PREVIEWING THE NEW

Hello my paper crafting friends. I am deloghted that you have taken the time to pop by.

Today I am going to share some gorgeous new products that are in the upcoming July – December 2021 Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure (3 August – 30 September 2021).

And they coordinate with current products in the Annual Catalogue!

The Sale-a-bration Brochure has four paper bundles, including an all black and white Beautifully Penned 12″x 12″ DSP. This bundle coordinates with the Hand Penned DSP. The six designs in the Beautifully Penned bundle are actually the same, uncoloured images from the Annual Catalogue bundle. So, I used a piece of the black and white waves to frame a piece of the coloured floral paper. T

I cut and punched three strips of card stock in Blusging Bride, Daffodil Delight and Misty Moonlight. I used the Banner Triple Punch. Then I used the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder to give texture to those banner pieces.

The Daffodil Delight banner piece was glued onto the DSP layers. Then I tied, trimmed and wrapped a length of the amazing new Blushing Bride Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. I love this new ribbon. The other two banner pieces were popped up onto the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a square of the coloured waves DSP that was also embossed.

The birthday greeting is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. I used strips of the coloured DSP to finish the card insert and envelope. Then I finished the card by adding some of the pink Elegant Faceted Gems.

I am just starting to play with all the new products I was able to preorder. So, I am looking forward to sharing projects using these new products.

What do you think? Who would you send this birthday card to?

Friday’s project will feature the same products but with a very different look.

Happy stamping.

INSPIRED BY A KIT

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see today’s project.

I am about to restart my Coffee & Card classes at a local cafe. It has been a number of weeks since I postponed them for my surgery and recovery. I am so pleased that I now feel confident enough to walk to the class carrying our supplies.

This first get together will feature the Sentimental Rose Card Kit. I want to introduce these ladies to the new range of Stampin’ Up!® Card Kits and go back to some stamping basics. There are three cards for each participant to make.

In preparation for the class, I made three sample cards following the instructions in the kit.

Inspired by the cards in kits, I decided to take inspiration from them to create other cards. This is one way that I can show my beginning stampers future possibilities.

The first of these cards focuses on the So Saffron and Soft Succulent ‘Congratulations’ card.

My first step was to use one of the new Plenty of Patterns Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush to create the pattern in So Saffron on So Saffron cardstock. Then I took a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to apply the two colours using a Water Painter to create a similar effect. I used the same coloured Stampin’ Blends to flick colour speckles oner the water colouring. This panel was secured on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the Sentimental Rose flower to stamp the image three times using So Saffron on Shimmery White cardstock. The three flowers were then fussy cut to achieve the three layers you can see on the card front. Each layer was gently scrunched and then layered together. The leaves were stamped using Soft Succulent ink, fussy cut and adhered to the back of one of the flowers. The second flower was trimmed along the right-hand edge. Both flowers were then adhered to the card front. Each flower then had some Clear Wink of Stella painted on the petals to add some gorgeous shimmer.

The birthday greeting was stamped and trimmed down before attachng it to the card front. As you know, if you have been following my posts, Istamped the rose on the card insert and envelope. Finally, I coloured some Pearl Basic Jewels using my dark Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend.

I love the way that I can use different Stampin’ Up!® products in so many different projects. This makes my craftroom stash so versatile and great value!

This is a perfect birthday card for someone who loves flowers and yellow. Do you know someone like that?

Happy stamping.

POSTAGE STAMP CARD

Hello everyone! I am so pleased that you have taken the time to pop by and see my latest project.

As promised, there is no side step card today! Although, I must confess that I am still featuring the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack.

For this card I have used the black and white images of this DSP pack. I hope that you like what I have created.

My first step was to take the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch and punch out one each of eight (of the 12) designs. Then I adhered these punched elements onto a Poppy Parade card front, ensuring there is relatively even spacing between each of the pieces.

I stamped the ‘thanks’ sentiment, from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, using Poppy Parade ink before fussy cutting it and adhering it to the card front. Then I built up the four central punched DSP elements. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals to build up the layers, two have two layers and two have three layers. The areas with three layers is built up with one DSP layer glued to the card front, one Poppy Parade punched layer popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the final DSP punched piece popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals – this adds amazing height to the card.

You should be able to see these layers in the image above. I added some punched DSP to the card insert and envelope, before attaching Matt Black Dots to the card front.

I am enjoying adding a photo of products used in my projects in my posts. Do you find them a helpful reference? I would like to know.

I love the way that the black and white DSP pieces look against the Poppy Parade card base. It is strong and bold.

What do you think? Who would you send this ‘thanks’ card to?

Happy stamping.
