One Stamp At A Time - Something Old, Something New

Good Day Crafty Friends

Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for June. This month the talented Design Team are celebrating the release of the new 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue with a cool theme for this Hop - Something Old & Something New. 

There are always loads of fabulous favourites that carry over and appear alongside all the new delights in the Annual Catalogue, today's Hop is all about showing our followers how to create projects by combining old and new products.

I have chosen to showcase the new 2019-2021 In Colour DSP Packs, teamed with my favourite carry over bundle - Tropical Chic. If you are not familiar with the new 2019-2021 In Colours, let me introduce you;

Now that you are acquainted with the new In Colours, lets have a look at what I have created to share with you today.

First up in my collection of projects is the card. This is a clean and simple layout using strips of DSP and the frangipani flower image stamped in the coordinating In Colours. I saw this marvelous card design on Instagram shared by Yessica Batista @makeamark16 and thought it is such a fabulously simple and effective way to showcase colour combinations.

Up next is a set of mini pocket cards.  I have used a 6"x 6" sheet of 2019-2021 In Colour DSP in all five colours and created little pocket cards with inserts. With the envelope punch board now retired, I reverted to creating the pockets with a scoreboard, snips and adhesive.

I love the scripty font on the new DSP Colour Family Packs and wanted to showcase how stunning it is in all five colours. The pocket fronts were kept fairly simple with a stitched circle die cut, two frangipani flowers to match the DSP colour and die cut foliage created with the Tropical dies and smoky slate card stock.

The inserts have been stamped with the sentiment and flower image from the Vibrant Vases stamp set. The offcut from creating the little pocket envelopes was used to line the insert. A small circle of In Colour card stock has been punched with the 1/2" circle punch and score in the centre. This circle was then adhere to the end of the insert and then punch with small hole punch. Whisper White Metallic Edge Ribbon and White Bakers Twine have been added to enable the receivers something to grab and pull the insert.

That is all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by and hopping with us. The One Stamp At A Time Design Team appreciate the time you have invested to visit our blogs and see the creations we have to share with you.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Holiday Catalogue Favourites

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the last Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for 2018. This month we are featuring our favourite item from the Holiday Catalogue. I have chosen the very summery and non traditional So Santa Stamp Set as these kind of images are ever so popular in the South Pacific, with Christmas falling in the middle of our Summer. 

Our local fire brigade volunteers a fire truck so Santa and his helpers visit every house on Christmas morning, with his shorts and thongs, bellowing Merry Christmas as he throws lollies to all the neighbourhood kids. Local surfers will sport a Santa Hat on Christmas Day if there are waves to ride, in fact its not unusual to see a sea of red hats down any beach in Australia on Chrissy Day. 

I decided to use that cute little surfing Santa to create a bauble for our Christmas Tree along with four cards in four different colours.

The dome has a screw bottom so all I had to do was stamp, colour and fussy cut the Santa image with a little tab on the bottom so I could adhere him to the plastic dome with a few glue dots. The Palm  tree was made with the Tropical Chic Thinlits and some Wood texture DSP.  Some beautiful white Singleton Beach sand has been added to the bottom before screwing together.

All four cards are exactly the same design, I have just changed the colours of DSP and inks used. The sponged background has been completed using Shimmery White card and then adhered to the back of a "photo frame". The Photo Frame is easy to make, just cut a square from the top portion of a rectangular die cut. 

The card front has been die cut with the "x" border from the Stitched Labels Framelits in a zig zag pattern. This was then adhered to the whisper white card base. A layer of craft foam has been added to the back of the "photo frame" as these are being posted, the craft foam prevents any squishing or dents.

The frangipani flower from Tropical Chic was stamped in Pineapple Punch for all four cards, with the leaves of each card changing to coordinate with the DSP and coloured sponging.

The four colours used for the set of cards are Flirty Flamingo, Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel and Highland Heather.

Thanks for stopping by today. The DT Team at Sunday Stamping wish you all a safe and happy Festive Season. Until next month, stay awesome and stay crafty

Signs of Santa Shadow Box Card - AddINKtive Designs

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Hope you had a great weekend. We had some super stunning Spring weather in Perth, which saw the family get out and about down the beach and completing a few chores around the house, like cleaning the pool area, weeding the gardens and water blasting the cobbled driveway....and spiderwebs and fence and I love that thing lol. I would water blast everything if it wasn't so noisy!

With temperatures climbing above the mid 20's it was a reminder that Summer is just around the corner, as is Christmas! Today's card is another for my Christmas Card stash, the first of hopefully many fancy folds.

I LOVE shadow box cards. I love creating them and love seeing the recipients face when they receive them. They are super fun and easy to make, and because they are a little different, they are often put on display and therefore admired by many.

The tutorial for the Shadow Box card can be found at AddINKtive Designs here. This will give you the basic dimensionals and instructions on how to construct the Shadow Box card, the decoration is entirely up to you. 

The So Santa stamp set with the Surfing Santa image is so dang cute, I cant stop using him lol. I thought he would look great teamed with a sponged background and some tropical foliage.

The sponged background was masked and created with Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove and Tempting Turquoise inks. The water image stamp from High tide stamp set has been inked with Coastal Cabana to create the water section, and the Waterfront stamp set has been used to create the Island and Palm Tree's in the background.

The Sahara Sand insert that holds Santa has been ripped along the top edge, sponged with Soft Suede ink and stamped with the sandy image from Magical Mermaid stamp set before adhering to the inside of the Shadow Box.

The Tropical Chic stamp set has been used to create the Frangipani and leaves along with the coordinating dies. These elements have been adhered to the outside of the Shadow Box with Tombow.

To finish the card, I added a little sign with the HO HO HO sentiment, linen twine and the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.  I have a large panel on the back of the Shadow Box Card to write a lengthy message, and the other wonderful thing about these cards, is that it folds flat for posting, which is great when posting International.
