A birthday card for a coworker! The 6.25" by 4.25" card was the perfect size for the four of us at work to fill out our birthday greetings. This card features new product that will be available on June 4th. The Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper is gorgeous! I fussy cut the hummingbird from that paper and used a different piece for the background. If you need a catalogue please contact me if you live in Canada so I can send you a catalogue!

Welcome to May's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - focusing on Flowers and Leaves.

At Onstage a few weeks ago we were given a pack of the new Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper that will be in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue starting in June. One side of this DSP has shiny accents and it has bright bold patterns. At first I thought the design on the sheets were too busy for me but then I found a card on Instagram by Janina Baltrusch and I cased it! The large leaves, butterfly and bee are all cut from the Designer Series Paper. Whereas the other leaves are cut out using the Leaf Punch.

Supplies
Stamps: Stitched All Around (greeting)
Colours: Crushed Curry, Mint Macaroon, Garden Green, Whisper White
Accessories: Leaf Punch, Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper, Rhinestones, Stitched Shapes Dies, Stampin' Dimensionals, Linen Thread, Subtle Embossing Folder

During my Facebook live on Thursday I case'd this card, that I received as a swap, to create my own card.

I changed up the colours and stamp set but kept the design and designer series paper the same. I'm still not sure I like the Melon Mambo card base, by the time I realized that everything was already glued to it. Not that a few days have passed its grown on me, so I'm glad it wasn't changed.


Join me on Thursdays at 7pm over on www.Facebook.com/FromWhereIStamp for my next Facebook Live.

Supplies
Stamps:  Butterfly Gala
Colours:  Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White
Accessories:  How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper, Share What You Love Artisan Pearls, Butterfly Duet Punch, Country Floral 3D embossing folder

The day before Onstage I decided to create some 3D swaps to use as roommate gifts, new table friend gifts and swaps if there were any left over. For this swap my goal was to use the Best Catch bundle in the Occasion catalogue and gummy fish inside the pizza boxes. I started with an idea to use a circle of velum as a peek hole in the pizza box, embossed the vellum with the Seaside Embossing Folder and then coloured it blue. That idea failed, the velum wasn't see-though enough to see the gummy fish I was putting inside.

My second idea was to use a square of Window sheet, emboss it and then colour it blue using a Stampin' Blend. It turned out okay, but still not transparent enough because I coloured it blue! So my final design has a clear Window Sheet that is embossed with the Seaside Embossing Folder and left uncoloured. I used a Stampin' Spritzer with rubbing alcohol and 7 drops of Balmy Blue ink refill to spritz the outsides of the pizza boxes before assembling them.


The fish were coloured using a variety of Stampin' Blends. Mixing different colours, such as Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake together is a first for me but I love how it turned out! Did you notice that the die for the fish has cut outs for the fins? Looks awesome doesn't it?

Supplies
Stamps: Best Catch
Colours: Balmy Blue, Old Olive, Garden Green
Accessories: Window Sheets, Stampin' Spritzer, Catch of the Day dies, Pizza boxes, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Blends in various colours, Seaside Embossing Folder, Layering Circle dies

Welcome to a Extra Ordinary Blog Hop to celebrate new products coming in June with the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue or products that will be carrying over from the current catalogues!


Last weekend at Onstage in Quebec City was a blast! There were 6 of us that travelled the 6.5 hour drive for a weekend getaway. At Onstage there were about 450 demonstrators from across Canada and from the US as well. The above card was our make and take at Onstage. The card base is a Note Card with the new Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper covering the card front. I wanted to share a new version of this card using products I was able to order early. Demonstrators that attend Onstage have an early chance to order from a Product Purchase Premiere and I made sure to order the Come Sail Away suite!

For this card I tried to mimic similar elements from the Onstage Make and Take card. The anchor was stamped and embossed in Silver and then die cut, instead of the lighthouse I used the sailboat and the die cut rope instead of the Baker's Twine. These 2 cards would work as part of a card gift set for anyone!

Supplies
Stamps: Sailing Home
Colours: Night of Navy, Soft Suede, Smokey Slate
Accessories: Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, Smooth Sailing Dies, Sail Away Trinkets, Night of Navy/Sahara Sand Baker's Twine, Note Cards, Tailored Tag Punch, Everyday Label Punch, Silver Embossing Powder, Stampin Dimensionals.
