Sending Positive Thoughts; love this new stamp set!
This Positive Thoughts stamp setseems to be a 'sleeper' to some people but it caught my eye right away! Everyone asked where the stamp set was when they saw my cards.
I knew I could make pretty cards with the images; the leaves, flower and feather are perfect with lots of fine details. But the greetings; they are some I will definitely get a lot of use of.
This soft, botanical card is one I made for an online swap I participated in. I used Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock and of course the pretty Petal Pink. The new champagne rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon was color inspiration.
I also used the new Stitched So Sweetly dies; my top pick in the entire new catalog! See them here.
The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene. This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set.
I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce!
A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog
Release of Close to My Heart products today!
If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products. In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products! This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!!
Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.
It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video.
The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too. So pretty! My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).
It's almost a fun fold; it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal. The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left. (I did it wrong and wasted a piece)
Nests of Winter fun fold card with video tutorial & a free project sheet too!
I shared this pretty fancy fold card on last week's Live video. It features an upcoming suite from the 2024 Holiday Catalog! This catalog goes live on Tuesday, September 3rd. (If you're one of my customers you may have received yours by now!)
*In the video seen hereor below I also share ALL of the new Holiday designer papers!
If you like layers it has tons of them! The very back of the card is a quarter sized piece and then there's a 11" X 4 1/4" folded layer that is attached over it. It's really neat and quite simple as well. I created a project sheet for it too which you can see below.
My colors include Garden Green, White & Moody Mauve. The Designer Paper is from the Wildly Flowering pack in the annual catalog.
That pretty greenery die-cut is from the Winterly Tree Tops bundle in the 2024 Holiday Catalog. I colored it in with Blends markers. The circle & greeting layers are sponged lightly with green ink.
