TUESDAY IS THE TIME TO SHARE A TECHNIQUE PROJECT

While I am still featuring the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection, I wanted to use the stunning Beautiful Gallery 6″x 6″ DSP pack for this technique project.

There is a lovely Basic Beige and Basic Black floral line art design that I thought would be perfect for a focal point card.

I took two of the same 6″x 6″ DSP designs and trimmed them to 5 3/8″x 3 7/8″ panels.

I chose a flower from one of these DSP panels and cut a circle, using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I used the Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to colour the florals in the circle.

Before attaching this coloured circle to the card front I tied a bow and wrapped a length of the new Basic Beige Classic Ribbon around the DSP panel.

After that step, I added the coloured focal circle followed by the stamped and die cut greeting. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to add these elements.

Then I stamped the greeting, using the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set and Petal Pink ink and then used a banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

I added strips of the DSP to the card insert and the envelope.

Finally, I added some pearls from the Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls to embellish the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

I AM REALLY ENJOYING CREATING MEMORY KEEPING PROJECTS EACH MONDAY

As I mentioned last week, returning to scrapbooking has been a long overdue papercrafting joy.

This week I have chosen one of the amazing new product suites that will be found in the forthcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue. So welcome to a week long sneak peek!

The Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection is made up of two stamp sets and coordinating dies packs. There is also a gorgeous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper pack called Beautiful Gallery with 48 pages – 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. The collection also has a Damask Designs Embossing Folder, Pressed Flower Motifs embellishments and a roll of Basic Beige 3/8″ (1cm) Classic Ribbon.

For my scrapbooking page I used some of the DSP and the the Beautiful Motifs Dies from the soon to be available Suite Collection.

There are five dies in the pack. The three on the right only partially cut cardstock while the other two cut complete floral/foliage shapes.

When the three dies that only partially cut card they can reveal an different coloured card underneath.

For my scrapbooking page, I used the corner fleur de lis inspired die to create photo and journaling corners.

I used a Pretty Peacock 12″x 12″ sheet for the scrapbooking page and then added two of the damask inspired DSP sheets.

The Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set has a stunning damask image that I stamped, in Basic Gray, directly onto the page.

Then I cut and die cut the photo and journaling panels using the corner die. The die cut photo panel then had a slightly larger Basic Gray card panel adhered behind it.

I have added a 6″x 4″ piece of Basic White card to show you where the photo could be positioned.

I haven’t added a title for the page yet because I have yet to find the perfect photo for this page. Then, I will add some journaling to ensure the memory survives.

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FABULOUS FUN FOLD FRIDAY

This is my last project, featuring the Everyday Happiness DSP & Sticker Sheet pack, is a Fun Fold card.

The card is totally inspired by Jackie Bolhuis (Klompens Stampers). Thank you Jackie.

The card front panel had a panel of DSP adhered in place. Then I cut two of the elongated hexagonal shapes, from the Nested Essentials Dies, one in card and the other in DSP.

Before these two pieces were adhered together, I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine around the DSP piece and tied a bow.

This panel was then positioed halfway across the front flap.

The sentiment was stamped and adhered inside the card front.

Then I stamped some floral and leaf images on the card insert and envelope.

It has been an awesome week, especially after having enjoyed OnStage so much.

I’m not sure what I have for you next week … but, it may be some of the new goodies from the upcoming 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
