Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - Bloggers' Choice - Annual Catalogue

Hi Everyone,

For this Blog Hop I decided to pull out the Framed Occasions stamp set and the Beautiful Shapes dies and I have CASEd a card from page 33 of the Annual Catalogue and changed the colours to Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and Shaded Spruce.

Materials

1 piece of coastal cabana card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"

1 piece of bermuda bay card stock 4" x 5 3/4", scrap for the sentiment

2 pieces of basic white card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment

Framed Occasions stamp set

Beautiful Shapes dies

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Bermuda Bay ink

Shaded Spruce ink

Sequins and Gems

Silver Trim

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

On the long side score the coastal cabana card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add the bermuda bay mat to the card front.

Die cut 2 hexagons for the sentiment, one in white, the larger one in bermuda bay.

Stamp the design on 1 piece of basic white, I have used full strength and then done a second stamp before reinking in a pattern across the card. I then added leaves with the shaded spruce.

Stamp the sentiment on the smaller hexagon using shaded spruce and also stamp another sentiment and some leaves on the remaining piece of white for the inside of the card. Adhere it in place.

Layer up the hexagons and add to the card front using dimensionals. Sprinkle some of the sequins on the card front, tie a bow with the silver twine and then add to the side of the sentiment with a glue dot.

It's a good idea to CASE ideas from the catalogue every now and again, the catalogues are full of great ideas. Please click on the links below to see which items that have inspired my lovely colleagues.
