Hello to each of you who have popped by to see today’s project. Thank you so much for visiting – I appreciate you taking the time.

Today I took inspiration from Melody Hyde, a demonstrator who also leads the Concept Art Team at Stampin’ Up!®. She is incredibly talented and creative, and “knows her stuff”.

She shared a quick vidoe showing how to use the Tailored Tag Punch to punch hexagonal shapes. I have a link to that video for you to watch for yourself:

I prepared my punch with the same markings. Then I chose my Designer Series PAper and colours – Sweet Symmetry 12″x 12″ DSP and Night of Navy meets Basic White.

I cut a 1-1/2″ wide strip of paper from the DSP and then punched several hexagons. I also punched a few Basic White shapes. These three were then stamped using one of the floral images from the In Symmetry Stamp Set using the Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Pad.

The DSP hexagons were the first to be adhered in place. The Basic White shapes were then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting is also from the In Symmetry Stamp Set. After it was trimmed down to this size I adhered it directly to the card front.

A bow was made using lengths of White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding and White Baker’s Twine from the Essentials Pack.

The same floral image was stamped on the card insert and envelope. The last step was to add some Night of Nave Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card, just for that bit of bling.

I am so excited by how well this card has turned out! What do you think?

I should apologise for the really short posts that I have for you this week. They were made and scheduled last week because I am out of action for a week – it has been a bit of a ‘rush job’.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.

Hello and welcome back. Thanks for popping by.

I chose a piece of paper from the Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper to make a birthday card – I always love trying to find new ways to use a product that seems to have only one use.

This piece of DSP also gave me the colour scheme – Real Red and Calypso Coral. This is a simple layout and great for an inexperienced card maker. After I adhered the DSP to the Calypso Coral layer I wrapped and secured a length of Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon. This was then adhered to the card front.

The birthday greeting is from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set. I used the Triple Banner Punch to create the banner end.

I fussy cut several of the ‘circles’ and popped them up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Half inch strips of the DSP were added to the card insert and envelope.

Surprisingly I didn’t add any embellishments to this card.

Who would you send this card to? If you live in Australia, let me know and I will gift this card to you.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to my Monday August 16 post! Thanks for popping by.

All my posts for this week were scheduled late last week because today I am having my second knee replacement. If all goes according to plan, I will be home Thursday and be ready to make more projects to share with you.

For this post, I am featuring the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle.

When I saw this stamp set and the coordinating dies I knew that I would be ordering it.

I started by choosing my colour palette – it was going to be full on Autumn (Fall). Basic Black, Brushed Metallic Foil, Cajun Craze, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla were gathered together for this project.

The card base, foil and black layer were prepared. Then I used three of the ‘background’ images to stamp and cut the three panels that were added next.

The next step was to stamp and cut the leaves. They were then layered to create the leaf bouquet. I adhered them to the card front.

The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set. I stamped the leaf image on to the card insert and envelope. The finishing touch was to add some Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots.

When Rob and I travel we love it when we see the changing leaves of Autumn. There have been some spectacular places we have seen. Unfortunately, where we live in Queensland , there are very few trees that have changing leaves.

What is your favourite time of the year?

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
