mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello lovely crafters. Thank you for popping by today.

I decided to use the Art in Bloom Bundle for this project. This bundle includes the stamp set and a new Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. I have a project that I’ve made for tomorrow’s post that will show you how this works.

For this card I simply used the stamps and dies.

I started by stamping the background using Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody and Polished Pink. Using the Stamparatus is the perfect way to position the images equally apart – and, parallel! This background piece was then adhered to the card base.

The flowers and leaves were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento before I stamped the colours. Then they were die cut and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed on the card front. The card insert and envelope were also stamped with one of the flower images.

I added Clear Wink of Stella to each of the flowers. Some Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels finished the card.

These are most of the products I used to make this card. I only have a few of the Jewels left on my sheet so I didn’t place them in this photo.

Which ‘Dear Friend’ would you send this card to? I think it would make a great card to cheer someone uo because it is so bright.

Happy stamping.

Hello and thanks for popping by. I have a very sweet treat to share with you today.

Today’s project was inspired by a block of chocolate I found when I was shopping the other day.

I was drawn to the colour of the chocolate – rich pink with a black and gold label. I knew that I could make a great gift box to pop it inside and give as a gift. The Kokopod chocolate is made in Queensland and is made with strawberry dust blended into white chocolate. There’s also some strawberry dust sprinkled on the front of the block.

I knew that I would use a piece of the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper to make the gift box. The birthday greeting, from the Sweet Strawberry Stamp Set, on the label was heat embossed in gold. The label was cut using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I made the strawberry in the same way before punching it out using the Strawberry Builder Punch. The label had Stampin’ Dimensionals positioned on the bottom half of the back so that the flap could fit under the top half.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners of the flap. To finish off the label I added some gold Metallic Pearls.

Who would give this sweet treat to? Who, do you know, would like a strawberry milkshake chocolate?

Happy stamping.

Hello to each of you and thanks for popping by.

My project this morning was to make a birthday card for my eldest daughter to give to one of her friends.

II combined the Biggest Wish Stamp Set with the Hat Builder Dies.

This was also a great way to use up some of my remaining Well Suited Designer Series Paper. This is a very simple fun fold card that has a Night of Navy card base and two panels of the DSP. A second piece of Night of Navy cardstock is attached to the left hand panel of the card. The birthday greeting, from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, was stamped on a piece of Basic White cardstock. I used my Stamparatus so that I could ensure a well inked image.

I wanted to add some strong pops of colour to the card, so I cut five caps in bold colours. The caps were stacked with Stampin’ Dimensionals so that there was added height on the card front.

When the card is opened there are five more caps stacked inside.

I’m happy with the how bright the hats look. This makes the card very cheerful. I hope my daughter likes the card and her friend is pleased to receive it.

Happy stamping.
