RAINBOW BLOOMS

The new SMALL BLOOM PUNCH was featured in the first release Sale-a-bration pamphlet as a Level 2 free product.

The very good news is that it will be available, after Sale-a-bration, when the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue is launched, later in the year.

This project is a decor piece and uses 43 of the 50 Stampin’ Up! ® colours.

I want to send a huge thanks to Julie DiMatteo (the Paper Pixie) whose rainbow list I used to sequence the colours.

Each flower is made up of three punched and scrunched bloom shapes adhered with multipurpose glue.

I started with the Cherry Cobbler flower in the centre, on a 9″x 9″ piece of Basic Black card stock, and worked my way out. To help me maintain the circular shapes, I used the smallest and largest LAYERING CIRCLES DIES as a guide. For the outer circle, I used some baking paper to cut a circle guide to the size I needed (a radius of 2.5″).

I couldn’t quite fit the last two colours – Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss – into the circle, so decided to let them just fall out from the others.

The frame I used is a RIBBA shadow box from Ikea … I’m sure lots of you already know about them for decor projects.

This frame is now sitting on my daughter’s work desk.

Thanks for dropping by … happy punching.

SALE-A-BRATION COUNTDOWN

It’s only 5 days until Sale-a-bration ends for 2020, so over the next few days I will be sharing some projects featuring many of the free products.

These cards feature the LOVELY LILY PAD products from the first release Sale-a-bration brochure.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the flower image in a circle.

The LOVELY LILY PAD STAMP SET doesn’t include a sentiment, so I used the HONEY BEE STAMP SET sentiments.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make these two cards.

SENDING HEALING HUGS

My brother-in-law and his wife returned home, early from their overseas holiday, last week and are half way through their mandatory 14 day isolation.

We were able to help out by leaving food for them the afternoon before they arrived home and pick up some groceries a few days later.

That made me think – what other things could be left at someone’s front door, if they need support – to send healing hugs, instead of physical ones.

I thought chocolate, tissues and throat lozenges could do the trick – popped into a lovely gift bag.

This is a quick and easy gift bag to make.

The LABEL ME FANCY PUNCH has a handy slot section in the punch which I used to create the space for the FLAX RIBBON to pass through.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
