CASE the Catalog – Country Lane Suite

Sep 17, 2018 | Cards, CASE The Catalog, Holiday Catalog, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Happy Monday and time for CASE the Catalog featuring the Country Lane Suite from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog (page 42-43). The suite of products offers lots of options using the Country Home Photopolymer stamp set, the Country Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Tin Tile Dynamic Texture Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF), as well as, the different embellishments. The project that I recreated uses the Chicken Wire Elements and the Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF to add an extra touch to the card. There are so many wonderful suites in the Holiday Catalog, it’s hard to select which is my favorite but this suite is one that will definitely get lots of use!

Materials:

Mint Macaron card base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (score at 4-1/4″)
Country Lane DSP: 4-1/2″ x 2-1/4″
Whisper White: 3″ x 4-1/4″ for front, 5-1/4″ x 4″ for interior, small scrap for stamping Hello
Chicken Wire Elements: 4-1/2″ x 2″ – NOTE: cut in 1/2 before attaching to card front
Ink: Memento Black, Crumb Cake
Stampin’ Blends: Cajun Craze, Blackberry Bliss, Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
Everyday Label Punch (to cut notches on edges of the Whisper White front piece)

CASE the Catalog Steps:

Use the Tin Tile Dynamic TIEF to texture emboss the card front and then using Sponge Dauber lightly sponge the front using Crumb Cake ink.
Stamp the milk can image and the floral spray onto the Whisper White card front using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink – NOTE: stamp off center toward right as shown on sample.
Color the image using the blends. Swish Crumb Cake below the milk can. You may spritz color below the milk can or add dots (as I did) using the tip end of the Soft Suede Stampin’ Blend. Stamp sentiment and color with Cajun Craze stampin’ blend, then fussy cut to add to front of milk can.
Assemble card by layering the Country Lane DSP and adding the Chicken Wire Element pieces at an angle ensuring that pieces will extend past the stamped image layer.
Add the stamped image layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Country Lane Suite – coming soon!

Aug 28, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Boxes, Cards, Country Lane Suite, Mini Gable Box, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Some of you joined me for a Facebook Live presentation last week showcasing the Country Lane Suite that is in the 2018 Holiday Catalog. While ordering is not available until next week, I am posting the information on the card materials and the Mini Gable Treat Box showcased during the presentation.

Project materials are as follows:

Card base – Crushed Curry Cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ to create a top fold card base
Country Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP): 5-1/4″ x 4″
Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: cut 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Whisper White Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 4″ (for inside of card, trim after completing card front and stamping the image to ensure you are able to center the image in the oval); 3-1/4″ x 3/4″ for sentiment
Country Home Stamp Set,
Layering Ovals Framelits
Classic Stampin’ Ink: Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss
Stampin’ Blends: Light Mint Macaron, Cajun Craze Light & Dark, Dark Daffodil Delight, Old Olive Light & Dark, Blackberry Bliss Light & Dark
3/16″ Braided Linen Trim
Adhesives: Snail, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
Tools: Big Shot, Paper Snips
Other: Cotton Swabs

I am also sharing another method for cutting the ovals versus the method demonstrated via the Facebook Live presentation. Both methods work equally well.

Embellished Mini Gable Box

A favorite project from the Facebook Live presentation is stamping an image from the Country Home Stamp set onto a Lustrous White Mini Gable Box (it’s also a funny portion of the presentation as I drew a blank on the name of the box!) Yes, we must laugh at ourselves! On to the project details, using Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad stamp the desired image onto the side of the box. Next, sponge Balmy Blue Classic Ink around the floral bouquet image prior to coloring with a variety of Stampin’ Blends. Stamp a tag with Blackberry Bliss and cut using the 1″ circle punch. Use the 1-1/4″ circle punch to cut a scrap of Crumb Cake for the tag base. Further embellish with a folded strip of 1/4″ Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon.
