Lovely Words Thinlit Dies from Stampin' Up!

  • Lovely WOrds Dies Sneak Peek
  • 6 days remain to order retiring items

Lovely Words Thinlit Dies


Today I'm playing with another item from the demonstrator preorder, the Lovely Words Thinlit.  This new die includes three dies spelling, "Friend," "Hugs," and "Lovely".  I've used two of the words on today cards.  This new die will be available soon, when the new Stampin' Up! catalog is released June 1.  I've paired this with the new Daisy Delight stamp set and one of the new In Colors, Lemon Lime Twist.  

Lovely Words Thinlit Dies




I stamped the new Daisy Delight flower on Whisper White and then on Lemon Lime Twist, and punched out the Lemon Lime Twist Daisy with the new Daisy Punch.  I also used the new Lovely Words Thinlit die to create the sentiment for the cards, cutting the words out of Basic Black Cardstock and then mounting it on a scalloped circle or oval of Lemon Lime Twist.  I like to stamp the Daisy twice, offsetting the second from the first, to give it a fuller look. I stamped the center in Basic Black and then accented the Lemon Lime Twist Daisy with one of the new, Clear Faceted Gems.  
  
     
Also using Daisy Delight flower stamp set and coordinating Daisy Punch



Below you can see two of the die cut words together on the two cards, Friend and Hugs.   You can see all three of the dies later in this post.  The new Faceted Gems come in either Clear or Gold.  I've gravitated towards the Clear more than the Gold, but I know I'll be order more of both these new embellishments when  the full catalog becomes available to customers and demonstrators June 1.  Although demonstrators can place preorders now, we are limited to only a few of the new items and we, like our customers, must wait for June 1 before we can order all of the new items from the catalog.      






I think these  new dies are going to be very popular in the new catalog.  While the dies cut the inner edge, they do not cut the outer edge.  I used the Layering Ovals or the Layering Circle dies to cut the boarder for the words.  This means the dies could be used to cut only the word and oval, or round shape out of a full layer, making this a perfect set for creating shaker cards or word windows.  







Be sure to add this to your June 1 new catalog wish list.    Want to receive your new catalog?    If you've purchased form me in the past year, you've received your new catalog in the mail.  Haven't order from me before?  Place a $25 order designating me as your demonstrator and your new catalog will be on its way.

Another Hello Lovely card



Hello Lovely


I was busy today preping for my Hello Lovely class this week end.   I just love this scrapbooking card collection set.  And if you choose to use the collection for cards, instead of scrapbook pages, you'll find this collection makes wonderful greeting cards.  




As I looked through the Hello Lovey card collection remaining after putting together cards for the class, I decided to make one more card with this set.  In the Hello Lovely Accessory Pack, I found an acetate sheet that I used as a layer between the base card and the image block.  I trimmed it so the White pluses showed at the bottom of the page.  I used Soft Sky for this card, although Pool Party would have worked just as well.  The flower in this image compliments both colors.  

        


Make wonderful cards using the Hello Lovely Project Life card collection




The sentiment block is matted with a Stitched Shape Circle Die cut.  The sentiment itself is part of a stamp from the Everyday Tags stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  I stamped the sentiment in Soft Sky to keep the overall soft feel of this card.  The sequins are also from the Hello Lovely Project Life Accessory kit.  I used one of the small circles from the Layering Circle Framelit set to cut only the words from this sentiment stamp.  I added a 1/2 " Very Vanilla Lace Trim bow to the corner of the image block.

     


Recipe:

Stamp: Everyday Tags (sentiment)
Ink:  Soft Sky
Paper:  Whisper White, Soft Sky, Hello Lovely Project Life Card Collection, Hello Lovely Project Life Accessory Pack

Crafting Forever with Floral Berry Burst flowers

  • Berry Burst Crafting Forever stamp set
  • Hello Lovely Project Life card class

Crafting Forever stamp set


This is the third card I've made this week with the new Crafting Forever set to give you a sneak peek at this new set, available June 1.   Take a look at yesterday's and the previous post for other ideas for using this set.  The images in this stamp set are shown further down in this post.  I used the paint bush pot and the scissors image on today's card. I like trying sentiments from other sets to get more use out of a stamp set.  This is also my first time using the new Pretty Label Punch and its coordinating Label Me Pretty stamp set.  




I chose Berry Burst, a new In Color, Whisper White, and Basic Black for my color palette today.  The sentiment and scissors are both stamped in Basic Black.  I stamped the paint brush pot onto a scrap of the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack, cut it out and added it over the stamped image.  The Scissors was fussy cut out of a piece of Whisper White and colored with black and gray water colored pencils and then the watercolor pencil was blended with a Blender Pen.



        



This stamp set will be available June 1 2017
Fresh Florals and Berry Burst with images from Crafting Forever




The sentiment block is matted with a punched shape using the Pretty Label Punch.  The matt was stamped in Basic Black with the boarders from the coordinating Label Me Pretty Stamp set.  This sentiment is from the Sunbust Saying stamp set.  I wanted to get this card in the mail so I didn't color any of the paint brushes, but the line art is perfect for coloring with watercolor pencils, markers, or ink and Aqua Painters.

     
Available in the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! annual Catalog
