Sneek Peek: New Catalogue

I'm sure many of you have been itching to find out something about the new catalogue?! The most I can do for you is show you a little sneek peek of a project that I made using some of the new products!

So here is a sample that I made using a new set, as well as a sample of one of the new colors!

This time around I actually decided that I was going to stop hoarding all my accesories, and so I used the Victoria 5/8 Crochet Trim, as well as a mini library clip! For those of you that know me, you'll notice that this card is so not my usual style. I was inspired by a card sample in the new cattie and decided to go with it, to see if I couldn't come up with a vintage style card!

For those of you who like seeing samples so you can re-create them here is what I did:

Supplies:

4 x 8 1/2 piece of Cardstock - Pool Party

4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of cardstock - Crumb Cake

3 x 4 piece of cardstock - Very Vanilla

Soft Suede Classic Ink

Pool Party Classic Ink

Mini Library clips

Crochet Trim - Victoria 5/8

Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin' Sponge

Snail

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Big Shot/supplies

Top Note Die

Take your Pool Party Cardstock and fold it in half to create your 4 1/4 x 4" card. Take your sponge and dab it onto your Soft Suede Ink pad and gently rub it over your card to create a vintage feel on the Pool Party cardstock.

 Next take the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and run it through your big shot using the Top Note Die. Texture 3/4 of the Top Note using the "large flower filler" from the Simply Soft, Hostess Set. (I'm not sure how else to explain it) Stamp this image randomly over the piece of paper that you cut out with the top note die. Now rip off the section to the left, by ripping towards you. Take the sponge and once again at some texture by running the sponge gently over the edges and crumple the paper slightly. Then run your finger nail around the corners to make them stand out.  Apply Top Note image to your Pool Party cardstock, using Snail.

Stamp the flower onto your Very Vanilla Cardstock using the Soft Suede Classic Ink, and then stamp the filler image using Pool Party Classic Ink. Tear out the image,by ripping towards yourself, and crumple it slightly. Remember the key word is "slightly". Once again you'll take your sponge and run it lightly around the edges and over the image to create more of a vintage feel.

Now apply this image using 3-4 Dimensionals place randomly on the back side of the cardstock.

You are almost done!

Take approximately, a 4 inch piece of crochet trim and tie it in a gentle knot. Attach this with a SUPER SMALL dab of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Now take your mini library clip and clip it onto the Very Vanilla Cardstock.

Tada.. there you have all the instructions you need. Aren't you excited about the new catalogue now? I know I was when I got my pre-order items in!

 If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Take the 4 1/4" x 11" Melon Mambo cardstock and fold it in half, using your bone folder for a nice sharp crease.

Take the piece of Whisper White and stamp all images for flower, Daffodil delight Classic ink for flower, Melon Mambo Classic Ink for the outline of the flower, Wild Wasabi Ink for the stem and leaves on either side.

Then take the cardstock and tear off the left edge, by tearing toward yourself.

Turn the Whisper White cardstock with your image over, and apply 5 dimensionals to the back. Four should be placed in the corners and one in the centre.

Glue strip of DSP(designer series paper), onto card using Snail.

Take your Grosgrain ribbon and apply a small strip of Snail to each end and place onto card, slightly overlapping the DSP.

Then take your Whisper White cardstock that has the stamped image and place onto your card, closer to the top of the card, as you can see in the above picture.

Take the sentiment, from the Fabulous Florets Stamp Set, and stamp this under your image using Wild Wasabi Classic Ink.
