IN WITH THE NEW …

Wecome to today’s project share. Thank you for popping by to check it out.

This week I am going to be giving you a sneak peek at some of the new products that are in the soon to be released July – Decemebr Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Today I am featuring the Whimsy & Wonder Suite – Whimsical Trees Stamp Set, Christmas Trees Dies, Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon.

The DSP is amazing – the colours are non-traditional Christmas colours! I’m sure that you’ll love the colours and designs – Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight.

For this card I used one of the DSP designs, cut it down to 5-1/4″x 3-5/8″ and adhered it to a slightly larger piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then I positioned it at an angle on the Blushing Bride cardstock, glued it in place and then trimmed the overhanging pieces.

The Christmas definition is from the Well Defined Stamp Set. It was stamped in Mint Macaron. After using a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut around the definition I looped and attached a length of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. After attaching some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of die cut panel it was positioned, as you can see.

I used one of trimmed overhang pieces on the card insert and adhered some of the DSP to the envelope. The final step was to add some clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.

The Well Defined Stamp Set is perfect for all the holidays celebrated, in different places, during the second half of each year. As well as the ‘to’ and ‘from’ stamps, there are ‘definitions’ for ‘holiday’, ‘gratitude’, ‘winter’, ‘Halloween’ and ‘Christmas’. The only one that I might not use would be ‘Halloween’, the rest are great.

So, what do you think of the colour combination of the Designer Series Paper? I think that I might need some new decorations this year.

Happy stamping.

ALL SQUARED AWAY

Hello and welcome to today’s post. Thank you for popping by see what I have been up to.

I decided to make a birthday card before I spend the rest of the week making projects using new products from the July – December Mini Catalogue.

The All Squared Away Bundle is a hidden gem in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.

I chose Basic White, Misty Moonlight and Polished Pink as the colours for this card. Then I cut one of the Floral Square frames. I stamped the spots image in the pink and blue and trimmed down one of the stamped images to secure behind the frame. As you can see, I created two further squares of the cardstock and images.

The Basic White cardstock was run through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder to give the card texture. I wrapped a length of Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon around this layer before flicking ink from the Stampin’ Blend Pen. This panel was then attached to the card base.

The three squares were then positioned across the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up for that little extra height. A length of the same ribbon was cut in half and tied in a bow around the first length. I cut a spare stamped square in half, diagonally, and placed one on the card insert and the other on the envelope. A small dragonfly was punched and added to the card. A few 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels finished the project.

I love the way the two In Colours, from the 2020-2022 and 2021-2023 bundles, work together so well.

So, another birthday card ‘all squared away’.

Happy stamping.

HUGS @ COFFEE & CARDS

Hello and thank you for popping by today. I’m delighted that you have taken the time to see what I have made.

My Coffee & Card classes restarted last week. It was lovely to spend time with lovely, local ladies as we made some super easy cards from the Sentimental Rose Card Kit.

I asked Monday’s group what type of card they would like to make next time. After looking through the Annual Catalogue, they decided on a feminine birthday card using the Sending Hugs Stamp Set.

The large image is stamped using the Stamparatur and Jet Black StazOn onto Shimmery White cardstock. It was coloured using both of the Watercolour Pencils Assortment Packs. I used a Blender Pen to blend to colour smooth.

This piece of cardstock was cut using the second largest Stitched Rectangle Dies. I also cut a larger Flirty Flamingo layer. These layers were stcuk together at an angle. I coloured a length of White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends pen. The bow was tied and secured using a Mini Glue Dot and then wrapped around the two die cut layers.

I partially stamped the ”on your special day” for the “on your” die cut piece. The “birthday” sentiment was an individual stamp. The front panels were secured on a Basic White card base. I stamped and coloured the single floral image on the inside of the card and the envelope.

The final touch was to colour some Opal Rounds using the dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends pen.

I went on to make two other cards that I can share at our next Coffee & Card class to show other ways the bundle can be used.

For this card, I started by stamping the single flower image across a piece of Flirth Flamingo cardstock. Then I used the largest of the Layering Hugs Dies to cut out the centre.

A piece of Basic White cardstock had Adhesive Sheet attached and cut using the same die. The Flirty Flamingo layer was centred on the front of the Misty Moonlight card base.using quite a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.

After peeling off the Adhesive Sheet backing, the white die cut piece was placed inside the negative space. The “on your birthday” elements were made in the same way as the first card. I added three Opal Rounds (but it seems that one has fallen off – oops).

For the second card, I stamped ‘birthday’ (from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set) twice and then embossed a Basic White panel using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I also embossed a smaller panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock using the dots Checks & Dots Embossing Folder. After they were glued together, a length of white Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack was then tied, cut and wrapped around the front panel. This was then adhered to the Misty Moonlight card base.

The Flirty Flamingo die cut piece, from the earlier card, was then popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A small piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock, with a piece of Adhesive Sheet attached, was used to die cut the letters from the ‘hugs’ die.

I am hoping that everyone who comes to Coffee & Card this week enjoy making the first card. There are some new techniques to try. I am also hoping that the other two cards spark interest in trying other techniques.

Which card would you like to make? What techniques would like to learn?

Happy stamping.
