Continuing on with an overview of the new 2018-2020 In Colors, I want to introduce you to our fourth colour, the beautiful Blueberry Bushel...

Blueberry Bushel is both a bright shade and dark shade of azure-blue. This deep, vivid hue is similar to Pacific Point but more saturated, however, not as dark as Night of Navy. Blueberry Bushel is a beautiful royal blue with a depth of colour that reminds me of the ocean.

Card/Paper: Bermuda Bay (131286), Pacific Point (116202), Blueberry Bushel (146991), Night of Navy (106577), Wood Textures 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (144177).

This card layout was inspired by the photographed project on page 19 of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue, and it compares Blueberry Bushel with three other Stampin' Up! colours to help you get an understanding and appreciation for this lovely new colour…

This thank you card features only a single stamped image. This bold focal-point is from the pretty Accented Blooms stamp set. The card is finished with a length of Night of Navy Medium Baker's Twine tied down the side. The Night of Navy Medium Baker's Twine has a lovely twist that looks like it's been braided!

For this second project featuring Blueberry Bushel, I picked out a darker-grain pattern from the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack, and white embossed it with the floral image from the Accented Blooms stamp set. This I mounted onto the front of a tall, thin card (finished size: 3" x 6")…

Stamps: Accented Blooms (wood: 146678, clear: 146681). Ink: Blueberry Bushel (147138), Whisper White (101780). Card/Paper: Whisper White Thick (140490), Whisper White (106549). Accessories: Metallic Pearls (146282), Silver Metallic Thread (138402), White Stampin' Emboss Powder (109132). Tools: Tailored Tag Punch (145667), Heat Tool (129056), Embossing Buddy (103083), Aqua Painter (103954), Mini Glue Dots (103683), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

The Accented Blooms stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Tailored Tag Punch, which I've used to punch out the void in the stamp. The piece that I punched out is mounted on the back of the card, so it peeks through the opening on the card front.

The stamped sentiment and flowers are in Blueberry Bushel, which makes a great accent on this card. For the flowers, I gave a piece of Whisper White card stock a light wash of Blueberry Bushel ink and heat set it before the card stock deteriorated. I then stamped the flowers from the bottom-right of the main image in Blueberry Bushel ink and hand-cut out three to add to my card.

The card was then finished with a little silver bling... Silver Metallic Thread tied in a bow on the card edge and the new Silver Metallic Pearls.

Metallic Pearls (146282) - $14.75
242 pieces: 121 each of gold and silver adhesive-backed pearls

This is a really versatile card-style. In fact this card is a copy of a similar one that I created for Miss-just-turned-15! Instead of "Love You", I stamped a birthday sentiment in gorgeous Blueberry Bushel ink. It's her birthday today and I hope she loves what I've created for her.
