WEDNESDAY IS THE DAY FOR FRESHLY BREWED PROJECTS

Wednesdays are always fun and challenging. I make two or three projects for different challenges and blog hops. That keeps me busy.

The theme for this week’s Freshly Brewed Projects hop is Paper Piecing.

May be an image of coffee cup and text that says 'Freshly Brewed PROJEGTS'

I used different piecing ‘techniques’ for this card.

The first was piecing together all of these arrow shaped banners. I alternated the colours and created a bricklike look.

The second piecing sample was the VW Combi. I stamped the combi a second time on a piece of the DSP and cut out the bottom half of the van. Then I secured it to the stamped and die cut sentiment. Before placing it on the card, I placed two Crushed Curry banners to it. With a few Stampin’ Dimensionals it popped right up off the card.

The Rustic Metallic Dots look so good with this colour combination and DSP.

The DSP on the combi looks great.

I enjoyed making this card for the blog hop. Make sure you hop around to see what the rest of the Freshly Brewed Project crew have shared.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a gift box for a tasty barbecue marinade.

Until then, happy stamping.

FLOATING BY WITH A NEW TECHNIQUE FOR YOU TODAY

It is Technique Tuesday and I have a floating circle technique to share with you today.

To start, I cut varying widths of the Designer Series Paper and used Stampin’ Seal+ to secure it over some Window Sheet.

The EarlyEspresso card base had a stamped piece of Cajun Craze adhered to it.

A smaller piece of DSP was also added to the card front. I chose the small round stamp to coordinate with the DSP design.

I used the scalloped circle die from the All That Dies to cut three floating circles. To ensure they float, Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed under the DSP strips.

The greeting was stamped and cut using another of the dies from the same set.

The scalloped circle die also leaves a great looking embossed double circle close to the edge.

This such a great masculine stamp set that has everything covered – birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day and more.

Tomorrow I will a few projects to share. One will be for the Global Design Project and another one for the Freshly Brewed Project blog hop.

Until then, happy stamping.

MONDAY MEMORIES – IT’S TIME FOR A SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT

When I saw the He’s The Man Suite, I knew that I wanted to prepare a layout that I could add some photos of the time Rob used his new Weber the first time.

I used a 12″x 12″ sheet of Saraha Sand cardstock for the base of the layout.

The piece of He’s The Man DSP I chose was cut down to 8″x 8″ and adhered to the base – the journaling panel, stars, hooray, barbecue, hand, arrow and tab.

The 6-1/2″x 4-1/2″ photo mattes were added to page.

Then I selected a variety of the pop out elements that are included in the DSP bundle.

This was so quick and easy.

Tomorrow I have a Technique Tuesday project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
