Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Nature’s Prints Coordination

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project was this any occasion card. It used items that coordinate with the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set.

A colour combination of Calypso Coral, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla gave the project a pastel feel.

The background was made using the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. This was then given some extra tone-on-tone definition using a Small Blending Brush and a Petal Pink Stampin’ Pad.

Next, the various images and the sentiment were stamped and cut out using the coordinating Natural Prints Dies.

Then, a ribbon swoosh using the new Calypso Coral Braided Linen Trim from the September-December Mini Catalogue was added.

The cut out shapes were then layered with the sentiment raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, some Iridescent Pearls were added to the flatter sections of the embossed piece.

Finishing Up Friday – Fern 3D Embossing Folder

This week’s Finishing Up Friday uses an leftover embossed piece from this previous Card & (Your) Cuppa project.

The Embossing Folder is part of the Sun Prints Suite Collection in the Annual Catalogue. Previously, when using this collection, I’ve used the DSP which has blue and grey shades.

For this project, I’ve chosen Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry for a more cheery project.

All of the stamping and die cutting come from the Nature’s Prints Bundle (Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and Natural Prints Dies).

I have used a Blender Pen to pull some colour on the Melon Mambo stamped pieced.

Each piece is is then layered onto the embossed background.

A swoosh of Simply Elegant Trim in silver is then added.

The sentiment from the Stamp Set is cut out using the Lasting Label Punch before sitting on top of the ribbon.

Finally, a few Festive Pearls, also in silver are then dotted across the card.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Sun Prints Suite Collection

After a three week break due to Bank Holidays and my own holiday, Card & (Your) Cuppa returned with this pretty project.

Sun Prints Suite Collection. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

It is inspired by the projects on Page 92 of the new Annual Catalogue.

This card uses items from the Sun Prints Suite Collection (Nature’s Prints Stamp Set, Natural Prints Dies, Sun Prints DSP, Fern 3D Embossing Folder).

The colours in the DSP are the reasons for my colour combination of Gray Granite, Night of Navy and Basic White.

Using the shape of the sentiment piece, cut from the Natural Prints Dies, it is drawn round to mirror the shape onto the piece of DSP.

The DSP is stuck to the embossed piece of Basic White cardstock.

A sentiment from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set in Night of Navy has die cut leaves stuck both under and on top of it.

Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon is stuck behind it, before it is attached using Dimensionals.
