mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello again! Thank you so much for popping by again.

Hello and welcome! I am so pleased that you are popping by for the first time.

I would love you to leave a comment, letting me know if you are a regular visitor or new. It would be wonderful to know where you are from and what you enjoy about paper crafting. Leave me any requests you may have for techniques or products or … just about anything.

Today I have another fun fold card, inspired by Tami White, to share today.

I have used the Whimsy & Wonder Suite again for this project – there are so many possibilities using this suite. I chose a different DSP design for this card.

After cutting the Polished Pink cardstock to a quarter A4 base (5-3/4″x 4-1/8″), I cut a piece of the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to 5-5/8″. Then it was scored along the 12″ side, from right to left, at 4″ and 8″ and 1″. After folding the DSP (you can see it below) Multipurpose Adhesive was used to attach the paper, gift boxes side up, to the card base.

I stamped the holly leaves on the Basic White card insert, adhered it to a Polished Pink layer and glued it inside the card. The same image was stamped on the envelope. The berries were coloured using my Polished Pink Stampin’ Write Marker™ and the leaves in Mossy Meadow. Some Clear Wink of Stella was also added.

I stamped the holly leaves image, in Mossy Meadow, onto a piece of Basic White cardstock. The greeting was then stamped in Polished Pink adjacent to the holly, then this panel cut out using one the Stitched Rectangle Dies – most of you know that this is one of my ‘go to’ die sets. It is so easy to use a die and reposition it to adjust the final size – totally versatile!

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to securely attach a length of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon to the 1″ folded piece of DSP. The sentiment was then popped up on the 1″ folded layer using just a few more dimensionals. I fussy cut several gift boxes and layered them on the 1″ layer – some were adhered using Multipurpose Glue and the others with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The boxes were ‘painted’ with Clear Wink of Stella for some added bling.

At last a partial image of the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set! It is super cute.

What do you think? Are you getting a little bit excited with this suite?

Happy stamping.

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

This week I am sharing projects using some of the wonderful new products that you will be able to order from August 3 – woohoo! It’s time for the July – August Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure.

It is Wednesday and it is time for another Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop.

This week we are giving a little sneak peek into the upcoming Mini Catalogue.

Today I have a Christmas in July card to share with you. It features the Whimsy & Wonder Suite. For this project I was inspired by a fun fold card video from Tami White. I adjusted the measurements to suit a quarter A4 base (5-3/4″x 4-1/8″).

After cutting the Misty Moonlight cardstock to the size I mentioned above, I cut a piece of the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper to 5-5/8″. Then it was scored along the 12″ side, from right to left, at 4″ and 8″ and 1″. After folding the DSP (you can see it below) Multipurpose Adhesive was used to attach the paper, bauble side up, to the card base.

I stamped the hanging baubles on the Basic White card insert, adhered it to a Misty Moonlight layer and glued it inside the card. The same image was stamped on the envelope.

I stamped one of the Whimsical Trees onto Blushing Bride cardstock and cut it with the coordinating Christmas Tree Dies. The greeting was stamped in Misty Moonlight and then cut out using one the Stitched Rectangle Dies – most of you know that this is one of my ‘go to’ die sets. It is so easy to use a die and reposition it to adjust the final size – totally versatile!

I used Stampin’ Seal+ to securely attach a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon to the 1″ folded piece of DSP. The Whimsical pink tree was placed over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was then popped up on the tree using just a few more dimensionals.

As soon as the ribbon is tied into a simple knot, the card is secured.

Here are some images of the new products. I’m sorry that I didn’t have the stamp set on the top – I usually place the stamps on top. The image of the ribbon does not do it justice.

Hello and welcome! Thanks for popping by today to see my latest project. I am so pleased that you have.

This week it is time for a sketch challenge this week.

For this challenge I decided to make a Christmas in July card using the Whimsy & Wonder Suite.

I used one of the designs from the Whimsy & Wonder 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to cut the 10 1/2″ strips that I adhered to a layer of Blushing Bride cardstock. Then I wrapped and secured a length of Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon across the decorated layer.

The Christmas greeting is from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set and was stamped using Blushing Bride ink. After trimming the greeting down, I cut a slightly larger Blushing Bride layer. I attached a Wonderful Snowflake on top of the pink layer and then, used Stampin’ Dimensionals, to pop the greeting up.

I cut two additional strips of the DSP to place inside the card and down one side of the envelope. The final step was to place some Elegant Faceted Gems on the card front.

There are some totally gorgeous new products about to be available and I have used some of them on this card. In particular, the Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon is going to be a favourite.

The small gaps between each of the strips of DSP remind me of pattern making/drafting when I would cut a pattern piece into strips and split and spread it open. It has been such a long time since I did any pattern making.

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
