Hello and welcome to September’s Global Stampers Blog Hop. You are currently visiting with me, Fiona Whitten (aka Oakfield Crafts).
This month we agreed to share projects made using our favourite products from the soon to be released Autumn/Winter Catalogue. The catalogue goes live on 5 September, so not long to wait now.
I’ve chosen to share a project that I’ve made using some of the products from the fabulous Country Lane Suite (pages 42-43). It’s actually one of the projects I’ve designed for my one day retreat later in the month. So, sssh don’t tell anyone you have seen it. LOL.
I used a white 8″ x 8″ deep box frame for the sampler and opted to use 5 stamped images and 1 stamped sentiment. I really like the layout that I came up with.
Quick tips for making the sampler
- The back panel is a piece of Country Lane Designer Series Paper.
- The small squares were die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits (Annual Catalogue).
- Images were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
- The stamped images were coloured using Stampin’ Blends including some new colours from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue.
- The jugs were also stamped onto scrap Whisper White cardstock, coloured and then fussy cut out (cut off the handles to make it easier). The cut out images were added over the stamped images using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron square panels are embossed using the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
Here are a couple of close-ups.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my project. Don’t forget to check out the projects from the rest of the Global Stampers Design Team.
