OOPS, I MISSED MY MONDAY POST BUT IT IS TIME TO CATCH UP!

This week I will be featuring projects using the NESTS OF WINTER SUITE COLLECTION.

This is an amzing suite to create with.

My first project is a decor item – a shadow box featuring elements from this collection.

I bought the shadow box frame from Ikea. It measures 14 1/2″ x 14 1/2″.

The space, inside the white matte layer, measures 9 1/4″ x 9 1/4″.

I started by choosing one of the Coastal Cabana papers from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper.

After calculating the measurements I needed for the Coastal Cabana and Basic White panels, I cut and embossed them. I used the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder to add this wooden texture to the panels.

I added each of these panels to the background paper using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

It was then that I started adding elements to each panel – birds die cut from the Nests of Winter DSP; leaves cut using the Winterly Tree Tops Dies; top and bottom wreaths stamped, coloured and cut using inks and Clear Wink of Stella; a gorgeous Christmas greeting from the Peaceful Season Bundle; a wrapped and tied bow in Pool Party Pompom Ribbon; loads of fussy cut pine cones and floral elements; and lots & lots of Regal Foiled Adhesive-backed Dots.

And, all these elements come together so well in this shadow box decor project.

For the rest of the week I have some great cards to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR A SATURDAY SHARE

This final Season of Elegance project is a slimline Christmas card.

Initially I planned to make a Christmas banner but I wasn’t happy with the result – so – I did a redesign!

I used a Mossy Meadow card base and a panel of paper from the Designer Series Paper.

Each small, rounded square was die cut and then had gold lettering added. The letters were cut using the Mini Alphabet Dies with Gold Foil that had Adhesive Sheet attached to the back.

It was great that all the rounded squares were able to fit across the card front.

The ‘merry’ element of the greeting was stamped and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

I used the same DSP to create a coordinating envelope.

A Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon bow was added to the card front, along with some gold Blooming Pearls.

A 1/2″ strip of the DSP was added to the Basic White card insert.

I’m not sure what Monday will bring yet – but, stay tuned.

Until then, happy stamping.

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.
