MONDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR SOME MEMORY KEEPING

This week I am going for GOLD!

Each post will feature a project using Basic Black and Gold.

The double scrapbooming layout I have created is titled ‘ALL THAT GLITTERS’ and has five 3″x 3″ photograph spaces and a journalling panel that sit on one the Playful Banners Dies. I cut them from Gold Foil Speciality Paper.

Most of this week’s projects also use the Metallic Textures Rub-ons that you can find on p.124 of the Annual Catalogue (165270 $24).

I started by adding the diagonal gold rub-on design to the black 12″x 12″ base.

Then I added the gold foil banners. Each banner had black Stampin’ Dimensionals popped on the back to ensure they were lifted up from the page.

After adding Adhesive Sheets to the back of some more gold foil, I cut the letters for the title using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I use a quilting ruler to help me position the letters.

To finish this page I die cut flowers from the Delightful Wishes Dies to add to the page.

For the second page, I also started by adding the Metallic Textures Rub-ons elements.

Then I added three gold banners across the page. Two are for photographs with the last one for journalling.

The journalling page was created using the Just a Note stamp set and dies. It was added to the banner using dimensionals. I also die cut a gold foil clip to add to the note page.

Finally, I added lots of small flowers from the Delightful Wishes Dies.

The Metallic Textures Rub-ons could so easily be missed if you are not being vigilant when you cruise through the current Annual Catalogue.

Tomorrow I have a project featuring both DRY & HEAT EMBOSSING TECHNIQUES.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY IS ALWAYS A FUN WAY TO SPEND THE DAY

Today I have a Multi Fold Card to share with you. I recently watched a reel, on Facebook, by Heidi Collins from On Y Go Stamping where she showed how to create this card style.

As you know this week I have been featuring the Weekend Adventures products from the OnLine Exclusives range.

I loved the enamel style camp cup that is in the stamp set.

The paper design with the boot print, compass and enamel mug helps create a perfect camping/hiking themed card.

I used another technique for this card – masking. By using this technique I was able to have the mugs look as thoiught they were stacked.

When the card is opened out this is what you will find inside.

I used some of the sticker elements to decorate the card.

To finish the card I added some white dots from the Neutral Matte Dots pack.

This week has been so much fun using the Weekend Adventures products. I hope you have enjoyed seeing projects that are not scrapbooking alone. A kit of products like this make it easy to make cards and 3D projects as well.

Next week I will use another collection of products to create projects with.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT IS THURSDAY & TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Last week, during the first Virtual Album Retreat that Stampin’ Up! hosted we created an explosion box for one of the page layouts.

I decided to create a Christmas Explosion 3D Card using the same measurements we used for the album page.

The explosion box was made using Old Olive card and used the tree design paper from the Weekend Adventures 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Then I added panels of Basic White card and a variety of designs from the DSP pack.

The card had several pockets added to allow for giftcards and photos.

I used one of the dies from the Party Banners Dies to cut some gold reinforcement circles to finish the 1/8″ circle I punched using one of the Hole Punch Assortment pack.

Then I used some retired ribbon to create a wrap and bow to hold the box closed.

I added a shaker card in the centre of the explosion box using Loose Gold Sequins.

For the bauble die cut and the greeting I used the Bauble Blooms Bundle. To finish the bauble I added a die cut gold hangtag.

Tomorrow I have a fun fold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
