Love & Happiness Book Fold Card - Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop

Hello

It's time to preview the new January to June Mini Catalogue and it has so many wonderful new products that it was hard to choose just one.

I decided on the Love & Happiness bundle and the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing folder - you can find these on page 11 of the catalogue.

I combined this bundle with the Gold Shimmer Vellum from the July - December Mini as I was thinking this would be suitable for either Valentines Day or an Anniversary card.

Have you tried the Stampin' Up!® Hybrid Embossing Folders yet? They are amazing as you can cut and emboss at the same time. This makes it easy to achieve a layered look.

Look at the pretty design from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid embossing folder.

When purchasing this you also get 9 coordinating dies. I've used 3 of them. One to die cut the heart, one for the flowers and one for the greeting.

I raised the heart on dimensionals and cut a piece of white card stock to place behind the heart to give it strength and opacity. The little flowers were cut from Blushing Bride card stock and then sponged lightly with Blushing Bride ink.

The kit contents are versatile and allow you to create as intended or apply your own take on what is provided. As an added extra, you keep the stamps and any left over die cuts to create further cards etc.

These are the stamps.

Scrap Page Featuring Forever Blossoms By Stampin' Up!

I teach a scrap class once a month and like to focus on a particular Stampin' Up! product that suits the technique we are using.

This month I decided on the techniques of stamping off, masking and sponging.

I printed my photo in sepia tones.

Sometimes the decoration on a page can overwhelm the photo, so I've kept this quite simple. I used some doilies as masks, sponging over them with Smoky Slate ink, then stamping off doily images starting with full strength Smoky Slate.
The blossoms are from the Parisian Blossoms stamp set that forms part of the Parisian Blossom Suite

Set Sail Card in a Box

There is nothing quite like sailing to make you feel relaxed. It brings back lots of happy summer memories from when I was young, so when I saw the Sale Away Suite in the Annual Catalogue, I knew it would be one of my first purchases.

The Sale Away Suite is all inclusive and coordinated so you can create lots of different projects.

Using lots of the elements from the Set Sale Bundle, I created this Card In A Box.

When making a Card In A Box it is important to lie the card flat at regular intervals to check that the "scene" you are creating is pretty at first glance. The card arrives flat and that is the first view the recipient will have until they get the surprise of how it looks when opened. You can experiment to see which "picture" is the most appealing and fold it that way to send.

Flattened to the right hand side.

I plan on doing a little sailing myself over the next couple of weeks while on my vacation to the Greek Islands. It will be with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who have earned this wonderful opportunity. The day you see this post, I will be sailing around Mykonos. How awesome is that?

I hope you gain some inspiration from my Card In A Box using the Sail Away Suite. It can be purchased as an entire suite, as a bundle or each of the elements individually, and the cards and projects can be from very simple to more advanced. So this is a suite to suit everyone.

Until Next Time
Happy Stamping
