Good morning! A special thanks to Amy Koenders and Mary Deatherage for pulling together all the particulars for us to have an Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day Event! Congratulations ladies – job well done! And thank you Rosie Kean, for being so good at posting links to blogs and answering questions. You are an amazing ‘behind the scenes’ woman! I hope each of crafters had fun as well – attending the card making videos AND participating in all the fun questions that were asked. One of the questions was: What’s your best organizing tip? For me, the answer is put everything back when completing a project. It makes life so much easier (for me). But there were lots of good tips shared, so look at those if you haven’t already.
My card for today is the one I made in the video yesterday (watch the video by clicking on the underlined word, video)- with a Moody Mauve card base and an additional embossed panel using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder. This is a favorite as it can be used on both masculine and feminine cards. I cut a piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP then added a Basic White scalloped strip to the edge. That scallop die comes from the Zany Zoo Dies. I adhered that to the right edge of the DSP. I wrapped a Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around about a third of the distance from the top and secured it in back. I put dimensionals on the Fresh As a Daisy DSP and added it to the card front about 3/8″ from the fold. I pulled out the brand new Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set (available now to demonstrators or in January to customers in the Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catalog.) There are border stamps for the hexagon: one is dots, the other has additional lines. Because the DSP is busy, I chose the simpler dot border stamp and Copper Clay ink to stamp on Basic White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the same Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Moody Mauve ink, then punched this out with the coordinating Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. I put dimensionals in the corners of the hexagon to avoid the ribbon and attached it to the card front. I made a bow with the Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon and attached it with a glue dot to the left of the hexagon sentiment. As a final touch, I added three Tinsel Gems in Berry Burst from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.
For the inside, remember that scallop die cut for the card front? I saved the cut off edge and adhered it to the top of the Basic White panel for the inside of the card. I pulled out a Blending Brush and Bubble Bath ink highlight that die cut, give depth to the piece and a bit of femininity. I stamped the sentiment from Layering Leaves stamp set in Bubble Bath ink, and added this panel to the inside of the card. I will be sending this to a special friend just experiencing a family loss.
For the envelope… more of the Fresh As A Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit and this very delicate, wonderful flower from the Heartfelt Hexagons stamp set stamped in Bubble Bath ink on the envelope front.
This is such a versatile bundle, Heartfelt Hexagons. I’m enjoying the opportunity to play :O) If you would like to purchase this set now, it would be a perfect opportunity to join my team as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.
