Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons Stamp Set

I looked at the new Stampin' Up! Blended Seasons Stamp Set and was so happy that this set includes images for every season.  This makes it one of the most versatile stamp set you can purchase. While the images I chose today would look great in spring or summer subtle ink shades, I decide to use the images to create a background for my card and then highlighted one of the images as a focal point using less traditional colors.     

     



The basecard for this card is Crumb Cake.  The next layer is Night of Navy.  Then I created a background layer using another layer of Crumb Cake stamped all over with the flower and leaves images from this stamp set using Night of Navy ink.  

I didn't want to cover any of the stamped background, so rather than using the coordinating Stitched Season Framelits Dies, which is solid, I selected a die from the Stained Glass Thinlits dies to let as much of the stamped background show through.  I did use the Stitched Season Framelit Dies to create the leaves tucked under the flower.    

   




The flower focal point flower was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Then I fussy-cut the image.  I grabbed an Aqua Painter and my Night of Navy stamp pad and lightly colored the flower image.  Then I popped it up on dimensionals and added it to the card. 

 The Thank You Sentiment is from the Color Your Season set, one of several sentiments included with this set.  Again, I wanted the background image to show through, so I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a piece of Vellum Cardstock.  To hide the mini glue dots used to secure the vellum, I added two small gold Metallic Pearls.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

     

        


Here are a few more samples using this versatile stamp set.   If you can't wait for the Holiday catalog coming out September 5 to start your fall and holiday projects, this set and coordinating dies is a great way to get a start now.

Stampin' Up! Botanical Tag Thinlit - Again

I can't stop making these cute clear tiny treat boxes using the Stampin' Up! Botanical Tag Thinlit.  Last week I made one in Coastal Cabana.  This week end I made one in Whisper White and another in Petal Pink.  Add a ribbon an a few leave sprigs to the top and wrap the Stampin' Up! Botanical Tag Thinlit die cut around one of the 2" X 2" X 2" tiny treat boxes and you're done!  If you want, add a tag, but I didn't want to obscure the contents inside the box.  We'll make one of these treat holders in the Petal Promenade Class I'm hosting this week end.  Read more about the class below.  

     



The Botanical Tag includes three different die cuts that would work on your 2" X 2" X 2" Clear Tiny Treat Boxes.  I can't wait to try the one with the birds in Basic Black for Halloween treat boxes.  The same die on Whisper White is perfect for a Garden Party.  I think this is one of the most versatile dies Stampin' Up! had produced in this annual catalog.  

The tiny treat boxes ship flat, and easily fold together.  To avoid scratching the plastic, there is a thin film that you'll want to remove when you assemble the boxes. 


Below is what the 8-1/2 X 2" strip looks like after its been die cut.  I apply a strip of Multipurpose Adhesive strip to the back of the cardstock before die cutting, and I score the cardstock before die cutting.  The scoring dimensions for the cardstock strip:  8-1/2" X 2", scored on long side at 2-1/16", 4-1/8", 6-1/8" and 8-3/16".  I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score my cardstock, but a trimmer would work equally well.   
Wrap-Around die cut 4 times with Botanical Tag Thinlit Die


I die cut the image four times into the 8-1/2" strip and used the Die Cut brush to easily remove the chads from the flowers.
Card and treat boxes using Botanical Tag Thinlit dies


Then I removed the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet backing and adhered the die cut to the four sides of the acetate treat box.  I used a glue dot to secure the final edge flat. 

The bows were created with the 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle either alone or layered over coordinating ribbons.  The Botanical Tags Thinlit set also includes a leafy die that I used to decorate one of the treat boxes.

  

Recipe:

Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Petal Pink (one each): 8-1/2" X 2"
  Scored on Long side at 2-1/16", 4-1/8", 6-1/8, 8-3/16" 

Accessories:  Botanical Tag Thinlit, 2" X 2" X 2" Clear Tiny Treat Box, 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, Coastal Cabana/copper ribbon from the Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets, Big Shot, Big Shot Platform, Standard Cutting Pads Paper Snips, Bone Folder, Big Shot Die Brush, Simply Scored Scoring Tool,  Stampin' Trimmer, Multipurpose Glue, Mini Dimensionals
