RINGS WITH NATURE BUNDLE PROJECT

For today’s project I decided to team the Ringed with Nature Bundle with the FREE Rings of Love Designer Series Paper from the 2022 July – August Sale-a-bration Brochure.

The bundle comprises the Ringed with Nature Stamp Set and the coordinating Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder and Tree Rings Dies.

RINGED WITH NATURE BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

The Designer Series Paper is gorgeous – full of wonderful Autumn colours. I decided to do lots and lots of fussy cutting for this card so that I could create a scene.

I fussy cut the leaves and acorns from around the outer edges of the DSP to adhere to the sides of the Basic White panel. One full leaves and acorns bunch was cut to add to the card as well.

I embossed and cut several crosscut timber sections using the hybrid embossing folder and dies. These were layered and popped up across the bottom of white panel.

Then I adhered the many multicoloured mushrooms I had fussy cut.

The sentiment was stamped in Crushed Curry before being trimmed down to a smaller rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the sentiment and popped it up on the card front.

The acorns and mushroom tops were painted with some Clear Wink of Stellar to make them sparkle. The last thing I did was tie a small bow using some Linen Thread.

The colours in the Designer Series Paper collection are just amazing. I love the leaves and the mushrooms.

Ever since Stampin’ Up!® introduced their Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies, I have loved using them to create perfectly embossed and cut project elements.

Tomorrow I will have a Colour INKspiration Challenge project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

HIP & HAPPY HIPPO HOT TUB TIME

Today I had my first ‘play’ with the coordinating Sale-a-bration products Hippest Hippos Stamp Set and Hippos Dies. These hippos and their coordinating stamps and dies are super cute.

For my card, I decided to give my hippo a bath.

The colours I chose to use were inspired by a piece of paper from another Sale-a-bration free product, the Rings of Love12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The featured colours are Mint Macaron, Petal Pink and Poppy Parade.

I started by stamping the flower holding hippo and then used the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends to colour her. I also used the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend and Dark Mint Macaron Stampin’ pens.

I cut the bath tub from a scrap of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then I cut a circle from some Petal Pink cardstock using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies and gave it texture using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

As you can see, I also cut an umbrella and some flowers using Poppy Parade cardstock and bath splashes from some Mint Macaron.

Before I started layering all of these elements, I attached some Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon behind the embossed circle.

The DSP panel was adhered to the Basic White card base and then I began adding and layering all of the individual pieces I had stamped, coloured and die cut.

The greeting was stamped in Poppy Parade and I cut it using the smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I love the way the splashes can be spread out and around the tub.

The bath tub is such a simple shape but features some great details. I love the way different Stampin’ Up! products deliver so much to our creative journey.

This weekend I am working on developing my Instagram Reels. This card is the first one I am planning to use. I hope to have a few more projects made and ready to upload to Instragram. Then, I will blog these other projects during the week.

Until then, happy stamping.
