THE STARS ARE BRIGHTLY SHINING

Hello! Thank you for popping by – I always appreciate those of you who take the time to visit.

Today I have another Christmas card to share.

This time I want to feature the Stars are Shining Bundle.

STARS ARE SHINING BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

I have decided to use Basic Black, Basic White, Cherry Cobbler and Silver for this card.

I used the Starlit Punch to create a mask for stamping the stars image. The Stamparatus was ideal for this project. I placed a piece of Silver Foil on the Stampartus and then placed the mask so that I could position the stamp. The plate picked up the stamp and I removed the mask. Because I was using Jet Black StazOn ink, I used lengths of Post-It tape, as well as the magnets, to make sure that the foil did not move each time I lifted the stamping plate.

I wrapped and secured two lengths of Metallic Mesh Ribbon to a piece of Basic Black card stock.

The mask was then attached to the stamped silver layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The silver mesh layer was attached to the card front, using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals, before the stars layer was then adhered in place. The Christmas greeting was stamped, cut and attached to the card front. I stamped and punch some extra stars to add to the card.

Two large punched stars were used for the card insert and envelope. And, finally, a few Silver Metallic Pearls gave the last little bit of bling to finish the card.

I always enjoy it when I have lots of new products from new catalogues. It means that I can experiment and create new projects. It means that I can combine new with ‘old’ products. It means lots of projects to share, with you, here.

What do you like most about new catalogues?

Until next time, happy stamping.

SLICE OF PIE

Hello! I am so pleased that you have popped by today.

Today I have a card that features the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set and Cloche Dies.

For this card I stamped and fussy cut the pies and pedestal base. I used these to help me position the cloche die in the positon you can see above.

The Cloche Shaker Dome was attached to the inside of the card. I placed one of the cut pie images to a piece of White Vellum before attaching to the inside of the card.

The remaining pies were then added to the card front. I didn’t just stamp them because I wanted to create a subtle element of dimension.

I stamped the greeting and trimmed it to this size. A short length of coordinating Diamond Weave Ribbon was folded and tucked under the greeting panel.

I was surprised by how much the Cloche Shaker Dome reflected the view from my craft room.

That’s better – less reflection in this photo.

The Diamond Weave Ribbon is gorgeous. It almost resembles macrame. It has great texture.

I am looking forward to making more projects using the Domes!

Have you ordered this bundle? Do you have projects that you can share?

Until next time, happy stamping.

COUNTING SHEEP

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see today’s project.

Today I’m using one of the FREE Sale-a-bration products you can earn with a qualifying order. To find out more, contact me (if you live in Australia).

This stamp set is so much fun. There is also a coordinating die set!

COUNTING SHEEP CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH)
SHEEP DIES

Aren’t they cute!

I started this card by water colouring the paddock and sky in Garden Green and Balmy Blue. The three different sheep were stamped in Soft Suede and then fussy cut (I know there are dies).

I die cut the fences and added them to the card front. Two of them were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sheep then found their places.

The middle sheep is holding the “You’re Amazing'” sign. It was stamped in Balmy Blue and cut using my go to Stitched Rectangle Dies. The dancing sheep was stamped on the card insert and the envelope. Some Blue Adhesive-backed Gems were the final touch – just to add a little sparkle.

I like these little sheep and am thinking of other ways that I can use them in projects.

Are the stamp set and dies on your wishlist? How would you use them in a project?

Until next time, happy stamping.
