SHOW & TELL TIME TODAY

Normally I would be posting some Step It Up projects today but I still have two more cards to share during this weekend’s Show & Tell.

AS you can see, there are no waves or pelicans on this card.

I have used a Calypso Coral cardbase to feature the panel of White Vellum that was embossed using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I love the way the folder creates a whiter, almost wax-like, look to the embossed edges.

Then I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to cut several hexagons from the Waves of the Ocean 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. These were then glued into position, on a strip Petal Pink cardstock.

The sentiment banner was stamped and cut using the die from the Waves Dies. I took a length of Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and threaded it through the banner. A length of white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, was used to hold the ribbon tightly in place.

I added a strip of the DSP to both the card insert and envelope.

The second card today uses a piece of the New Horizons 6″x 6″ DSP for the background. This DSP was placed on a Night of Navy cardbase.

I coloured the pelican using Gray Granite and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Markers™ directly on the stamp. Then I cut this shape using the Waves Dies. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop the pelican and pylons up on the card front.

The birthday greeting was stamped and cut. Several lengths of Linen Thread were cut before being tied in a knot halfway along the length. After I passed the thread through the other end of the banner, I tied a double knot and trimmed the ends. This gives the greeting a nice chunky finish.

The birthday greeting was attached to the card front with dimensionals.

I stamped the pelican on the envelope and inside the card.

A few of the Pebbles Enamel Shapes were placed at the base of the pylons.

Tomorrow is Monday and that is my day for memory keeping.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S THURSDAY & TIME FOR ANOTHER 3D PROJECT

I may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe more often) how much I enjoy creating 3D projects.

Some are insired by others and some I create myself. I came across this gift bag on the internet and created my own template to make it.

I will be making it during my Facebook Live today – at the same time this post goes live. There will be a Video Tutorial on my Youtube Channel soon.

The New Horizons Suite Collection is used for this project.

The bag is 5″ across the base and 3-3/4″ at the opening. I used the Layering Circles Dies to help create the shape for the bag base.

I used two of this design from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper for the front and back panels of the bag.

Then I used two of the circle dies to cut the Evening Evergreen handles.

I cut lengths of the Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon to pass through the bag handle and tie a double bow.

When I have uploaded a video to Youtube, I will come back and add a link here.

Tomorrow is Fun Fold Friday and I have a Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold Card for you.

Until then, happy stamping.

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY & MY GLOBAL DESIGN PROJECT CREATION

This week’s Global Design Project theme challenge is Dots & Circles and the team has made lots of projects that feature circles. Make sure you click on the diagram below to go to the site to see what they have created.

As I have mentioned over the last few Wednesday’s, any projects I share on Wednesdays will continue to use the products that I feature during each week. This week it is the New Horizons Suite Collection.

I chose two designs from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper to coordinate with the Blackberry Bliss card base.

For the 5-5/8″x 4″ DSP layer, I cut the circles using the Picture This Dies. I also used this die to cut circles from the lighter piece of DSP and a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.

I used Versamark and white embossing powder to stamp and heat emboss the images on the DSP panel and circles. Then Iadhered the DSP panel to the card base and the circles were added to the spaces using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A length of white twine, from the Fan Baker’s Twine, was separated into single strands. Then I tied it into a multiple bow and secured it in place using a Mini Glue Dot.

I used just a few products for this project yet it looks more complex.

It is 3D Thursday tomorrow and I have no idea what I am going to create for you yet. So it’s off to do some thinking and planning.

Until then, happy stamping.
