All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop - Sun Prints Suite

Hello and welcome to our All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop for November 2022. This month we are using the Sun Prints Suite. The projects featured in the bundle are exclusive and the tutorials come complete with photos, video directions and a supply list that includes both Metric and Imperial measurements. 

Here is a sneak peek of the Sun Prints Suite bundle of tutorials.

To enjoy the tutorials you have several options:

• shop with me -  if you order from my online store you will receive that month's bundle for free
• purchase - buy the bundle for £11.50 
• Join my Team - team members will receive the tutorials for free

Here is a closer look at my sneak peek for the tutorial.

To give you even more inspiration each of us has created another project using the Sun Prints Suite products. This suite has been a joy to work with and my head is buzzing with ideas. Here is my project for today.

I layered two die cut wreaths on top of each other - one from vellum and one from Basic White card. They are slightly offset and additional smaller sprays of foliage were tucked in here and there to give a fuller wreath. To add further texture the white die cut has been overstamped using the splatter stamp with Gray Granite and Night of Navy inks.

The background is built up using a layer of Basic White, the full size of the card base, and topped with further layers of Night of Navy, Vellum and finally a square of DSP. The two exposed layers are embossed with the Fern 3-d folder.

To complete the card I added the Hello There sentiment, which is white heat embossed, a generous Baker's Twine bow and some Iridescent Pearls. I always love a classic blue and white combination. There's a lot going on in this card, and I am liking the additional tones too!

Black and White Spruced Up Tree - GDP367

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today, I am participating in the Theme Challenge over at the Global Design Project. The theme this week is all about trees.

Initially, I made this card for one of the challenges in a Training Day that I recently attended with Julie Sutcliffe at the Paper Haven. The challenge was to create a black and white card with a pop of colour. Using the Spruced Up Bundle and the Celebrate Everything papers I made a Christmas card featuring black and white trees, which works perfectly with the #GDP367 challenge this week.

I trimmed some of the tree paper, matted it onto a slightly bigger piece of Basic Black before adding to a Basic White card base. For the pop of colour I chose Polished Pink. I coloured the DSP using the Dark Polished Pink Blend to fill in the stars and also added splatters of sparkle from my Wink of Stella pen.

The dies are magnificent in this set. With one pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine you are rewarded with a solid and an outline image - I cut one each in black and white. (I used adhesive sheet to make it easier to adhere the outlines!) To add some texture to the solid white tree I embossed it using one of the Wintry 3-d folders. Finally, I added a Polished Pink banner, cut with the Stylish Shapes dies, and white heat embossed the Happy Christmas sentiment.

The design is simple, yet striking and it's economical in its use of DSP. Overall it is quite flat, even though it has texture and layers, making it cheaper to post!  It is an easy card to mass produce, and I forsee more of them using different pops of colour!  

I hope that you are inspired by my card today. If you have been inspired, I would love to hear from you so please leave a comment.

Decorated with Happiness for Global Design Project #364

Hello and welcome to my blog. The Global Design Project challenge really caught my eye this week - it's a CASE the designer challenge using this wonderful inspiration from Madeleine Mrotzek.

To CASE a design means you copy and selectively edit the design - you take something from the original and make it your own. I rarely use a colour family altogether on one card and I'm not sure that I have ever made a slimline card! My interest was definitely piqued with Madeline's example, and as I'm in Christmas card mode I chose to create a card with the Decorated with Happiness set to make a slimline card using the Brights collection of colours. Hop over to the Global Design Project #364 post and you'll see lots more ideas inspired by Madeline's card.

I began with a pile of inkpads from the Brights family and began stamping one of the baubles from the set on to matching cardstock. Then, I wondered how the baubles would look if they were white heat embossed. Answer? I like the effect!

The Decorated Pine die set includes dies to cut out the baubles and also a selection of stars. So, as I was cutting the baubles out I cut out some of the stars at the same time. Two versions of the same card were forming in my mind...on to the assembly.

For the first card, I began with a Shimmery White card base together with a smaller layer to display the baubles on. I arranged them, without sticking them, so that I could add some stamped details behind them. I used the stamps with the star and dot patterns and added colour according to the position of the coloured baubles. The sprinkled colour breaks up the whiteness of the background. To finish I added Basic Pearls to the centre of the baubles, some of which are raised on dimensionals, and a sentiment from the Spruced Up set. The decorative layer sits on a slightly bigger layer of Bermuda Bay.

The second version uses the white heat embossed baubles. They sit on a layer of Shimmery White card that is slightly bigger than the card base. This time the added decoration is a sprinkling of the die cut stars. Extra detail is added to the stars as they are die cut creating more dimension. Again the colour graduates according to the colour of the baubles, but I added a few Shimmery White stars too! I added the same sentiment from the Spruced Up set, however, this time it is white heat embossed to tie in with the baubles.

I made sure that my cards would fit our Slimline envelopes. I will be making more slimline cards for sure! Thank you for the inspiration Madeleine - I am so pleased with the way these turned out.
