GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Hello to each of you who have popped in to see my latest project. I appreciate you taking the time.

For this card I wanted to use another of the stamps from the CIRCLE CELEBRATION STAMP SET.

CIRCLE CELEBRATION PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
I USED THE STAMP IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER

I hoped that if I stamped this in Versamark and then used HEAT & EMBOSS POWDER, I could achieve an interested gilded effect with the GILDED LEAFING.

I made and cut five of the gilded circles. Two were added to the embossed mat. Then I cut many flowers, using the FLORAL HEARTS DIES, from the remaining circles.

The SCRIPTY 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER was used to add texture to the card mat.

I tried to use the GILDED LEAFING for the sentiment is from the ALWAYS IN MY HEART STAMP SET. However, after several attempts I did not get a result that I was happy with. Instead I used some GOLD STAMPIN’ EMBOSS POWDER.

The banner, from the FLORAL HEART DIES, coordinates perfectly with the sentiment.

This card is very different to what I would normally make. Black and gold!

What do you think of the gilding?

Happy stamping and gilding.

WEDDING BELLS

Hello to those of you who pop by to check out what I’m up to – I’m pleased that you do!

Some of you may have seen that I was a vendor at local weekend market and twilight market in early December. It was a wonderful opportunity to let local residents know about what I offer in terms of classes, events and market card and papercraft products.

After the market events, I made a shortlist of card genres that I needed more of. With this information, I was able to start making cards in these areas. Firstly, I made a bundle of gender neutral/more masculine thank you cards – I had no shortage of floral/feminine cards. Next, I created more cards to congratulate new parents.

Today, I started working on the next category of cards I needed to enhance – WEDDING CARDS. I have made quite a few and will post them over the next few days. This is the first card I made.

The LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE is perfect for this category. For this card, I chose the Sahara Sand sheet from the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

I adhered the DSP layer onto a Sahara Sand card base.

For the ALWAYS base and DAINTY DIAMOND 3D embossed strip, under the FOREVER & sentiment, I used some of the PEARLESCENT SPECIALTY PAPER. I am definitely going to be ordering lots more of the Pearescent Specialty Paper – it is so sumptuous.

‘FOREVER &’, stamped in Sahara Sand on Sahara Sand looks great, but looks even better when it is cut using one of the coordinating dies.

I was so very pleased by how well the BEADED PEARLS looked on the card front.

I stamped ‘congratulations’ onto the card insert and it is from the 2020 – 2021 ANNUAL CATALOGUE stamp set LAST A LIFETIME.

I adhered a strip of DAINTY DIAMOND 3D embossed PEARLESCENT SPECIALTY PAPER onto the envelope front.

While I haven’t been to a wedding recently, I think that this card would be perfect of a guest of my age to attach to a gift.

What do you think? Is it a style of formal wedding card?

Happy stamping.

ALWAYS LOVE A NEW CATALOGUE

The 2021 JANUARY – JUNE MINI CATALOGUE and SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE go live to customers from January 5th and there lots of gorgeous goodies in both!

Today I made a gift box and coordinating greeting card using the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE, focusing on the ALWAYS IN MY HEART BUNDLE.

The gift box was so quick and easy to assemble because one of the new products is a pack of 10 LOVE YOU ALWAYS TREAT BOXES. The boxes measure 4-1/6″x 2-11/16″x 1-1/2″. I used a strip of Rococo Rose paper from the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER to wrap around the box and cut two further pieces to adhere to each end of the box.

There is a great banner die in the FLORAL HEART DIES set. And, of course, there are curved sentiments to for the die to cut out perfectly. The heart was cut using the a stunning and intricate floral heart – this heart is the remaining insert. I embossed it with the ORNATE FLORAL EMBOSSING FOLDER.

The BLUSHING BRIDE 3/8″ METALLIC RIBBON coordinated with Rococo Rose perfectly.

The PEARL BASIC JEWELS were coloured using the dark Rococo Rose Stampin’ Blend.

The coordinating card uses the outer floral heart die from the gift box. I cut a second one using the same DSP as I used to wrap around the box. The heart insert is popped up with a double layer of dimensionals. THe outer DSP floral heart is cut in half and used on the card insert and envelope front.

The card front uses another piece of DSP from the LOVE YOU ALWAYS SPECIALTY DSP, a silver foiled Sahara Sand leaf design.

I am very pleased with the way this project pair turned out.

What do you think?

Because most of these products are new, I won’t be able to share images of them. I’ll come back in January and add them then.

The LOVE YOU ALWAYS SUITE had two stamp set and coordinating dies bundles, foil sheets, specialty DSP, a black and white DSP, treat boxes, ribbon, heart charms and matte black dots. This suite is $281.25 (before postage). If you order this, during January to February, you will earn 2-3 FREE products from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

If you live in Australia and do not have a copy of the new MINI CATALOGUE and SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE, contact me to find out how to receive your copies.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
