IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I want to showcase one of the soon to be released new Stamp’ Up! products – Layers of Beauty Bundle and Decorative Masks.

There are five masks in the Decorative Masks bundle.

For my first card I chose Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for the flowers and Garden Green and Shaded Spruce for the leaves.

After using my Blending Brushes to colour the flowers and leaves, I cut the Basic White layer with the largest of the Rectangle Deckled Dies.

I added this panel to a Gorgeous Grape card base and Shaded Spruce layer.

The greeting was stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder.

I coloured a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon with the Dark Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Blend. After cutting the narrow edge from the ribbon, I frayed the remaining length and adhered it to the embossed panel. Then I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the greeting layer up from the card front.

The narrow ribbon edge was then tied into a bow and attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped a small flower image on the cardinsert and envelope.

Finally, I added some Glossy Dots to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a water coloured floral image to share.

Until then, happy stamping.

SATURDAY IS TIME FOR SOME SWEET THOUGHTS!

Today I want to share a collection of cards and coordinating gift boxes using the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Card Pack and Cards & Envelopes.

I also used some of the smaller Memories & More Cards and Envelopes.

These are the two gift boxes that I made ot hold the cards.

Although these Memory & More products are retiring at the end of this month, you can create similar projects with any other Memories & More collections.

Lift the lid and …

For the lid, I used Pretty Peacock cardstock and Forever Love 12″x 12″ Specialty Designer Series Paper. To tie off the boxes I used Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon.

For the large gift box, I made a total of 17 cards.

Using Memories & More products is such an easy way to create quick and easy cards.

This Monday I will be featuring the Layers of Beauty Bundle and Decorative Masks.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have been showcasing the Beach Day Bundle.

The Photopolymer Stamp Set has 14 stamps – 4 different greetings and 10 awesome beach inspired images.

The greetings combine two different fonts and the images are outlined and perfect for colouring.

To coordinate with the stamps, there are 21 dies in the bundle.

Today’s card is a fun fold card that I made using a piece of 12″x 6″ that was scored at 4″ and 8″.

I also used the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ DSP this week. Several of the designs were perfect for sky and ocean backgrounds.

I am so pleased with the extended beach scene I was able to create.

After cutting, scoring and folding the card base, I began creating each of the beach scenes throughout the card.

For the front I placed a panel of the DSP for the sky and then added the die cut beach element. I used my Dark Pecan Pie Blender Pen to create the sandy flecks across the beach.

I cut the wave piece using one of the Beach Day Dies and adhered it between the beach and the sky.

The next step was to add the palm tree and then the life guard’s hut. The hut was coloured in the same day as the hut from Monday.

After stamping and trimming the greeting, I tucked a loop of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon, from the Combo Pack, behind the greeting. The greeting was popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I stamped and die cut some seagulls to add to the card.

When the card is fully opened there are three 4″ wide panels. I added two DSP panels and a Basic White panel to the card.

Then I added a 12″ wide panel of Crumb Cake card that had been die cut using the wavy die to create a beach waterline. This panel was scored at 4″, 6″, 8″ and 10″. The waves were added to the two outer panels.

I added palm trees, umbrellas, beach chairs, sandcastles, shells, a beachball, surfboards and shells to the beach panel.

To the skyline I added clouds, from the Hot Air Balloon Dies, and a few seagulls.

I am so happy with the beach scenes I created for this card.

I’m just deciding whether I need to go back and add another wave to the centre panel. What do you think? Should I?

So many fun products to play with!

Tomorrow I will have a challenge project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
