IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO INTRODUCE A NEW PRODUCT SUITE

It is always fun to start a new week with a new collection of Stampin’ Up!® products.

This week I will share projects made using the new Friends of the ocean Suite Collection from the January – April Mini Catalogue.

I love the bold and brilliant colours that have been used in this collection.

My first project is my interpretation of one of the cards from the catalogue. Catalogues are a great place to seek creative inspiration.

I’m sure that you will easily identify the card I have CASEd.

Rather than landscape I chose a portrait layout and slightly adjusted some of the other elements.

I started with a Pumpkin Pie card base before attaching a Basic White panel to the card fornt.

Then I used the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to a piece of Basic White Thick card.

I stamped the water bubbles in the top section of the card front using Summer Splash ink.

To add colour to this embossed panel I used a Blending Brush and some Pumpkin Pie ink. The blending brush allowed me to add the colour with varied intenity. Then I adhered the panel to the bottom section of the card.

I cut the seahorse, jellyfish, coral and seaweed elements and adhered them above the embossed panel. The little starfish was added to the embossed layer.

After stamping the greeting, onto a strip of Basic White card, I used the wavy die to cut the greeting layer. Then I popped it up on the card using Stampn’ Dimensionals.

The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the little starfish shapes added to them.

Finally, I added some of the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots to the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

MY FINAL FRUIT SALAD CARD FOR THE WEEK

For this card I decided to combine the Everyday Arches Bundle with the Fruit Salad DSP.

I chose a Granny Apple Green card base and then cut the largest of the Everyday Arches dies in Basic White card.

The arched greeting was carefully positioned to fit the large arch. It was stamped in Granny Apple Green.

Then I cut 5 arches, each in a different design of the DSP.

They were layered and adhered together before I added it to the Basic White arch.

After fussy cutting some of the fruit, from the DSP, I attached them to the layered arches using glue and dimensionals.

I added a strip of the DSP to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some of this week’s sequins using both Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pens. They were added to the card front in pairs.

Monday I will have some new projects to share with you.Until then, happy stamping.

A NEW TAKE ON A WATERFALL CARD

Today’s Fun Fold card is a new variation on a waterfall card, inspired by Pamela Blackwell. Thanks Pamela for your idea.

I didn’t have the measurements so I improvised these myself.

As like all my projects this week I have used the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper and the coordinating colours.

After cutting, scoring and burnishing the folds for this card, I added the Granny Apple Green and apple panels.

I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of some Real Red card and die cut the letters needed for the greeing, using the Alphabet A La Mode dies.

I added several Basic White panels for written messages.

One of the apples, from the DSP, was fussy cut and adhered to one of the white panels.

The bottom card panel had one of the Real Red DSP designs added. The same DSP was adhered to the back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some of the same sequins I have used all week. They were coloured using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends pen.

Tomorrow I have one more project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
