MONDAY & THIS WEEK’S MONOCHROMATIC CREATIVE JOURNEY BEGINS

I’m a bit late getting started today – domestic goddess duties prevailed. Now that these less creative endeavours are complete, let me share the projects I have made to share with you this week.

This week I am featuring the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper.

Throughout the week, I will using a range of other new products with the DSP.

To start the week I have made 12 cards, each using one of the DSP designs. I will share 4 cards each day until 3D Thursday and Fun Fold Friday.

All of these 12 cards have a Gray Granite card base and a Basic Black panel. The next panel will be a layer of DSP.

For this card I used one of the large square die, form the Stylish Shapes Dies, and cut a large space from the DSP layer.

This layer had lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals added so that it would sit up off the card base and black layer.

The greeting, from the Mixed Labels Stamp Set, was stamped using Jet Black Memento ink onto Basic White card. Then it was cut using a smaller square die twice – the second cut creating a rectangle.

I popped the greeting up with Dimensionals.

A length of 1/2″ White Woven Ribbon was tied into a bow and secured with a Mini Glue Dot.

Finally, I added some black dots from the Neutral Matte Dots pack.

The card insert and back of the envelope had the same DSP added to integrate the design.

Flip the DSP and this is the design.

This is a simpler design.

The greeting is the same as the previous card and the only additions were a length of the same 1/2″ ribbon and one of the Neutrals Dots.

For this card I coloured a length of Basic White Twine black and then wrapped it around the DSP and black card layer, before tying a bow. I popped a Mini Glue Dot behind the bow to secure it.

The greeting and Neutrals dots were added as well.

The DSP for this card was cut using a smaller square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The same greeting panel was used. A Gray Granite banner was cut and attached under the greeting. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I lifted the greeting up from the card front – I do love a little dimensio on my cards!

I added a single black Neutrals Matte Dot to the card front.

These are most of the products I used for these projects – unfortunatelt, I left the white and black twine from the image.

Tomorrow, I have four more cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!

In the words of Frank Sinatra, Valentine’s Day is all about … saying somethin’ stupid like, “I love you”.

These are the last two projects for the 2025 Valentine’s Day week.

The gold foil shaped heart is a perfect embellishment for this card.

I used the Marbled Elegance Specialty DSP, Hearts of Elegance Dies and Adoring Hearts Shaped Stamp Set for this card.

The next card uses the same Marbled Elegance paper to cut six hearts. The Hearts of Elegance Dies have been the perfect dies for this week’s projects.

I used the Sale-a-bration Heart Shaped Bundle to stamp and die cut the greeting.

The final step was to add some gold sequins.

I’m not sure what products I will be featuring next week – you’ll need to pop back on Monday to see my weekend crafting progress.

Until then, happy stamping.

VALENTINE’S DAY 3D PROJECTS TO SHARE TODAY

This week I have been including some love songs in each post because this week’s theme is Valentine’s Day.

I found a song from Nirvana entitled Heart-Shaped Box – perfect for today’s 3D projects.

The first is a Lindt chocolate filled gift box.

I used one of the Hearts of Elegance Dies to crete a window for the gift box lid and placed a panel of Window Sheet inside the lid. It was secured with Stampin’ Seal +.

The heart image and greeting were stamped using Poppy Parade and then cut. I seem to be getting better at my fussy cutting skills!

The next project is a gift tag.

I found this Valentine’s Day biscuit when I was shopping last week and thought it would be perfect to add a gift tag to it.

Using the Everyday Arches helped to make a lovely looking layered tag.

The gold Open Weave Trim made a soft bow.

The last two projects for Valentine’s Day are ready to share with you tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.
