IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FINAL CARD

This week I have been featuring projects using the Seasona of Elegance Suite Collection.

As you can see, this suite collection has so many products included.

My final project this week is not a fun fold card but a simple one.

I started this card by stamping the small trees using Mossy Meadow ink. Then I used the snowflake image and repeatedly stamped it, with Whisper White Craft ink, to build up the snowy effect.

This stamped panel was then trimmed and cut in half.

The top Basic Beige panel then had ‘Christmas’ cut away.

These two smaller panels were then attached to the Mossy Meadow DSP panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Before attaching the Mossy Meadow paenl to the card base, I wrapped a length of Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon around it and tied a bow. The bow was secured in place with a Mini Glue Dot.

I stamped ‘merry’ onto a small piece f Basic Beige card and used the smaller of the rounded square dies to cut it out. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop it up on the top panel.

Strips of Designer series Paper were added to the card insert and back of the envelope to finish them.

Finally, I added some Blooming Pearls to the card front.

I may have a surprise project for you over the weekend – stay tuned.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today I have two cute 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ gift boxes to share with you.

After seeing the larger of the rounded square dies, when I first explored the Peaceful Season Dies, I knew that I wanted to use it to create a 3D project.

The Season of Elegance 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper matches the Gold Foil and gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper perfectly.

The first box uses the Gold Foil Specialty Paper and the Cherry Cobbler/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Cherry Cobbler/Gold Satin Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The second box uses the gold Textured Metallic Specialty Paper and the Basic Beige/Gold paper from the DSP.

I cut 5 of the large rounded squares and adhered four of them to the sides of the gift box.

For the lid, I threaded a length of the Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon through the fifth rounded square and tied a bow. This was then attached to the lid with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The smaller, rounded square was stamped with the seasonal greeting and heat embossed in gold.

The new WOW Embossing Powder is amazing!

I was so pleased with the way the ribbon was easily threaded through the die cut rounded squares.

These gift boxes are great for storing Lindt chocolates!

I have another Christmas card to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION CI#173 PROJECT

The latest Colour INKspiration challenge is such a great colour combination.

For my project I chose the More Than Autumn Bundle.

The Very Vanilla cardbase had a Cherry Cobbler layer and an embossed Shy Shamrock later adhered to it.

I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder to create the texture on the Shy Shamrock layer.

Then all the fun started – three lattes stamped, die cut and coloured. And five stamped, die cut and coloured donuts.

After positioning these tasty morsels across the front of the card I added thedie cut words. It was so easy to place them on the card because I used Adhesive Sheet behind the Very Vanilla card.

I took a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, coloured it with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend, cut it down into strands and tied a bow. After popping a Mini GLue Dot behind the bow, I placed it on Cherry Cobbler coffee cup.

I stamped, cut and coloured additional donuts for the card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen and placed them on the card.

Make sure that you head over to the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see what the rest of the design team have created, as well as all the projects shared by other crafters.For Colour INKspiration, see you again in two weekswith a new challenge.
