For this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop, the theme is 3D STAMPING.

Those of us who are hopping along, post our links to this private group – but you can see everyone elses’ projects by clicking on their links below.

To be totally honest, I had to find out what that was because it wasn’t a familiar technique term. Thanks to Google, I discovered very quickly what the technique is (and I have used it AGES ago). It was nice to have the opportunity for a refresher.

This technique involves creating a 3D look by overstamping a solid, stamped image with a slightly darker ink. Sounds easy – and, it is.

For this project, I decided to use the LOYAL LEAVES STAMP SET. I thought the intricate leaves designs would look amazing with a 3D (shadow) effect.

Here is the end result.

I positioned each of the leaves stamps onto my Stamparatus. The next step was to ink up the stamps with a refreshed/reinked Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad. Once the craft ink was dry, I slightly adjusted the position of the cardstock – a little up and to the left.

After cleaning the stamps, I reinked them with Mossy Meadow and stamped again.

You cannot help but admire the detail in these stamped images.

The reason that I didn’t use my F Block was because I made a number of these cards and also repeated this for the front of another project that I will show you soon.

The OLDER AND WISER greeting is a fun way to remind someone that are, in deed, getting older.

And, when someone is being teased about getting older, that person may need to be comforted with chocolate.

In keeping with the card concept, I decorated a 3D slider card in the same way.

The BRAIDED LINEN THREAD and MOSSY MEADOW BRAIDED LINEN THREAD are perfect for this project.

And, by pulling gently on the tab the sweet treat is revealed.

If you are going to give chocolate, always make sure it is a good one.

This project, like many of mine, uses just three colours – CRUMB CAKE, MOSSY MEADOW and WHISPER WHITE – just keeping it simple.

What do you think? Who is ‘older and wiser’ that you would send this to?

If you have ever struggled to come up with an idea for a THANK YOU CARD, then I hope that you are dropping in on Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlights.

The theme, every month, is THANK YOU.

This International Blog Facebook page, is about reminding us that many people these days forget those two simple words – thank you. #bringingthankyouback

The card I have made, for December, was inspired by my experience at the Dockside Markets on the weekend. I had a customer who wanted to buy more masculine thank you cards than I had in my collection. I have such a huge range of thank you cards that are perfect for women but so few for men. This card begins to address this issue. (Also on the list – more newborn, wedding and congratulations cards.

I hope that you pop over, take a look at everyone’s creative entries and VOTE for my card! Just click on the link below.

I stamped my own background paper, using the PATTERN PLAY STAMP SET, in Misty Moonlight and Cinnamon Cider.

This stamped piece measured 3 1/4″x 4 7/8″ and was cut diagonally, before it was split apart.

The thank you greeting is from the BEST YEAR STAMP SET. Two were stamped in Misty Moonlight and the other in Cinnamon Cider. My go-to dies, STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES, were used to cut around each sentiment.

Without being too blingy, A few of the 2020-2022 IN COLOUR ENAMEL DOTS were added.

THANK YOU for popping by … happy stamping.
