mmm...Stampin' Time

Today I have a Peekaboo Slider Card to share with you.

This is the first time I have made this fun fold card. I did some online research looking at Pinterest, Google images and YouTube. After seeing a couple of different styles, I opted for one that Lisa Curcio demonstrated in 2020. I adjusted her measurements to suit A4 cardstock.

Friday also means that this is the last project using the All Together Collections.

Lisa used a 2″ circle punch that is now retired so I swapped it for the Label Me Lovely Punch.

This card is made up of three separate pieces.

The first Real Red piece measures 8-1/8″x 4-1/8″ and is scored at 2-3/4″. It forms the front of the card and the slider piece that the sentiment is stamped on. A piece of All Together Designer Series Paper was adhered to the front before the top right hand corner was punched out.

The inside Real Red piece measures 8-1/4″x 4-1/8″ and is scored at 4-1/8″.

The back Basic White panel meaures 6″x 4-1/8″ and is scored at 5-3/4″.

The front and both sides of the inside panel are punched in the same place – so that you can see straight through them.

When you open the card, the 2-3/4″ Real Red section from the front panel slides across revealing a stamped sentiment. It was stamped on Basic White cardstock and punched out before being adhered directly in the space from the inside piece.

The inside Real Red piece had a piece of DSP adhered to the left hand half. I also attached a small panel of Basic White cardstock for a personal message to be written.

The leaf design on this DSP is my favourites from this collection. Lots of white space, beautifully shaped leaves, simple line drawing style and lots of black dots.

This view gives you an idea of how the three pieces of cardstock are connected. After all the DSP is adhered and the three identical spaces are punched out, this is how they are joined: the left hand side of the Real Red inside panel is glued along the right hand side front card panel, and then the 1/4″ scored area of the Basic White card back is adhered to the back of the right hand half of the Real Red card insert.

I have project on my list of new video tutorials to make. It should be easier to follow how to assemble the card by watching rather than the scant information above.

I used the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon to create a #tammybow. A length of the same ribbon was wrapped around the card front and secured inside. The #tammybow was then attached using a Mini Glue Dot.

From tomorrow, I am going to vary my usual routine. I will still keep the daily project themes but will feature a stand alone stamp set from the 2022 January – June Mini Catalogue.

For #simplestamping Saturday and Step It Up Sunday, I will be featuring the Host Stamp Set Mischievous Mice.

Until then, happy stamping.

Today I have a triangular gift box to share with you. When I saw the heart hands cut out, I knew that I wanted to see what they would look like if they were attached to vellum and illuminated.

The box if 5″ high and each panel of the triangle is 3-7/8″ wide. The Real Red base is 1″ high and it is adhered to the vellum with Stampin’ Seal+.

After I placed the lid on the box, I positoined the heart hands on each panel.

I used some Mini Glue Dots to help postion and hold a length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon around the base. Then I tied a small bow on the corner.

The little battery operated tea light glows subtly through the vellum.

The gift box could easily be filled with Hershey Kisses or some other chocolate treat.

Just add cardstock, vellum and adhesive to make a gift box like this.

Friday is Fun Fold day and I have a Peekaboo Slider Card to share using the All Together Collection.

Until then, happy stamping.

For those of you who love stamping and beingencouraged to move outside of your comfort zone, then I recommend that you participate in the Colour INKspiration colour challenges. There are two each month and are a great way to get you creating.

I loved the image that inspired the challenge colours for #CI118. Although I must confess that tring work these colours in with my featured products, this week, was a little challenging.

So my card could best be described as “Here Together” meets #CI118. I hope you like it.

I built up the card by starting with a Very Vanilla base with a Basic Black layer. Then I adhered a Garden Green layer under a Basic Gray piece of cardstock. This green and gray combination was then embossed using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.

My next step involved attaching Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cutting the “You Matter”, from the Here For You Dies. I removed the backing from the adhesive sheet and positioned these words on the card front.

I stamped the “heart hands” on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and trimmed it down to the size you see. Then I used my Dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend to colour the heart shape.

Before attaching this sentiment piece to the card front, I punched some White Vellum and Soft Succulent leaves, using the Sprigs Punch. After these leaves were positioned, I added the sentiment panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I tied a #tammybow from a length of Soft Succuent Open Weave Ribbon and secured it in place using a Mini Glue Dot.

By then end of this week I will have 14 projects using the All Together Collection. I still have so much more to learn about the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends Collection and how they can be used to achieve a wide and rich variety of colour.

One more project to come today – one for the Freshly Brewed Project blog hop.

Until thin, happy stamping.
