mmm...Stampin' Time

Hello – welcome! Thank you for popping by. I hope that you like today’s Blog Hop project.

It’s Wednesday – so it’s time for a FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS BLOG HOP. This week’s theme is SALE-A-BRATION STAMP SETS.

The stamp set I chose to use is the BERRY BLESSINGS STAMP SET. It is a set that comes bundled with the BERRY DELIGHTFUL DESIGNER SERIES PAPER. You can still get this bundle for FREE when you place a $180 order (before postage) but BE QUICK, you only have four more days before Sale-a-bration is over.

For this card I wanted to use the blueberry stamps to create my own DSP. Photopolymer stamps are perfect for this because it is so easy to align the images.

I used Pacific Point and Granny Apple Green. For the infill colour, I stamped off once to lighten the tone.

Now I must cinfess that I have been super cheeky. I was inspired to use these colours because of another group I submit my projects to:

After I stamped the greeting, I used one of the dies from the SNAIL DIES to cut it out. I adhered the greeting piece under a panel of my stamped before placing it over another panel from the DSP.

To finish the inside of the card and envelope, I stamped the blueberries image.

I added a few of the HOLIDAY RHINESTONE BASIC JEWELS to give this card a bit of bling.

Hello and welcome to my latest post. I appreciate you popping by.

I have made another card using the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE, using a colour palette similar to the last two projects I shared.

This time, I chose the corner die from the set. I cut two corner pieces in Basic White so that could colour them and use them as a frame for the sentiment. Dimensionals were used to lift the leaves frame up off the card base.

One of the features of this die set is that three of them both cut and emboss the card stock.

I stamped one of the leaves, in Crumb Cake, across the front of the card base.

The colours I used were Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green. I used a Blending Brush to colour the leaves before applying Frost White Shimmer Paint over one of the corner pieces.

The greeting is stamped usng Crumb Cake and cut using a die from the STITCHED SO SWEETLY DIES.

I love using LINEN THREAD to create a bow from mulitple lengths of thread. After I attached the bow to the card front, I added a few ELEGANT FACETED GEMS.

Not all the leaves were adhered – I wanted to be able to curl some of them up to create more ‘texture’ to the card.

I am so pleased with the way this card turned out. What do you think? Let me know.

Happy stamping.

Hello and thank you for popping by! I hope that you like what see and continue to visit me.

Today I am still featuring the TRANQUIL THOUGHTS BUNDLE and have a large slimline card to share.

I had an idea floating around in my mind – I wanted to have a Basic White panel that I could cut one of the square leaf dies three times, rotating it as I went. This idea reminds me of tryptich art works, a bit like this example I found.

After the three dies were cut, I added some Granny Apple Green using a BLENDING BRUSH and then painted FROST WHITE SHIMMER PAINT over the leaves as well.

The SHIMMER PAINT leaves such a stunning effect.

I stamped the sentiments in Crumb Cake and cut them down using my stampin’ Trimmer. I almost always use dimensionals to pop my greetings up on. Finally, I added some ELEGANT FACETED GEMS in each space.

Using Crumb Cake again, I stamped one of the leaves on the inside white panel and on the envelope.
