IN WITH THE NEW …

Wecome to today’s project share. Thank you for popping by to check it out.

This week I am going to be giving you a sneak peek at some of the new products that are in the soon to be released July – Decemebr Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration Brochure.

Today I am featuring the Whimsy & Wonder Suite – Whimsical Trees Stamp Set, Christmas Trees Dies, Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon.

The DSP is amazing – the colours are non-traditional Christmas colours! I’m sure that you’ll love the colours and designs – Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron and Misty Moonlight.

For this card I used one of the DSP designs, cut it down to 5-1/4″x 3-5/8″ and adhered it to a slightly larger piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. Then I positioned it at an angle on the Blushing Bride cardstock, glued it in place and then trimmed the overhanging pieces.

The Christmas definition is from the Well Defined Stamp Set. It was stamped in Mint Macaron. After using a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut around the definition I looped and attached a length of the Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. After attaching some Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of die cut panel it was positioned, as you can see.

I used one of trimmed overhang pieces on the card insert and adhered some of the DSP to the envelope. The final step was to add some clear Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.

The Well Defined Stamp Set is perfect for all the holidays celebrated, in different places, during the second half of each year. As well as the ‘to’ and ‘from’ stamps, there are ‘definitions’ for ‘holiday’, ‘gratitude’, ‘winter’, ‘Halloween’ and ‘Christmas’. The only one that I might not use would be ‘Halloween’, the rest are great.

So, what do you think of the colour combination of the Designer Series Paper? I think that I might need some new decorations this year.

Happy stamping.

ONE MORE STEP

Hello! I am so very pleased that you have popped by to see my latest side step card. I hope you like it.

Yes, this is my third side step card in three days. (I promise there won’t be another one tomorrow!!!)

I have featured the same products as yesterday – Best Chapter Stamp Set and Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. This DSP is only available to order if you have placed an order, or have hosted an event, that is at least $310 AUD in value. With that total, you earn STAMPIN’ REWARDS starting at 10% – so, a $310 order earns you $31, which is the cost of this 48 sheet DSP pack. If you want more information about Stampin’ Rewards contact me.

This was meant to be my first Facebook Live project. However, I was having challenges colouring directly onto the stamp using my Stampin’ Write Markers™. So, I did what many of us are doing during challenging times, I ‘pivoted’.

I chose a different sentiment from the set and used Classic Stampin’ Pads in Granny Apple Green and Misty Moonlight instead of the Markers.

Just like yesterday’s card, I cut and adhered the strips of DSP to the card front. For this card, I needed to mindful of the colour sequence of each line – all three panels were cut 1″ longer than needed; the two 7/8″ strips were trimmed back 1″ from the top and the centre panel was trimmed back 1″ from the bottom. This is the same technique that I used for the Christmas in July card from Wednesday.

The sentiment was cut with a different shape from the Tasteful Labels Dies. I fussy cut the ‘Chapter’ and ‘Happy Housewarming’ elements and popped them up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I wrapped a length of Misty Moonlight Ribbon around the bottom section of the card front and tied it in place. Strips of the DSP were adhered to the card insert and envelope. My final touch was to use the Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend to colour three Opal Rounds. They look awesome on the sentiment panel.

I think it is great to see some of the products used in various projects. These are the majority that I used for today’s card. I have realised that I need to order some more of Misty Moonlight Ribbon – I onlt have about 4″ left and none in my standby drawer.

Do you know someone who is about to move into a new home? Would they like a ‘Happy Housewarming’ card from you?

Happy stamping.

KNEE-LY THERE

Hello and thank you for popping by. You may have noticed that I haven’t posted anything since last Thursday.

Last Thursday, I returned home after having a total knee replacement on my left leg, three days earlier – I had thought that I would be home the day before. Well, I now realise that I should have had a few more project posts pre-scheduled because there was definitely no way that I was up to returning to the craft table to make some new projects to share with you.

It is now Monday evening and I still haven’t managed time to stamp – but there has been lots of physiotherapy, exercising, resting, elevating, ice packing, resting and gentle walking (and pain medicating). I am definitely pleased that the brain fog, post anaesthesia, has finally lifted.

I hope that tomorrow will be Day 1 PNK (post new knee) of creative endeavours.

Thank you for your patience and I hope that will keep popping by to see when I am back in action.

Happy stamping.
