Nature’s Prints

Saying Farewell to 2023-2024 Products

Due to the Easter Bank Holiday, there wasn’t a Card & Cuppa session last week.

So, today I’ve decided to share six projects from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue that use some of the products leaving us at the end of the month.

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

~ Karen Young

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.

Last Week’s Card & Cuppa – Nature’s Prints Meets Boho Blue

~ Karen Young

At last week’s Card & Cuppa we said hello to another of this year’s new In Colors.

Boho Blue, with Petal Pink and Basic White was my colour combination.

I teamed this with the Nature’s Print Stamp Set and some Circle Punches for a very quick and simple project.

To begin, a sentiment from the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set is stamped in the corner.

Next, a stamped off ‘splat’ background is created in Petal Pink.

Then, the leaf is stamped twice with the ends of the stem meeting in the centre. This bit is hidden a bit later.

A length of the coordinating In Color Textured Ribbon is stuck across the centre.

Two Circles are cut from the punches available in the Online Exclusives. The smaller one then has an image stamped tone-on-tone.

These circles are then stuck together and raised above the ribbon using Dimensionals, hiding the end of the leaf stems.

Finally, some Iridescent Rhiestones add a touch of bling.

Sun Prints Suite & Stripes

~ Karen Young

I haven’t shared a stripes project with you for a while, so this Best Wishes card seemed like the perfect opportunity!

It uses items from the Sun Prints Suite Collection, the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set & Natural Prints Dies Bundle and Sun Prints DSP. These are in the Annual Catalogue.

I took my colour combination of Gray Granite, Night of Navy and Basic White from the sheets of DSP I was using.

The DSP strips create a stripe background, using one strip in the middle and two other patterns to mirror on either side.

Next, using a Blending Brush and coordinating Ink, I added some extra colour around the edges.

A length of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon sits across the stripes.

The flower is stamped and cut out using the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and Natural Prints Dies. A Blender Pen then colours the flower.

Leaf shapes are also cut from the Dies.

For the senitment, I used a Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the ‘Best Wishes’ part of one of the stamps. This is then also cut out using the Dies from the Sun Prints Suite Collection.

All of the pieces are then stuck to the project, with the sentiment raised up on Dimensionals above the Ribbon.

Finally, a few Iridescent Rhinestones are added for a touch of sparkle.

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

~ Karen Young

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.
