IT’S MONDAY AND I AM BACK WITH A NEW WEEK OF PROJECTS

I have been ‘doing life’ for the past two weeks but have returned to my crafting at last!

This week I am featuring the Pop Up Petals Bundle (168010 $81.75AUD)

One of the key features of this bundle is the ability to die cut a pop up panel inside the card.

My first card this week is my own version of a floral pop up card.

I used a Secret Sea card base and prepared a Basic White insert.

The smaller of the two pop up dies was used to cut two panels in the centre of the card insert.

These panels had pieces of Darling Duckling DSP, from the 2025 – 2027 In Color DSP, adhered to the panels.

I stamped, coloured and die cut 5 floral bouquets for the card.

Then I die cut and embossed four vases. I used the Glass and Gardens Embossing Folder.

After attaching a vase and two floral bouquets to the card insert, I also added two panels of the Darling Duckling DSP and a Basic White panel.

The card front had another panel of Darling Duckling DSP design used. Before attaching it to the card front, I wrapped a length of Secret Sea Faux Linen Ribbon around the DSP and tied it off.

Three embossed vases, with floral bouquets, were added to the card front.

The greeting was stamped and a single flower was also stamped The card insert and back of the envelope also had the single flower stamped.

Finally, I added three of the Darling Duckling Flat PEarls added for embellishment.

Tomorrow, and for the rest of the week, I have some Christmas inspired projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

The card I have to share with you today is a Christmas card using the Bauble Blooms Stamp Set and Metallic Textures Run-ons.

The wreath, from the rub-ons pack, was transferred to black oval I cut using the die from the Impressions Abloom Dies.

Then I stamped and heat embossed the Christmas greeting below the wreath.

I cut the gold oval frame and attached it to the black oval piece. The black Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop the oval layers up from the card base.

The gold leaves were transferred onto the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow is Thursday and that means that I will have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TUESDAY IS MY DAY FOR SHARING TECHNIQUES & TIPS

I have another black and gold project to share with you today.

The technique I am featuring is EMBOSSING – both dry and heat embossing.

I am using the new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (166145 $21AUD).

To prepare for this card I embossed two panels of Basic Black card. Then I applied Versamark to one and sprinkled WOW Gold Embossing Powder across it. I still love watching the powder ‘melt and turn into a shining gold feature.

I added a gold foil panel to the Basic Black card base before placing the embossed black layer.

Then I fussy cut some of the gold embossed sunflowers.

TIP: When heat embossing run an embossing buddy over the card to ensure that more Versamark adheres to the card. Then sprinkle the powder over the card, above an embossing tray. Use a fine paint brush to dust away any powder that is sitting in an area where it shouldn’t.

The fussy cut sunflowers were positioned on the embossed layer using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting, from the Choose Happy Stamp Set (163701 $37AUD).

THIS IS NOT THE STAMP SET I USED – IT SHOULD BE A PHOTO INCLUDING THE CHOOSE HAPPY STAMP SET.

The Christmas greeting was stamped using StazOn Jet BLack ink onto some gold foil. Then I used a banner die, from the stylish Shapes Dies, to cut the greeting.

The banners were then added to the card front using dimensionals.

With all the bright, bold gold I decided not to add any more bling.

What do you think?

Tomorrow I will have another gold project to share. I will be using the Metallic Textures Run-ons again.

Until then, happy stamping.
