STAMPtember | Clearly Besotted Exclusive

Hello there, for STAMPtember again this year, Simon Says Stamp and Clearly Besotted have got together to create a stamp set. It is called Holiday Banners and I know you are going to love it!

The set has two banner images in it (perfect for lots of different design elements but I think they are also great for tags), as well as smaller elements to fit in to the banner opening, or can be used on their own. The set can be purchased from Simon Says Stamp today. Today I made a card and a little treat bag using the set.

 

For my card, I used the snowflake from the set and stamped this multiple times on to a piece of TH Watercolor Cardstock using Versamark ink. I then applied WOW! Clear Matte Dull embossing powder and heat set. I then used the ink smooching technique to apply various shades of TH Distress Ink. I also added some splashes of Perfect Pearls mixed with water.

 

 

This panel was then added to an A2 white card base. I took a panel of cardstock and cut a circle from it using the SSS Stitched Circle dies. This panel was added to the card base with foam tape. The sentiment, from the CB Sentimental Type set, was stamped in black on more cardstock and cut out. It was added to the card with foam tape. To finish off I added some sequins.

Since I had the supplies out, I thought I would also make a little treat bag to accompany the card. I love making little treat bags at Christmas time. They are the perfect small gift to add to the dinner table.

 

I made the treat bag using some (old) Doodlebug patterned paper and my score board. The banner, from the Holiday Banners stamp set, was stamped on to white cardstock using SSS Sea Glass ink. I then stamped the snowflake in the centre with SSS Audrey Blue ink and added a gem to the centre.

 

 

The banner/tag was then cut out and added to the treat bag with some white twine and a mini clothes pin. I added a little Multi Medium Matte to the twine and then wrapped around my pokey tool to give some movement to it.

An Acorn of Thanks

Hello there and happy Sunday to you! I hope you are having a great weekend so far. I am here today to share a card I made for a friend, using the new Clearly Besotted Little Things stamp set.

 

I started off by stamped the leaves on to a panel of white cardstock. I used PTI Spring Moss ink for the main portion and then added a little PTI Simply Chartreuse ink around the edges for a bit of depth. I then stamped the acorns in the same way, using Classic Kraft and Dark Chocolate PTI inks. The sentiment, from the CB Many Mini Messages set, was stamped using black ink.

 

 

For the card base, I die-cut a border using the middle sized die from the CB Scallop Edges collection using some PTI Spring Moss cardstock. This was added to an A2 card base made from PTI Kraft cardstock. The white panel was then added to the right hand side. To finish off, I added a little clear Wink of Stella to the acorns.

Seven

Hello there, today I am sharing the card I made for my niece's birthday a few days a go. I cannot believe it, but she is seven already!

 

For my card, I started off by stamping the TGF Birthday Anya image with black ink and then colouring her using Copic Markers. I also added a little Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents to her hair clip and cherries on the cake. I added dots to her dress with a white gel pen. She was then cut out with scissors.

 

With my Cricut Explore I cut out a seven on to a panel of white cardstock. On a white A2 card base I added a sheet of paper from the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine paper pad (unfortunately it looks like this has now been discontinued). I then added the seven panel on top with foam tape. Birthday Anya was then added on top with more foam tape. To finish off, I added some Doodlebug Cupcake Glitter Sprinkles.
