IT IS SUNDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME #simplestamping AND STEP IT UP CARDS

Yesterday I shared a video sneak peek of some of the exciting new products from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue. So, today, it is time to catch up with my usual weekend posts.

This week I am featuring one of these new product collections – the Tea Boutique Suite Collection.

The first two cards are seriously, extra #simplestamping projects.

I used Basic White Notecards & Envelopes, acrylic blocks and adhesives; along with these little goodies.

Card #1 is great for people who have never stamped before. They will go ‘wow’ when the ink transfers from the stamp to the card.

The teacup was stamped using Crushed Curry ink and the leaves were stamped in Parakeet Party.

The tea tag, stamped in the same col was fussy cut. I used my Take Your Pick Tool to punch a small hole to thread the twine through. Then I used a mini glue dot to secure the twine to the back of the tag. The tea tag has a Stampin’ Dimensional behind it to pop it up over the stamped teacup.

The small flower was stamped insode the card and on the envelope.

For this card I added one more colour and a second stamp. I used a strip of Post It note to mask the tops of the bottom two cups and create this tea cup stack.

Now for something different.

This time I stamped the tea cups directly onto a piece of the Tea Boutique 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. I also added an extra colour – Sweet Sorbet.

Let’s start stepping it up.

Using the same colours as before, this time I have added the Teacup Dies to the range of products I’m using.

I also stamped the flower image on Crushed Curry DSP layer.

For this card, I added the Banners Pick a Punch to cut the banner ends in the five different strips of DSP.

I used my Dark Tahitian Tide Stampin’ Blends pen to colour these Elegant Faceted Gems for the card front.

The teacups for this card have been layered differently as well.

This card has 5″x 3-1/2″ floral DSP front with Sweet Sorbet & Basic White Baker’s Twine wrapped around it and tied in a bow.

The teacups were die cut before being embossed with the splatters folder from the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.

I coloured the same gems using the Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends pen.

This soon to be available Tea Boutique Suite Collection is so lovely. I’m looking forward to creating with it this week.

Well, that was fun. From super #simplestamping to stepped up cards – 6 in total. I hope you like what I have shared today.

Tomorrow, we’re back to Memories on Monday.

Until then, happy stamping.

TODAY I’M SHARING A SNEAK PEEK OF SOME OF THE AMAZING PRODUCTS FROM THE SOON TO BE RELEASED 2022 – 2023 ANNUAL CATALOGUE

It is Saturday and that would normally mean a #simplestamping project. However, I have something different for you today.

I recently filmed a sneak peek video of the new products I was able to pre-order from a select list. For me, this is one of the many benefits I enjoy as an Independent Demonstrator. CLick on the image below to see the video.

Tomorrow I will return with my #simplestamping and Step It Up Sunday projects.

Until then, happy stamping.

WELCOME TO FANTASTIC FRIDAY & ANOTHER FUN FOLD PROJECT TO SHARE

Today’s Fun Fold card is a Triple Panel Shaker Card. The trickiest part was ensuring that each of the three layers, where the shaker domes sit, align.

This is the last Gumball Greetings Bundle project this week.

The card base measures 11-1/4″x 5-3/4″. It was scored, along the 11-1/4″ side; at 3-3/4″and 7-1/2″.

After stamping, cutting and assembling the one complete shaker gumball machine, I used it to position the places to die cut the dome shape on the front and inside card flaps.

When these spaces were cut, pieces of the new In Colour DSP sheets measuring 5-5/8″x 3-5/8″ were cut and adhered to card front and the inside layer. After the glue dried, the dome die was positioned inside the space and cut. (See below)

The front of the card feature three ‘I Chews You’ sentiments that were die cut using the smallest of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I used 6″ lengths of three of baker’s twine, from the 2022 – 2024 In Colour™ Baker’s Twine Pack, to tie this bow and attached it to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot.

For this inside layer, I made a Parakeet Party gumball machine.

As you can see – three more square die cut sentiments in Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahition Tide.

The central layer is where the complete gumball machine shaker card was adhered. I used Tahitian Tide cardstock for the machine.

The smaller gumball machine image was stamped on the envelope and inside the card.

This was such a fun card to make, although a little challenging.

After a week of Gumball Greetings projects, it is time to move on to a new bundle tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.
