A little bit of Bling - with Something Old and Something New - for GDP083

It's such an exciting time of the Stampin' Up! year with lots of new things coming in the New catalogue. One of the great perks of attending Onstage is the opportunity to buy new products before they are released. There are loads of gorgeous new things coming, and I have featured 2 of those on my card today.

Something Old:
a very old Wedding stamp (the Mr and Mrs is retired but still gorgeous) and I use it a lot for cards at the markets.
Something New:
There are a number of new ribbons coming and they are all stunning. This card uses the new Mini 
Chevron ribbon in Old Olive- it is beautiful and soft and also comes in Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry.
The other stunning and very sparkly new product is the Glitter Enamel Dots. These come in graduated sizes AND graduated colours. Each pack contains 40 glitter dots in each of 4 colours- Old Olive, BerryBurst, Crushed Curry and Dapper Denim from a deep shade of the colour up to a very pale shade. You are going to love them!
Something Retiring:
The Falling in Love Embellishments are so pretty and delicate and certainly add some bling to this card.
Something Blue:
The clear skies of a May day for a Beautiful wedding.

I have heat embossed the Mr and Mrs in silver, adhered some burlap ribbon and the olive Mini Chevron ribbon in place. Then 'blinged it up' with some silver metallic thread, the Falling in Love embellishment and the glitter dots. The Kraft card looks nice against some very vanilla card.



Also new is the Color Theory Designer Series Paper stack which is a great 6x6 stack using the same 4 colours in the dots and a range of ombre papers which have a paint sparkle look on the reverse. They are gorgeous. I have used one of the graduated pieces to decorate the envelope flap and of course run it through the embossing folder to give it the formal treatment. I love this simple addition.

I am entering this card in the Global Design Project this week- I have finally had an opportunity to participate again this week.


I have quite a few more projects made using new products which I will share in the next few days.
 So be sure and subscribe to my blog by filling in the Follow me by Email box - right below the three  RAINBOW SWIRL BOXES on the right side panel of this page.  That way as soon as I post a new project you will get an email with the pictures of my new projects.  There's some more ombre cards and some more wedding cards coming in some new colours.

Thanks for looking and remember,

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

Funky Folds Blog Hop= a Bay window card using Country Flowers

Well it's been a very long time since I participated in a blog hop - and it feels good to be participating in a FUNKY FOLDS hop. You may have come from Jan McQueen's creation, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around. I do love Fancy Fold cards and of course with a new catalogue and new products it is fun to be creating again. I have a big weekend retreat coming up in a few weeks and we are using the Country Flowers Stamp set so I am creating a swag of samples. Since time is such a precious commodity for all of us I am using some old favourite folds with new products - a whole new lease on life. For this week's hop I am revisiting the Bay Window Card. The front tri-panel piece bends forward and tucks in behind the little anchor which is fixed to the inside. Your card will stand up unaided. This is it with the edge tucked under the anchor. You can find the measurements and instructions and several previous samples on these pages. Today's card featu

CTC#116 Inspired by Pages 20-31

Welcome back of another week of CTC. This week we are CASEing quite a big section of the catalogue-pages 20-31, which includes the Oh So Succulent suite. I love the succulent set but need a lot more time to play with it. (I'm sure you can all relate to that!) I also love little square notecards like the one on page 31, so I had a little play and this is what I came up with. This week I've done the step it up system again. This is a lot of fun and a process which can help you analyse your own style and how to adapt that for classes or workshops to appeal to a wider range of styles. This week I am stepping it up from simple stamping directly onto the notecard, then building on that with another colour, added layers and embellishments. Although the twine doesn't carry through from the base card it needed a little bit of black to tie them all together.
