It's time for our Fancy Friday Blog Hop. Our Fancy Friday team consists of some of the most talented Stampin' Up! demonstrators around. If you are following our hop, you should have just visited my amazing friend, Jeanna Bohanon. Isn't her project just wonderful. Our challenge this month is to tell about our top 5 product picks from the new Annual Catalog and then create a project using at least one of them.
The new catalog is full of beautiful new stamps and accessories and I had a really difficult time choosing only five, but here they are...
It would have been difficult to use all five items on a project, so for my card I used three.
I love that I was able to mix the new with the old for a great project. I started by embossing a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock with the new Garden Trellis embossing folder. Then I gently dragged a Whisper White Craft Ink Pad across the embossing to accentuate the pattern. Next, I stamped the image from the Floral Phrases stamp set. I used Stampin' Write Markers to color the images before stamping on Whisper White cardstock. I used one of the "almost" new Stitched Framelits Dies to die cut a circle. Then I also die cut the word "friend" from Basic Black cardstock using the new Lovely Words Thinlits Dies. I love the versatility of these dies.
To finish off the card, I die cut Old Olive and Always Artichoke cardstock using the leaves from the May Flowers Framelits dies. I used sponge daubers to color the edges of the leaves with the same color of ink and then I shaped the leaves using the round end of an AquaPainter on a Stampin' Pierce Mat.
I can't wait to see what the other Fancy Friday team members have created. Be sure to hop on over to visit my amazing friend, Susan Wong.
