TIME TO ENJOY THE JOURNEY

This week I will be sharing some projects using the ENJOY THE JOURNEY SUITE COLLECTION (160599).

ENJOY THE JOURNEY SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

Suite Collections are a great choice for crafting – they come with more than just a stamp set and coordinating die set. This collection also has a 12 sheet Designer Series Paper pack, a coordinating Three Twine Combo Pack and a a set of Enamel Sticker Icons.

The Greatest Journey is a photopolymer stamp set. It has 6 different sentiments and 7 images. The sentiments combine two different fonts.

I have noticed in this January to April 2023 Mini Catalogue that stamp sets and coordinating dies or punches have the same name! The Greatest Journey Dies have 14 pieces in the pack.

For my first card I decided to focus on the Designer Series Paper. This design of rolling hills is a perfect background for a trio of runners.

I used the grass image to stamp the foreground of the card with Garden Green.

The sentiment was stamped on to Vellum using the Jet Black StazOn ink. I used my Stamparatus to make sure I could then go back with Versamark and Clear Embossing Powder.

The Vellum and Coastal Cabana backing were cut using one of the Seasonal Labels Dies.

I took a length of the Coastal Cabana Twine to thread through the layered labels and then tie around the DSP. The labels were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The silhouette dies in this set are striking and they are going to be great for so many projects.

Tomorrow I have a similar card to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE #138

The colours for this challenge are just soooooo gorgeous. What do you think?

May be an image of bird, nature and text that says '/sRATIN SPIRATION CHALLENGES #138 Daffodil Delight Granny Apple Green Tahitian Tide Highland Heather'

For my card I wanted to use some of the new products from the January – April Mini Catalogue and an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE product suite that is available to customers from March 1. Unfortunately, I think I used a retired embossing folder – oops.

EDIT – The embossing folder is a NEW one! It is one of the new Online Exclusive Products available from the Online Store now. This is one of three embossing folders that are part of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders (161598) – $53AUD.

I started by stamping the large heart image from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and cutting them out using the coordinating Country Bouquet Punch.

After attaching some Adhesive Sheet to the back of a length of Granny Apple Green cardstock I cut the ‘dots and dashes’ design using the Irresistible Blooms Dies.

The backing from the adhesive sheet was pulled away from the cardstock so it could be secured on the Basic White cardstock. This piece was then embossed.

I layered the embossed card over a piece of Tahitian Tide and then secured it to the card front at an angle.

The hearts were thenpopped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Country Bouquet Stamp Set, was stamped and length of Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon was looped behind it.

Make sure you head over to Facebook and the Colour INKspiration Challenge page to see the team projects. We hope you decide to join us in this challenge.

Until next time, happy stamping.

THE LAST OF THE SALE-A-BRATION PRODUCTS

The FREE products in the 2023 JANUARY – FEBRUARY SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE are only available until the end of this month or as long as stocks last.

This project uses the last two products that I haven’t shared with you yet.

The first is the of these is the HOST SET.

Anytime you spend $500 or more, during Sale-a-bration, the exclusive host stamp set is included for FREE!

SCENIC GARDEN HOST CLING STAMP SET
SCENIC GARDEN CLING STAMP SET

This stamp set is perfect for creating a variety of peaceful scenes. Fortunately, there is a stamp set in the same brochure that only has sentiments. I thought they would work together so well.

The SENDING SUPPORT CLING STAMP SET covers a range of different situations that you would send a card for. I think the “SOME DAYS ARE harder THAN OTHERS” sentiment is especially versatile.

SENDING SUPPORT CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH)

I chose a simple black and white palette for this card.

The park bench image from the SCENIC GARDEN STAMP SET was stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and my Stamparatus to create a crisp image.

Then I repeated the stamping process but using Versamark and black Basics Stampin’ Emboss™ Powders. After heat embossing the powder I used one of the Layering Circles Dies to cut the focal point for this card.

Between the two stamped images, I added a folded length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

The sentiment was also stamped, heat embossed, trimmed and popped up using Black Dimensionals.

The same park bench was stamped on the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I will have some news to share with you. Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can place your order with me.
