white, using my Stampin Blends.  That was super easy to do because the ink from the Blends soaked right into the petals of the flowers.  I stamped the sentiment and then punched it out using the new Banners Pick A Punch.  This punch makes 6 different banners in three different sizes.  After I put it all together I decided to add a piece of the Night Of Navy ribbon that comes in this medley of products.  The ribbon is grosgrain but the edges are frayed so it looked very soft.

Here is a close up photograph of everything that comes in this Product Medley.
