Welcome to a very extra special 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team blog hop. By now you have probably heard about the new Stitched Layers Framelits dies. You can purchase Stitched Shapes Framelits ahead of their official release in the 2017-2018 annual catalog! With Stitched Shapes Framelits you can make thoughtful paper stitches in seconds, turning any project into one that is stitched from the heart. And during the month of November, coordinating stamp sets are 25% off! But don’t worry…Stitched Shapes Framelits will still be available for purchase after November 30.
My first project focuses on the the Suite Seasons stamp set along with the new Stitched Layers framelit dies. You are going to love these new dies. They add just the perfect amount of detail to all of your stamping projects. If I had my way, I would stitch on everything! Now I can have the look of stitching without the effort.
I cut the flaps off one of the White Gift Boxes. Because of their size (3" square) I was able to die cut scalloped layers of Real Red cardstock with the Layering Squares Framelits and then use the new Stitched Layers framelits to cut some Candy Cane Lane DSP to layer on top of each piece. For the sentiment, I used one of the stitched circles and layered a scallop from the Layering Circle Framelits behind. I love how the die sets work together. Here is what I am talking about. You can see the Stitched Layers (Crumb Cake cardstock) paired with some of the coordinating dies from the Layers Squares/Circles/Ovals framelits (Garden Green).
The shapes work wonderfully together and are the perfect addition to all of your paper crafting. I would even go so far to call them essential additions to your die cutting collection.
I love this sentiment and I immediately knew that I wanted to use it along with some homemade cinnamon sugar to give as a Christmas gift. The jar holds about 1-1/4 Cups of sugar and I added 3-4 Tablespoons of organic cinnamon to the mix. Who wouldn't love to have this on hand for adding to their coffee, oatmeal, or making cinnamon toast on a frosty winter morning?
For my second project I used the Oh, What Fun stamp set from the annual Idea Book and Catalog, to make this fun Santa hat treat box.
I die cut two pieces of Real Red cardstock with the Pyramid Pals Thinlits to create the box. Nobody likes boring boxes, so I jazzed it up a little by using the Seasonal Decorative Masks to stencil on some VersaMark ink and then heat embossed both pieces with some Real Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder.
The Jolly Hat Builder Punch makes to most adorable addition to the tag and is the perfect way to reinforce the Santa hat theme. To add just a bit of interest, I added some clear dots to the tag with the Fine Tip Glue Pen. (Be sure to let it dry completely. I added them to my tag as the very last step.) This little box is just adorable and is perfect size to fill with candy and give as a stocking stuffer or as a gift for friends, neighbors, or just about anyone!
If you are already going through the hop, you should have just arrived here from visiting my good friend, Cindy Schuster. When you leave here you will travel on to visit the amazing Inge Groot. Our team this year is super talented and you are going to love all the fabulous projects so be sure to visit them all.
I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR DEMONSTRATOR!
If you are in the United States and need a demonstrator, then you can order your supplies in my online store here.
Have a blessed day!
