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

This week I am going to feature a new Sale-a-bration product each day. These are the ones that don’t have a specific matching bundle in the new January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue.

Today I have two projects to share with you, using the Watercolor Melon Stamp Set.

I chose Poppy Parade for my main watermelon colour and Garden Green for the watermelon vine and leaves.

The watermelon wedges were stamped and fussy cut.

I stamped the watermelon vine and leaves across a Basic White panel. Then I embossed it using the Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder.

The stamped and embossed panel was then attached to the Poppy Parade card base.

After adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Poppy Parade and cut the letters, for the card greeting, using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I stamped the watermelon on the card insert and the envelope.

After finding a watermelon lip balm, I decided to make a 3D project to pop the lip balm in.

The gift box was made using Garden Green cardstock.

I stamped two watermelon images, using a masking technique, to allow me to overlap them. After stamping them, I used Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to fill in the watermelon with a lighter green.

I attached a fussy cut watermelon wedge and cut some more letters for the gift box ‘title’.

The Watercolor Melon Stamp Set is one of the FREE stamp sets that can be selected with a minimum $90AUD (before shipping) order.

Tomorrow I will have another Sale-a-bration product to share with you.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

The Trusty Tools Bundle has been so much fun to play with this week.

It’s always great to have a masculine stamp set and dies to have on hand.

The 16 images and greetings are photopolymer making it so easy to accurately stamp images where you want them.

There are 20 dies in the Trusty Tools Dies set.

I have made a version of a Z fold card today.

I used a Poppy Parade card base to add panels of this screwdriver paper.

Then I used my new brayer to add colour to a 9″ x 3″ strip of Basic White card. I used Smoky Slate and Basic Gray to colour this piece.

I scored the Basic White piece at 3″ and 6″. Then I adhered it to the folded card base, as shown.

I attached adhesive sheet to some Lost Lagoon cardstock and used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut the letters needed for the ‘man cave’ card title.

Once again, I picked through the die and fussy cut tools to choose a range of them to attach to the card.

Tomorrow I hope to have a challenge project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

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

I made a gift box that holds three small Crunchie chocolates. The wrapper, that chocolate comes in, matches Crushed Curry so well.

The box was made using Basic Black cardstock and measures 4″ x 2 1/4″ x 1″.

I die cut two peg boards for the front and back of the box.

I cut a 7/8″ strip from the measuring tape paper and adhered it to the side panels and lid.

After my earlier fussy cutting adventure, I had lots of tools to choose from. So I chose some of them and added them to the box.

This was such a fun project to make. Now to find someone who likes Crunchie bars.

Tomorrow’s Fun Fold Friday card also features a colouring technique.

Until then, happy stamping.
