mmm...Stampin' Time

Although it is SPRING in Australia, it is FALL (Autumn) in the Northern hemisphere.

So, while I am excited to be planning to make lots of colourful Spring projects, I am also creating Autumn/Fall inspired projects.

For this card I used the limited release QUITE CURVY VARIETY BUNDLE. Demonstrators are able to order it during the month of October and it will be available to customers between November 3, 2020 and January 4, 2021.

For this card, I used the second stamp set in this bundle. I chose the leaves stamp and stamped it onto FLUID 100 WATER COLOUR PAPER, using SADDLE BROWN STAZON and then water coloured the image using Crushed Curry, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Shaded Spruce and Terracotta Tile. This leaf garland was then die cut.

I also stamped and water coloured the three birds, using Crushed Curry and Terracotta Tile.

Each of these water coloured images then had CLEAR WINK OF STELLAR liberally applied.

The card front was created using the CURVY DIES and the space was created with a piece of VELLUM.

‘HOORAY FOR YOU’ was stamped onto the Cajun Craze card stock using the inkpad of the same colour.

The final touch was the five thread bow.

I really love adding Wink of Stellar to my projects … what do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

Although I am unable to display the stamp set and dies from this early release bundle, these are the other products used.

I wanted to use my ORNATE STYLE STAMP SET in a way that I hadn’t done before – to use it to create a spotlight card.

The idea was to have a coloured image on the front of my card and a stamped yet uncoloured image inside the card – with a ‘window’ die cut into the card front, using the LAYERING CIRCLES DIES.

The two sets of WARETCOLOUR PENCILS and a BLENDER PEN were used to colour the card front image.

As you can see, I used ORNATE GARDEN SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER to embellish the envelope flap and the inside of the card front (not photographed).

A piece of BUMBLEBEE GINGHAM RIBBOM was attached to the front of the card, before the DSP was adhered to the inside of the card fromt.

The sentiment used on the front of the card was from the ORNATE THANKS STAMP SET and stamped in GRANNY APPLE GREEN. It was trimmed and then popped up using dimensionals.

The envelope and inside of the card both had partially stamped images as the main image.

Finally, ‘for everything‘ was stamped on the inside of the card.

This was an interesting type of SPOTLIGHT CARD to make. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

It has been such a long time since I made a waterfall card. So, I decided to make one with a Christmas card.

After looking through my new stamp sets, from the August through December Mini Catalogue. I decided to use the GIFT WRAPPED STAMP SET.

That meant that I would need to reconfigure the measurements for the waterfall panels because the ribbon images are larger than the standard instructions that so many lovely demonstrators and stampers have shared online.

I chose Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White as my colour theme.

This was also a great opportunity to use some of the products from the QUITE CURVY VARIETY BUNDLE that is available to demonstrators this month and for customers from 3 NOVEMBER 2020–4 JANUARY 2021.

The bundle has two stamp sets and I used the CURVEY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET (155364). The curved stars stamp is so gorgeous.

I also used a piece of paper from the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (155969). It is such an amazing bundle of DSP in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. The designs are perfect for Christmas but can be used for other occasions as well.

The grid style paper is definitely a favourite.

Each bow design was stamped using Shaded Spruce and then coloured using STAMPIN’ BLENDS.

As the tab is pulled down, each bow is presented and the greeting is slowly revealed. The greeting is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The final panel has the curved stars image from the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET and the greeting and mistletoe is from the TAG BUFFET STAMP SET.

The tab is a 1/2″ strip of Shaded Spruce that has been punched using the BANNERS PICK A PUNCH.

This card does not open out, like most cards, but there is a piece Whisper White cardstock on the back that will allow a space to write a message. It has the same curved stars image, from CURVY CHRISTMAS, and another greeting from GIFT WRAPPED – “Wrapped especially for you”.

I was very pleased with the way this waterfall card turned out. What do you think?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

I only have a partial visual product list to share with you today because the CURVY CHRISTMAS STAMP SET or the CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″X 6″ DSP is not yet available. These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
