The new catalogue is on its way and if you have placed an order with me over the past year I have arranged for you to receive one very soon. Enjoy!

The projects I am sharing this week are using one of the new product suites that you find in the new catalogue. One of the great benefits of being a demonstrator is that I am able to preorder some of these new products before May 5th. If you would like to be able to do the same then you might like to think about joining Stampin’ Up!© … and you will also enjoy a minimum 20% discount on your orders. For more details contact me.

Today I used the frame die from the Gallery Blooms Dies set to to create the border for the ‘charcoal’ trees image.

After cutting the Basic Black and Basic Gray frames I positioned them carefully inside the Damask Designs Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

The gray frame was adhered to the card front. Then I attached the DSP to the back of the black frame and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to it. This panel was then positioned within the gray frame.

The greeting, from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set, was stamped using Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad onto the same coloured card. I used one of the Unbounded Love Dies to cut this greeting.

The spare large black frame was placed on the card insert.

I stamped the damask image, in gray, across the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Basic Gray Pearls to the card front.

I would normally have a 3D project to share with you tomorrow but I’ve decided to share an extra Fun Fold Card this week.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking,

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 5^th.

While I am still featuring the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection, I wanted to use the stunning Beautiful Gallery 6″x 6″ DSP pack for this technique project.

There is a lovely Basic Beige and Basic Black floral line art design that I thought would be perfect for a focal point card.

I took two of the same 6″x 6″ DSP designs and trimmed them to 5 3/8″x 3 7/8″ panels.

I chose a flower from one of these DSP panels and cut a circle, using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I used the Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to colour the florals in the circle.

Before attaching this coloured circle to the card front I tied a bow and wrapped a length of the new Basic Beige Classic Ribbon around the DSP panel.

After that step, I added the coloured focal circle followed by the stamped and die cut greeting. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to add these elements.

Then I stamped the greeting, using the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set and Petal Pink ink and then used a banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

I added strips of the DSP to the card insert and the envelope.

Finally, I added some pearls from the Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls to embellish the card.

Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
