OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES

A couple of people had asked me to make a sympathy card - I had make another card previously in blues and reds and thought this colour combo would be good for a sympathy card -  I forgot how much I like early espresso, soft suede and crumb cake together.  

I started with the stripey stamp in early espresso to anchor everything.  I visualised a spot in the middle of the stripes and radiated out from that point doing the first of the two step stamps in soft suede and then crumb cake.  The little wheat heads were stamped in rich razzleberry.  The flowers are also two step stamps which were inked in rich razzleberry - these stamps are manufactured so that I did not need to stamp off first with the second stamp and they were really easy to line up accurately.  And they were easy to fussycut as well.

NEEDLEPOINT NOOK ARROW

This arrow card looks more complicated than it really is and is something a little different.  I really enjoy making fancy fold cards - nutting out the 'how to' is satisfying.

 Find the centre of the card along the bottom edge and mark with a pencil, measure up the sides and mark at 5cm (2") and 10cm (4") and then score from the centre bottom up to the 5cm and from centre bottom up to the 10cm.  Fold the 10cm score mountain fold and the 5cm score valley fold.  You do need to adhere these folds so that the arrow sits nice.

This card only requires one 10cm x 14cm piece of DSP which has been cut from bottom centre up to top left and right corners.  I then adhered the large triangle on the front and the two smaller triangles on the inside on the white cardstock which is also 10 x 14.  I then stamped the happiest birthday from Needle & Thread stamp set as far down as I could.

I did use a few retired items - the candy dots (I want SU to bring them back!!!!), the ribbon and the 1 3/8 circle punch.  The DSP, Floral Frames,  Needle & Thread stamp sets and the Big Shot are retiring as well.

BIRD BALLAD

Looking for showstopper products from the 2019–2020 annual catalogue? We have the perfect suite waiting in the wings. It’s called Bird Ballad and the images and sentiments are incredibly versatile. Plus, with birds taking the starring role in this suite, it’ll appeal to just about everyone—birds are always on-trend. 



Want to know how we created this suite of products? One of our stamp illustrators drew the stamp and Designer Series Paper images. They were then handed over to the concept art department where each image was coloured using Stampin’ Blends. Next, one of our designers scanned the hand-coloured designs to edit, duplicate and fine-tune coloured images for the Designer Series Paper.

• To accomplish this we are offering the Shelli kit as an exclusive, limited release in all of our global (Europe, South Pacific, Japan and Quebec, Canada) markets starting 15 May.
