Festive Sunday Inspiration Week 11 - Joy To The World in Gold and White

Hi crafters,

It's time for the next installment in my Festive Sunday Inspiration series.  You can still catch up on the previous posts, take a look back at the first post.  I will be bringing you a post every Sunday until 29 November featuring festive projects to spark your creativity.  Projects will feature Stampin' Up! products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue and the Annual Catalogue, using a variety of techniques.  If you would like to purchase any of the products for yourself, please visit my online shop which is open 24/7. 

Today's card is one of my favourites from this festive series.  I actually made this one way back in the summer and yes, I had the Christmas music blasting then too!

I started with a Thick Whisper White card base and added a panel of Whisper White cardstock embossed with the Winter Snow Embossing Folder.  I cut a square of Gold Foil Sheet using the Stitched Shapes Dies and then added texture with the snowflake debossing dies in the Snow Time Dies.  I cut a Whisper White snowflake and a Vellum snowflake using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and offset on top of the gold foil topper to create dimension.  I used the Joy Dies and cut from several layers of Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Gold Foil Sheet to finish.  The sub sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in white onto vellum.  I popped this up using very small pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals.  

Why not tell me something that brings you joy in the comments.  My craft room definitely gives me so much joy and it's better when I'm in there with a hot chocolate!

Happy crafting, Rachel x

We Fall In...Colours Blog Hop

Hi Crafters,

It's time to hop again with a Blog Hop from the We Fall In... Colours team.  We are an international group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who love to share our passion for creativity through colour.  If you've hopped from Conni's blog, you are on the right track.  There is a full list of participants at the end of this post too.  

This month's colour challenge features Sahara Sand, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bliss.

I started by making a Sahara Sand card base from half a sheet of A4 cardstock.  I created a panel from Whisper White cardstock and cut the tiny butterflies from the Butterfly Beauty dies in Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Sahara Sand cardstock arranging in a waterfall pattern.  I wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the panel to draw attention to the sentiment.  The sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink onto Sahara Sand cardstock and cut out using the Layering Circle Dies .  I added a circle of vellum cardstock behind my sentiment to make it stand out using the same circles dies.  

To keep hopping, head to Melanie's blog for more inspiration featuring this month's colour theme of Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Sahara Sand.  

Happy crafting,

Floral Friend Card with Stampin' Up!

Hi crafters,

I have a floral friend card for you today.  It features the retiring Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP) so if you want to get your hands on any of the current patterned papers, shop before 2 June 2020.  They are all while stocks last.  

I started with a half sheet of Thick Whisper White cardstock to make a side-folding card blank.  I added two panels of the Magnolia Lane DSP which had been left over from another project.  I cut the large poppy from the Poppy Moments dies in Petal Pink and Whisper White cardstock.  I coloured the outline die cut with the dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blend.  I glued all the pieces back together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and ran the die cut though the Subtle Embossing Folder for added texture.  I cut the leaves from Mossy Meadow cardstock and then added a layer of dark Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends to the bottom layer.  The ribbon came from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.  I traced the outline of the friend die onto vellum and cut out with Paper Snips before added the die cut in Cajun Craze on top with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I finished off by adding three Metallic Pearls in gold.  

Happy crafting,

Rachel x
