Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop and December 2022 Color Challenge!
If you’ve already started the blog hop you should be coming from the talented Sue Vine‘s blog post. If you’ve just joined in, make sure to do the full hop and see all the wonderful projects created by the Color Fusers Design team! The color scheme for the December 2022 Color Challenge is Basic Black, Merry Merlot, and Smoky Slate. Today’s project features the Desert Details Bundle which will be available to purchase on 1/5/22.
To create this card I actually made my own stamp using fun foam.
My stamp was made with two die-cut fun foam pieces in the same shape. I simply glued them together using multipurpose liquid glue. Here are my two pieces as I was putting this stamp together.
After they were attached, I used a piece of cling mount adhesive (cuttings from when assembling the set) on the back of the homemade stamp so it would cling to the acrylic block.
I really love this shape and so making my own stamp was an easy way to be able to create a fun background pattern. In the photo below I’ve shown the die and the stamp that I made.
The images on the left and right were stamped using Versamark and the Stamparatus for precise placement. Then they were heat embossed using black embossing powder. The sentiment is heat embossed with silver embossing powder and mounted onto the silver foil die-cut piece. The whole element is attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The Desert Details bundle shown below is in the January to April 2023 mini-catalog that goes live January 5, 2022.
I can’t wait to play with this set some more!
I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my December 2022 Color Challenge project!

Melissa, You are so clever to create your own stamp with a die!!! I absolutely adore your card. The center looks like a Native American blanket, the colors are just perfect!
