Stampin' Up! Petal Promenade

Stampin' Up Petal Promenade and Envelope Dressing

The new 2018/2019 was out for 2 months before I realized the thinlets dies that are part of the Petal Promenade suite of Products (pages106-107) included a die to make envelope liners. Duh, I don't know how I missed that. I love the way a lined envelope looks . It gives a card such a finished,professional look.!

I order the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper(DSP) as during the DSP sale this summer and I've made a lot of cards with it but I couldn't help myself. I had to create one more so I could use the gorgeous paper to line and envelope.

I really love the sentiments in this stamp set.

I used the Tufted Emboss folder to add a little texture and a ribbon for a subtle bit of bling. The 3/8 metallic edged ribbon comes in 3 colors but I choose to purchase the white because it is so versatile. I can use the Stampin' Blends alcohol ink markers or a sponge dauber and ink pad to change it to any color I want to use.  

The beautiful Layers Thinlets Dies that I used to create the envelope liner is so quick and easy to use. I'll probably start lining most of my envelopes. I may even go through my scrap bin and die cut a stack of them from some of my left-over DSP.

Spirited Snowmen for What's New at Stampin' Up! Blog Hop

Spirited Snowman for What's New at Stampin' Up! Blog Hop

Just two days until the  holiday catalog debuts.  There are so many fabulous new stamps, papers, punches and more. There is no way I could show them all to you, so I have teamed up with a group of incredibly talented stampers to showcase lots of  new products.

We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ With Exciting Ideas to share with you. 

Today, we will feature products from the 2018 Holiday Stampin’ Up! catalog that debuts Wednesday, September 5th. 2018.  I know you will be inspired by all  of wonderful projects today.

My projects features 2 great new products, the Spirited Snowmen and the Detailed Baubles Thinlits dies

I love the different snowmen in this set. They are so cute. I choose to use the one that looks like he is jumping for joy. He is very excited because it's snowing! I created a shaker card for him to bouncing all around in the snow.

I used the large ,detailed framelit from the Beautiful Baubles thinlets to create a window in the front of my card. I stamped snowflakes on Whisper White Cardstock for my background. I stamped the snowman in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with the Stampin' Blends alcohol ink markers.

I created the shaker using a window sheet and the foam adhesive strips. I added some Wink of Stella to his body and put sequins in the shaker. 

I wanted the pearls on my sentiment strip to match the Highland Heather cardstock I used for the base so I used a Stampin' Blend Alcohol ink marker to color some pearls.

Project 2: Card Tin 

I used the same stamps and framelits dies to create a belly band for the Red Distress Card Tin that is part of the Festive Farmhouse suite of products. This tin is big enough to hold a stacked of standard  A2 size ( 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inch ) cards. I used a strip of Festive Farmhouse Designers Series Paper for the Belly Band and Mossy Meadow Cardstock for the scalloped circle.

Stampin' Up! Cauldron Bubble

Stampin' Up! Cauldron Bubble For Freshly Made Sketches 352

My first thought when I saw the sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge 352, was that I would use a cauldron from the Cauldron Bubbles stamp set that is being introduced September 5th.   I thought the cauldron would be great for the shape but once I started the card I quickly decided the cauldron by itself didn't look quite right. So I die cut the little witch from the Toil and Trouble Designers Series Paper (DSP) 

 The Toil and trouble suite of products features a stamp set with coordinating framelits dies. The dies coordinate with the stamp set and as an added bonus you can die cut some of the images from the DSP.

I wanted to keep my card clean and simple but I didn't want it to look flat so I used the Seaside Embossing Folder to add a bit of texture to the  background  I choose the  Seaside Embossing Folder because I thought it mimicked steam and it would look like the cauldron was steaming

I stamped the cauldron with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink since I planned to color it with the Blends alcohol Ink markers and I didn't want to smear. I used the shimmery emboss paste to create a bubbly mass of goo in the cauldron

If you would like to see more cards that were created using this sketch check out all the entries at Freshly Made Sketches
