JANUARY – APRIL MINI CATALOGUE – mmm…Stampin' Time

Today’s card features the soon to be released SIMPLE BIRTHDAY STAMP SET.

I used it to create a pull out card.

I started with a piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock measuring 5 3/4″x 4 1/8″.

Then I added a panel of Bloom Impressions 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. This DSP is FREE during Sale-a-bration (January 7th – February 28th, 2025).

The ‘pull out’ panel was made using a 12″x 2 7/8″ piece of Basic Thick White cardstock, scored at 4″ and 8″.

I adhered a 4 3/4″x 3 1/4″ piece of Melon Mambo card and a 4 5/8″x 3 1/8″ piece of Azure Afternoon card to the front of the pull out panel.

Then I stamped and heat embossed the birthday greeting onto a 4 1/2″x 2 7/8″ piece of the DSP before adhering it to the front of the pull out panel.

It was fun using these stand alone stamp sets this week. When I return from our Christmas celebrations I will have some new bundles and suite collections to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

I am always amazed by the colour combinations each Colour INKsiration Challenge throws at us … and, they are usually a combination that I would not have thought to use.

For this challenge I decided to use one of the upcoming product bundles from the January – April Mini Catalogue … EVERYDAY ARCHES.

One of the benefits of joining Stampin’ Up! is that you have the opportunity to see new catalogies and products before they go live to customers. During a preorded period, you will be able to buy new products and create with them before customers … and, as a ‘demonstrator’, you will enjoy a minimum 20% discount on most products.

Here is the project I created for this challenge.

I die cut the five challenge colours using the five smallest arch shaped dies. Then I layered and adhered them together.

Using the second largest arch die, I cut a Basic White arch and stamped the greeting in Shaded Spruce.

The layered, coloured arches were then added to the white arch using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I created the Shaded Spruce ‘wreath’ by pulling up the threads on one side of the ribbon. When it was very tightly pulled up, I cut the ribbon on the other end and pulled the threds up from that end. Then I tied the threads together very tightly to form the wreath.

Then I adhered the wreath to the card front using Multipurpose Glue.

The greeting was stamped on the card insert and a die cut Shaded Spruce bow was adhered to the back of the envelope.

When I showed this card to my youngest daughter, she asked me to recreate it as a Christmas card … and, here is what I made for her.

I am looking forward to using this bundle to create many more projects.

Until my next project, happy stamping.
