2022-2024 Annual Catalog Feed

Lots of Shimmer and Shine

Welcome!

We are several weeks into the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog and I have to say, it has some pretty fabulous papers!  So I am showing two of my MUST haves from the catalog.  They are DRY BRUSHED METALLIC 12 x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper and the FINE SHIMMER 12 x 12" Paper Pack. 

When I say the catalog does not do the Fine Shimmer paper any justice, I mean it.  Just take a look below especially the second picture. If you look at the picture in the catalog or in my Online Shop, you can not even tell it has shimmer and shine to it.

The Artistically Ink Bundle is still a favorite from the Annual catalog, and the simplicity of the die cut flower over top of the two shiny papers just makes a quick, easy and beautiful card.  

My card base and flower die are Basic Black CS.  There is a layer of Soft Sea Foam CS that is 4-1/8 x 5-3/8.  

Each strip of the Dry Brushed Metallic and Fine Shimmer papers are 1-3/4 x 4"

OH!!!  Wondering what that ribbon is?  Well, I used the Balmy Blue Ribbon and colored it with Soft Succulent Ink.  I added the ink to the ribbon with a Blending Brush. 

I hope you liked this project.

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Color Coach Challenge

BeeBlogHopOpeningIcon

Welcome to our We BEE Stamping Blog Hop!

This month's theme is Color Coach Challenge.  What is a color coach?  Well, it is a color chart that Stampin' Up! provides with different combinations of color we normally would not think of.  Seeing as the 2022-2024 In-Colors are fresh an new, I chose to use the Sweet Sorbet coach and went with the combination of Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue.  Here is what the coach looks like, and we have them for all the colors!  Very cool tool to have and a perk of a demonstrator.

Cutting & Stamping Instructions

  • On  2x4 Night of Navy CS, die cut the background 'sending' word
  • Take one of the Granny Apple Green CS pieces, and die cut the word 'Sending' from the MIDDLE
  • Adhere above to die cuts together
  • On 3x4 white CS, stamp flowers and words then die cut with coordinating dies.  Flower petals are Pool Party, flower centers are Daffodil Delight and the stems are in Granny Apple Green
  • On the 3-3/4 x 11 Basic White CS, after scored, the bigger section will measure 3-3/4 x 5.  This will be your inside so stamp your inside sentiment (make sure stamp in correct direction).  I also added an extra strip of DSP so I cut down to 1/2 x 3-1/2 and adhere to the right side.  You can see it in the above photo. 

Putting it together

  • Adhere pieces of the 4 x 5-1/4 Granny Apple Green CS to each of the Night of Navy CS 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
  • Adhere DSP on top of one of the above to make the card front
  • Take the 3-3/4 x 11 scored white.  The part you stamped your inside sentiment, adhere this on top of the other piece of Granny Apple Green.  Now fold over.  The score should be on your left so valley fold; then mountain fold on the other score line.  
  • Put adhesive on the 2" flap, close all folds, lay card front piece on top and adhere down.
  • Adhere words, flowers and stems to card front.  Make sure to use Stampin' Dimensionals
  • Bling with the Glossy Dots Assortments
