Well, it’s time for the 17 July weekly update, but to be honest there’s not too much to share with you right now. All the excitement will be happening next week when the Autumn/Winter catalogue can be seen by demonstrators. Instead, I’m going to share my You Made My Day card which was made using the Hoot Hoot Hooray stamp set (from the Experience Creativity brochure). This card is particularly cute because of the colour coordination between the flower and double sided paper.
The Rococo Rose paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ paper pack was die cut using a die from the new Stitched Nested Labels Die set. And, all the rectangles have been cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I had to shorten the piece that the flower is stamped onto, but this was easy to do. Simply use one of the longer sides of the die to cut off the piece not needed.
The flower was coloured using Stampin’ Blends and the rhinestones were coloured using blends too. Because the Stampin’ Blends are alcohol markers, they can be used to colour items to coordinate with the colours on a card. It makes everything look so professional.
Sadly the photos doesn’t show the centre of the flower too well. Some fine-tip glue was used to accent the centre of the flower so that it is shiny and glossy. Another product that has multiple purposes.
I hope you enjoyed seeing this You Made My Day card and the other Hoot Hoot Hooray cards. Voting is currently taking place on my facebook page for next week’s featured stamp set. Don’t forget to pop over there an add your vote (closes 18 July at noon – UK time).
