mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello and welcome to my Wednesday post. Thank you for popping by – whether you’re a first time visitor or have been by before, I am so pleased that you are here.

For this project, I combined the All Squared Away Bundle with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders, as well as some other new products.

I started by cutting three of the four floral dies in Basic White cardstock. Then I used a Blending Brush to apply some Granny Apple Green ink across each of the squares. I adhered these three squares to the left-hand side of the Basic Black card base.

The next step was to measure the remaining space on the card front. I cut a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock to those measurements and added texture by using the Checks embossing folder. Then I used one of the Basic Border Dies to cut card, as you can see on the image. Cutting the flower shapes to position over the top of each square was my next task. My favourite flower shape is the one I cut using Real Red cardstock.

The birthday greeting, from the All Squared Away Stamp Set, was stamped in Pumpkin Pie and cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I love knowing that I can create square shapes using the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

I have been using lengths of textured wallpaper for my photo backgrounds for a while now; but, I think it’s time I found some more professional backgrounds. Add that to my list of things to do. I hope to have something new soon.

This card is an interesting combination of curved, straight and angled lines; as well as vivid colours.

What do you think? I would love to hear from you.

Happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to each of you. Thanks for popping by to see what I’ve been up to.

Today I wanted to share a ‘slimline’ card that I’ve made. Don’t be mistaken in thinking that it’s a small card; it’s actually 8-1/2″ long and 4″ wide. I made it this size so that I could use the new Thanks and Hello Embossing Folder and the Biggest Wish Stamp Set.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the large ‘thanks’ greeting around all four corners of the card. The embossed panel was made by using the folder to emboss all three cardstock colours. These were then cut into pieces that allowed me to overlay and adhere each of them at 2″ intervals.

The tricolour panel was popped up over the centre of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I used a length of the Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack, to tie a bow. I did think about adding some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels but then thought it might be too much – what do you think?

The Biggest Wish Stamp Set is going to be so versatile. I love the combination of the big, bold upper case font and the lovely, looping lower case font in this set. I’m looking forward to creating some more projects using it.

Is this set on your wishlist? How would you use it?

Happy stamping.

Hello and thank you for popping by. I am always so grateful to each of you who take some time to see what I have been creating.

I had hoped to post today’s project a little earlier in the day but I’ve been a bit slow today. The good news is that I have also made two more projects and will have them scheduled to share tomorrow and Wednesday.

Today, I’m sharing ‘hugs’.

I stamped the large floral and ‘hugs’ image onto shimmery White cardstock using StazOn Jet Black ink. This allowed me to use Water Painters to colour the image with Blushing Bride, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie. once the ink was dry, I used the Detailed Trio Punch to create the corner features of the image layer.

Using the corresponding die from the Layering Hugs Dies to cut out the White Vellum layer that was positioned over the water coloured image. This made the colouring look even lighter. The die cut layer is not as large as the stamped image, so the water colouring is able to spill out from behind the vellum. I used the small, single floral image on the card insert and envelope before using the Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Write Markers™. Last, but not least, I tied a bow some of the using the Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon.

I had thought about adding some Pale Papaya 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels but I only had two left – and, you all know that I’m an uneven number type of crafter. I will definitely need to order some more of these very, very soon.

What do you think? Who would you send a ‘hugs’ card to?

Happy stamping.
