IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

The Poetic Expressions Suite Collection (162826 – $133.75) is an amazing collection of new products.

The Thoughtful Expressions Bundle is made up of a cling stamp set and dies collection.

The stamp set has 4 images and 4 greetings. Each greeting has been designed using two different fonts – gorgeous!

The dies are fabulous. There are 19 dies in total, with 9 of them coordinating with the stamp set images and the remaining 10 include different sizes of two different label shapes.

The Poetic Expressions 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is so diverse and beautiful, as I think I have shown this week.

Finally, the Suite has Champagne Iridescent Dots for a coordinating embellishment.

Today’s final project is a Fun Fold Card.

I recently received a card from a friend and it inspired me to make this card. It is a Book Fold card with a Pop Up insert.

For this card I chose a Lost Lagoon card base, Lost Lagoon DSP and Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the hummingbird.

Then I stamped the floral image on a square of Basic White card and coloured it with Moody Mauve and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. This stamped white piece was added to a slightly larger square of Lost Lagoon card.

I adhered this panel to the card front and attached the hummingbird using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped on to a piece of Basic White card and trimmed to fit under the hummingbird panel.

Inside the card, I added a 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″square of DSP that folded and scored to create the pop up insert.

I added two 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares of Basic White that were stamped and coloured. These coordinate perfectly with the card front.

I used another piece of DSP to add to the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I will have another challenge project to share with you.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

I recently found a bag of Reece Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures Milk Chocolate – I tried one and they are soooo yummy. Fortunately, I stopped at one to ensure I had enough for this matchbox style gift box.

The gift box fits 5 Reece Cups.

I thought that the Wild Wheat cardstock and DSP is quite close to a matte gold look.

The box measures 6 1/4″ x 1 3/8″ x 3/4″ and the outer casing is ever so slightly larger.

I cut the DSP so that it wraps in a continual pattern around the box.

I wrapped a length of Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon around the box and tied a knot. Then I trimmed the ends of the ribbon.

The greeting was stamped in Wild Wheat, on Wild Wheat card and trimmed down. I popped Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the greeting and added it to the top of the box.

Finally, I added some die cut small Wild Wheat flowers and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels for some extra embellsihment.

I popped a Mini Glue Dot under each of the Reece Cups to secure them in place.

This piece of DSP is really very lovely.

Tomorrow I will share my fifth and final card for the week.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY

For the rest of Februry you still have the opportunity to earn FREE Sale-a-bration products with every qualifying $90 order.

This week 10 additional items were added to the collection of SAB products.

Today I have another great Poetic Expressions project.

I chose this piece of Moody Mauve DSP as the basisi for this card. A piece of the DSP was adhered to a slightly larger Moody Mauve panel.

Then I tied a length of Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon with a knot and secured it to the back of the card with Tear & Tape.

I used a Basic White card base to attach the Moody Mauve layers.

Five floral and leaf images were stamped, coloured and die cut. I overlaid them,creating a wreath-like arrangement.

The flowers were then given some shimmer witha little Clear Wink of Stella.

The greeting was stamped, in Mossy Meadow, and cut using one of the Autumn Leaves Dies. I placed it on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

A floral image was stamped inside the card and on the envelope.

It is amazing how you can create so many different looking projects using the same collection of products.

Tomorrow I have a 3D gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
