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

This week I have featured the Magnolia Mood Bundle.

The cling stamp set has four gorgeous magnolia images and three wonderful greetings.

The coordinating dies make it so easy to cut the floral shapes you want.

This week I have also used:

This set has six versatile greetings.

This bundle helps create amazing texture and shapes.

The perfect stamp set fir upcoming weddings.

I wanted to show just how perfectly different Stampin’ Up! products can work together.

Today I have a w-fold card to share.

When using this die I highly recommend attaching Adhesive Sheets to the back of the card stock before cutting it. This makes attaching the flower far less messy than using glue.

After stamping and trimming the greeting, I added a folded piece of Pecan Pie Centre Stripe Ribbon behind it. Then, with dimensionals behinfd it also, the greeting was popped up on the card front.

I added some Adhesive-backed Cork Rounds to the card front.

Inside the card, I attached an 11 1/2″ x 1″ strip of Pecan Pie card. This strip was folded into four equal panels.

I cut four Pecan Pie squares – 2 5/8″ and four Basic White squares – 2 1/2″.

A greeting was stamped on one white panel and the others were stamped with with the magnolia images and coloured with Stampin’ Blends.

These pieces were then adhered together and attached to the 1″ strip.

I also added some Adhesive-backed Cork Rounds inside the card.

I’m lookng forward to using this fun fold again.

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

Until then, happy stamping.

WELL, IT’S WEDNESDAY & I HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO SHARE

After colouring the large magnolia images over the last two projects, I decided to create a magnolia wreath.

I started by adding a 9″ x 9″ piece of Pecan Pie behind the white frame mat.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut 7 magnolias for this framed piece. I also did the same with the magnolia bud and leaves.

The large magnolias were then positioned on the Pecan Pie. Then I placed the buds and leaves. When I was happy with the shape of the wreath I secured the magnolias with dimensoinals. The buds and leaves were then glues into place.

I used a greeting from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set and stamped it in Pecan Pie. It was then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon was folded in half and attached to the back of the greeting.

I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and positioned it, as you can see.

Finally, I added some Lemon Lolly gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Today’s card combines dry embossing and colouring techniques.

Using the Delightful Doily Hrbrid Embossing Folder, I used a panel of White Vellum to create a beautifully textured layer to place over the Calypso Coral card base.

TIP: To adhere this embossed panel, to the card front, I used Mini Glue Dots. I positoined them behind some of the circular floral centres.

The large magnolia image was stamped, coloured and die cut. Before placing it on the card front, I painted it with Clear Wink of Stella.

I used my Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend to colour a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon.

TIP: You don’t always need to stamp an image outline in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. For this image I stamped the flower in Pecan Pie.

The ribbon was then wrapped under the flower and secured with Stampin’ Seal.

The birthday greeting, from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set, was stamped using Calypso Coral. Then the greeting was trimmed down and added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

TIP: Use the same Stampin’ Blend to colour a number of Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins.

The coloured sequins were then added to the card.

The magnolia bud was stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I have a wonderful decor piece to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
