Hello! Hope you are having a fabulous week so far! I'm been M.I.A. for a while but I'm turning over a new leaf and back with a fun blog hop today featuring the card sketches in Stampin' Up!'s Annual Catalog! If you are starting the hop at my blog, please make sure to continue on for so much fabulous inspiration! I love using sketches to jumpstart my creativity and hopefully you do as well! Below is a clip of 8 of the card sketches featured. I chose to use the 3rd sketch in the top row for my card today!
The Suite of Products used is from Stampin' Up!'s online exclusives and is called the Season of Green and Gold! The suite contains two bundles, The Golden Greenery Bundle and Greetings of the Season Bundle as well a DSP and Specialty DSP Vellum that coordinates!
I made a top folding card and used the Birchwood Embossing Folder to emboss a layer over my cardbase. The Birchwood EF will be in the upcoming September 2024 mini-catalog and was at the top of my preorder list!
I used the Specialty DSP Graceful Greenery Vellum for my strips. I cut a piece of the vellum 3" wide x 5" tall and then cut the 3" wide piece into 3 x 1" strips. I added my adhesive under the greenery print on the vellum to assure it would not show through. I ran some linen thread across the front bottom of the card three times and made a bow towards the left side. The sentiment from the Greetings of the Season Stamp set was stamped in Garden Green onto Basic White Cardstock and cut with one of the smaller circle dies from the Deckled Circle Dies and popped up over the linen thread with Dimenstonals. I then added some pine greenery cut with the Golden Greenery Dies. Using one of the dies I also cut one of the Gold Bells out of the Season of Green and Gold DSP. I added two of the greenery die cuts behind circle and popped one up with mini dimensionals only tucking the end behind the circle. I popped up the bell as well just under the popped up piece of greenery. I finished the card front up with a few Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.
Next up is the coordinating treat holder..
I used the Season of Green and Gold DSP to make a Hersheys Nugget holder. These dimensions are for a small purse holder but instead of adding handles, I ran more linen twine through the top of the front and back and added twine and a label from the Greetings of the Season Dies added another piece of the diecut greenery and another bell die cut from the DSP. The basic dimensions of the Treat Holder is a 6" x 6" square scored at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2" and the other side scored at 2-1/2" and 3-1/2". Once you fold your score lines, you will see the 1" middle section that will be the bottom of the treat holder. At that time, you will cut down on the score lines to the bottom on both sides so that you can fold those sections in and adhere them with strong adhesive such as tear-n-tape or Seal +. This is a simple treat holder and I love that it can be made with just a 6 x 6" sheet of DSP.
