IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT’S TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME NEW STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I have chosen the Heartfelt Hexagons Bundle and Gold Foiled Flowers Cards & Envelopes for my projects.

My first card is perfect for the next wedding you are invited to. Or, you could use the Happy Anniversary stamp, from the upcoming Online Exclusive stamp set Sweetly Scripted, inside the card.

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and then punched out 12 hexagon shapes from the Gold Foiled Flowers Card.

The shapes were positioned on the card front and adhered using Multipurpsoe GLue.

I stamped the hexgon frame and Mr & Mrs using Versamark, Gold Embossing Powder and Heat Tool. Then I punched it out and trimmed it to fit over one of the floral shapes.

A length of gold ribbon, from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo, was wrapped behind the stamped hexagon. The ribbon was secured in place with Stampin’ Seal+.

I added a hexagan on the back of the envelope and inside the card.

Finally, I added some gold sequins from the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Get used to this image because this is the same collection of products I will be using all week – with one exception when I share the FREE Sale-a-bration Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set that you can still earn with a $90 minimum order before the end of the month (before postage and while stocks last).

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

The Poetic Expressions Suite Collection (162826 – $133.75) is an amazing collection of new products.

The Thoughtful Expressions Bundle is made up of a cling stamp set and dies collection.

The stamp set has 4 images and 4 greetings. Each greeting has been designed using two different fonts – gorgeous!

The dies are fabulous. There are 19 dies in total, with 9 of them coordinating with the stamp set images and the remaining 10 include different sizes of two different label shapes.

The Poetic Expressions 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is so diverse and beautiful, as I think I have shown this week.

Finally, the Suite has Champagne Iridescent Dots for a coordinating embellishment.

Today’s final project is a Fun Fold Card.

I recently received a card from a friend and it inspired me to make this card. It is a Book Fold card with a Pop Up insert.

For this card I chose a Lost Lagoon card base, Lost Lagoon DSP and Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the hummingbird.

Then I stamped the floral image on a square of Basic White card and coloured it with Moody Mauve and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends. This stamped white piece was added to a slightly larger square of Lost Lagoon card.

I adhered this panel to the card front and attached the hummingbird using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped on to a piece of Basic White card and trimmed to fit under the hummingbird panel.

Inside the card, I added a 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″square of DSP that folded and scored to create the pop up insert.

I added two 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares of Basic White that were stamped and coloured. These coordinate perfectly with the card front.

I used another piece of DSP to add to the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I will have another challenge project to share with you.

THURSDAY MEANS THAT IT’S TIME FOR A 3D PROJECT

I recently found a bag of Reece Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures Milk Chocolate – I tried one and they are soooo yummy. Fortunately, I stopped at one to ensure I had enough for this matchbox style gift box.

The gift box fits 5 Reece Cups.

I thought that the Wild Wheat cardstock and DSP is quite close to a matte gold look.

The box measures 6 1/4″ x 1 3/8″ x 3/4″ and the outer casing is ever so slightly larger.

I cut the DSP so that it wraps in a continual pattern around the box.

I wrapped a length of Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon around the box and tied a knot. Then I trimmed the ends of the ribbon.

The greeting was stamped in Wild Wheat, on Wild Wheat card and trimmed down. I popped Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the greeting and added it to the top of the box.

Finally, I added some die cut small Wild Wheat flowers and Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels for some extra embellsihment.

I popped a Mini Glue Dot under each of the Reece Cups to secure them in place.

This piece of DSP is really very lovely.

Tomorrow I will share my fifth and final card for the week.

Until then, happy stamping.
