IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I am highlighting the Magnolia Mood Bundle.

This gorgeous stamp set, and coordinating dies, is perfect for so many cards and occasions.

For this card, I also used the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies, and the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set.

I started by stamping the large magnolia image using Pecan Pie ink. After die cutting the flower, I coloured it using Bubble Bath and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. The flowers and leaves were then painted with Clear Wink of Stella.

Using the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder and coordinating dies, I embossed and cut a piece of White Vellum. I also cut a piece of Bubble Bath card.

After overlayig these two pieces and securing them with Mini Glue Dots, I adhered them to the front panel.

I tied a small bow in a length of Bubble Bath coloured Silver & White Sheer Ribbon and wrapped it around the front panel. A Mini Glue Dot secrued the bow in place.

The large magnolia image was stamped in Pecan Pie before being coloured with Stampin’ Blends Pens – Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lolly. Then I painted the flower with Clear Wink of Stella.

The flower was then positioned, over the embossed and die cut doily, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the greeting, from the Sweetly Scriped Stamp Set, using Bubble Bath ink and trimmed it down to fit across the card. After placing Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the greeting, it is popped up across the card front.

The magnolia bud was stamped inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Neutral Adhesive-backed Sequins to the card front.

Tomorrow I have another Mangolia project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND ANOTHER EASTER CARD

I don’t have a Friday Fun Fold card for you today but I do have a beautiful Easter card to share.

Today I am featuring the Everyday Details Bundle.

I thought the nest with eggs would be delightful for a card this Easter.

The little nest was stamped before I coloured it with Stampin’ Blends – Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon and Pecan Pie.

I used the colour lifter to lighten areas of the eggs shells before painting them with Clear Wink of Stella.

After I finished colouring the nest, I used the largest of the circles from the Everyday Essentials Dies to cut it out.

The greeting was stamped using Lost Lagoon and cut with anothe rof the dies from this same set.

Before attaching them to the front of the card, I took a panel of White Vellum and embossed it using the Basics 3D Embossing Folder.

I attached the embossed vellumto the Lost Lagoon cardbase and then, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, added the die cut elements to the card.

Using Linen Thread, I teid a triple bow and attached it to the nest, using a Mini Glue Dot.

The nest was stamped on the card insert and on the envelope, using Pecan Pie ink.

The final flourish was the addition of some Lost Lagoon embellishments from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack.

The plan next week is to feature the new Magnolia Mood products.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

Today’s project was inspired by a project I made last year at a Paper Angels Team Day. It is a sweet and simple Easter basket.

The basket is made using a 7 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ piece of Lost Lagoon card.

It was scored at 2 1/2″ along both sides. Along the top and bottomsides, the card was cut 2 1/2″ in, leaving the centre panel uncut.

Then I cut six 2 3/8″ x 2 3/8″ Basic White squares. They were then embossed using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

These embossed pieces were attached to the three panels on each side of the base.

I used Tombow Multipurpose Glue to overlap and adhere the top and bottom panels to create these angeled basket sides.

Before securing the central Lost Lagoon panel, I created the handle. I used a 3/4″ length of Lost Lagoon card and a 5/8″ strip of Basic White card.

The white card was also embossed, in two steps. Then the embossed strip was attached to the Lost Lagoon base piece.

I adhered the handle inside the basket and then the remaining Lost Lagoon panels were glued over the top of the handle ends to secure them.

The basked was finished with soem die cut and assembled eggs and a stamped and die cut Easter greeting.

Finally, I added some Lost LAgoon Tinsel Gems 3 Pack embellishments.

Last, but not least, I added some Easter eggs to the backet.
