A WONDERFUL WEEKEND TO SHARE #simplestamping AND STEPPED UP CARDS

This week I am featuring the Awash in Beauty Suite from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue.

AWASH IN BEAUTY SUITE COLLECTION (ENGLISH)

So, let’s start with some #simplestamping samples. These are some the products used to make the first two cards.

I love the new Rose Gold & White Striped Ribbon.

Super simple – notecard and envelope, two inks and four stamps.

Add some ribbon, cut out the greeting, pop it on a piece of Designer Series Paper and use some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To step things up a little – add some more colours, tools, ribbon and embellishments.

I used the stamps to create my own background paper. I tied a bow in a length of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and wrapped it around the stamped base layer. Then I stamped and cut the flower and leaves that sit up from the card front thanks to Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped, trimmed down and added to the front of the card. I coloured some Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend pen.

I chose two of the DSP designs for this card. After adhering them to the card front, I stamped and cut three flowers and added them. I coloured a length of the Glittered Organdy Ribbon using the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend pen, tied it in a bow and used a Mini Glue Dot to secure it to the card.

The Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend pen was perfect to colour some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to coordinate with the DSP.

Now for the final card.

This card features five of the DSP designs. They were cut into 1″ strips and had a banner end punched before they were adhered to the card.

I stamped and die cut the floral images to pop up on the card using dimensionals.

And, just like the last two cards, I coloured some of the Iridescent Pearls and added them to the card as three pairs.

Tomorrow is Monday Memories, so drop in a see what I have created.

Until then, happy stamping.

FUNFOLD FRIDAY

Today’s Funfold card is a Pop Up Diorama Card. This is the first time that I have made this type of card and I made two – I hope that you like them.

These are the last projects using the Hues of Happiness Collection for this week.

The first card features a Melon Mambo card base and a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper.

The Melon Mambo frame is from the Fabulous Frames Dies set. I stamped the greeting, from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, onto a Basic White panel before wrapping the bow around it. The White Glittered Organdy Ribbon was coloured using the Dark Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend. Then Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the panel and it was placed, at an angle, over the frame.

A few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels were colouredwith Stampin’ Blends and attached to the card front.

When the card is opened the pop up diarama is revealed.

Inside the card, I added several flowers that were die cut from the DSP.

I stamped a flower onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and adhered it inside the card. The same flower was stamped on the front of the envelope.

The depth of the diarama card is 1/2″.

The second card was created in the same way, using Night of Navy as an alternative colour.

Which card do you prefer – Melon Mambo or Night of Navy?

Tomorrow I will begin a new week of projects with a new bundle of products.

Until then, happy stamping.

3D THURSDAY GIFT BOX

For my 3D project today I decided to use the new Cracker & Treat Box Dies in a different way.

CRACKER & TREAT BOX DIES

I cut one cracker box in Night of Navy A4 cardstock and one from a piece of the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. Then I cut away one triangular section from each.

The next step was to use Stampin’ Seal+ to create the top and bottom halves of the cracker gift box.

I used white baker’s twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, to draw in the ends of the cracker and tie a bow.

The diamond shapes that were cut away when the cracker was cut. I adhered them to the Night of Navy cracker bottom.

The greeting, from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, was stamped and trimmed before being threaded on the baker’s twine.

The DSP cracker top slides over the Night of Navy cracker bottom.

This cracker gift box holds a Clear Wink of Stella.

This would make a great team gift. What do you think?

I think that I will make my bonbons this way for Christmas this year.

Tomorrow I will have a funfold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
