Forever Fern for Sunday Stamps! #237

Hello, crafty friends. Today's crafty creation features the Forever Fern Bundle.

I have seen a lot of fun creations using wreaths lately, and decided to use the idea with the beautiful Forever Fern bundle.

I created my wreath by stamping one of the smaller leaf images in the Forever Fern stamp set a total of seven times using Balmy Blue ink and then die cut them out and arranging them into a beautiful wreath shape. It was super easy to create a wreath since the leaf image is slightly curved. Next, I stamped the floral bulb image using Misty Moonlight ink and then added one large Highland Heather branch, and 3 small Purple Posy branches to create the accents for my wreath.

I chose my colors based on this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!

The sentiment is from the Ornate Thanks stamp set and was stamped using Misty Moonlight ink. I also colored a piece fo 1/4" Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with a Purple Posy Stampin' Blend to match my card and lastly added a few sequins from the Artistry Blooms Sequins assortment.

My layered DSP panel is from the In Good Taste DSP and was die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

The splatter image is also from the Forever Fern stamp set and it is a wonderful accent to compliment the other images in the stamp set.

In The Pines

I had to make one more crafty creation using the new and upcoming IN THE PINES bundle before I put it away. I had a few of leftover items sitting on my stamp table so I turned them into a purple Christmas card.

To be more specific, I had the thin Highland Heather frame created using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and a 4" x 5 1/4" Purple Posy piece embossed with the Old World Map 3D Embossing Folder which became my picture frame for my Purple Posy Christmas tree.

To create my tree, I embossed the outline image in Silver and then went back and colored it with my Purple Posy Stampin' Blends. Easy and quick. I used the die in the bundle to create my snow drift and added the beautiful WINTER SNOW EMBOSSING FOLDER as my final layer. I love the detail in this embossing folder!

After adhering all my layers, I added a piece of the matching SNOWFLAKE SPLENDOR RIBBON (page 37 of the 2020 Mini Catalog) and a few snowflake sequins from the SNOWFLAKE ADHESIVE-BACKED EMBELLISHMENTS (page 29 of the 2020 Mini Catalog).

My pile of "unused" die cuts is quite large right now, but I love when I finally use something from it for a completely different creation then originally intended as I did here. :)

Now I have two Christmas cards done for 2020! lol

Sneak Peek for Sunday Stamps! #236

Hello, crafty friends. Today, I have a sneak peek at a new bundle from the 2020 Mini Catalog called In the Pines which can be found on page 43.

For my pre-order, I kept gravitating back to this bundle, and I am happy to report that it does not disappoint. I love that there are three different sizes of trees in the stamp set so that you can create a completely different scene for your crafty creations.

This is a Two-Step Photopolymer stamp set that can be used for much more than just Christmas. We have lots of Pine trees like this at our cabin, and at our church - which is called Shepherd of the Pines.

Because it is only July, I couldn't force myself to dive right into my new 2020 Mini Catalog Christmas DSP, so I cheated and used the Flowers for Every Season DSP and paired it with a wood grain piece of DSP from the In Good Taste DSP.

Here's this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps! by Heidi:

To play along, follow these simple Challenge Guidelines:

The challenge will end on Friday Aug.7th @ 6pm EST.

I stamped the outline image of the tree in Early Espresso ink followed by two trees in Just Jade ink, one in Shaded Spruce and lastly one in Mint Macaron. These colors work fabulously together.

Another new item I used to accessorize my card with is the Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim. It feels like butter in your hands. No seriously, it does -not that I touch butter often. lol
