Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by to see today’s project.

After yesterday’s Fine Art Floral blog hop card, I’m back today with one more Hand-Penned project to share. From tomorrow I will start featuring a new suite of products that I will have projects ready to share with you.

To stamp the floral image, I started by stamping the outline in Tuxedo Black Memnto ink. The flowers were then stamped using the infill stamp and the new 2021-2023 In Colour Pale Papaya. The infill stamps are not designed to colur in the entire flower – there are meant to uncoloured spaces. The same was done with the leaves, using the new Soft Succulent ink. While I was stamping this image, I repeated it for the card inert and envelope. The next step was to die cut the flower for the card front.

The Soft Succulent landscape card base has a piece of Designer Series Paper adhered to it. There is . I used the stitched scallop edge die, in the Penned Flowers Dies, to create the scalloped panel for the card front. After tying a bow in a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon I wrapped it around the scalloped panel and secured it with Tear and Tape. The panel has Stampin’ Dimensionals to lift it up off the card surface.

The die cut flower is also popped up on the panel with Dimensionals. The sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent and cut with a rectangular die from the Beautiful Trees Dies. And, surprise, I used some Genial Gems.

The projects that I have made over the last week have focused on Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent, with Evening Evergreen used for my ANZAC Day card on the 25th April. I will definitely be using the others very soon. I love that there are coordinating gems, ribbon, ombre gift bags, Blends and markers to work along with the cardstock.

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by for another Wednesday Freshly Brewed Project.

Our theme this week is FINE ART FLORAL. It’s been a little while since I’ve used this suite.

I have seen quite a few cards recently using some interesting closure techniques. One of them used a butterfly that folds in half and slides through a narrower slit on the card front. (I am sorry that I didn’t write down the name of the crafter who shared it.)

For the closure on this joy fold card, I stamped one of the flower images from the Art Gallery Stamp Set onto a piece of Fine Art Floral DSP. Then I fussy cut the flower. The space the flower slides through was made using the Label Me Fancy Punch.

I’m not sure about the top panel yet. It is difficult to see from the photo but this layer has six different strips of washi tape. I made the washi tape! Sara Douglass, CEO of Stampin’ Up!®, shared a Facebook Live ast week showing how to make your own washi tape. Woohoo – I have missed washi. Here is how to make it – cut a piece of Adhesive Sheet to 6″x 6″ and a piece of tissue paper to the same size. Pull the backing from the adhesive sheet slowly away from one corner and align the the tissue paper then press it down. Continue to pull back the backing and attach the tissue paper. Then I stamped the images, from the Art Gallery Stamp Set, in coordinating colours. The stripes were created by drawing lines using Stampin’ Blends.

TIP: Make sure you give the inks time to dry or they will smudge.

When it was dry I cut the strips into the different widths. Then I pulled off the backing from the adhesive sheet and placed it on the Basic White layer.

When I released the closure, the flower sits nicely amongst the flowers on the DSP.

There is heaps of space inside the card to write a heartfelt birthday greeting.

Another birthday card to pop in the box – you can never have too many on hand.

Now, make sure you pop over and see what the other Freshly Brewed Projects are:

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by to see what my latest project is.

I have been creating with the Hand-Penned Suite over the past few days and I am loving it. The soft and subtle colours, the open drawing style and the images are so gorgeous.

I used the oval banner shape from the Hippo & Friends Dies again. This time I used it to cut out a ‘window’ to feature the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. Once this panel was cut, I used the new Bark 3D Embossing Folder to add texture.

The Cinnamon Cider 2020-2022 In Colour Ribbon ties into a lovely bow. The sentiment is from the Hand-Penned Stamp Set – I like the mix of fonts that so many Stampin’ Up!® stamp set sentiments have.. The Beautiful Trees Dies has a second rectangular die that I used to cut the sentiment with. It fits perfectly in the bottom of the ‘window’ frame.

Adding thin strips of Designer Series Paper is such an easy way to finish a card beautifully. And, of course, Genial Gems were needed to zhuzh it up. The bark texture is a great addition to our embossing folders.

“Anything is possible” offers a way to encourage someone to strive for their goals. Who would you want to encourage? What goals do they have?

Happy stamping.
