Quick Gift Packaging

Hi everyone, with the Christmas Good Cheer Season happening I nearly forgot someone's birthday.  I had the gift but had not packaged it, so into my stash I went and found the gorgeous Gold and White Striped Treat Bags.

Now how to decorate!  A quick leaf and foliage spray in gold and white, a little tag and some Whisper White Bakers Twine and problem solved.  

It took me less than 15 minutes to put this together.  Pop the pressie in and all good to go.

Quick Gift Packaging

Background Bits

I think Fresh Fig is my new favourite colour (still tossing up between Lemon Lime Twist). 

The background for this card was stamped using the new Hostess stamp set Background Bits and Versamark ink and embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.

Stamping of the flower sprays:

• Flowers stamped with Fresh Fig, 1st and 2nd generation stamping. 
• Leaves were stamped using Always Artichoke
• Filler foliage and flowers were stamped with Always Artichoke and Powder Pink

These were fussy cut and then layered onto the card front.

The sentiment "Birthday" is from the Tabs for Everything stamp set which was stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder.

The measurements to make the card are:

• Card base - A4 cut in half then folded in half
• Copper mat - 13.5cm x 9.3cm
• Whisper White - 13.2cm x 9cm

Pretty Daisies

How pretty is the new Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.  I love the fresh look of the colour scheme of Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party and Whisper White. 

The daisy was made by stamping the daisy from the Daisy Delight stamp set twice using Wisteria Wonder and coloured with the Clear Wink of Stella pen and Wisteria Wonder.  These were then punched out using the Daisy Punch.  The two daisy pieces were then layered together and a Clear Faceted Gem added for the flower centre. The stem was stamped using Old Olive.

The "Happy" was cut out using the Happy Birthday Thinlits and Pool Party card stock.  The word "Happy" was snipped from this piece.  The word "Birthday" is from the Tabs for Everything stamp set, this was stamped with Wisteria Wonder.

The measurements to make the card are

• Card base - A4 cut in half then folded in half
• Pool Party mat - 9.5cm x 13.8cm
• Whisper White mat - 9.2cm x 13.5cm
• Designer Series Paper - 8.9cm x 13.2 cm
• Pool Party strip - 2.5cm x 13.8cm
• Wisteria Wonder strip - 2.8cm x 13.8cm
• Wisteria Wonder centre panel - 6cm x 11cm
• Pool Party centre panel - 5.3cm x 10.3cm
• Whisper White centre panel - 5cm x 10cm

Peekaboo Peach Bakers Twine was added across the strip behind the centre panel to finish.

Paper Craft Crew Challenge

Hi everyone, I am playing along this week with the Metallic Embellishment theme at the Paper Craft Crew Challenge.  I have gone a bit on the grunge side with my card, adding Copper Metallic Thread, Copper Trim, Copper Foil Sheet leaves as my metallic embellishments.

The stamp sets used are Tabs for Everything for the sentiment and Falling Flowers with the matching May Flower Framelits for the floral arrangement.

Addendum to Post

I have had so many enquries on how how I made this card I decided to post how I created it. The measurements are in metric so you may have to convert to imperial. 

• The base card is Crumb Cake (A4 cut in half then folded in half again to make card base) – edges inked with Soft Suede
• The mat is Early Espresso cardstock 9.5cm x 13.8cm  – the edges are distressed.
• Background DSP 9cm x 13.3cm is from the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.  It is the Copper and Crumb Cake sheet of paper.  I distressed the edges and then inked them with Soft Suede.
• The strip across the card is Early Espresso 9.5cm x 2.5cm backed onto a piece of Crumb Cake 9.5cm x 3cm.  I distressed the edges of both pieces and inked the edges of the Crumb Cake piece with Soft Suede.  A piece of Copper Trim was tied around this piece.
• The middle panel is a piece of Crumb Cake 6cm x 11cm – the edges are distressed and inked with Soft Suede
• The mat is Early Espresso 5cm x 10cm – the edges are distressed
• The stamped panel is Very Vanilla 4.7cm x 9.7cm – the edges are distressed and inked with Soft Suede.

Stamping and Creating the panel

• I stamped the leaf spray in Soft Suede ink  twice and also the individual leaf 4 times in Soft Suede on the bottom of the panel.  These images were coloured with the Clear Wink of Stella pen and Soft Suede ink.  Soft Suede ink was then spatter on this piece using an Aqua Painter.
• The flower from the Falling Flowers stamp set was stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla and cut out using the matching die from the May Flowers Framelits.  This was inked with Soft Suede and the petals lightly formed to fold slightly.  The flower image was stamped again with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla. I hand cut the centre of the flower and then inked it with Soft Suede, again forming the petals slightly before gluing to the centre of the original flower.  A Gold Faceted Gem was used as the flower centre.
• The foliage sprig was stamped with Versamark on Early Espresso and embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and then cut out with the matching framelit from the May Flowers Framelits.  The leaves were cut out using the leaf die and Copper Foil Sheet.
• A piece of Copper Trim was teased apart to create the Copper gauze like piece behind the flower.  Some Copper Metallic Thread was also added behind the flower.
• The sentiment is from the Tabs for Everything stamp set and was stamped with Soft Suede on Very Vanilla and punched out using the Classic Label Punch.  The edges were inked with Soft Suede.

You can see from the picture how to arrange the flower arrangement.

For the inside of the card I made another of the foliage sprigs which I adhered to the bottom of a Very Vanilla insert which was inked on the edges with Soft Suede and backed onto Early Espresso before being adhered into place.

CASE from the new catalogue

Hi everyone, on page 143 of the new Annual Catalogue there is a small vintage style gift bag which I just love.  I did a CASE of the design and changed the embellishments slightly and made this card.

I received the Touches of Nature Elements with my box of goodies for the display board stamping and the Copper Trim and the Gold Faceted Gems on the day of the OnStage Local.  I had the stamp set Falling Flowers and the coordinating May Flowers Framelits in my stash.  The base card is Soft Suede and I have stamped onto Very Vanilla, the edges have been inked with Soft Suede.  I left off the doily, ribbon, pearls and corrugated flowers in the sample and added the Copper Trim, Gold Faceted Gems and Touches of Nature Elements.  The sentiment of from the Tabs for Everything stamp set which we received in our OnStage Bag.  Stampin' Up! are so generous with giving us so much new product at OnStage. 

Tip: If you tease the Copper Trim apart you get a piece of copper embellishment that looks like gauze.  I have put this behind the flower on my card.

You will be able to purchase these new products on 1 June 2017. You can purchase the Falling Flowers stamp set and the coordinating May Flowers Framelits dies now.  No need to wait until 1 June 2017 for these great products.
