Category: JANUARY – APRIL 2025 MINI CATALOGUE

Most Thursdays I try to share a 3D project with you.

Today I have a gift box that I made to hold all of this week’s card projects.

These are most of the new products, from the Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection, that I used to make the box.

I always start my gift boxes by taking the measurements of the item or items that I want to pop inside.

This box is designed to hold four cards and coordinating envelopes.

The gift box was made using Lemon Lime Twist card stock.

Then I added a panel of paper, from the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper pack, to the top and sides of the box lid. I always try to cut the DSP carefully to ensure the design of the paper continues ‘seamlessly’ over the lid.

Then I cut two panels of card – one in Basic White and the other in Summer Splash.

I embossed the Basic White and Summer Splash panels, using the Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder, and layered them before adding them to the top of the box. These panels were positioned at a slight angle.

The greeting was stamped and die cut using on eof the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies pack.

I also cut a second banner, in Summer Splash, and positioned it under the stamped banner with dimensionals.

The lobster was stamped and die cut before adding it to the box lid as well.

Finally, I added some of the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots.

When you take the lid off you get a peek at tomorrow’s card design.

Tomorrow you will get to see more details about this card.

Until then, happy stamping.

So, you know that the new January – April 2025 Mini Catalogue is now live and that Sale-a-bration is also live until the end of February (while stocks last).

Here’s another new product range that I’m sure many of you will be very happy to see!

Take a look at our new Scrapbooking Workshop Kits now available from the January 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure. 

Just click on the catalogue image below to see all the wonderful new scrapbooking products.

Keep checking in because I will be adding more scrapbooking posts and projects to my posts and 2025 classes.

And, here is today’s project.

This card uses the same range of new products in a different way – just to show you how versatile this suite collection is and how well it coordinated with other Stampin’ Up! products.

The Calypso Coral card base has a panel of the striped Calypso Coral DSP paper adhered to the front.

I used the water bubble images again and stamped them again several times around the DSP.

Before adhering the die cut Granny Apple Green and Basic White coral shapes, I cut the two circles. The circle dies are from the Stylish Shapes Dies set,

The Basic White circle was embossed with the new Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder.

The two circles were adhered together. I used them to guide how I positioned the coral shapes and the fussy cut fish. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the circles and positioned it centrally.

The die cut lobster, from the DSP, was then added to the card front.

The greeting was partially stamped and cut using one of the banner dies from the same set as the circles. It was then trimmed with a straight edge on the left-hand side. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop it up.

The same striped DSP was added to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, some of the Sunny Day Iridescent Dots were added to the card.

Tomorrow I have a gift bo to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

Today I have a peek-a-boo card to share with you.

These are several of the products, from the Friends of the Ocean Suite Colelction, that I used.

Here is the card –

TIP: Adhere the panel of Designer Series Paper to the card base before cutting out the peek-a-boo circle.

To cut the Lemon Lime Twist frame for the hole, position the two circle dies over the card and use some Post-it strips to hold them in place, with even spacing.

The greeting was stamped and die cut using the smaller of the two dies used to cut the frame.

TIP: To ensure this stamped circle is glued in the perfect location, close the card and pop inside the peek-a-boo circle.

The front of the card was decorated with a lobster that was cut from one of papers from the DSP pack and two of the coral shaped dies.

The white coral shape was coloured, using the same technique as yesterday, with a blending brush and Pumpkin Pie ink.

These die cut elements were then adhered to the card front.

The same DSP design that was used on the card front was adhered to the back envelope flap.

Finally, i added some of the coordinating Sunny Day Iridescent Dots to the card front.

Tomorrow I have another card using the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

UNtil then, happy stamping.
