TIME FOR SOME FINE ART

Hello and welcome. Thank you for popping by and seeing what I have created for you today.

While I’m waiting for my delivery of brand, new and exciting products from the soon to be available 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue from Stampin’ Up!®, I am revisiting some of the products I have from the January to June Mini Catalogue.

It seems like ages since I used the Fine Art Floral Suite, so I made two cards to share today.

I love the texture the Stampin’ Up!® artists created when they painted the floral canvases that were used for the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. The colours are rich and vibrant.

I used my Treasured Tags Pick a Punch to make the Merry Merlot background for the birthday die cut greeting. If you haven’t seen the Floral Gallery Dies before, there are are two sizes of the scalloped label dies. The one I used here is the longest one. You can click on the image to go to my online store.

This is the second card.

I am so pleased that both the ribbons I used for these cards are carrying over into the new catalogue – Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon and 1-1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

ART GALLERY PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET

The greetings/sentiments in the Art Gallery Stamp Set are so versatile – they cover just about every occasion.

I enjoy having a variety of cards on hand and this stamp set helps make that possible.

I hope you like today’s projects.

Happy stamping.

ANOTHER BABY PROJECT

Hello – thank you for popping by. Today I have another baby card to share.

I made this card during my Facebook Live on Wednesday.

I had planned to make a coordinating gift box but time ran away from me. So, after the Live, I made it afterwards.

I used a piece of Mint Macaron card stock measuring 12″x 10-1/2″. Along the shorter edge, I scored at 2-1/2″, 5″, 7-1/2″ and 10″. Initially I thought each side would measure 2″ but I needed it to be wider to fit the Baby Pull Toy images on the front. So instead of using one of the tag punch, I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round off the corners and the Label Me Fancy Punch to punch the slot for the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

The box is 9-1/2″ tall and there are lots of possible gifts to pop inside the box. What would you put inside?

Happy stamping.

ONLY FOR THOSE WITH GREEN FINGERS

Hello! How has your crafting week been so far? Thank you for popping by to see today’s project and I hope that it inspires you.

I wanted to make a 3D project using the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle.

I used Shimmery White card stock to water colour the belly band background. Balmy Blue for the sku, Granny Apple Green for the grass and Soft Suede for the soil. The Water Painters make water colouring so easy. While the ink was drying, I started the die cutting – the chicken coop/barn, the wire fence, the corn stalks and the ears of corn.

This is such a fun project to give to someone who enjoys gardening and growing their own vegetables. I thought the greeting was fun to use – if I give this to someone who likes growing their own food because I would tell them ‘you can do this’ because I know that I can’t. The sentiment is from the Forever Fern Stamp Set.

Then it was time to assemble. Using Adhesive Sheets behind the Basic Gray card stock makes securing the wire fences to the front of the band. The Acetate Card Boxes are a prefect size for the two packets of corn seeds I placed inside.

TIP: when I am forming the acetate box, I place a mini glue dot on each small flap that make up part of the bottom of the box. This secures the bottom of the box and stops the bottom flap opening.

Who would you send this green thumb gift to? I think I will send this to a demonstrator I know who does grow her own vegetables.

Happy stamping.
