Category: SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER 2023 MINI CATALOGUE

I recently posted that I created a number of projects for a Stampin’ Up! 35 for 35 event. These projects featured the Merry, Bold & Bright Suite Collection.

It was so much fun creating such a wide range of projects – cards and 3D items. Let me start sharing some of them with you.

This was my display board and …

other projects!

The small ‘Santa was here’ gift bags were inspired by Sam Hammond Donald (pootles) and the 4″ x 4″ Holly Jolly Fun Trifold Square Card was inspired by Mary Knabe (Stampin’ Peace).

Today, I will share a 3D project and a card.

I wanted to make an explosion box to hold a gift card. The colours, in this suite are so bright and amazing!

The Simply Scored Scoring Tool was perfect to create the three rosettes that I adhered to the top of the explosion box.

The ‘mechanism’ that holds the gift card pocket was very easy to make. Stay tuned for a video in the future showing you how to make this.

This side has ‘Santa was here’.

This side has a ‘To/From’ panel.

I die cut each of the Christmas light bulbs and then embossed them using the Crosshatch 3D Basics Embossing Folder. The white feature on each of the bulbs was accentuated by painting some Whisper White Craft ink.

A length of silver Simply Elegant Trim was threaded through the bulbs. I attached the bulbs onto the gift card pouch with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then I pulled the silver trim tought and ties a bow.

A label die from the Autumn Leaves Dies was used to cut both of the featured sentiments inside the explosion box.

Now, let me share one of the cards with you.

As you can see, I used the Crosshatch Embossing Folder again for this project. I also used the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12″x 12″ Foil Sheets to die cut the Christmas tree bulbs.

There are several layers in this card – Misty Moonlight card base, Crushed Curry layer. DSP layer, Embossed Crushed Curry layer and then the die cut elements attached to the final layer.

I stamped the greeting and then cut each seperately before adding Stampin’ Dimensionals and popping them up off the front of the card.

The coordinating Iridescent Adhesive Backed Discs add just the right amount of bling.

Tomorrow I will have another 3D project and card to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
