Project Share Project Blog Hop – April 2024 – 3D Project!

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop. Our theme this month is 3D!

See the other projects by using the links below, or use the “Next” button at the bottom of this post!

Victoria Littlewood – VickieLou Designs

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

Those of you who follow me regularly will know this is not my usual style of crafting, but I have had a go at making a paper bag mini album.

I’ve used a mix of retiring and newer products to make my project today.

The 2023 In Colour Treat bags form the body of the album. These ones are Boho Blue.

The stamping has been done with Boho Blue and Starry Sky inks… These colours go together so well!

I recently discovered the Of Art & Texture stamp set… Love it!

You can see how I made the album in my video tutorial… It’s a longer video but I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s a view of the inside. Journalling panels were added to the pages, decorated with the same stamping and ink blending for a coordinated look.

Measurements (inches):

Front/Back Cover – 4⅞ x 6⅛
Spine – 4⅞ x 1¾, score each side at ½ inch
Journalling Panels – 4½ x 5¾
Front Panel – 4¾ x 6

I also rounded the corners. You can of course add additional layers as you would like.

This sample was made using Wild Wheat and Early Espresso, bring in the Petal Park stamps instead of Colour and Contour, (both sets are retiring)

The panels on the inside were layered on to the darker cardstock (I completely forgot on the blue version)

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Clean and Simple Stamping with Timeless Charm!

Hello Everyone,

We’re going back to basics, with some simple Stampin’ today.

I’m also going to try a show some of the stamp sets that will retire when the new Annual Catalogue goes live in May.

Today, I’m using Timeless Charm today.

I like the way this set can make a watercolour-style background behind the sentiment.

Super easy to do….

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

No dies or punches used today either, but of course you can use whatever you want.

Here’s a blue version … Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky!

Both cards just had a few metallic pearls added – that’s it!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire Create Challenge #164 – Anything but a Card!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #164 everyone is making anything but a card!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

Boy, was this a challenge for me…. 3D projects really take some brain power, but, a couple of prototypes later, I made this little box!

You can see how I made it in my You Tube video tutorial, including the measurements I used.

I used Very Vanilla cardstock for a change too, as it matched the little bottles I put inside.

The box sleeve was stamped using Boho Blue and Starry Sky ink and the Painted Lavender stamp set. The sentiment is from Perennial Postage.

I secured the box with coordinating Boho Blue ribbon.

Here’s another version using Pretty Peacock ink and ribbon!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Neutrals Card featuring Planted Paradise!

Hello Everyone,

I’m having another bash at using the Planted Paradise stamp set today. No dies to go with this so if you want dimension, it’s fussy cutting! ✂️

I’ve used (mostly) Neutrals for this card – I did seek in a little Old Olive for some contrast.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

Don’t forget to check out the online exclusives in the Stampin’ Up! store… These embossing folders are new!

Here’s another idea with same stamp set and the retiring In Colours…. So fun and bright!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Bright Colour Challenge featuring the Biggest Wish Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

You all know how much I love colour challenges…. This one is on Facebook, why not check it out!

This one is a bright palette I would never have put together but I was really pleased with what I created.

I’ve used an old faithful in the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. The bold sentiment will do a lot of the work for this design.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

A spritz of water added some fun detail in the blended background.

The small stamp in the set and the Neutral sequins embellished the card!

Here’s another idea with same stamp set and blended background used in a different way.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Inspire Create Challenge #163 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!

Challenge #163 is a colour challenge!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

I’ve used Enduring Beauty Bundle to create my card project today. I am really enjoying using the Mask, Stamp and Die together to make gorgeous cards – and it’s so easy!

You can see how I made this card in my You Tube video tutorial….

I love this colour combo, and it was perfect for this card. The Fresh Freesia ink was layered to create depth on the flowers.

For this version, I didn’t die cut the image but just created a flat panel with clean edges for a different look.

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Fun Hello Card featuring the Just My Type Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

This stamp set has been sat on my shelf for a little while and today I’m finally creating with it!

I’ve used some warm neutral tones to make this sample. The combination of Wild Wheat and Copper Clay with Early Espresso made a really fab looking card!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

For the original sample I used all the 2022 In Colours!

These colours will retire when the new annual catalogue is published later this year, so don’t miss out stocking up on cardstock and ink refills!

Here’s a bonus card using up the extra letters from the stamp set!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

The green version uses Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green.

Both cards were embellished with sheer ribbon and some lovely coordinating pearls.
