HOW TO USE A PUNCH TO CREATE A BACKGROUND FOR A CARD

This technique is so quick and easy. You can use just about any punch that you have in your collection.

For this card, I am still featuring the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE with any $100 AUD product order.

I have used the same colours, as yesterday, but added Azure Afternoon for a second cool colour.

I used the To The Point Label Punch again and this time, used the Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set.

The Pumpkin Pie card base was my starting point.

I took the Basic White layer and lightly pencilled it into quarters. This then became my reference for positioning the punched shapes.

The Pumpkin Pie punched shape was the first to be adhered in place. From here I played around with placements to vary the colours and create some even spacing between them.

Then I spent some time fussy cutting the fruit images that I used on the card.

I added two fruit images to each of the five punched shapes.

The ‘sweet’ sentiment was perfect for this card. After stamping it in Pumpkin Pie ink I punched it and then trimmed it in half.

I added a strip of the Pumpkin Pie DSP to the card insert and larger piece to the back of the envelope.

Finally I coloured some of the clear sequins, using the dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Pen, before attaching them to the card front.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

FRESHLY BREWED AMAZING/CELEBRATE YOU PROJECTS

Wednesday, January 17

This afternoon, I am joining the Latte Girls’ Blog Hop for the first time … thank you for joining in as well. Today’s Freshly Brewed Projects feature two of the amazing Sale-a-bration products that you could also add to your creativity collection.

Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop Banner

The Amazing You Stamp Set and coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits Dies will allow you to create a wide variety of cards, tags and so many other paper-craft projects.

  Celebrate You Thinlit Dies

I decided my card would say “Let’s Celebrate You” and realising that we had recently celebrated New Year’s Eve, all I could ‘see’ were dazzling fireworks!

I stamped each burst of colour multiple times, rotating the stamp each time, layering the colours – Daffodil Delight, Emerald Envy, Night of Navy and Real Red. Generous strokes from the Wink of Stellar Glitter Brush added the glimmer that I wanted.

The technique used is what I call a reverse eclipse … ‘celebrate’ is adhered to the Night of Navy mat and the remainder of the stamped card front has dimensionals to lift it up. For a little added layering, the two semi-circular ‘fireworks’ are also raised. After the Thinlit was used, I then stamped the ‘Let’s’ in Night of Navy and heat embossed the ‘You’ using silver embossing powder.

The finishing touch was adding some of the new Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes.

Both the Amazing You Stamp Set and the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies are FREE … during Sale-a-bration, while stocks last. You can earn these products each time you order $90 of goodies from any current catalogue [before shipping and handling].

Each $90 spent earns you one Sale-a-bration item, accompanied by the Pool Party icon, in the catalogue. To earn products with a Calypso Coral icon you need to spend $180.

You can place an order any time you like … just visit my online shop … and if you would like suggestions or assistance, contact me … I look forward to helping you!
