Here we are at the start of a brand new week. After a very chilly weekend in North Texas and the remnants of snow and ice still lingering in places even now, it seemed appropriate to start our new weekly series with today’s icey color palette.
This week, we’re going to be using the new Hugs for Love bundle that just released in the Stampin’ Up! January Mini catalog. This bundle comes with a stamp set and coordinating punch. And while it’s certainly going to fit the bill for your Valentines, this bundle is designed with versatility in mind. And I think today’s card is a great start at showing you just that.
Our card today begins with a base of Pretty Peacock, which pairs beautifully with the Timeless Plaid patterned paper that serves as our focal section background. A piece of the In Color glimmer paper is the perfect compliment to our plaid and really brings out the subtleties of the plaid pattern. Our Timeless Plaid panel is diecut using the Nested Essentials dies. The sentiment from the Hugs for Love set is stamped in Lost Lagoon, while the decorative portion of the panel is stamped in Pretty Peacock. A line of riverside irregular pearls catch the eye and compliment the pattern of our panel outline. The panel is then cut out using the coordinating punch and adhered over the Lost Lagoon & gold ribbon using dimensionals. A few Sunny Day iridescent dots bring the eye in to our sentiment.
Tune in tomorrow as we take a more traditional look at this bundle.
