Have you checked out the new Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up!? One of my favorites is the “Hello, Irresistible” collection – it has stamps and dies along with coordinating Designer Series Paper and Loose Frosted Dots. <swoon> I have teamed up with two amazing demonstrators, Stampin’ With Leah and Life Is Good, Stamp On to host a Stamp Camp on April 1 using this beautiful collection – make sure you are registered by March 11! To show even more about WHY you need this collection, I decided to use it for this week’s Facebook Live. I created three cards that I think you’re going to love!
First, I designed this soft, sweet card. I think the Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink combo is gorgeous, and the delicate leaf dies and the “beaded curtain” die add so much texture. As usual, the splatter stamp is one of my favorites from the set – I used it here to make the background less flat without distracting from the beautiful flowers and sentiment. I love how easy it is to build a bouquet with the stamped images and die cuts! The toughest part of this card is getting your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine to cooperate on camera with the beaded curtain die – since I didn’t want to cut it out entirely (as it was designed), I had to be very careful with placing the die and cardstock on the cutting plates. See the video for details.
Second, I created this beautiful project. Based on a layout I CASEd from Ange McKay, the North Shore Stamper, I used the Soft Sea Foam leaf pattern of Designer Series Paper for the background, added a splash of color with the Flirty Flamingo mat, and layered on the Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight floating flowers pattern. A banner with a sweet sentiment, a bright Flirty Flamingo flower, and five Frosted Dots create a lovely but relatively simple project.
Finally, I just had to share this awesome fun fold. I CASEd it from a project my upline, Erica Cerwin over at Pink Buckaroo Designs, did with us for a training in January. While it has a lot of pieces and can stand on its own, it folds down to fit into a regular envelope. So, with a little extra postage, you can totally mail this knock-out card to someone special! For the sample in the photographs, I used the Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper. Generally speaking, I prefer brighter colors for my projects. However, the color combo for the Hello, Irresistible DSP is gorgeous, so I had to make this card again using the color palette from the new DSP. Check out the video for the final result!
I hope you love the projects I shared this week! I would love it if you registered for my Stamp Camp – you can get all the details and register here. And let me know if you have any questions or fun ideas for using the Hello, Irresistible collection in your own crafting!
