IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR ANOTHER 3D PROJECT

I may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe more often) how much I enjoy creating 3D projects.

Some are insired by others and some I create myself. I came across this gift bag on the internet and created my own template to make it.

I will be making it during my Facebook Live today – at the same time this post goes live. There will be a Video Tutorial on my Youtube Channel soon.

The New Horizons Suite Collection is used for this project.

The bag is 5″ across the base and 3-3/4″ at the opening. I used the Layering Circles Dies to help create the shape for the bag base.

I used two of this design from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper for the front and back panels of the bag.

Then I used two of the circle dies to cut the Evening Evergreen handles.

I cut lengths of the Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon to pass through the bag handle and tie a double bow.

When I have uploaded a video to Youtube, I will come back and add a link here.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold Card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY & MY GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT CREATION

This week’s Global Design Project theme challenge is Dots & Circles and the team has made lots of projects that feature circles. Make sure you click on the diagram below to go to the site to see what they have created.

As I have mentioned over the last few Wednesday’s, any projects I share on Wednesdays will continue to use the products that I feature during each week. This week it is the New Horizons Suite Collection.

I chose two designs from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper to coordinate with the Blackberry Bliss card base.

For the 5-5/8″x 4″ DSP layer, I cut the circles using the Picture This Dies. I also used this die to cut circles from the lighter piece of DSP and a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

I used Versamark and white embossing powder to stamp and heat emboss the images on the DSP panel and circles. Then Iadhered the DSP panel to the card base and the circles were added to the spaces using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A length of white twine, from the Fan Baker’s Twine, was separated into single strands. Then I tied it into a multiple bow and secured it in place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I used just a few products for this project yet it looks more complex.

It is 3D Thursday tomorrow and I have no idea what I am going to create for you yet. So it’s off to do some thinking and planning.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR TECHNIQUE TUESDAY

The technique I want to share with you today is a version of the SEPIA COLOURING TECHNIQUE.

For this technique I decided to use Cinnamon Cider for the water colouring step.

The first step was to stamp the timber planks image from the On the Horizon Stamp Set using the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink. They were stamped onto a piece of Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper.

The water colour paper was then taped down onto a piece of cardboard. I painted water across the paper before water colouring it.

After it dried , I trimmed the paper down and started adding the other images and elements.

I stamped the tree image three times. Then I used Versamark and white embossing powder to add the grass and birds to the water coloured panel.

Before attaching this panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front, I wrapped and tied a length of Evening Evergreen twine from the Fan Baker’s Twine pack.

When the stamped panel was added to the card base, I cut one of the fence shapes using the Horizon Dies. The Basic Black gate had some Adhesive Sheet attached and this made it quite easy to attach it to the card.

The greeting, from the On the Horizon Stamp Set, was stamped in Cinnamon Cider on to a piece of Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper. I cut it down to 3/4″ and then used the Banners Pick a Punch to create a banner at one end.

THe final step was to add one of the Pebbles Enamel Shapes near the fence.

Phew – now I am back on schedule. Tomorrow I will have a project for this week’s Global Design Project.

Until then, happy stamping.
