TUESDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS & TECHNIQUES INSPIRATION

Today’s card, using the new products associated with the Brayering & Layering page of the new January – April Mini Catalogue, features heat embossing and die cutting. Tomorrow, I will share some brayering tips and techniques.

I chose a stunning gold foil paper design from the Most Adored 12″ x 12″ Specialty DSP to use with this project.

You can see the paper on the top row, of the image above, third from the left – a stunning marbled, gold design.

After adhering the DSP panel to the front of the card I created the die cut and heat embossed elements.

I used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the four Basic White squares for this card. A panel of Adhesive Sheets was attached to the back of piece of Gold Foil and then I die cut the three hearts. After peeling the backing away, I secured the hearts to the squares.

For the 4th square, I stamped the greeting using Versamark and then sprinkled gold embossing powder. Using my Heat Tool, I set the gold powder.

I took a length of gold Simply Elegant Trim to create and secure loops behind the greeting panel.

All of these squares had Stampin’ Dimensionals positioned on the back before being placed on the card front.

Tomorrow, I have a very different looking card for you. It is my card for the first 2024 Colour INKspiration Challenge #158.

Until then, happy stamping.

SATURDAY STAMPIN’ – TIME FOR SOME MORE SHARING

Today I have a card that I have created for this week’s Global Design Project and for Stampin’ Through the Catalogue.

Stampin’ Through the Catalogue is featuring the Bee Mine products and the Global Design Project is a layout challenge.

I played with the Bee Builder Punch to create a new shake for the greeting I chose to use.

I cut a strip of Basic White card stock that was 1 1/8″ wide. One end was inserted into the punch and then turned around a nd punched at the other end.

I was so pleased that this greeting panel turned out so well.

This is how the card came together.

I started by stamping the honeycomb image, in Daffodil Delight, onto the Daffodil Delight card base.

The checkered paper is one the designs in the Bee Mine Designer Series Paper. I wrapped some black twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack, around the DSP and tied a bow.

By adding Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back the DSP I was able to lift it up from the card front to achieve some height.

After punching out the white panel I stamped the greeting and secured it, above the twine, with dimensionals.

The bee was stamped, punched and assembled before adding it to the card.

The card insert and envelope also had the honeycomb image stamped.

The final touch was to add some large black Classic Matte Dots to the card.

This has been a fun week featuring the Bee Mine products from the new Mini Catalogue.

Starting on Monday, I will be introducing a new collection of products. I’ll also have some information about how you can earn coordinating paper from the Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Until then, happy stamping.
