Hello, Crafters.
Yesterday was a day of clearing up, washing, dealing with
queries, getting my nails done, and crafting! I made two cards,
one of which be made into a video sometime soon, and
a Thank You card to share with you here on my blog! I
can’t tell you how good it feels to be back! ☺
I’m so pleased we can now buy Designer Series Paper
(DSP) Stacks in all the colour families again. I chose
Coastal Cabana and started with four 1.25″ squares in
DSP, and four 1 3/8″ squares in Coastal Cabana Cardstock
(CS). I adhered the squares together in pairs with Tombow.
Next I adhered them onto a piece of Whisper White CS
that measured 3 1/8″ square, alternating them between
vertical and horizontal. I stamped Thank You – which is
from the Southern Serenade Stamp Set – on to a piece
of Whisper White CS using Coastal Cabana Ink. I punched
it out using the 1.25″ Circle Punch and adhered it to a
scalloped Coastal Cabana circle I’d punched out
using the 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch.
After adhering them together with Tombow, I adhered it to
the square using Dimensionals. I took a layer of Coastal
Cabana CS and dry-embossed it using the new Swirls
& Curls Embossing Folder which will be available
in the new Christmas catalogue.
If you have shopped with me in the last twelve months, I
will automatically send you a free copy before the end
of August. If you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up!
demonstrator and would like to shop with me, I’ll be happy
to pop a catalogue in the post!
Just email me your details to janb@janbcards.com.
I added the top layer to a layer of Whisper White CS , and
adhered a piece of our 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around
the lower half, and then I added a piece of retired Coastal
Cabana Ribbon. I tied a separate bow using a piece of
Tuille Ribbon and adhered it using Tombow. I used
Dimensionals to adhere the square to the card front,
and decided it needed something to finish it off!
I made three flowers by stamping, and punching out
the Bunny tail from the Best Bunny Stamp Set. I
gave the flowers some dimension before adding a
Basic Pearl in the centre of each. I also added three
small Basic Pearls on the sentiment. I added a layer
of Whisper White CS inside the card but left it blank
as it’s a Thank You card and I like to leave plenty
of space in case the message is a long one!
That’s about it from me today! Until tomorrow, happy crafting.
JanB.
Very pretty, Jan. I'm with you on the DSPs being available again and it's rather lovely too!! Love that textured embossing folder background and the ribbon … it's all so pretty!! TFS and so nice to have you back too!!! Glad you had such a wonderful time while away, however.
Many thanks, Geraldine. As much as we had a great time, it's good to be home! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

I love this colour Jan, it is so cheerful and seeing it being used along side its DSP too makes me even happier. I love the new embossing folder and will have to get round to putting in an order shortly. :O) xxx
I like this colour, too, Lorraine. In fact any colour that's turquoisey! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
