Sending Smiles

June 11, 2022

The FAB Stampers want to send smiles to all our stamping friends, so today’s FABulous post is filled with crafting love using the Sending Smiles bundle.

From Connie’s Craft Studio

The Sending Smiles Bundle is filled with pretty flower images and lots of great choices for sentiments.

The dies cut out all the flower pieces, along with the double “Sending” pieces and sentiments in two different sizes. The Sending die cuts look great layered and are easy to assemble if you use adhesive sheets when cutting the skinnier writing piece. You can also stamp the word Sending on the thicker die cut for another great look.

Card One

For the first card I used lots of white, with a Basic White Thick card base and a Basic White cardstock layer that I embossed with the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. I layered small flowers and leaves around my sentiment pieces, giving the card lots of texture. It is embellished with 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots in Sweet Sorbet.

Card Two

The second card continues the texture theme, but instead of embossing the Basic White Layer, I added a die cut from the Chic Dies. This is an awesome die for adding texture and interest to your card and is easy to use when you die cut it with adhesive sheet on the back. I love these for making the tiniest die cuts into stickers. The flowers and sentiment pieces are popped up with Dimensionals, adding more texture to the card. This card was inspired by the one in the top left corner of page 14 in the new annual catalogue!

Lots of In-Colors

Did you notice that both cards use all five of the new 2022-2024 In Colors? I love how well they work together, and I love all of them. This is a fun bundle and a great addition to your craft stash!

Vellum Layering Designs

May 28, 2022

Hello and welcome to another FAB Stampers post. This week its Leonie’s turn to share a project and she’s using the stunning Vellum Layering Designs pack.

From Leonie’s studio “Down Under”

Vellum Layering Designs

I love the Vellum Layering Designs Pack! They can add so much to your projects. I also love that this pack has carried over into the Annual Catalogue.

Vellum is great for adding texture and depth to your projects. It also gives it a touch of elegance and also a vintage feel depending on your project.

Here’s what I’ve created for you

The Vellum pack contains 12 sheets of 12x 12 in 3 different designs. Each design comes in black and white and you get 2 sheets of each. Being that there are three different designs I had to make 3 cards to share them.

Layering Designs Cards

This card uses the map/topography design. I chose the black print of this design as it pops on the Shimmery White behind it. Using the white would also look good with a coloured or dark cardstock background. I do love a black & white card so used Basic Black for the mat and the diecuts.

I love how this little one turned out. I’ve started with a Navy card base then popped a layer of patterned paper from the Sun Prints Pack. I layered a piece of the white handscript vellum piece between a layer of Shimmery White and Navy and let the Sun Prints piece show through the vellum. It gives a lovely muted affect. To finish off my card I added the sentiment and flower pieces.

While making the previous card the idea for this one came to mind. It’s like when you used to buy flowers and they’d be wrapped in Newsprint. I cut a circle from the black newsprint piece using the Stylish Shapes DIes. Then folded the circle like a cone and slipped the flowers and stems inside. It’s finished with a bow in the Cotton Trim.

All my sentiments were stamped onto Shimmery White and cut out using the Stylish Shapes Dies (these are a must have!)

I do hope you like these cards today and grab some of that stunning vellum to have a play with it.
