Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by today to see my latest project. I am so pleased that you have.

This week it is time for a sketch challenge this week.

For this challenge I decided to make a Christmas in July card using the Whimsy & Wonder Suite.

I used one of the designs from the Whimsy & Wonder 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to cut the 10 1/2″ strips that I adhered to a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I wrapped and secured a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon across the decorated layer.

The Christmas greeting is from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set and was stamped using Blushing Bride ink. After trimming the greeting down, I cut a slightly larger Blushing Bride layer. I attached a Wonderful Snowflake on top of the pink layer and then, used Stampin’ Dimensionals, to pop the greeting up.

I cut two additional strips of the DSP to place inside the card and down one side of the envelope. The final step was to place some Elegant Faceted Gems on the card front.

There are some totally gorgeous new products about to be available and I have used some of them on this card. In particular, the Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon is going to be a favourite.

The small gaps between each of the strips of DSP remind me of pattern making/drafting when I would cut a pattern piece into strips and split and spread it open. It has been such a long time since I did any pattern making.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.

Wecome to today’s project share. Thank you for popping by to check it out.

This week I am going to be giving you a sneak peek at some of the new products that are in the soon to be released July – Decemebr Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Today I am featuring the Whimsy & Wonder Suite – Whimsical Trees Stamp Set, Christmas Trees Dies, Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon.

The DSP is amazing – the colours are non-traditional Christmas colours! I’m sure that you’ll love the colours and designs – Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight.

For this card I used one of the DSP designs, cut it down to 5-1/4″x 3-5/8″ and adhered it to a slightly larger piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then I positioned it at an angle on the Blushing Bride cardstock, glued it in place and then trimmed the overhanging pieces.

The Christmas definition is from the Well Defined Stamp Set. It was stamped in Mint Macaron. After using a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut around the definition I looped and attached a length of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. After attaching some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of die cut panel it was positioned, as you can see.

I used one of trimmed overhang pieces on the card insert and adhered some of the DSP to the envelope. The final step was to add some clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.

The Well Defined Stamp Set is perfect for all the holidays celebrated, in different places, during the second half of each year. As well as the ‘to’ and ‘from’ stamps, there are ‘definitions’ for ‘holiday’, ‘gratitude’, ‘winter’, ‘Halloween’ and ‘Christmas’. The only one that I might not use would be ‘Halloween’, the rest are great.

So, what do you think of the colour combination of the Designer Series Paper? I think that I might need some new decorations this year.

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to today’s post. Thank you for popping by see what I have been up to.

I decided to make a birthday card before I spend the rest of the week making projects using new products from the July – December Mini Catalogue.

The All Squared Away Bundle is a hidden gem in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

I chose Basic White, Misty Moonlight and Polished Pink as the colours for this card. Then I cut one of the Floral Square frames. I stamped the spots image in the pink and blue and trimmed down one of the stamped images to secure behind the frame. As you can see, I created two further squares of the cardstock and images.

The Basic White cardstock was run through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to give the card texture. I wrapped a length of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around this layer before flicking ink from the Stampin’ Blend Pen. This panel was then attached to the card base.

The three squares were then positioned across the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up for that little extra height. A length of the same ribbon was cut in half and tied in a bow around the first length. I cut a spare stamped square in half, diagonally, and placed one on the card insert and the other on the envelope. A small dragonfly was punched and added to the card. A few 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels finished the project.

I love the way the two In Colours, from the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 bundles, work together so well.

So, another birthday card ‘all squared away’.

Happy stamping.
