SHIMMERING LEAVES

Hello and welcome to my latest post. I appreciate you popping by.

I have made another card using the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE, using a colour palette similar to the last two projects I shared.

This time, I chose the corner die from the set. I cut two corner pieces in Basic White so that could colour them and use them as a frame for the sentiment. Dimensionals were used to lift the leaves frame up off the card base.

One of the features of this die set is that three of them both cut and emboss the card stock.

I stamped one of the leaves, in Crumb Cake, across the front of the card base.

The colours I used were Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green. I used a Blending Brush to colour the leaves before applying Frost White Shimmer Paint over one of the corner pieces.

The greeting is stamped usng Crumb Cake and cut using a die from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

I love using LINEN THREAD to create a bow from mulitple lengths of thread. After I attached the bow to the card front, I added a few ELEGANT FACETED GEMS.

Not all the leaves were adhered – I wanted to be able to curl some of them up to create more ‘texture’ to the card.

I am so pleased with the way this card turned out. What do you think? Let me know.

Happy stamping.

THINKING OF YOU

Hello and thank you for popping by! I hope that you like what see and continue to visit me.

Today I am still featuring the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE and have a large slimline card to share.

I had an idea floating around in my mind – I wanted to have a Basic White panel that I could cut one of the square leaf dies three times, rotating it as I went. This idea reminds me of tryptich art works, a bit like this example I found.

After the three dies were cut, I added some Granny Apple Green using a BLENDING BRUSH and then painted FROST WHITE SHIMMER PAINT over the leaves as well.

The SHIMMER PAINT leaves such a stunning effect.

I stamped the sentiments in Crumb Cake and cut them down using my stampin’ Trimmer. I almost always use dimensionals to pop my greetings up on. Finally, I added some ELEGANT FACETED GEMS in each space.

Using Crumb Cake again, I stamped one of the leaves on the inside white panel and on the envelope.

TRANQUIL THOUGHTS

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see my latest project. I would love to know what you think – I hope you leave a comment.

Today’s project is a 3D one – a fold flat gift box.

I used the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE and focussed on the dies.

TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE
The two dies, in the bottom right hand corner, were used to cut Basic White panels for each side of teh box.

Once the panels were cut, I used a BLENDING BRUSH to add some Granny Apple Green ink. Then I used a BLENDER PEN and some Versamark refill to draw the Versamark onto selected areas of the leaves. I sprinkled some HEAT & STICK POWDER and heated it so that I could add some GILDED LEAFING.

A shet of 12″x 12″ Granny Apple Green was used to cut and score the box. There are instructions below.

The sentiment and leaf are in the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS STAMP SET. I think the Granny Apple Green stamped onto Basic White is really crisp and refreshing.

I kept the top of the box relatively simple – a square cut sentimet panel, a single die cut leaf and a white twine bow.

This style of box is a great one to make becasue once it’s made you can fold it flat to minimise the amount of space needed to store it. And, it doesn’t need very much adhesive – just some Stampin’ Seal + along the tab on the far right.

I hope that you have a chance to try this project. Let me know what you think.

Happy stamping.
