mmm...Stampin' Time

My last post was a week ago – oops!

The school holidays started a week ago and Rob has these two weeks at home. So, it was a perfect opportunity to order a second bookcase from Ikea and have him help me collect it, although I assembled it.

It was fun spending time rearranging my crafting supplies and need to get three more storage bins to finish.

I made a couple of cards over the weekend, so this morning I photographed the projects ready to post today and schedule another post for tomorrow.

It’s certainly a bit messy but this is my set up when I take photos. I use two tall table number stands and a length of textured wallpaper to create an endless background. There are two lights on adjustable stands – and, as you can see, a floor that needs to be vacuumed.

For the first one I decided to use the TASTEFUL TOUCHES BUNDLE.

I began by stamping the feather image onto the card front using Versamark and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder before using the heat tool. This gives it a glossy version same colour as the card stock – Soft Sea Foam.

The three Very Vanilla panels began as a 3.75″ square that I stamped using Versamark and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder again. When finished, I cut the piece into equal thirds.

I repeated the process using a 4″ x 2.25″ piece of card and die cut it with one of the TASTEFUL LABELS DIES. Then I stamped the feather over the heat embossed images.

As you can see, I have used the same die to cut the label that has the sentiment and feather stamped on it. I trimmed the right hand side to align with the edge of the card.

The flower was fussy cut and CLEAR WINK OF STELLA added. The final touch was to add a few embellishments.

This is a such a lovely card to send to someone to reach out and reconnect.

Who would you send it to?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

The SENIOR YEARS STAMP SET is so, so cute.

For this card I decided to have the couple going out for a walk, arm in arm.

Perhaps this is what Rob and I will look like on our anniversary in 15/20/25 years. We celebrated 35 years this year.

I used one of the dies from the HOME TOGETHER DIES to create the rolling hills and added texture using the TASTEFUL TEXTILES and SUBTLE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDERS. The hills were then layered using dimensionals.

I have even surprised myself by how much fussy cutting I have done recently. It was fun to be able join the couple arm in arm.

I love having lots of gift boxes on hand, ready to fill with goodies , for when there is someone to share my thanks.

A few days ago I posted a birthday gift box I made using the BOHO INDIGO PRODUCT MEDLEY. I have used the same colours and products for this gift box.

This time, I made a lid using the second largest of the CELEBRATION LABELS DIES.

For the greeting label, I die cut two of the smaller dies, from the same die set. When they are overlaid the way I did, the end result is great – super happy with this little discovery.

I am really pleased with how this gift box finished up and now all I need is that special person to give this to.

Now onto an anniversary card.
