cards – Page 34 – A Stamping Journey

This card is a great way of showing both sides of the lovely Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper. It would work well with any paper. Do you find it hard to choose which side to use sometimes??

I have also used the Go To Greetings Stamp Set for the sentiment. They really are my “go-to” sentiment set at the moment. This is punched out with the Double Oval Punch. I added some diecut leaves from the Splendid Stems Dies.

Now for the measurements to make your own. You can show off both sides of paper or it’s a great way of using up scrap pieces.

STRIPS WITH DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Card base 21cm x 14.8cm Scored at 10.5cm

8 ½” x 5 ½” Scored at 4 ¼”

Fresh Freesia card mat 9.9cm x 14.2cm 4” x 5 ¼”

White card 9.5cm x 13.8cm 3 ¾” x 4 7/8”

DSP pieces @2 4.4cm x 13.2cm Cut at 5cm

1 5/8” x 4 ½” Cut at 2”

Lay out the pieces of Designer Series Paper (DSP) on to the front of the white card. With a short piece then a long piece next to it. Then below these, a long piece with short piece next to it. It doesn’t matter which order though.

Flip the 2 small DSP pieces over to show the other side. Adhere these to the white card.

Then assemble the card on to the card mat and on to the card base. Add your sentiment or embellishments as you like.

Hope you get to make one yourself.

SUNDAY SUITES – RUSTIC HARVEST SUITE!

August 14, 2022August 13, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Today’s Suite for Sunday Suites let’s check out the Rustic Harvest Suite.

Now we don’t have Thanksgiving or use pumpkins like this in Australia. And Autumn is behind us and nearly Spring. YAY! BUT, there are some little gems in this suite that you really want to see wherever you are. So let’s take a look.

This is the full Rustic Harvest Suite Collection.

This Suite includes:

Hello Harvest Bundle (Stamp Set and Rustic Pumpkin Dies)
Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper (12 12″x12″ pack)
12 sheets of 12″x12″ Black Cardstock
Leaf Label and Amber Gem Combo Pack
Embossing Additions Tool Kit

A Closer look at the Hello Harvest Bundle. You have the little vine dies features that add squiggles to any projects. And also swirly shapes in the stamp set. They make great additions. The flower and leaf images are gorgeous to create on your projects.

The Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper isn’t all pumpkins. There are lovely flower images and pattern prints. Colours in this pack are Basic Black, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow.

The Embossing Additions Took Kit ($47AUD) includes some great tools for your heat embossing. This includes the Embossing Buddy, Powder Pal Tray, Crafting Tweezers and Crafting Brush.

The Leaf Labels and Amber Gem Combo Pack includes – 25 kraft leaves: 6.4 x 5.7 cm (2-1/2″ x 2-1/4″) and 50 Amber coloured gems, 25 each of 2 sizes: 4 mm, 5 mm.

Let’s check out some ways of using all these lovely products.

(Projects created by Stampin’ Up! artists).

By stamping the flowers twice and layering they create quite a gorgeous display on this card. The extra addition on the card below is the chalkboard effect on the black card. It looks cool.

A way you can use the lovely leaf tags. They are a sweet addition to a gift or other project.

Such pretty paper you don’t need to do too much with it. And stamp the sentiment on some of the paper for an added touch.

Also check the side of the flower paper. It uses the Woven Ribbon. Cut the edge off the ribbon and pull the threads to get a fringed effect. It’s cool! And also it adds some Amber Gems.

WEDNESDAY’S WOW #139 – 3 WAYS TO COLOUR THE FOILS PAPER!

August 3, 2022August 3, 2022 Jenny Hayward

Wednesday’s WOW! #139 – Add colour to the Silver and Gold Foils.

You might have seen the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper available for Sale-A-Bration? Of course you can leave it as it is but why not have some fun with it and colour it. There are a number of different ways you can do that.

The Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper have embossed designs on them. There are dots and stripes in Silver and in Gold. The dots or stripes will resist the ink when you add colour so you have nice shiny additions to the colour. Once you add the colour just wipe off lightly with a tissue to remove any excess ink on the foil parts.

Let me show you 3 Ways to add colour to this paper.

1. Use the Blending Brushes to add colour. Use one colour or a number of colours and brush over a piece of the paper. (bottom left)

2. Use markers to add additional coloured stripes on the striped print. Using 2 colours will add an extra pizzazz to your cards. (right).

Of course you can leave it plain as a lovely background and add extra stamped images or elements on the card. (top left)

3. Stamp directly on to the Foils with regular Classic Ink Pads. You will have the “embossed” lines or dots run through it but it adds a cool effect. (below)

Want some more ideas with colouring Foils Paper?

A few years back there was some other range of Foils Paper. I shared a few projects using them way back then. Check out the posts -> HERE and -> HERE. Or you can do a search for Springtime Foils Paper on my blog.

Below is the Silver and Gold Foils Designer Series Paper. It is a pack of 24 sheets in 6″x6″ size. 12 each in 2 patterns (stripes and dots) and in 2 colours (silver and Gold).

And bonus, it is a free choice for Sale-A-Bration with your orders over $90 AUD. (Only while supplies last).
