SOME MORE SIDE STEPS

Hello and welcome! I am delighted that you have decided to pop by and see my latest project.

Yesterday I shared a Christmas in July card for the Freshly Brewed Project blog hop that I participate in. It was a simple side step card and it has inspired me to make another one – or, two.

I made today, and tomorrow’s, card during my Facebook Live this week. The featured products were the Best Chapter Stamp Set and Pattern Party 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

This is quite a simple card, made up of the side step structure, that showcases the DSP and a colourful die cut sentiment.

The first step was to cut and adhere the Designer Series Paper to the three panels, as you can see. Then I added the ribbon elements to the bottom section.

Once that was done, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment using five coordinating colours – using Stampin’ Write Markers™. The beauty of the Stamparatus is that I can add more ink to a section if it doesn’t stamp strongly the first time. I cut the sentiment using one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. The word ‘strong’ was first stamped in Crushed Curry and it just didn’t work. I decided to restamp it in Misty Moonlight and trim it down before popping it over the original using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ‘You’ve Got This’ message on the card insert and placed a strip of DSP onto the front of the envelope. To finish the card front I added some Opal Rounds.

I am looking forward to sharing the next card tomorrow – I think it will show you just how versatile this stamp set is going to be.

Who do you know who is “strong, brilliant and beautiful” that you could send this card to?

Happy stamping.

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Hello and welcome to my Wednesday blog hop post. I am so pleased that you have taken the time to pop by.

So, it is Wednesday and it is time for my Freshly Brewed Projects blog hop post. Make sure you scroll all the way to the end of this post to check out what the other Freshly Brewed participants have created for you.

At the moment I have a few current Christmas related products, as I await my preorder from the soon to be released Mini Catalogue. And, there is a whole lot of holiday happiness to be found in there.

So here is the card I created for this this blog hop – I hope you like it.

I knew that I wanted to use the Evergreen Elegance Bundle and I found a design from the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack that would coordinate successfully. Then I decided to create a simple side step card, using Misty Moonlight as the card base. I carefully measured and positioned the pieces of DSP so that the split images aligned (the side pieces are both 1″ shorter from the top and longer at the bottom).

Then I wrapped and ties a length of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker’s Twine from the Flower for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. I used a Mini Glue Dot to secure the bow in place. Then I punched three lengths of trees using the Evergreen Border Punch. One of these had some Misty Moonlight ink daubed onto the tree tops. You can see where I attached the trees. The tops of the trees were given a little Clear Wink of Stella to help them shine. I also added some 2020-2022 In Colour Square Gems (Misty Moonlight) to the card front.

And, I am sure that you know me well enough by now, I never leave a card insert or envelope ‘naked’. I used one of the tree images from the Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set to ‘dress’ these.

The Christmas greeting was stamped and fussy cut before being added to the front of the card. As you can see, my fussy cutting is still a work in prgress but I am getting better.

I am looking forward to using the new Evergreen Border Punch again – there are a few ideas swirly around in my brain at the moment. Let’s see if I have something else to share with you soon. It has been a while since I have used my Sponge Daubers – it is quite easy to forget how helpful our tools can be.

Although Christmas in Australia is typically hot and may be humid, it is a wish for many people to enjoy a white Christmas all rugged up in front of a fire watching snow fall outside.

Happy Christmas in July. Now, pop on over and see what the other Freshly Brewed crew have made to share with you.

Happy stamping.

A GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT THEME CHALLENGE

Hello! Thanks for popping by today. I appreciate the time each of you take to visit my site.

My project is for this week’s Global Design Project Challenge – and, it’s a Theme challenge.

So, my question is – where does the sky end, to find ‘the limit’? I decided to go beyond Earth’s blue sky and reach for the stars, for this challenge.

My first decision was to use some of the Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper because I love the shimmer that it has. And, while it is ‘Night of Navy’ the ombre effect allows it to coordinate with Misty Moonlight. I adhered a full card front panel of the Ombre Speciality Paer to the Basic White cardbase.

My second decision was to use the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set and the so very cute rocket image. I stamped the image many times on a piece of Shimmery White cardstock with Versamark before heat embossing all the rockets with white embossing powder. Then I water-coloured the cardstock using Misty Moonlight. When dry, I cut three panels – 2 each at 1″ and 1 at 3/4″. These panels were then adhered to the card front, equally from the centre.

The greeting, from the Stellar Birthday Stamp Set, was stamped in Misty Moonlight and cut using this great die from the Bloom Dies set. Before attaching it to the front of the card, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon behind it. Several stars, from the Stitched Stars Dies, were cut and popped up onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I also stamped the rocket on the card insert and envelope.

I really love the way the Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon works with the Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper. What do you think?

Who, in your world, is out of this world?

Happy stamping.
